We’re not far off from the point where a 30B parameter model could do that and run on not-too-expensive hardware. See recent Qwen releases for example and extrapolate the current rate of progress from there.

I see. Can you say more about this? What’s the trade-off of removing it?

I agree it’s not likely , but I really don’t see how one can dismiss the possibility of immense danger outright. I can think of some scenarios that are not far off from current capability and I wouldn’t be too surprised if the first one oc

I think you’re underestimating the risk that seemingly innocuous behaviours could easily tip over into disaster territory. At some point the escalating capabilities cross a threshold where it’s no longer wise to ignore “agents spontaneously

That's largely because a lot of developers have made the devil's bargain of replacing standard hardware and OS primitives with badly re-implemented C versions of same. People did it because they could , but never considered if th

That tweet says “Muse Spark open weights releases coming soon”, not that this specific model is going to be open weights.

Agreed. This view also makes sense if we look at pre-agriculture humans - they’d eat heartily when there’s a good catch, maybe eat some leftovers the next day, go without food for some time, etc. Evolution by natural selection doesn’t move

That just tells us the person wasn’t a good parent either. Your comment assumes the only way to parent is to manipulate, patronize, etc. That’s just one perspective though. There are other ways to parent that are actually fantastic manage

An “orange cloud” with no other indication to represent a feature that is enabled-by-default (with implicitly enabled analytics) sounds like quite the dark pattern. The UI makes the DNS record seem to point to A (your entry) but actually po

What a shame. I wasn’t expecting these dark patterns from Cloudflare at all.

I imagine Gemini would do better on these types of tasks. Curious to try it out.

I don’t particularly buy the author’s story here, but “doesn’t count how many new items are pending” is a feature for me. I don’t want my RSS reader to feel like yet another list of tasks I’ve to get through.

This line of thought strikes me as very short-term. I’m already a shareholder and employee of the company, but that’s beside the point.

Are you being sarcastic? Even if “Google is struggling so badly” (which it really is not - the narrative will flip again at some point), these efforts will have a lasting impact on the world. Not everything good is about bringing in revenue

Anthropic expends tons of compute and effort on understanding internal model states [1]; this kind of thing is right up their alley. [1]: Recent example: https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace

Don’t know about Swish but UPI heavily influenced Pix, from its open architecture, alias-based addressing, and QR code infrastructure

The unhappiness is primarily stemming from Bun’s ownership by Anthropic - HN sees this as Anthropic using an OSS project for reckless marketing stunts. For the record I don’t believe it’s a stunt, it’s ridiculous to me - everyone’s just see

The “no moat” comment is from May 2023, very early in the LLM era. Agents were not a thing yet, it was all just text generation. The integration of LLMs with tools and data via agent harnesses has created the opportunity for a real moat. As

Just holding Nasdaq 100 ETFs is enough? People get impressed by "doubled my money" but forget that the most important question is - how much time did it take? Even a super safe asset with 3% returns will double your money... in 24

by vickychijwani 1y ago
Doubling your money in 10 years is < 7.2% per year compounded. With the risks involved here, I wouldn’t take that bet. There are safer assets that would return that much.

I’m curious about your politics that are comfortable accepting a long list of invasions by the US, but somehow draw the line when it comes to this particular invasion. I’m not saying it’s good to favour invasive countries, I’m just saying

by vickychijwani 1y ago
It’s ironic the way you put it - the US has also invaded many countries, is responsible for a lot of cyber crime, and uses misinformation to sow chaos in other countries [1]. Should we all stop “funding“ the US? Somehow Ukranian lives are p

What “US proprietary systems” does UPI lock people into, exactly? The number of available UPI apps today exceeds 100. Some of the big ones are created by US companies, sure, but many are created by Indian/non-US-owned companies. There
