More recently, there's a trend of devices or newer device-centric distros tending to ship Plasma by default (e.g. Steam Deck/SteamOS, Asahi Linux for Apple Silicon Macs, a bit earlier the PineBook).

Quite reminded of this episode: https://www.eurogamer.net/kingdom-come-deliverance-review (black representation in a video game about 15th century Bohemia; it was quite the controversy)

An LLM-style system designed to understand Wikipedia relevance and citation criteria and apply them might be a start. Not that Wikipedia is perfect and controversy-free, but it's certainly a more sophisticated approach than the current

My takeaway from all of this is that alignment tech is currently quite primitive and relies on very heavy-handed band-aids.

Most of the 7B models are bad at knowledge-type queries.

by sho_hn 3y ago
Why would you expect these smaller models to do well at knowledge base/Wikipedia replacement tasks? Small models are for reasoning tasks that are not overly dependent on world knowledge.

I'd say the Bus Pirate v5 is the more useful device for makers, unless you need the wireless.

I have some prior experience with mentoring beginners and juniors (I've done Google Summer of Code mentoring four times, participate in KDE's own mentor program, same at $dayjob, etc.). Of course not all students are created equal

by sho_hn 3y ago
Yeah, agreed - if you know what you want, and can write the reqs to coax it out of the model, it's a great typing accelerator.

I'm an experienced programmer currently mentoring an friend who wants to branch out into software development. We agreed the following experiment would be interesting to both of us: We're sharing a ChatGPT Plus subscription, and I

School-age bullying is considered a major crisis in South Korea. Looks like this study backs up the sentiment.

Are you using Gemini Advanced? (The paid tier.) The free one is indeed very bad.

Reminds me of an interview with a Korean pop music producer I watched 15 years ago. South Korea had a high % of broadband penetration earlier than many Western countries, and as a result physical CD sales crashed very hard, and very quickly

Just like it's far more likely for AI to replace middle-management and stream instructions to meat-bots than replace menial labor.

I have a very similar prompting style to yours and share this experience. I am an experienced programmer and usually have a fairly exact idea of what I want, so I write detailed requirements and use the models more as typing accelerators. G

Gemini is also the brand name for the end-user web and phone chatbot apps, think ChatGPT (app) vs. GPT-# (model). Gemini Advanced is the paid subscription service tier that at the moment gets you access to the Ultra model, similar to how a

No, what they showed is Pro 1.5. Only via API and on a waitlist. How this relates to the end-user chat service/price tiers is still unknown. The best scenario would be that they just move Gemini free and Advanced tiers to Pro 1.5 and U

by sho_hn 3y ago
It's a bit similar to how new OpenAI stuff is initially usually partner-only or waitlisted. Vertex AI is their developer API platform. I agree OpenAI is a bit better at launching for customers on ChatGPT alongside API.
981.
by sho_hn 3y ago
Agreed. Gemini Advanced seems to be the brand name for the higher price tier for the end-user frontend that gets you Ultra access, similar how ChatGPT Plus gets you ChatGPT 4. I get it, but it does beg the question whether you will need Adv
982.
by sho_hn 3y ago
Yes, my understanding is also there will be a 1.5 Ultra. It's however nowhere explicitly said that I could find. The Technical Report PDF also avoids even hinting at it. Advanced is a price/service tier for the end-user frontend.

I think it's the "iPhone +1 Mini is as fast as the old Standard" that confuses people here. This is obvious and expected but not how it's usually marketed I guess ...

I made the comparison because both companies demonstrated advanced/extended abilities (model size, image input) and shipped it delayed.
985.
by sho_hn 3y ago
OpenAI announced GPT-4 image input in mid-March 2023 and made it generally available on the API in November 2023. Google announced a fancy model two months early and released it in the promised timeframe. Seems par for the course.

When OpenAI launched GPT-4, API access was initially behind a waitlist. And they released multiple demo stills of LMM capacilities on launch day that for months were in a limited partner program before they became generally available only 7

It's not that difficult. Their LLM brand is now Gemini. Gemini comes in three different sizes, Nano/Pro/Ultra. They recently released 1.0 versions of each, most recently (a few months after Nano and Pro) Ultra. Today they are

When OpenAI raced through 3/3.5/4 it was "this team ships" and excitement. This cargo-cult hate train is getting tiresome. Half the comments on anything Google-related are like this now, and it doesn't add anything

I would love for my employer to support that config at work. We have quite lovely Linux dev laptops, but the battery life of the M1/M2 machines in the IT shop is definitely enticing, and Asahi Linux gets closer to MacOS in that regard

I've only tried the Quest 3, not the Quest Pro. I think the 3 even had a few deg more than the Quest Pro, iirc? It feels 10-15 over the AVP, from the gut.
