There's probably a correlation between how serious the work someone is doing is and how likely they are to want to disable training usage. An opt-out might end up specifically jett…

A decentralized inference network would be cool. Something that's set up so that I can run a model for personal use on beefy hardware, but also farm out the unused GPU time to the …

There's probably some selection bias in that stat, too. Based purely on vibes, I wouldn't be surprised if startups pitching to a16z are using open Chinese models slightly more ofte…

That doesn't really even diminish the contribution from Fable, if true. Droves of grad students have been provided the same sorts of non-trivial insights and turned up no results.

The overhead of designing the actual phone and then setting up manufacturing processes and supply chains is pretty big. You definitely need to sell a lot to break even on that, esp…

Seeing as payment processing is already a highly regulated industry, I hope that the anti-trust issue is simply ignored, as a consumer. I don't really want to maintain six differen…

Complete freedom actually would mean that you can do whatever you want anywhere. You're really just arguing that complete freedom is bad (and that's a very agreeable point), but th…

It's Void with GUIs around runit and xbps. The problem being attempted is that Void is not very accessible to users new to Linux. This is pretty clear from the website.

> I can see why that might feel like an existential attack on Zig even if starts with a bit about how great Zig is. The original post explicitly praised Zig, and seemed to be argui…

I would be careful granting that s is less than g. There are lots of incentives other than scalping for people to create extra illegitimate accounts on Steam, and one individual ca…

Anthropic has alleged that this model is much more dangerous than other currently available models. Their CEO has said so publicly multiple times. It's like asking why cesium isn't…

The entity you're implicitly proposing should take the money doesn't have a good track record of spending it wisely. I'd much rather let the startup founders keep their money and b…

Is the "meddling" just running campaign ads? I don't really see how an election where voters' brains were hijacked by tiktok ads funded by foreign governments is less legitimate th…

If the commit was prompted by a core developer, the developer knows what the prompt was. If it was prompted by a stranger, the core developer reviewing it does not know what the pr…

I don't see what the core complaint is then. The guy the public voted for can refuse to spend public funding on a particular grant. There's no reason that it's somehow more pure to…

> I'm not gonna read something somebody didn't put in the effort to write on their own Then don't. Nobody asked you to. Why do you people feel the need to angrily announce every ti…

You're giving a lot of credit to the human alternative, especially considering that the attacker only needs to find one lazy human.

It's useful progress. Decent-fidelity local-scale inference means that you can create a product that generates throwaway images frequently without worrying about cost. Thus far eve…

If you think you're owed a salary to do something that a simple machine can do, I have a field for you to plow by hand.

Bugs exist in human code too. The AI derangement crowd pounces on any small bug as evidence that AI is a trebuchet, and thinks that if only we didn't use AI there would never be an…

Why do we need any tools at all? Software worked perfectly fine when people were editing code with `ed`, so I'm going to go open timewasting issues complaining about FOSS devs usin…

"Science" can do as much science as it wants on its own dime then. Public funding should be guided by public oversight, not career bureaucrats.

My understanding of caching with most models/providers is that a prefix substring of the context has to be reused for a cache hit, but not necessarily the whole entire context wind…

> It’s like if I go to Golden Gate Park and pick one flower, I shouldn’t do that, but no one cares. But if I build a machine to automatically cut every flower in the park because I…

It's really not uncommon for me to speak to someone who actively doesn't want any sort of adblock on their computer. I would say maybe 5% of people, anecdotally, just don't want it…
