Real question: why use grok over literally any other LLM? I’ve never heard of them being SOTA.

It’s not hard to use main, and it’s a requirement for multiprocessing.

The real fun is when you have multiple processes also spawning threads.

Cory is a nominal figurehead who isn’t in charge of anything. Many EFF staffers have been unhappy with the direction for a long time. Cindy’s leadership is wildly out of touch with the state of the world. Privacy Badger is at best an also-

EFF has been nowhere on these issues for the past two decades, and it is disingenuous to pretend they oppose it. EFF have done good work vis-a-vis government surveillance, but EFF has always been a libertarian project to promote and protect

Putting aside the absurdist notion of “AGI” to start with, we live in a world of finite resources and we’ve used up our carbon budget and are burning down the planet to run LLM right now. The new “reasoning” models get very marginal improve

Targeted ads use a lot of behavioral models. Google sells ads.

Easy to claim, harder to justify once you start charging money for your subsequent creation. Unless all LLM are a ruthless parody of human intelligence, which they may be, the legal issues will continue.

There was one case where the HHS levied a fine on somebody leaving a stack of boxes on the street. If they are under lock and key it isn’t an issue. And yes, I think the lawyer does know more than you.

This almost definitely falls under Business Associate in hipaa and is totally fine. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance...

Being able to master the theoretical, practical, and skill-based components of designing a good database schema is the absolute truest test of understanding any systems design. People skip ahead to all kinds of nonsense; but most of softwar

The people who mod retro machines into more “modern” formats are pretty wild on the hardware side as well. This nut job decided to make a portable PS4: https://youtu.be/bJSLscnFd_M

A hedge that didn’t pay off despite the Mozilla CEO doing their part at trial and then promptly retiring on a huge pile of GOOG bucks.

You really, really live in a privileged socioeconomic bubble if you think every social circle has the money OR expertise to self host. Poor and uneducated people exist.

But it’s not diverse enough group of humans to be interesting. I don’t want to hear Linux takes all day. That’s due to barriers to entry and lack of critical mass.

A choice many companies have made. Apple is in China to make money, which is what a corporation is set up to do. My point is them claiming the moral high ground of a human rights defender is utterly laughable bullshit.

But then you need to research the severs, shop around, and a bunch of other shit people don’t have time for. A bad user experience is just that: bad.

I found it a lot easier to set up my BlueSky instance than Mastodon. Mastodon to me feels like it was built with the explicit goal to keep out anybody non-technical, and for technical people, only the type that wants to corner you at a pa

I think it’s very relevant as we have yet another old man in mental decline taking over, we should be talking a lot more about the real risks the gerontocracy poses.

A) Google refused to censor in the mainland and that’s why they got blocked, B) Google employees had a walkout when they tried to go back to China. C) I’ve never seen an Apple employee protest anything . Now, that happened under a differe

It’s very fair, Apple has historically been very happy to be the sponsor of horrible human rights violations in their supply chain, only marginally paying attention to suicides in their factories when the PR got too bad. Apples version of

I’m deeply familiar with all of these techniques, the core issue here is informed consent which they have not obtained. Furthermore, Apples privacy stance is generally a sham as their definition of “human rights” doesn’t extend to China. Wh

I applaud you doing the math! Proves you aren’t an LLM :-D

I agree to an extent, I think the term lost the original meaning. My main complaint with the state of politics is too little thoughts and reflection. I think cable news, talk radio, and social media are the root cause. Reading a daily newsp

Hm, m$ also runs a few giant adtech platforms, maybe they can just inject tracking code at the source.

I literally have DistilBERT models that can do this exact task in ~14ms on an NVIDIA A6000. I don’t know the precise performance per watt, but it’s really fucking low. I use LLM to help with training data as they are great at zero shot, bu
