We do agree that this is a vibes discussion, but disagree on whether that makes it a pointless discussion to have. To give you a practical example, small, self-hostable models are very popular on HN. But my personal experience with them has

Doesn't just sound like it, it is. That's life for you. That's what I'm pointing out to you. [0] Just consider your own example. Do you think a less or more "rebellious look" is not something designers can actu

That's what they're always going to be, so not sure what would be "insane" about it. They literally feed on and emit natural language, and are put to work on informally defined, arbitrary tasks. When people figure out an

I often wonder if the alarmism / marketing ploy accusations are fake / astroturfed. Not even necessarily in the organized sense, just people wanting cool toys, realizing they need to posture like such if they want to get them, and

I guess in a cynical way it very well might, as it fits the bureaucratic and political mold perfectly. Businesses would be able to rubber stamp a "Verification of Correctness", and the government could parade this political achiev

It reads like not much has changed, and given what the two underlying issues are, that's not surprising. I've been considering getting into formal verification, but the learning curve and the illusions of rigor angle are keeping m

It's a good weekend project, just gotta be careful not to fall for motivated reasoning and not to overreach. A heavy prior suspicion of conspiracy doesn't help. A sibling comment mentioned a few details already, but there's a

Seeing the reception on the first one, maybe "removing stories that have negative connotation on AI" is not the most honest description of what happened there. It reminds me to how various political movements will complain about

Would have been nice if they had an actual corpus of male vs female authored prompts, rather than just a simulated one made from a general corpus. For example, in prompts, I (male) heavily use language features that they attribute to women:

So translated to human, does this basically mean then that semaglutide distorts dementia-predictions by altering the related biomarkers, rather than actually help with dementia?

Never heard of it before, that's fucking insane. Apparently they baked the Llama 3.1 8B model weights [0] into silicon (the actual hardware is called Taalas HC1). I guess for the trillion parameter models this would not scale due to co

They ship with their own sandboxing by default, and Codex specifically is open source.

This reminds me why RFC 2119 includes the description it has regarding SHOULD. Like this is a great practical takeaway, sure, but eh.

I feel there's a collision course between people who consider these anthropomorphization, and people who simply think about these terms in a post-humanist sense.

Climate destroying? How do they destroy the climate by hosting a few gigabyte model on their computer? It's the whole point with these. Uses hardware they already own, uses energy they very possibly produce for themselves. Or is this j

This is only relevant if we assume CPU rendering. The article described system RAM use, not video RAM use. Task Manager doesn't combine the two. They clearly spent it on maintaining their independent Chromium instance instead.

I am aware that there are outlets like that, and I'm not denying their existence. I don't go around saying the entire or even the majority of the US media landscape is like that though, not the least because it's not true.
