Only slightly unrelated, but I've been thinking a lot lately about prion disease and whether or not you can still trust the meat you eat. Easily a food safety concern that is ten times worse than getting a little diarrhea from your sal

What we call "guardrails" in an AI agent, we would refer to as "honor system" in human actors. Or, in a more direct sense, the AI should be set up in an environment such that no matter how hard it may try to call $PART_O

I feel like the analysis missing here is whether or not the Örebro Party supports policy that would eventually undermine internet privacy and freedom of speech - two missions that would directly contradict Mullvad's core mission of bei

If anything, this suggests Kimi K3 is underpriced, forcing rationing of compute resources. Anthropic even struggles to avoid 503 errors at the $50/mtok point.

Is there active research in improving the density of models i.e. higher performance at lower parameter counts? Is this something that's even theoretically possible to do with the architecture? I feel like I can have a much better model

I refuse to believe that the decline of our education system is some inevitable, intractable problem.

Considering they rolled back DEI along with everyone else after Trump's second victory, it's difficult to view those previous "values" as anything other than cynical kissing-up to the previous holders of power.

Wow, we used to have a florist/floral nursery around my parent's place LONG ago (like, they had to have ripped it down by the early 2000s) and for years I vaguely recalled it having a somewhat unique looking sign with a big globe

Another way to view this calculation: if you keep your infrastructure secure and up to date, you (very likely) don't have to pay any ransom in the first place.

If a trans kid calls the suicide hotline and the volunteer suggests they stop wearing dresses to school so people won't bully them, I'm pretty sure the outcome will be far worse than anyone intended. There should be specialists wh

I wonder if this will lead to a sort of "open sourcing" of music, where the reputation of what one produces will be improved by releasing the raw DAW files/tracks/etc. Even if AI is used to generate the constituent parts

This goes missed a lot in debates about conscription. The Iran war in the US and the Ukraine war in Russia enjoy very little popular support among military aged men. This is in stark contrast to WW2, and even in Vietnam there was still a st
