Process is the same, but intent is not. One intent is to extract information from the book for better general eloquence and overall awareness - not for replicating the book itself (ability to recall verbatim fragments is a side effect, not

Hmm, training on a book’s text smears the content all over the weights, merging it with all other texts. The original text isn’t intentionally supposed to be reproducible in any larger part (although IIRC models were able to emit fairly lar

Tons of music that nobody listened to is certainly nothing new. Predates “AI”, and even Internet for sure. What would be indicative are shifts in distribution of listeners outside of extremities (excluding top hits and low audience both), b

I surely can be, but I don’t see it so far. How the latter suggests the former? The demand doesn’t have to scale infinitely - I don’t believe the demand is or was anywhere near saturation.

As I naively understand it, that's when we do or say something then narrate ourselves why we decided to do so. We think non-verbally, then verbalize a plausible rationale for it, post hoc. I'm not sure that applies to discursive w

Isn't that just a token noise from a broken implementation or model quantization? I've had models spewing out nonsense like that, every time it was either that there was a bug in llama.cpp or some messed up .gguf.

Yea, I don't get it either. Receiving being a condition on membership means (in my understanding) only that non-members can't (shouldn't) receive anything, not that members will or must receive something. Which sounds perfect

Ah, yes, although that’s a different situation from the linked post, more disrespectful (and potentially nefarious) than a sloppy readme. In those cases, most likely, more than just laziness is involved.

Tastelessness aside, it also shows that author doesn’t (or refuses to) understand why someone may decide to delegate a documentation task to a subpar agent. Laziness. Yes, conceptually it’s something about surrendering one’s voice and agenc

To reiterate, my suggestion is to ignore the cameras and just focus on regulation and prohibition of actually harmful activities - that is, publication without depicted persons explicit consent. If some tiktok shitheads abuse the public tru

That permanence is a bit of a myth. Bit rot is as real as physical one. At least four cloud storages (Bitcasa, hubiC, Ubuntu One, Cyphertite) I’ve used in the past are gone.

“Potential” in a sense wearer’s actions are necessary to cause harm. Or vendor’s, for other risk scenarios. One has to not just have a camera but have that camera recording to a persistent medium and - most importantly - be an asshole to pu

My point is, people point at the camera but have actual issues with some potential capabilities of a system that’s not the camera itself but way downstream of it. Can we please learn to point at correct things? I honestly don’t know what wr

I don’t know how I could’ve made it even more obvious that cameras themselves don’t record anything.

Glasses’ camera [usually] sits right next to couple more cameras embedded in wearer’s skull. [Almost] nobody has any problem with those. That strongly suggests me it’s not the cameras that are problematic, but something about what happens t

What about backpressure, how does it handle requirements for VRAM allocation when VRAM is used for swap space? With X11 it's not that bad (buffers are pre-allocated), but with Wayland allocations are a lot more dynamic, so running low
