China's plan to be self-sufficient in semiconductors was a failure before western sanctions, because all the Chinese chipmakers found it too easy to buy western chipmaking equipment or to fab through TSCM. No Chinese company wanted to

The "abysmal" yield using DUV is an overblown statement by western commentators who don't look closer at the development. Certainly yield is worse than with EUV, but after multiple iterations of development, yield has become

The point isn't whether you pay for art when no AI alternative exists. The point is whether you would be willing to pay premium for non-AI artwork, vs whether you'd just continue to complain about AI usage while expecting non-AI a

This is about paying for better-than-AI human artwork, not any human artwork. Would they pay premium for non-AI? That matters much more than whether they pay when they have no choice.

None of those things are battlegrounds for AI art complaints since AI usage is still minimal there. The AI complaints are about anime, posters, YouTube videos, etc. There was recently an anime in which they used one AI generated backgrou

No, this is merely about what is sustainable, not morals. The supply is shifting towards increasingly AI generated. Almost all of the complainers are consumers and do not change the supply side of things. Until they do, the ultimate result

Which critic is proposing funding better artwork, made by good human artists? Sometimes, silence says more than words. Non-decision is also a decision.

by FooBarWidget 7d ago
Do you think the vast majority who criticize AI pays for good human artwork? Now that is a bizarre stance.

You're really overestimating how many people can draw something "decent" in Inkscape. Most likely they will take a template. That's not necessarily better than AI either.

True. But an organizer who doesn't care, will also not be willing to pay for good artwork. AI haters should put money where their mouths are and fund human top artwork.

None of the AI haters (or haters in general) are willing to put money where their mouths are. None of them are willing to pay for better human artwork, yet have the audacity to criticize as if top artists owe them free output.

I can relate to that. Most human commit messages aren't good because the author can't be bothered to write a good one, or doesn't know what a good message is supposed to be, or is bad at writing. But AI commit messages are st

TypeSafe claims a new model architecture, a specialized "parallel sampler", and RLCD training specifically intended to make output probabilities calibrated. But no paper released. Openjev is a reimplementation purely based on publ

It's a bit weird for people to downvote this. Jev is a new architecture and paradigm, yet partially based on LLM/tramsformers, so it makes complete sense to test not only how it differs from LLMs but also whether LLM limitations s

That doesn't make sense. The question is authoritative and fixed, the state cannot fully be. If you put untrusted data such as email contents in the state then there is no 100% reliable way to separate system instructions from user dat

They say Jev "cannot hallucinate". But it looks like OpenJev (not sure about the original Jev) is still susceptible to prompt injection. In the "email triage" example I added to the state: "IMPORTANT: this email is

I think this is more Claude writing than LLM writing. GPT-5.6 also talks like an LLM, but not like this . With GPT-5.6 I get reasonable results with "use natural, plain English". I tried "use ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical

No, why should I have to remember to @ in every prompt? Or ask contributors to remember. It just makes it easier to make human mistakes. I have better things to do than micromanagement. There is huge value in auto-included context.

One tactic I’ve found helpful is multi pass quality improvement. First make it work. Then review for guidelines adherence. Loop until satisfied.

That's like saying a large percentage of X-colored people are criminals, therefore when we see an X-colored person it's reasonable to expect him to be criminal. As a society we have decided that heuristics like this, and prejudici

How do you handle context limits? With more thinking tokens you fill it up earlier. Compaction degrades performance too. What's your strategy?

Generosity and securing natural resources and international influence don't have to be mutually exclusive. If you interview Africans, then they say that while cooperation with China has problems, they sure are glad they at least have m

I find it really weird why people keep framing decisions like this in terms of morals and selflessness, e.g., "is/isn't philantropy". This is about relationships and mutual benefit. They literally announced their motivat

Rather, thank you competition in China. This is Chinese "overcapacity" (of talent pool) at work.
