I presume post training is significantly easier than the distillation/training the top Chinese labs are doing. I wonder if, similar to the American labs, they'll become stingy with their weights once they start getting immediatel

Well, are you planning to do something with this information or are you just claiming to be self aware? :)

I'm lucky enough to not notice my tinnitus except when I try to do nothing.

I think you're equating doing nothing with doing nothing productive. You're usually still ruminating or trying to distract yourself from the source of the pressure.

I wonder how long it'll be before AI labs find a revenue stream that doesn't involve renting out their models, and stop letting us ride on their coattails. They'd tease us with solutions to hard problems, with code that is or

I'm guessing the next generation of US frontier models will be heavily anti-distillation at the cost of user experience (significant rate limiting, more flat out refusals, hidden thinking, etc). And as long as they maintain a significa

May not be very effective if so. I'm assuming finding vulnerabilities in open source projects is the hard part and what you need the frontier models for. Writing an exploit given a vulnerability can probably be delegated to less scrupu

It's also trading at a huge premium. Probably worth a read if you're considering it: https://www.morningstar.com/funds/fundrise-innovation-is-not...

My hunch is it's a combination of * coming in with a bias of not wanting it to work * having too high of an expectation * giving up too early * not trying SOTA models * not taking the effort to communicate intuitive or painfully obviou

In my case, the volume of code is roughly the same. I'm not using the efficiency towards pumping out more code, just using it to be AFK more. I spend enough time iterating and refining to the point I'm comfortable taking ownership

More like a day's worth of coding condensed into half an hour. Time to review/test is mostly unchanged. Day to day is mainly minor feature additions into a stable product so not a huge amount of code churn.

Is that you, boss? People with a lower multiplier are either in the minority of developers solving genuinely hard/novel problems or, more likely, they've just not figured out how to tap into AI's potential. Granted, to your p

My probably incorrect, uninformed hunch is that users convinced of how AI should act actually end up nerfing its capabilities with their prompts. Essentially dumbing it down to their level, losing out on the wisdom it's gained through

Or simply embrace ignorance. Why hold on to things you don't use? Accept AI as an extension to your brain, and let the now dormant parts atrophy. Yes, you will be vulnerable should you lose access to AI at some point, but the same goes

Huh. I'd never thought of this. If that is actually meaningfully beneficial, I wonder if they'd design self driving cars with the seats facing backwards, given there's no longer a necessity to look at the road. (edit: I guess

Would you have a problem if AI was no longer a tool but the artist itself (i.e. no human intervention)? People seem to have an irrational fear of being entertained by AI, equating that to admitting that it is a higher form of intelligence t

Surely they've reserved the best models for themselves and have people looking into how to optimally harness untapped potential from LLMs? Edit: I guess the competition between them keeps them honest and forces them to release their be

You can still do all these things manually. Now you just have the option not to.

The article says the man was trying to see the squirrel's back implying a larger radius. But yeah if your circuit completely fits inside the other person's circuit, then you've been gone around, no matter how slow or fast you

That the man technically went around the squirrel without ever having caught up to it.

by xlbuttplug2 9mo ago
Say instead of just walking, the man was laying down a net/barricade around the tree. As soon as the man completes the circumference, the squirrel must admit that it has been gone around.

I have very fond memories of playing the Pokemon games, but I always saw the battling aspect as a hurdle to unlocking more of the story/world, which was the true appeal to me. I was content turning my brain off and overleveling my mons

I have the exact opposite prediction. LLMs may end up writing most code, but humans will still want to review what's being written. We should instead be making life easier for humans with more verbose syntax since it's all the sam

Even lay-er person, but maybe the specificity is not that impressive in mice? Perhaps when you scale to more complex animals it is inevitable to see false positives (detrimental effects to healthy cells)?

I think it has to get good enough to a point where humans are not the bottleneck for code review and course correction. I guess the "velocity" multiplier is closer to 10x rather than the 1000x needed for true disruption capability

I think the turning point will be when AI assisted individuals or tiny companies are able to deliver comparable products/value as the goliaths.
