I don’t disagree, but they should be. Last I knew, the government doesn’t control the means of production… and the current US regime loves to boast about it. Confusing right?

Does the last part of your comment explain it? They need revenue to expand capacity and the market has opened up a window to become a bigger supplier while still being profitable.

Self awareness is silly, but the capacity for a powerful minority to oppress a sizeable population without recruiting human soldiers might not be that far off.

The DoDs recent beef with Anthropic over their right to restrict how Claude can be used is revealing. > Though Anthropic has maintained that it does not and will not allow its AI systems to be directly used in lethal autonomous weapons o

I’m not so sure. In terms of total revenue, yes probably insignificant. But in the world of subscriptions and a highly speculative market, I think declining subs can have an outsized impact on share prices.

You present the Bible as one text composed at one time, but I’ve never known anyone to take that view. The Bible can’t “take itself incredibly seriously” because it spans millennia in time, including at least a hundred years after Jesus. Hu

There are a great many views about this depending on who you talk to. In Christian circles, it’s essentially the infallibility vs inerrancy topic, with fundamentalist denominations leaning toward inerrancy (which is the view that original m

This is really awesome detail. I’m very impressed by the amount of care taken to identify a good template. I started a small hook to try and do this using DSPy prompt optimizers, but haven’t had a compelling use case to try it with. This se

I do not know a lot about this subject, but couldn’t you make a pretty decent index off of common crawl? It seems to me the bar is so low you wouldn’t have to have everything. Especially if your goal was not monetization with ads.

> If MMF doesn’t exist today, building a startup around it means betting on model improvements that are on someone else’s roadmap. You don’t control when or whether the capability arrives. I love this. I think there's a tendency to

I’m totally in alignment with your blog post (other than terminology). I meant it more as a plea to all these projects that are trying to go into production without any measures of performance behind them. It’s shocking to me how often it h

This is just evaluation, not “benchmarking”. If you haven’t setup evaluation on something you’re putting into production then what are you even doing. Stop prompt engineering, put down the crayons. Statistical model outputs need to be evalu

Yes, essentially a higher level programming language than what we currently have. A programming language that doesn't have strict syntax, and can be expressed with words or code. And like any other programming language, it includes spe

At this point, I am starting to feel like we don’t need new languages, but new ways to create specifications. I have a hypothesis that an LLM can act as a pseudocode to code translator, where the pseudocode can tolerate a mixture of code-li

That was one claim about their purpose among many others. But it doesn’t make sense either. Will America start growing coffee? Will we suddenly develop capacity for all of the raw materials and processing we require to make everything in-ho

You can donate to churches that are organizing to help bring food and supplies to people too afraid to leave their homes. It doesn’t have to be a political group.

Where I live in the west, the time to break even was projected at 7.5y for panels rated that run at 85% for 25y and expected lifetime of 30y. I think the main consideration where I live is whether you can make the investment and if you plan

Not that I disagree with you, but the dangerous part is rogue government. No amount of anti-AI will make up for a government not working for the good of its people.

I don’t think “supporting” a technology or not has the same effect as supporting a political position or lack thereof. You can be pro-AI and pro regulation of AI. You’re right, there’s no end of things that are legal (except by making those

Read that article and it makes most of this conversation irrelevant and pointless. I have to say this is the only thing that even makes sense.

I think this is my experience as well. I tend to use a shotgun approach, and then follow with an aggressive refactor. It can actually take a lot of time to prune and restructure the code well. At least it feels slow compared to opening the

It’s not just that, it’s that the administration knew they weren’t guilty of any crimes and sent them to be tortured anyway. If you can stomach it, propublica has been covering stories like this since the summer [1]. Meanwhile, the MS13 h

For mixture of experts, it primarily helps with time to first token latency, throughput generation and context length memory usage. You still have to have enough RAM/VRAM to load the full parameters, but it scales much better for memor

It’s an interesting question isn’t it? There are obvious qualities about being able to find information quickly and precisely. However, the search becomes much narrower, and what must inevitably result is a homogeneity of outcomes. Eventual
