Oh Boo Hoo. IT departments for Non Profits that aren't actually like OpenAI. Right.

Nope. I actually care enough to make this statement. Using such subscription products and then getting rug pulled isn't something easy for non technical users. So just start with sovereign, better governed products with clear transpare

I think MCP is jumping some sharks here. Nobody needs to have every functionality of HTTP offloaded to MCP at all, at this point. I'll stick to the bare minimum that works.

They don't seem to have a shortage of corporations across the world, really. They simply need to implement it. Today, most people can vibe code their own OSes and emulators within a day or two. You're telling me an entire country

One can *ACTUALLY* do things if they stop listening to lobbyists and prioritize locally developed products over lobbied products, just saying. Given the current US debt situation, Japan is in a position to dictate its local manufacturing te

I believe it. Cheating and Shortcuts are optimizations you get from Operational Usage. Recursive Self Improvement might actually come from enough cheating too, you never know!

So why do they really want to burn money on AGI if that thing isn't worth it? Meh.

In this case, the callout about increasing Merchant Fees is the right thing to do. This isn't great for payments at all. Reduce the friction, improve ease of business.

I think that this is a bit of a clickbaity title but the social aspects of verification are real. It's like 80% of the work after raising a PR is just socializing ideas and getting people to agree on stuff

I think that encrypted/homomorphic inference has overstated benefits and won't work as well for financial/ regulatory cases, where explainability is a bigger problem and AI has that accuracy issue.

I wish. :) I don't think it is; I do my own research time to time, and disaggregating reasoning from entities can actually be very helpful. See https://github.com/guilt/TinyToT which already builds a powerful reas

I really want nobody to waste cycles on my AI than me. This is useless because now I need to pay for wasted inference AND encryption cycles on top of wire encryption.

Anthropic is jumping a shark for sure. I think they're trying everything to grab headlines, instead of making their model cheaper, better to use.

Do ping the Wine folks to make it run; Chances are you'd need almost very few changes to get it to run. Delphi runtime is quite portable.

It's easy to build one yourself. Just don't buy from vendors if you can't run your own software. It's that simple. I've run two NAS appliances for 15+ years now, and never had to worry about any of this, because I j

Eventually, multi-modality might even get offloaded as workflows, which might allow models to do this at a fraction of the data and compute required. I am adding multi-modality to https://github.com/guilt/TinyToT , and

Sure. Like throwing money at problems is novel. Why don't you go and actually build something novel? People need to understand better how current models work, and if retrieval indeed solves 99% of the problems people care about, then

You would already be able to see RSI and loops being a thing. So there's going to be more and more research coming out telling you what size of models are really needed to solve a specific task. When you combine that with RSI, the next

Very true. In fact, there's a lot more under the surface that will come to light once more efficient tiny models come out. P.S. Building something that proves that you don't need those many params even. https://github.c
