Well yes, there are only so many attention heads (well whatever magical variant frontier models are using these days) that can attend to the context and so as the context grows attention becomes spread thin. But with reasoning enabled I fin

Interesting. I agree that it seems that LLMs are wont to fall into recognisable patterns much more readily than humans however I asked a model to evaluate your comment history and it found loads of patterns such as: “I’m not sure…” / “

For sure. If you write with a casual conversational tone people don't get triggered. But if you are eloquent and use an extended vocabulary thanks to large amounts of reading then that seems to make people think you're using AI. A

Ah right, thank you for clarifying. But I think my point still stands, isn't the geometry information THE information I referred to in the first place? Obviously the vector size gives you the granularity but it's kind of unavoidab

Eh people don't care if something is true or false they care about the dopamine hit they get from engaging in tribal behaviours that reinforce their freaky belief systems that often aren't rooted in any kind of reality. Humans are

I'm not as heavy on the maths stuff involved in this as other people commenting appear to be. But the idea makes sense, of course there is still recoverable data in embeddings, that's the point. Though as I constantly find the mor

IANAL, especially not an American one. But if you're worried just pop it on anon GH. Besides the fact that this sort of protection through obfuscation is dead now anyway. If you can ask an LLM to do it so can I, or anybody else. The on

Tbf "is it a crime" is hard for even a single lawyer to answer because it depends on: who you are, your skin colour, how rich you are, your sex, whether it's a white collar crime or not, did you commit the crime on behalf of

Talking to members of the opposite sex only? How narrow-minded. Cyberpunk/sci-fi often explores futures where sex/gender is less of an issue (especially Ian. Banks' works). Clearly we're not there yet.

I don't think that that issue is inherent to women. I think it's inherent to everyone and we get affected on different levels in different contexts. Any man who's been told to "man up" (most) has experienced the sam

Given what I have seen in recent Hollywood "writing" I would not be surprised if when correctly prompted an LLM can outdo a lot of the disposable, predictable writing in modern shows. Every story boils down to the same predictable

Oh for sure, but I think generally multiple experts are selected in an MoE pass for a token, so presumably it'd select programming related ones as well as general knowledge/language. Only problem would be the routing layer works o

I still personally think that a heavy lean into MoE will be better for that sort of thing. Our brains are subdivided into large parts but I'm sure (and I'm not a brain scientist) that those parts can be subdivided even further int

Fast models is why I was hoping Taalas would get their butts into gear and eventually release a consumer priced card. I'd love to have a pcie card that screams along at 15k t/s even if on a heavily quantized 2026 level model forev

It's fine. Even re-reading what I'd said it does seem a little extreme, but I still believe the core idea of it. I'm just watching violent criminals in UK get early release while the hapless government and public cannot rub t

Yeah, I always thought the future of this stuff would be hot-pluggable MoE modules or LORAs that are able to be downloaded and applied/used at will like how skills have become a thing. Like, atm most architectures seem limited by a sin

Yep, as a Kiwi living in UK I actually went back to NZ to redo my visa about December 2019, then that was all sorted and I returned about late Jan-early Feb 2020. I had a stopover in Bangkok and _everyone_ was wearing masks. Not just Asian

It is nice to have a model that can "do it all", though. And surely that's still the end goal? Like how MoE is still somewhat popular in certain areas even after its heyday. I am wondering if models will end up being some sor

Hmmmm, this is a problem I have been facing recently. Basic embeddings give decent-ish results (in the top say 20 chunks). Basic agentic retrieval gives slightly better results so long as the agent part of it doesn't go down the wrong
