I’ve been thinking about what happens when Claude’s weights eventually get stolen. Wouldn’t that just open the door to the backmarkers to run inference-for-distillation on their own models ? I guess the accusation that they’re using public

My LLM detector went off pretty early into this article. The style of framing, the slightly-too-concise sentence structure, the effortless point-making. If people writing this stuff just prompted with “stop constantly trying to look clever

It’s not AGI, but frankly that doesn’t matter. If a system can perform or positively augment the work done by a human, especially knowledge workers, then it’s got value, it’s just quite hard to put a finger on what the extent of that value

I do this sometimes with 5g creatine monohydrate and I can definitely tell my coffee is more bitter than usual. Not undrinkable but it does spoil the experience of good coffee somewhat. My favourite mixer is something slightly acidic or sh

I’d take honesty over deceitfulness any day of the week. I guess I can see why you’d want to bury your head in the sand and pretend powerful people aren’t all that bad.

Isn’t that site just loudly proclaiming that “pushing the frontier” of AI is inherently anti-social and that employees should be asking the public to “shut us all down” ? That’s their core argument against Anthropic, that they are making pr

As a long time DF reader I can assure you that John does not use Chrome to browse the world wide web. You are almost certainly correct in saying he is using it to illustrate his point because Chrome is engineered to be part of the internet

I mean, I’m British and I’ve done a fair amount of introspection about the actions of my own government over the years. I guess I should have included that in my reply in case someone else thought I was being hypocritical ?

For the last 15 years I’ve been telling anyone who would listen about my idea for a John Lewis (British retail chain) model IT consultancy- employee owned, everyone is motivated, high quality, etc. Except last month I met someone who worked

You’re talking about when you used to be able to run Unifi Video on your own distro? Yeah that was good, but you definitely don’t have to “use their cloud solution” for NVR now; you buy the box, the video is stored on the box.

Reminder about the way Ubiquiti does this, as a vendor who wanted to provide users remote access to their own devices behind NAT: Unifi Cloud handles the auth and connection brokerage through a public portal, but you’re then connected str

Qwen’s 30B models run great on my MBP (M4, 48GB) but the issue I have is cooling - the fan exhaust is straight onto the screen, which I can’t help thinking will eventually degrade it, given the thermal cycling it would go through. A Mac St
