I don't think that's what working state means here. It's not a full snapshot or even necessarily multiplayer support. It means minimum functional, which to me is just barely enough to see the assets used in the game. Not nece

I think we know from using Athens of Ancient Greece as an example that true democracies of this kind are not a good idea at scale. Enough of the general public can be so easily swayed on a clearly catastrophic idea.

Not sure if you know this, but this is literally the Stop Killing Games movement. Despite the recent apparent setback as reported in the news, the organisers are in talks with EU MPs that are writing sweeping legislation to address this sor

You should not build a business-critical function to rely on a particular proprietary LLM stack period , especially with so many sensible competitors in place now. It's insane to me that this needs to be said. The SOTA frontier models

Papers submitted to arXiv under its most permissive license should always be free , as in beer, speech, freedom. For researchers that contribute to it, that is the intention for a reason. It is to serve public and corporate good without re

On the one hand, this is impressive. TabPFN was already state of the art and is seriously shaking up Bayesian prediction for tabular data (which is almost everything). On the other hand, perhaps it is just me, but I do not feel that this is

Agreed. I think the real value of Zluda to the community is going to lie on more niche applications. The ones that are more commercially interesting are likely to have other solutions developed for them.

No I do not, in the same way that I would not take into account the complexity of the Python interpreter for Python emulator projects or the compiler for C or Rust projects. I would also not take into account the complexity of Retroarch for

This is true, and is why I think Javascript is underrated for emulation. For example, this PSX emulator: https://github.com/kootstra-rene/enge-js It has decent compatibility and good speed. Furthermore, I challenge any

GPU innovation in the past led to the development of new artforms and allowed researchers to solve tougher computational tasks. Today, not so much. You're missing the "spread equally and used responsibly" part here. Nvidia&#x

Not really, western countries were doing a lot of that in the 20th century (amongst themselves, anyway). Then the 80s happened. Or what, do people think that the boomers were all that good, that they genuinely earned everything they got? Th

Because if spread equally and used responsibly, it raises quality of life for everyone. Generally speaking, the vast majority of people alive today have far easier lives than hunter-gatherers. There is less famine and starvation. There is l

...on a saturated benchmark that they already scored high on before. You only do that when you know you can't beat the competition handily. This is not a stronger model than Fable and Mythos, at least not in the domains that Mythos was

by hodgehog11 4mo ago
Yes, they only report the most saturated benchmark, which they were already very strong in before. It is very clear this model is nowhere near Fable, unfortunately.

The PDF reader for Gemini is extraordinarily poor in my experience. I like the writing style of this model a little better, but for most tasks people would use AI for, Gemini is probably not what you want to be using.

I've used them back to back as well. Codex is good at specific tasks; it doesn't try to go big, it does what it's told provided the task is relatively procedural. If Codex can make progress on a task, why would I give it to F

by hodgehog11 4mo ago
It very much depends on the task. What were you trying it on?

Hard disagree. Opus reports to me like a student. Fable reported to me like a colleague (researcher). It genuinely seemed to pick up on nuance that the other models just don't, even when I tell them explicitly. It's been really fr

Is there another mathematician (likely an analyst) out there that finds this debate even more absurd with the existence of geometric measure theory? GMT bypasses all of these algebraic constructions; it finds very similar objects (currents

You're being unfaithful to the original statement. The whole point of saying something is like a slot machine is that there are significant odds that you lose. If you ever have access to a casino slot machine that has a positive EV, th

by hodgehog11 4mo ago
A poor analogy depending on the setting because you can't adjust the odds with a slot machine, and the ROI is negative by design. If that's your experience, yeah, I wouldn't use an LLM either.

This is mostly true and a month ago I would have agreed wholeheartedly. However, there are still situations where almost every line of code has to be deliberately chosen in a delicate way. Think research code or settings which demand a high

It's been pretty cool (and a bit scary) to hear similar experiences from many other researchers and developers just how impressive Fable was for their particular workflow and the productivity it seemed to unlock. Personally, I have fou

Absolutely agree with this. As Louis Rossmann recently pointed out, it's the difference between a correct answer and a wrong answer; the correct answer is worth a good amount, while the wrong answer is worth nothing. Under this metric,

In terms of price-to-productivity, nothing will beat DeepSeek right now. For what you have described, all of the existing frontier models will perform well (probably about the same even). If you expanded the list to very hard research tasks

Historically speaking, the US might even be a larger risk to Australia than China is. The US alliance goes back a long way, and so does the opposition to US influence. Since the Whitlam government, MPs are generally fearful of US retaliatio

Yes, this would force the nature of licensing to change. It does not apply retroactively, so the legal processes would naturally need to shift. Such licenses were used in the past, so there is no reason they cannot be considered again.

What you're saying is literally what the lobby groups think SKG is trying to go for. It's not at all what they're asking for. You should maybe take a look at what they are actually proposing and some of the presentations by d

As is stated in the article, but is not clear just from the headline, this was not an unexpected outcome from the initiative. The Commission did not seek discussions with SKG, and spent virtually all of their time with the gaming industry l
