Idk which models you refer to, but I tested a bunch recently, and they performed well on Dutch. Only the smallest, such as qwen 3.6 27B, made up words and switched languages.

Yeah, Wikipedia has some unreliable articles, but "the most untrustworthy source ever"? Whatever country you live in, I'm sure it has its share of Fox News, The Sun, or Bild Zeitung.

Opinions... There are people with varied opinions on Nazi Germany. That doesn't mean squat. The USSR eradicated everyone with a deviating opinion about the regime. They perished in the dungeons of the KGB and in the Gulags. What remain

It isn't simply capitalism. What system could handle this with grace? The only solution is world-wide care, which can only be achieved through civilization, education. Using an old-fashioned word: Bildung ( https://en.wikiped

If you want my best guess: I think large context windows cannot be trained properly. There's not enough material, nor computing power, to train such large networks (to the same degree as small windows).

I think that question is too simple. 1. We might not be the only hosts or place where it can survive. Measles seems to have mutated from a cattle virus. 2. Killing the host might be the virus' end-game, in which case it evolved to exti

Or worse. It allows anyone to build really targeted data sets. Insurance companies would love such data, and many of those will use them without scruples.

Given all we know about the USSR, I don't think anyone needs to explain why. This plus your other comment suggest you're replying in bad faith.

Ok. So nobody answers the question, but does so in a very passive-aggressive way.

Not me, the state. That is significantly different. The reason is damaging someone's livelihood in the cases I mentioned. Or large scale economic damage in case you're copying money.

Last time someone uttered something similar, I didn't get an answer, so I'll ask it to you: what entitles you to free access to any song, movie or book?

You might have heard of other languages. They tend to import words but adapt spelling and pronunciation. Sometimes even meaning. Your own language has them too. I also bet you spell quite a few place names and countries according to traditi

I'm hardcore FF, and it used to be a bit slower than Chrome, but nowadays the difference is barely noticeable. And on very large pages (e.g. big tables), Chrome is a lot slower than FF.

I'll bite: why is it better? Did you try Safari or Firefox or Brave, and find deficiencies you can't live with?

I'm betting there are a lot of people here using Chrome as their "daily driver".

Or on purpose, because the CPUs with AVX are more expensive. Or historical: the hardware for this kind of service may have been old, and you can't tell people that if you buy today you get a processor with AVX, but tomorrow you may get

My main problem was that our hosting company offers cheap Linux servers, but with a shared CPU that even doesn't support v2. We pay more now, but you could still run into that problem.

It really did start in the time frame. Facebook opened in 2006. Twitter already existed and grew rapidly in that period. There were messengers. And because everything was slow, I suppose it could even take an hour to doom scroll Slashdot. M

One of Go's selling points is performance. Another is easy deployment on a lot of platforms. This post is interesting from that perspective. Edit: to address your literal remark: so even the title is correct, if you think of a programm

I'm in the no-AI camp, but for this case, I find it interesting, especially since there's little obfuscated C online, and LLMs cannot infer intention from the actual code. Did you spot any entries with LLM support? Also, the rever

I never thought AI would be the fork in the road to Idiocracy. Can you believe that the people whose evidence and testimony in court means so much, value The Great Hallucinator over hand work? They give a few nice sounding options for using

3 of those factors are nothing more than bits of paper. Everything hinges on separation of powers, and the one you omitted: a thoroughly established sense of democracy. If either of those fails, any report to the authorities is a threat.
