    But that's not what happened here. Here, you were trying to bring the pepper over, got inspected and somehow got rid of it because you were able to be found out.

    Just a few years back, wind turbine software was hacked. This is serious. Serious governments should (and hopefully will) scramble to use AI to discover and patch as many software …

    There's alignment (trained in the weights) and there are constraints (in the "server harness"). My take is that this model was not yet aligned and had no constraints

    From what I understand, whether you will struggle depends a lot on whether you eat well, sleep well, drink, smoke, and exercise. My dad played futsal until the end (~70 yo, car acc…

    That was DeepSeek OCR, not a DeepSeek lineage LLM. If the idea is introduced in LLMs, then you're right. But Gemini is not doing that, not yet. This is something I literally discus…

    I think the more you know of how (many) things work, the slightly better you'll be at using them. From dishwashers to CPUs, from car engines to watercolours, from guitars to kitche…

    To play the devil's advocate, though, you wouldn't drink espresso at 80 degrees, no? Provided the cup is warm to begin with, you could brew at 50 degrees and still have perfect tem…

    Not GP, but I think the point was that no extensions => no ad blockers => major malware vehicle unlockable, short of disabling JS

    Isn't this a consequence of Linear No-threshold, a model that most policy is based on, that says that the bad health consequences of radioactivity are linear wrt the amount of radi…

    The US is a single country. Russia is not on the US' doorstep. The US has its own oil. The US prints the world reserve currency.

    Apparently (heard from several sources, haven't tried myself), sticking with it for a few weeks causes your gut biome to adapt, then you gas anymore.

    Can you elaborate?

    In a scenario like this, where we can only know if the code has bugs, not if it doesn't, isn't survival analysis a more appropriate statistical technique? I.e. a technique where ti…

    Just thinking aloud. Could it be that the "stories" we consume (books, movies, TV, games) fill our heads (as in, focus our attention) with ideas that don't overlap much with family…

    Exponential decay isn't impossible to manage if the exponent is reasonable (i.e. closer to 1, i.e. if the average number of children per woman was closer to 2.1). It's just going d…

    The announcement of GPT 3, hands down. That's the day that my mind was blown. Everything after that has been (genuinely significant) incremental improvements. But that announcement…

    I don't see these QAT models on Edge Gallery; just the BF16 models are there. Is there anything I am missing?

    A recent episode of the MindScape podcast seems very relevant here: Andrew Guthrie Ferguson on How Your Data Will Be Used Against You https://open.spotify.com/episode/4FOwAWkB0Bu00…

    It seems that the cutoff date for all models is stuck at some point before AI generated content started being pervasive.

    It's just a metric. If it can find a needle in a 1Mtok haystack, then it's likely good at coding within a 200Ktok context (or whatever, insert your number here, I'm just trying to …

    Is my understanding right that the system is limited by the capability of teachers to solve their own problems? The TrueSkill of teachers doesn't seem to increase all that much, bu…

    You can have both of you provide an error code that your support team can look up in the logs to find the complete error message.

    Ahem did you know David wasn't always 100 years old, and that in the past he worked on the field?

    To be fair to the idea, though, while this would make individual instances less secure, it would drastically decrease the leverage for the work bad actors put in. There is a saying…
