Actually I didn't say anything about overcomplexity and I wasn't thinking about systemd as an init system at all. That wild misinterpretation, which you knew to (partially) hedge with that "usually", is more or less the

It would make sense, but minutes later? Did the IRGC brass break out the infamous FTL dirtbikes?

I think the problem is that it's overdeveloped rather than underdeveloped.

> Kimi K3 is ≈ 1.5 TB and requires multi million dollar hardware to run. Not that it defeats your point, but an 8x MI355X node is $350k-400k. The only reason you're paying that much is for the VRAM, too. You could run it with much l

It's going to make shareholder's lives better. And you better believe we're replacing conductors with lowest-bidder slop, that's the whole point. That's shareholder capitalism's playbook, it hasn't changed

I'm interpreting this as justification for sysadmins making a comeback, which I would absolutely love. We lost so much as a society when they were taken behind the shed.

Moral relativism is about handling the disparity of moral frameworks in the world, which you acknowledge exists at several points. The inverse of moral relativism is moral absolutism, which is that there exists precisely one set of moral fa

It's certainly encouraged a lot of the efficiency innovations that have come out of Chinese labs. The fact you can run a Kimi K3 on a single node is batshit insane.

The mainstream consensus on PRC silicon has been "the gap exists, but is closing" for a long time[1][2]. I think you might be confusing the algorithmically-cast shadows on the cave wall that you're sat in front of for a reaso

A major difference is they weren't being sold as "assistants" back then. Now they're a product expected to act a certain way. While some LLMisms probably come from shared poison in the pretraining corpus, many of them al

Find a way to get ring 0 without touching any system APIs and you can just make your own APIs. My programs shall never say "please."

No, that would be a fundamental misunderstanding of the bitter lesson, which is about research bets over time. The object of comparison is the technology, the underlying substrate and fundamental architecture, and how much of it can be offl

Harnesses are the control surface the model interacts with. How it invokes tools, the tools it has access to, how agents are coordinated. It's like an interface or a shell. It's the magic that lets an LLM operate a computer. You c

This tracks with my experience. A core and integral part to make models actually shine involves post training and custom harness engineering, all specifically done for the purpose of getting them to settle into competent inputs and outputs

I can appreciate your original point, but this degenerated into naivete. The is-ought problem exists in (and was formulated for) natural language, and ambiguous formal languages are childsplay. There are further problems (ignorance of the c

Mass demonstrations are common and frequent, more than ever. The thing is that these are mild pressures at best. What came from Occupy Wallstreet? The George Floyd protests? The No Kings marches? Anti-ICE demonstrations? They're not no

Do we live in different worlds? I can't think of a single meaningful way my comfort has increased in the past 25 years. In fact, with the rise of the homeless and mental health crises, the encroachment of more and more people who have

I think you have it in reverse, it's pure soul but very little game. It's just like Noctis IV, an interactive piece of art. This one has more pretense to looking like a game with its crafting system and survival mechanics that you

I think it's less obtuse to make the point that there are social-prejudicial structures encoded in the latent space. "associative pattern seeking logics" is a bit incoherent, and distributional semantics doesn't live at

Even that doesn't cover it. Vaishnavism, though the most popular branch, is only one Hindu denomination. Shaktism and Shaivism don't give Vishnu the preeminant status he's given in Vaishnavism. "Hinduism" at this po

Yeah I dislike it. Why are we babyducking sepples attributes? And what I assume to be namespace accessors? Why are logical assertions enclosed in backticks? I "get it", because it's actually kind of difficult to make a backwa

I understand what you're saying and I agree, ostensibly, but on the caveat that it's hinged on the "we don't know what we don't know" aspect of reality. If we restrict our domain to what's forseeable, it&#

I think you're right on that point of contention, it's too far to assert a universal and clear good/bad dynamic here because that line between developer/user is contextual and fuzzy. Another interesting irony I'll n

You're a bit late on that, monitors without all the same features are going the way of the dodo. Smart features are even starting to crop up in the commercial display market. Your last vestige will be buying a panel without a controlle
