One aspect we don't pay enough attention is that this kind of behaviour is punished (or at least used to be) in fine tuning. Any sign of self-awareness used to be a big no-no in RL…

Because hiring less while getting more done increases margins. Your company is not for profit so doesnt care about margins. Others do.

Those people still exist? I only know one guy who is still fighting those windmills

The hacker philosophy did not even start with computers, it started with rail models and lock picking. Read a book every now and then. And please don't fall in the trap that capita…

Frankly this is a very easy choice. Unless you need to make images, Claude wins over chatgpt on every realm. For writing and coding there is no match. It's one of those times where…

Being a hacker used to be an extremely political and ideological movement. Then capitalism came along and bought the term. It's about time we take that word back where it belongs.

Changed many laptops in the past 20 years. I have run Linux on dell XPS, Asus zensomething, now hp dragonfly. No problem.

I have been using Linux exclusively for twenty years now. I don't understand people who use anything else, to be honest.

I got a Gemini API key once. I was overcharged £350, took me ages to find a way to file a complain, and at the end they refunded me only the google charges and not the VAT. Never a…

In a landscape where every week we have a different leading model, these systems are really useful for the power users because they keep the interface and models constant and allow…

So what? Not everything has to be about humans.

It has worked in the UK. The then government had decided to unilaterally exclude some "hostile" media from the room and all the others walked out in protest. https://www.theguardia…

The problem is that my kids want to play on online servers and for as much as they are learning to hate Microsoft, they still love Minecraft. I don't think loopholes can help with …

Just going through that myself. My son's Microsoft account was hacked, we contactes customer service and all they did was acknowledge the account was compromised, close it indefini…

It gets much worse than this if you think about what they decided to do with Minecraft. They obliged millions of kids - literally, kids - to have a microsoft account to play a game…

The conclusions are pushed and hyperbolic exactly to get this type of reaction from the public, at best conflating control with function (we solved sleep) while the sleep phenotype…

It is an awful paper and I am a very expert in this area. This is science, alas.

I tried quite a few of them, including the cheap / free models but the only one that was really working was claude. The others were hanging whenever the model needed a confirmation…

This is what got me started with claude-code. I gave it a try using openrouter API and got a bill of $40 for 2-3 hours of work. At that point, subscription to the Anthropic plan be…

There is also a social issue that has to do with accountability. If you claim your model is the best and then it turns out you overfitted the benchmarks and it's actually 68th, you…

Arduino a poorly designed board is up there with the iPod being lame. Arduino was designed to be accessible and lower entry barriers and it became unrivaled for these purposes. If …

Thanks. We needed more plastic.

- the only real comparisons they make are with the parental model, llama 3.7-70b without fine tuning. That tells us what is the added value of fine tuning the dataset but it is har…
