It’s kind of wild to criticize people for not providing the conversation prompt logs they had with LLMs and then publish code on GitHub generated by an LLM without publishing their own LLM conversation log.

“Infini-attention” isn’t perfect memory, it’s highly compressed representations of the entire history. (https://arxiv.org/html/2404.07143v1).

Much like quantization. The longer the context gets the worse the compression makes recall.

Recent comments by the new Japanese PM stating that an invasion of Taiwan may trigger an “existential crisis” for Japan that would allow them to deploy self defense forces to defend Taiwan.

It’s created a gigantic diplomatic and economic fight between Japan and China.

Even if you assume human nature is greed, it’s also human nature to have their babies eaten by wolves but I don’t see anyone suggesting we should center our society on baby tossin’ wolf pits.

It’s a shame Moore’s law doesn’t seem to hold anymore.

They said they can’t do that in the article:

but at the same time, we cannot ‘take over’ the application identifiers for the open-source apps we distribute, as that would effectively seize exclusive distribution rights to those applications

They’re both “immutable” in the sense that they’re setting up either read-only Filesystem Hierarchies (as in bazzite, which uses ostree) or Symlinking their entire filesystem hierarchy to a read-only “store” (as in nixos).

Bazzite uses something called ostree to “diff” the filesystem hierarchy much like git does, while Nix basically makes giant read-only store of files and hashes them, then weaves them all together into a “view” of a filesystem that gets symlinked into the context of a running program.

It’s not just that, it’s also the fact they scored the responses based on user feedback, and users tend to give better feedback for more confident, even if wrong, responses.

And then when those AI also have issues do we use the AI to check the AI for the AI?

Unless revanced somehow gets the APKs resigned it will almost certainly destroy revanced.

If you’re putting in that much work, please submit those edits to musicbrainz! We need all the help we can get 😭

As a musicbrainz editor, don’t depend entirely on Picard and musicbrainz for correct tagging either cause shit isn’t as well curated as you think.

Does ollama have a graphical client now? I have always run it as a background server.

I don’t agree with a total ban, but the writers of the article downplaying the harmful content on YouTube I think have forgotten the multiple times YouTube has gotten in trouble with advertisers for shit like “elsagate” where they were showing mutilation etc. of Disney characters targeted at children.

There needed to be some kind of regulation, but an outright ban is a bit much.

This feels like they’re trying to drive a tack with a sledgehammer.

Well, Stable Diffusion 3 supposedly purposefully removed all porn from their training and negatively trained the model on porn and it apparently destroyed the model’s ability to generate proper anatomy.

Regardless, image generation models need some porn in training to at least know what porn is so that they know what porn is not.

It’s part of a process called regularization, or preventing any particular computational model from over-fitting.

Payment processors are monopolies for online and electronic payments because there is no global infrastructure (outside Chinese offerings) for electronic payments that don’t rely on Visa and Mastercard.

For the people who are dunking on this by saying that historically things have been fucked up:

I think the point of the tweet is that systemic development doesn’t stop at capitalism.

I’m pretty sure lots of educated people during the feudal era were saying that it was the best system available and at least they were dying less often than the Romans.

I was definitely in the same camp of thinking (I mean Hindenburg etc, duh). But there’s been a bunch of studies where, because hydrogen basically immediately dissappates up and away, unless you’re in an extremely cramped area it’s much safer in collisions and unexpected containment breaches.

Even then, it actually poses less of a threat to life because it doesn’t create smoke or burn for awhile like gasoline does.
