It may seem useful at first, but eventually you'll hit a wall where this doesn't work, and you have to add another memory technique. Eventually you end up with a complex multi-layered system, because what people want by "memo

Agreed. Attackers use any means (inc. abliteration, fine-tuned security models, etc) to find exploits and only have to be successful once. Defenders don't have the same time and motivation, so neutered models put defenders at a disadva

Think of MCP as a universal CLI tool for anything you can imagine running on a server (remote!). Even if you wanted to use a local CLI tool to call some remote server command, local CLI tools have different input/output formats, differ

Using nicer language doesn't change the argument. You're still suggesting that corporations be required to pay for the software, which is a reversal of the terms of the license. Let's ignore for the moment that this is manipu

Somebody's got a case of Chesterton's Fence. They doesn't understand what MCP's for or how it's used, but they find it mildly irritating or unhelpful, so they demand it be removed. MCP is an abstraction for remote t

Honestly, the privilege and entitlement of some people. You made a thing, you did a lot of work, you gave it away for free. Nobody stole it from you. Nobody even asked you to make it. You created this situation yourself. And now you're

As usual, Google makes it "googley" by building an incompatible monolith with the kitchen sink included.

Which is a bit crazy, isn't it? Like a micromanager gone mad. They claim it's a community but it feels more like one person's plaything

Yes that is what I mean. It's an intimidation couched in gentle language ("don't say things like that or else") and the threat is banning. Examples are in my past comment threads and some to my email years ago. I've

The mods are much more sensitive now to anything they consider flame-bait, flame-baiting, or controversial. Much quicker to intimidate/threaten, de-emphasize posts, flag-kill, etc. I presume because HN may be influencing/affecting

Agreed... that said, humans will happily do something wasteful for a very long time if it's easier than the alternative.

The problem with these laws isn't that they can search you at the border. It's that they can search you within 100 miles of the border ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception ). The total number

"Building blocks" makes it sound like things you can use to build other things. In reality it's more of an octopus, or a fungus.

Forgetting things isn't lossless though is it? Makes the benchmark and the finding quite suspect

It might be 'duh' but it means we need a formal list of what each model is good at, and to pick or change harnesses to closer fit the model. Like an llm recipe book. Not just for remote models, but also local ones where how you ru

Came to ask the same. From my really rough understanding, it seems like Unsloth's method allows a slightly higher precision at a higher file size, while PrismML's uses a different approach to achieve a smaller size (and presumably

Which is fine, and how these businesses should've been run from the start. Require auth, use the sign-in to increase conversion, that increases revenue, that revenue's used to increase capacity. When free plans become a drain on p

It's definitely one source of GitHub's issues. They never implemented limits properly and their codebase is likely decades of cruft and impossible to retrofit quickly (to say nothing of their horrific mysql clusters). If you want

And the end started when China was admitted to the WTO. They had this huge cheap labor force, a government that could centrally plan (in addition to ignoring little things like environmentalism or rights), and an immense wealth of resources

And this wouldn't have happened if we had tried to get them to buy our hardware rather than trying to gatekeep. Protectionism never works in the long term.

How are you holding it? You'll get wildly different real-world results from different inference providers, for one. For two there's the harness and what you do with it. In general you'll need to provide more direction to li
