The models in question have source and weights available. AFAIK not fully FOSS because the weights require registration to access.

This is a very tired insult/joke outsiders throw around about vtubing (though I don't get the impression that you had that intention). It's somewhat ridiculous, vtubers stream very often and voice changers tend to be pretty o

It isn't sustainable in the context of their desire to pivot to being a streaming service, along with their desire to blow resources on repeatedly redesigning the apps to make the UI slower and buggier.

Some VTubers treat it as a gateway into Japanese idol culture. So being part of an agency helps them with access to resources and opportunities for that sort of thing, e.g. voice acting gigs, appearances at events, planning concerts, record

You might prefer things to be that way, but it's important to remember that's an absurd expectation. Especially in the west with how frequently vtubers graduate and show up under a different name. Even hololive JP, who push the en

Yes, of course, that would be interesting info to have. I just mean that from what we have already we can reasonably infer that the LLM played a role in the result being obtained. If I am not mistaken, all of the flurry of novel results has

Aren't deep learning models themselves a case where we have hints of some deeper underlying logic to why some things are more effective than others, but we lack the mathematical tools to properly work it out for anything of practical s

Engineering and biomedicine, probably in the long term (if at all). But accelerated development of new mathematical methods has a possibility of proving to be relevant for fundamental physics research. Occasionally large improvements in our

The labs do tend to kind of anthropomorphise their models, as do us users, but admittedly part of the issue is that, for example, "thinking" is a decent layman description of the process even though it implies more human-like inte

While I agree that we need the inputs to properly evaluate what this means for LLM capabilities, I don't really believe that the amount of knowledge input matters much for the overall significance of the result. These kinds of results

I have played with CAD Sketcher, it's usable, but yes, not really good enough for serious use. Doesn't quite match up to FreeCAD after the significant improvements that has had over the past couple of years.

I really wish they'd go back to the blobs and stick to them.

I think what they're saying is that any morality related arguments during the free phase are irrelevant because their actions are not based in morality. Put differently, they aren't giving you something for free out of the goodnes

Don't these estimates assume launching from the surface, fully via rocket? On Earth, having air breathing stages to gradually build up speed, or using other launch mechanisms, isn't worthwhile because rockets are more cost effecti

>And as a separate matter, any tool for evaluating students should be applied fairly, safely, and with adequate human review and due process. Agreed, that's a fair and reasonable stance. The reason I asked is that I have a hard time

So, if the decision from Pangram determined, on every assignment, if you would be expelled from university for plagiarism, would that be acceptable to you regardless of how you actually did the work? If you would not be okay with that, what

I don't know if the Chinese text implies something different, but I think even in English it's pretty normal for people to claim they 'faked' their way through something without referring to fraud. E.g. "I faked my

Agreed. I think it's wild that such a position seems relatively common in the US (though at a surface level I understand that it's just a cultural difference). The only situation in which I would consider charging my kids 're

I'm surprised that UAF as an acronym is apparently unusual even among people familiar with use-after-free as a concept. I thought that was a pretty typical acronym in the context of software.

I like to use subagents a lot, but I find them to be most useful when explicitly specified. E.g. "assign these tasks to 2 Sonnet, 2 Opus and 1 Fable subagent". Helps keep allocation consumption under control.

Why would they interpret a system being used for the purpose it was designed for as terrorism? Using it for small purchases is one of the intended use cases, e.g. allowing street vendors to accept digital payments, incentivising them to hav

In America there's a very sharp geographical distinction between which people oppose the melting pot and which see it as a core part of the American experience. People from the big immigrant cities like NYC, SF, LA are more likely to h

I hate to make the worn out AI to RNG comparison, but this kind of simultaneous "collusion" is really like assuming that everyone is using the same RNG seed to make their calls.

The issue wasn't specifically allowing NSFW content, it was allowing anyone to get grok to openly make NSFW deepfakes of anyone without even an attempt at policing things.
