It can’t. And it won’t. Yes. There are families on the fringe that tries to make it work. But it’s an exception. Not a norm.

> To be clear, we have not yet determined whether Claude Opus 4 has definitively passed the Capabilities Threshold that requires ASL-3 protections. Rather, due to continued improve…

I’m not convinced by Tyler’s take. If Claude’s Constitutional AI research is legit, what prevents China to pull a few strings through SAE and nudge the model to be more aligned wit…

This is totally a thing. I think it also strengthens the neural pathway so that when the next time you face the many options, the weight would be just slightly higher . (I am assum…

Don't be silly. :-). We have 350k and the training costs more like 5k. Like I said in the question. It's proven to be hugely helpful to our app. Our internal discussion is whether …

We trained a new CLIP model that outperforms the original CLIP from OpenAI(openai/clip-vit-large-patch14 on huggingface). Well, outperform is probably an understatement. It's more …

Yup. Totally agree with you on that. And yes this one is a constructive proposal. My problem is on the like part. Where shall we draw the line and how do we decide? To me this is a…

The problem with rants is it stings and it divides. When it comes to constructive criticism, I think Amber did a good job with her criticism but can do better at the constructive f…

I find it interesting that nobody has asked this question: what is your life situation? Do you have a family? House/mortgage? Health insurance? You mentioned that CoCalc hires some…

So beautiful.

Chris was the founder of fatbrain which went the ”traditional way”. So I guess he learned a few things there. What’s interesting about photo related business is that longevity real…

I keep telling myself: "embrace changes. an upgrade is great; new defaults are cool; performance improvements are great; just do it; just do it". Yeah. One day. PS. I do miss the d…
