It's fine. Even re-reading what I'd said it does seem a little extreme, but I still believe the core idea of it. I'm just watching violent criminals in UK get early release while t…

Yeah, I always thought the future of this stuff would be hot-pluggable MoE modules or LORAs that are able to be downloaded and applied/used at will like how skills have become a th…

When I lived in Auckland (now in the UK) I used to go to gigs at Whammy bar in St. Kevins arcade, the dive bar part is awesome and I think they stop people doing it now but when I …

Yes, also because I imagine people generally followed the dog damned rules there.

Yep, as a Kiwi living in UK I actually went back to NZ to redo my visa about December 2019, then that was all sorted and I returned about late Jan-early Feb 2020. I had a stopover …

No, I'm saying it's only human to retroactively want to do extreme fantastical violence against people who have physically harmed you when you live in a society that a: does not ca…

I would also like someone to clarify this for me. I (think) I understand what people mean by a neurosymbolic model however common definitions are a bit funky. If it's neuro (llm/tr…

I'm curious about this too as I've been working with a 1300 page document on procedures for [industry]. Where every single section is primarily about [industry] with minor differen…

It is nice to have a model that can "do it all", though. And surely that's still the end goal? Like how MoE is still somewhat popular in certain areas even after its heyday. I am w…

By post-train I presume you mean a finetune? Unless that's wrong (please correct me if so). I haven't looked into model architecture people are working with for this stuff too deep…

Thank you for the link! Super interesting and I appreciate how it was written. It seems like a lot of the problems I have been running into with RAG on large/complex documents with…

Hmmmm, this is a problem I have been facing recently. Basic embeddings give decent-ish results (in the top say 20 chunks). Basic agentic retrieval gives slightly better results so …

I always agree with your statement when people discuss it from a purely theoretical philosophical/moral standpoint. But when it actually happens to you, as I have been violently mu…

Yeah it triggers for me when I'm on the tube, ahahahaa. But I would rather it do that than my phone still be unlocked after being mugged or scooter thieves'd'd. I've also ensured I…

Isn't that therefore a benchmark specifically on "it can generate an SVG of this exact thing" and naught else?

Because it's harder to fire managers. And even harder to fire executives. Who goes when companies need to downsize? Rarely executives; they'll always find a way to be retained...he…

What I find interesting, though, is how the "feature" isn't really exciting anymore, or because it creates SVGs that aren't "perfect" that we maybe feel underwhelmed sometimes (at …

I mean there is a difference between lower level evolved behaviours like seeking out food species or being tribal and higher level societal behaviours such as deciding that tribali…

Never seen Taalas? Let alone a decent sized model on a couple 4090s or similar, pretty gud t/s to churn out tts/stt/response/control model actions and emotes.

Nah weaboos and (us) furries been doing it for ages + not necessarily expensive at all, can use a webcam for basic ones for ages now.

Lmao, really? England has famously been judged for its industrial colonisation, even if it was still in an era where _everyone_ was colonising _everyone_. Interesting how Genghis K…

Nope, but damn bro chill tf out.

This is definitely something I've always thought about doing once I retire (if my generation gets to retire). Just seems like the ideal way to spend the last period of your life; q…

Why? Many modern watch parts are CNC machined, often the finishing is done by hand such as zaratsu polishing - but even that is a repetitive motion that can be mechanised. I would …
