consider the implications of a government where setting up an encrypted network is a serious offense, or where detecting encrypted communications is routine. the average voter doesn't matter. if they are willing to go that far it'

I don't think the thesis that a government will be able to do something will ultimately hold. I don't see how they can avoid "going dark" in a democracy. we live in a world where the government can't even do much ab

the difference is that with open models jailbreaking is trivial if you know what you are doing so this makes a frontier open model infinitely more useful for certain tasks seeing as closed frontier models will just refuse (and jailbreaking

I expect the end to be a custom client for an in-demand site such as facebook. when you visit it your custom browser (or code injected into google chrome) will pull all the actual content from the site page you are on and display it with it

this would be a very heavy watermark application. there are many simpler methods, for example you can have a tiny windowed transformer operating on the output text and all you do is alter certain words (that don't change meanings) to m

while at it you might as well argue for highly enriched fuel for compact SMRs. the politics of the threat of proliferation kills it in the crib.

there is actually more nuclear pollution thanks to their efforts. when you burn coal you liberate radioactives trapped in it.

there is precedent for this, you don't really feel your heart beating or hear your blood rushing most of the time. the brain learns which signals aren't important to you. tinnitus also happens to be a very predictable signal, so t

the only interesting thing about it is that the model did those things on its own initiative. it's surprisingly easy to prompt even a midrange model such as GLM 5.2 to begin a tedious reverse engineering and exploitation process of sof

you generally should use intermediaries (they buy API from the main provider and serve it to you) when dealing with a company like Meta, a company you want no direct relationship with. they have the spark 1.2 "contributor" which l

by teravor 2mo ago
the problem with unions is that they tend to enjoy legal protections not afforded to anyone else. as such they will distort the marketplace. as is often the case with such carve-outs those who can get in early tend to benefit at the expense

once you are able to get the full probability distributions per token you can distill it on specific domains. distilling without that isn't generally a good idea unless you have invested millions in the requisite infrastructure.

symmetric crypto typically wants the eat the cake and have it too, it wants to be both secure and efficient. to that end, a so-called "security margin" is guessed at and the number of rounds of the cipher is determined accordingly

a specialist model sufficiently post-trained can outperform a frontier model while being dirt cheap. what we did was distill GLM 5.2 into a 27B model on SQL and then post-train it with RL afterward. the result outperformed even Fable on tha

distilling K3 into DS4 flash will likely only be a good idea for specialists. the difference in model capacity is otherwise too large. we used to distill GLM 5.2 into Qwen 27B specialists with great success. developing the workflows is tric

it depends on what it is you are doing. if the complexity is low (frontend, GUI) you can just prompt it once and refine at the end. if the complexity is high but you know how the task is to be done then what you can do is divide the task in
