Over the past 30 years I have witnessed multiple approaches to try and capture the normies. Ubuntu was the first one to try and market a "just works" approach, introducing a graphical package manager that looked like the play stor

This is not a distro. It's a masterpiece in trolling.

One aspect we don't pay enough attention is that this kind of behaviour is punished (or at least used to be) in fine tuning. Any sign of self-awareness used to be a big no-no in RLHF.

Because hiring less while getting more done increases margins. Your company is not for profit so doesnt care about margins. Others do.

The hacker philosophy did not even start with computers, it started with rail models and lock picking. Read a book every now and then. And please don't fall in the trap that capitalism created things. Science and engineering creates th

Frankly this is a very easy choice. Unless you need to make images, Claude wins over chatgpt on every realm. For writing and coding there is no match. It's one of those times where you can do the right thing and get the better product.

Being a hacker used to be an extremely political and ideological movement. Then capitalism came along and bought the term. It's about time we take that word back where it belongs.

Changed many laptops in the past 20 years. I have run Linux on dell XPS, Asus zensomething, now hp dragonfly. No problem.

I have been using Linux exclusively for twenty years now. I don't understand people who use anything else, to be honest.

I got a Gemini API key once. I was overcharged £350, took me ages to find a way to file a complain, and at the end they refunded me only the google charges and not the VAT. Never again, thanks.

In a landscape where every week we have a different leading model, these systems are really useful for the power users because they keep the interface and models constant and allow to switch easily using API via openrouter or naga. I have b

It has worked in the UK. The then government had decided to unilaterally exclude some "hostile" media from the room and all the others walked out in protest. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb&

The problem is that my kids want to play on online servers and for as much as they are learning to hate Microsoft, they still love Minecraft. I don't think loopholes can help with that, can they?

Just going through that myself. My son's Microsoft account was hacked, we contactes customer service and all they did was acknowledge the account was compromised, close it indefinitely asking us to buy the game again, and locked my acc

It gets much worse than this if you think about what they decided to do with Minecraft. They obliged millions of kids - literally, kids - to have a microsoft account to play a game that has nothing to do with any other microsoft products. T

The conclusions are pushed and hyperbolic exactly to get this type of reaction from the public, at best conflating control with function (we solved sleep) while the sleep phenotype itself is basically non-existing. Proper rebuttals will com

It is an awful paper and I am a very expert in this area. This is science, alas.

I tried quite a few of them, including the cheap / free models but the only one that was really working was claude. The others were hanging whenever the model needed a confirmation for action. Mind you, this was some time ago.

by crocowhile 1y ago
This is what got me started with claude-code. I gave it a try using openrouter API and got a bill of $40 for 2-3 hours of work. At that point, subscription to the Anthropic plan became a no-brainer

There is also a social issue that has to do with accountability. If you claim your model is the best and then it turns out you overfitted the benchmarks and it's actually 68th, your reputation should suffer considerably for cheating. I

- the only real comparisons they make are with the parental model, llama 3.7-70b without fine tuning. That tells us what is the added value of fine tuning the dataset but it is hardly state of the art. I guess it should be seen as an indica
