    I feel that. I thought I am the only one who has this issue, with Claude always adding this superfluous BS. I feel totally backwards when realizing I am trying to teach this model …

    It is almost certainly AI-written. Very odd writing style, also the repo README is Claude-generated.

    Also tokens/sec are not only dependent on parameter size, so that is kind of a brittle theory.

    Then all this 3x amount would have had no ROI, China would have outdid the US comparatively.

    I mean, I validate them by opening my window and seeing what the floor is. For me around 430ish usually - inline with what's in the atmosphere globally.

    Additionally, I'd imagine quantization to have more side-effects than just slightly lower performance (on whatever task). You are basically removing information, and that informati…

    Dumb question here - how can I manage effectively edges across the whole world without the huge maintenance overhead? Which tools would be recommended for that? I e.g. have a VPS a…

    Or for 100$, get a 5x increase on all failure points - maximum vibes, maximum excitement.

    This does not play a role - even if you lock your bootloader Play Integrity Checks still fails, and that means you can't use certain apps, MDM and overall restricts your usage. Tha…

    Social Media is actually one problem, and that's not just cellphones. I don't disagree with the premise that this could be all a smokescreen by the UK spying on citizens but Social…

    I wonder, how well does Yak-Shaving work for you with AI, how does it look for you specifically and how do you make sure it's not undermining the friction for learning things prope…

    That's wild misinformation. There was an outdated military database at play, and not just Claude . It doesn't exclude AI interference of course but your statement is just not corre…

    Let's abstract this further: It's about the user's existing power and intentions, meaning if I am already in a position of power, AI will multiply it to levels way beyond a peasant…

    Then check V-Dem, you might argue they're flawed as well but then I'd suggest you to provide counterexamples for why the US should be considered a functioning democracy, and is not…

    The CCP knows, whatever the heck this technology will bring with itself, the current power dynamic inside of the country is on their side, and AI will solidify it. I hypothesize th…
