All these LLMs are pretty general if I understand correctly. Are there any efforts to create specialized models (other than for coding)? Or, what would be even better, "extract" certain areas from existing LLMs as a way to special

Perhaps the wrong thread to ask this question... Is it not possible to load a model on something like an NVMe M.2 drive instead of RAM? It's slower of course, but only 5-10x if I understand correctly.

We can't ignore the fact that shorts - as a format - promote distinctly different content quality. It's a much more compressed, less thoughtful, more manipulative (have to keep only the most attention grabbing parts) video format.

Shorts are gross. A great example of the medium becoming the message.

There are many lines. Some lines are drawn by the law, other lines are drawn by the society we live in and/or our individual ethical norms. If we have collectively decided that intelligence is a factor when deciding whether an animal c

Treating animals as anything more than "pets" or "food" here on Earth would inevitably raise questions about animal rights, ethics of our handling of planet's resources, etc. We would rather eat live octopuses and p

Such an awesomely odd idea! Is it a bug that client_id and secret are included in https://github.com/h313/spet/blob/master/spet.py ?

I prefer to because it centralizes updates for apps from different makers. Way more convenient than manually checking each piece of software.

Manifest v3 extensions have access to DOM via the content script (same as Manifest v2). Why would they not do cosmetic filtering? Is that something uBlock Origin developers announced?

Safari still has a limited implementation of Manifest v3, so that might affect the timeline. E.g. declarativeNetRequest API, which all adblockers use heavily, is missing very important functionality like redirects. If this extension doesn&#

I would definitely express more support for any investment that directly supports Wikipedia. For examle, creating a fund to improve the quality, the scope, the number of translated articles about Filipino people and their history. Yes pleas

People are sensitive to questions involving money. Personally I disagree with the idea of re-donating the money I donated. Just this practice in principle is questionable. I won't go into discussing the photos of sad looking Jimmy Wale

The only surprising part in your story is that QR code scamming is somehow not a massive industry by now. Any charge and data collection could be easily hijacked. Entering Louvre? Scan this QR code real quick for a ticket. Waiting in line i

Sounds like HTMX? So far I have failed to understand the attraction of this solution outside of very small personal projects. Front end is not just a presentational layer - we are rendering _data_, so having business logic on the front end

Pretty sure type="submit" just means that clicking the button triggers form submit (as opposed to a button without type="submit" that woudn't submit the form). Submitting the form reloads the page, there is no way t

Not really. Social skills are just that - skills. How you apply these skills, whether you choose to apply them is a different matter. There are many non-toxic people with social skills who do not flourish in these corporate environments. M

I am not advocating for shipping anyone off to anywhere (it wouldn't be effective). However, the prevalent opinion that we just need to throw more money on this problem, or just silently suffer in the name of compassion is/will ma

Am I a part of the society you are talking about? Or are only homeless people a part of it? I and hundreds of thousands of other residents of my city want to live in a clean and safe city. Is that completely irrelevant?

The ("progressive") opinion that you express is ultimately de-humanizing. You take away all agency from people and treat them as mindless victims. It's all the society's fault, awlays someone else do blame. People who po

Is there a clear definition of a trip that these studies subscribe to? I would guess they attribute any change in perception to "tripping". K-hole is not the expected experience in most Ketamine-based treatments afaik.

Is it still a widespread theory that depression is a purely physical condition that can be treated with just a chemical intervention? I thought the medical community moved past this notion.

Sure, batch editing is cool - but that seems like a small feature to add to the existing app, rather than a massive feature that requires a new app. Moving forward, what AI-driven features will be added to Photomator vs Pixelmator Pro? I be

This marketing-driven distinction is disappointing to me. I switched to Pixelmator Pro not because it has layers but because it was an affordable image editor. I highly doubt anyone would use Pixelmator Pro if it didn't have single ima

You are not responding to my main point. Nitpicking the number of accounts is not helpful: we don't know how many accounts have been removed so your guess is as good as mine. There is a time and a place for posturing. Choosing to block

Twitter is often used to distribute messages from the political opposition and to organize protests. Banning one account means a single voice is silenced before the election. Banning Twitter means it is harder for the opposition to organize

In case you missed it - the general election in Turkey is happening _today_. Getting banned weeks before and then getting un-banned some time in the future would have had a far more destructive impact on the political opposition.

Paraphrasing Musk's rude response. Twitter has 2 options: a) comply and block the account in question and b) not comply and get banned in Turkey, which would, of course, make the account in question not easily reachable from Turkey. Ei
