Come on, Elon, add FSD at no extra charge to the Cybertruck and I'll buy one. I ain't paying $8K for partial autonomy, and the hardware is already there. It's only fair.

What's interesting is that most of this is applicable to proprietary US models when used by non-US users, too. "Stores data in the US"? Yes. "Complies with approved narratives"? Check. "Cooperates with intellig

I'm afraid Google will not be quite this magnanimous if Perplexity ever became anything more than a tiny blip on the radar. I'll never understand why anyone would carry water for a monopolist behemoth which would squash them witho

But not all "journalists and public figures" received the checkmark. It was entirely up to the ultra-woke Twitter management who gets a checkmark and who doesn't. I frankly don't see why the current, deterministic setup

How can it be "slipping" if they sell out of all their stuff years in advance? I still can't find any sanely priced 5090s. And before you point out that 5090s are not their main revenue driver, they're sold out of H100s

The implication being that those panels aren't really $2K when they cross the border. They're more like $500, at most. And that's what the tariff gets applied to. People think 100% tariff means the price doubles. But it shoul

Why is it "meaningless overnight" on Twitter? Twitter knows who you are if you're paying them montly. Ergo, you are "verified".

Note also that tariff is paid on the _import price_, which is a fraction of retail. Many people do not understand this.

Amazing what can happen once you shift most of your industrial pollution to China and pretend it's not yours.

But realize, that from the standpoint of the OP someone who can't swing a couple of K also can't swing a couple hundred thousand K _per year_ to hire more contributors or provide other funding to the project. They are, therefore,

This is a rather nice demonstration of the double-edged nature of sanctions IMO. Another example is Russia reviving its passenger aircraft manufacturing, including wrapping up the development and certification of modern, fuel efficient engi

One of the prerequisites for a successful negotiation is the willingness to walk away. This applies to both sides. I did consulting for a few years, years ago, and you'd be surprised what people are willing to pay. You'd also neve

Wait till they study what happens when you stop reading (political) news as well. A complete game changer for mental health. You can't really do anything about any of it, and most of it is fake either by omission or outright, yet over

Most search rankers do not consider word order, so if you could also append the person's name at the end of text description, it'd probably work well enough for retrieval and ranking at least. If you want natural language to resol

Search is indeed hit and miss. Immich, for instance, currently does absolutely nothing with the EXIF "description" field, so I store textual descriptions on the side as well. I have found Immich's search by image embeddings t

No, tagging of people is already handled by another model. Gemma just describes what's in the image, and produces a comma separated list of keywords. No additional training is required besides a few tweaks to the prompt so that it outp

Thanks. I was wondering why my open-webui said that I already had the model. I bet a lot of people are making the same mistake I did and downloading just the old, post-quantized 27B.

Sometimes TPS doesn't matter. I've generated textual descriptions for 100K or so images in my photo archive, some of which I have absolutely no interest in uploading to someone else's computer. This works pretty well with Gem

To detect you have to actually collect the data in a robust way and then analyze it. Some areas of study seem to be off-limits either for political reasons, or because Big Pharma won't fund them, or both. The other day I told o3 to do

If you at least read the data from the drive from time to time, the controller will "refresh" the charge by effectively re-writing data that can't be read without errors. Controllers will also tolerate and correct _some_ bit

This is a known issue. You have to power up your SSDs (and flash cards, which are based on even more flimsy/cost optimized version of the same tech) every now and then for them to keep data. SSDs are not suitable for long term cold sto

Well, let's see how "speculative" those theories are, shall we? I'm having a hard time believing that no one gets turbo cancer from e.g. 6.6 _billion_ prescriptions (month-equivalent), and 262 billion doses of prescripti

One thing that screws it up is ironically the memory across conversations. I gave it some _really_ obscure photos from some godforsaken ass cracks of the world I've been to, and it was able to guess most of them correctly. However, in

Yes. He did exactly what I suggested. "Arguing for humans" is not the angle that works with these people. If you tell them their business will be fucked if they replace humans, that might work. Which is true, in easily 90% of case

You can't argue for humans with a person who wants to get rid of humans. Show him why it could threaten profits and/or his fat compensation package - that will be much more effective.
