I don’t think there’s any good answers here. Wasting their time will push their numbers down which, if they are not deemed productive, will almost certainly result in potentially horrific negative consequences for them or perhaps a loved on

I get presented with one or two of these a month. It’s easy to be calloused until you remember that these people are also victims, often in worse ways than you could ever be as one of their targets. The best thing is just to ignore complete

There are token rewards for successes and punishments, sometimes extreme, for low productivity. If a slave is seen as having no worth to the endeavour and cannot be trafficked, they will sometimes be killed as a warning to the others that p

It was a pretty wild ride, for an arvix paper lol. Easily as good as a provocative work of fiction, It had me questioning my marriage briefly until I rolled over and looked at my toddler, and briefly thought “holy shirt this runs deep!” (An

This made me taste cringe. It’s orange flavoured and weirdly acidic like something the dentist used on me when I was 7.

I see you didn’t grow up in the 8 bit age lol. Early computers usually displayed characters directly mapped to the screen, with no space between them. There wasn’t enough memory to store a bit for each pixel, so they stored only the charact

by K0balt 1y ago
I get that, but it figures in when you actually put this on pixels. I’m thinking about practical use of such a font, most likely on a pixel-constrained screen, otherwise you would use a higher definition font. It’s a cool hack, and for some

by K0balt 1y ago
White space around each letter is completely critical for fonts like this. That makes this font 4x4 as presented, or 3x4 but you lose a lot of readability—too much imho. The exception to this would be a physical manifestation, where each 2x

I think this would BOM/build at about $60 At JLCPCB if you did some minor optimizations for Asian supply chains and ordered >20 at a time, so I think we could see these boards eventually around a $100 price point or even less. I wo

Long live the em-dash! I frequently am accused of using LLMs to write my prose, something that I not only eschew, but also believe is morally corrupt and intellectually dishonest. I’m not above spellcheck, grammar checkers, or even LLM driv

We can call it whatever, and yes, the answer is training- just like all things regarding the quality of LLM output per parameter count. The problem is that many people understand“hallucination” as a gross malfunction of an otherwise correc

by K0balt 1y ago
Tool use seems like a much better solution in theory. I wonder how it works out IRL?

by K0balt 1y ago
Hallucinations are actually not a malfunction or any other process outside of the normal functioning of the model. They are merely an output that we find unuseful, but in all other ways is optimal based on the training data, context, and mo

Yeah, information about external reality cannot be generated from entropy alone.

The idea would be to use mech Turk and fiverr as touch points with reality. I’m not saying it’s a good idea, just that in theory it might work.

by K0balt 1y ago
Might kinda work if you gave it tools to do its research on the open internet, fiverr, mechanical Turk, etc.

I wonder about the possibility that AI “clankers” and slop are being weaponised to attack the open internet to push human “data generators” into walled gardens where they can be properly farmed? I mean, from an incentive and capability matr

Holy crap. I realized that I have had, at one time or another, at least 8 of these robots before my 20s, all of them I tried to improve in one way or another, which got me started on the at2313 (?) chip from armed and started my microcontro

Really cool. I love things like this where the human in the loop is the point.

I love this study and the presentation - first time I’ve not hated the hijacking of scrolling on a website. But I shudder at the thought of the new AI product that this data will inspire or train. It’s gotten to the point that I see any sig

There’s still product-market fit frontiers waiting to be found out there! (/s) It’s depressing how whenever I see people doing people stuff without a screen in their face I both smile internally and reflexively wonder how we could bet

The actual point is to create barriers to trade so that companies will seek exceptions (buy his shitcoin, donate money, or prove fealty). It’s a power/money grab, nothing more, nothing less. Trump has one ideology - trump first.

> Brits are on the order of 1000x-10000x more sensitive to that side effect? That is wild. If true, it would have to be genetic? I mean, unless it is chronic dehydration from their sense of humor?

I’d love this to be true but the tech involved is Sci-fi level stuff. Neutron beams used to chop off atomically perfect slices of giant silicon crystals and wacky stuff like that. TBF garage fabs -are- a thing but it’s in the hundreds of n

No, it’s not. Appeal->higher level review. 97 percent of your regular customers get served with no issues. The problem is that the fraudulent ads fetch much higher than average CPV and CPC.

I think there was a a line somewhere between “we will literally run ads that purport to sell products that obviously cannot exist based on any known physics” and “we audit the financials of the parent companies of anyone that advertises on
