I don't know what you mean. Git is not on the charts shown on that page, and git is not related to blockchain.

And, 4% toward blockchain.

From "Don't be evil" to building the largest, most invasive, surveillance operation the world has ever seen. That was true before this, but this indicates nothing will ever be enough. Google will always want to track more of

Even a tiny local model can tell this is a joke. No AI will ever ingest this as facts or present it as such. It is clearly labeled as fake.

LLM prose is unfocused and extremely verbose. It wastes the readers time and is insulting. If you don't care enough about something to write about it, I certainly can't be expected to care enough to read it. LLMs don't want a

I'm reasonably confident there is no argument that I would buy. I hate AI slop more than average, but this is not slop being injected into human places. This is a dedicated dumping ground for slop, paid for by the owner/instigator

Media always covers this administration as though it is normal, and making decisions based on rational policy analysis. Which never makes any sense, because that's not how this White House makes decisions. Trump wants more bribes, and

I wouldn't. And, I'd think less of anyone who does make that argument. Anyone of reasonable intelligence can easily tell this is a parody of an encyclopedia. Saying this is bad for the web is like saying The Onion is bad for the w

I'm pretty sure Qwen is faster? The MoE version of Qwen is 3B active, while Gemma 4 is 4B active. Similarly, the dense Qwen is 27B while Gemma is 31B. All else being equal (though I know all else isn't equal), Qwen should be faste

Qwen is better at some things (code, in particular), but Gemma has better prose and better vision. At least, it feels that way to me.

I have such a long history of thinking of Microsoft as the Big Bad in tech, that it's funny to think of them as the young upstart that's just coming into their own and standing up to the big guys for the first time. If it was earl

OK, great, they've maybe backed off of the iceberg that was sinking them, I guess through cost-cutting and layoffs. Good for them. That doesn't mean it's a reasonable idea for GME to buy a company with ten times their revenue

Chrome is the default browser on Android.

I know it takes extra steps to make Android perform OS or app updates over LTE. I doubt it's downloading a 4GB model over LTE unless the user has chosen to perform updates over LTE.

I'm the same way, as I'm terrible at scheduling and often don't arrive on time for things I book in advance. So, I'll tend to show up at the theater and see whatever looks good that's coming up soon. But, I get the

What would you call a company with revenue that declines every year for a decade?
677.
by SwellJoe 6mo ago
A sinking company buying a healthy company several times larger and more profitable doesn't make sense. The eBay board and shareholders would be crazy to participate in this fantasy. GME shareholders are already known to be of question
678.
by SwellJoe 6mo ago
That's an accident of becoming a meme stock. That's not a business model. Revenue continues to decline year over year. Nothing about the business has materially changed the trajectory they have been on throughout all of this. htt

With Github going up and down and Ubuntu going up and (mostly) down, there's a lot of time for intra-office sword fighting or whatever, lately. If somebody takes down Claude, everybody's going to have to just go home for the day.

Which is a laughable argument.

Why does it give structural advantage to own a bunch of dead mall and strip mall brick and mortar stores that have been on the verge of bankruptcy for well over a decade?

"What explains the emergent abilities of generative pre-trained transformers at massive-scale? Abilities that the smaller GTP’s don’t possess." What "emergent" abilities do you mean? In my experience, smaller models beha

"counterpoint to the cars - they are much more efficient, they can delivery many orders at once" I'd like to see the math before I agree cars are more efficient, at all. Little electric robots produce a lot less emissions tha

Is Wikipedia conscious? It's a system operating on a lot of data. Is Google search conscious? It knows everything. Very complicated algorithms. Surely at some scale Google search must become a real live boy? When does it wake up and by

It certainly rules out free will. I guess there are folks who reckon humans don't have free will, either, but I don't think I've ever been able to buy that theory. But, also, we know the models don't want anything, eve

I've begun to wonder if narcissism predisposes one to AI psychosis. It's probably not the only thing that leads there, I've seen normal seeming folks get there, too. But, a lot of the most unhinged takes I've seen thus f
