Easy advice to give as a bystander lacking context (2013!), hard to follow as a "martyr" living in that context. It wasn't even clear whether he'd be a martyr (he could have easily turned the politics around, wouldn&#x27

Totally normal for modern models due to training on the same datasets supplied by third parties, dataset contamination, and mode collapse, especially for simple prompts that don't have enough semantic capacity. -isms are often very sim

What's insulting about overprocessed photos? You can clearly see that the arbitrary part of the face of the girl in front is literally blurred, which happens neither to the other parts of her face nor to the photo taken with 17 Pro whe

Internet blocking is a last resort for regimes that can't do anything against the source of the information or intermediaries, but it's a red herring in regimes that can. Anna's Archive has a political position and is one of

Starcraft is APM-dependent. Unless the latency will improve greatly in frontier reasoning LLMs (which is unlikely), it will remain a bit like knitting with an excavator.

It's just another reincarnation of Count Grey, also known as Elara Voss, also known as mode collapse.

It's a quick proof of concept of computer use powered by Jev, a new general-purpose classifier model. Here it takes the description of the interface (it can't do images yet) and outputs commands. It's faster and many times ch

Well nothing about the Doom demo or this entire model is new new either, is it? I don't even think Typesafe themselves are claiming anything novel, they say that they're focusing on practicality instead of chasing big numbers an

It needs to be updated. Modern evil planners don't even need a wrench since they already have most keys given to them in advance by everyone, including nerds

They say it's "parallelized". Whatever that means in reality, their demos are pretty good, their prices are extremely low compared to alternatives, and it responds in ~100ms which is pretty fast for what they do. Whether it h

You can. It will be expensive, slow, and less reliable than a specialized model.

It's a specialized classifier model. It classifies input text into categories with a confidence score. Usually those classifiers are small like in the OP but jev is supposedly big, smart, and fast enough to play DOOM by having the scen

It's a non-instruction-tuned classifier model trained on a confidence-aware RL variety that generates its own schema and follows it, with a confidence score output. Think BERT on crack, smart enough to be used as a decision maker (conc

Thanks, I thought it was almost boiling.

Yeah but what stops it from producing confidently incorrect outputs...

>The space race was to get to the moon. That's either revisionist or ignorant (likely the latter, looking at cheap memes). The term was coined by American journos in the early 50's, and the actual events started in 1955, very

No, and neither does Star Trek.

Well, you just said real-time weight modifications without specifying what you want, so the answer is correct. You obviously won't get a public answer from anyone working in top labs. Besides, it's not a holy grail.

Most people don't even know what a browser is. There's a pretty big difference between a reference/fallback/default client and an official one, IMO.

If it's not dangerous it's also not useful, simple as that. For example if you train a model for cybersecurity, it can be used for both attack and defense. And almost every use is like that. Alignment is fundamentally flawed as a

Durable execution looks a bit like a buzzword in general. If your state is defined in the execution graph then it's just an umbrella term for a group of pre-existing algorithms and patterns. If it's undefined then what are you res

Most people I know use a VPN to avoid censorship by several governments and non-governmental organizations targeting them at once.

This word has lost any meaning, if anything the current anti-tech wave is far closer to Amish views (subjective vetoing of new tech to avoid centralization and preserve the way of life) than to historical Luddism.

Yeah. I might be wrong but I think they only served direct links for a relatively short time in their history, early on in the 90's and in recent years with ping, which they used to track clicks anyway. At least half of their history t
