Just go to Perplexity or something like that, its well trodden ground. And essentially, what you're doing is discretizing the relevant differential equations and getting that to ru…

The entire model of sea-borne power projection has changed. What does it mean when hypersonic missiles can be fitted with optical sensors to autonomously target ships? It means car…

I am in denial.

I find for auto turn detection, models work better if you put in the system prompt "if it seems the user hasnt completed their thought yet, output silence". This hack works around …

Have there been significant improvements this year? The simple flow we landed on in 2024 was: 1. Chunk and embed docs with embedding model 2. Embed query (maybe using an LLM to ref…

I lived with a host family in Lima for 9 months on their roof. They treated me like a son. Extreme tourism.

I would try the Qwen models before LLaVa Do you need the embeddings to be private? Or just the photos?

The point is to colonize Gaza, they won't irradiate it first.

Netanyahu, when addressing the troops, even said "Do not forget what Amalek has done to you", invoking the memory of the biblical commandment to genocide the Amalekites.

Is this really that bad for Google? Do Perplexity and OpenAI use paid SERP API under the hood? Google doesn't have to make money from ads on search, if its paid search.

Ghislaine Maxwell, for instance, was a mod on /r/worldnews and one of the most prolific posters.

No, I (the child) am the dog that would die if it weren't fed in this situation. Sorry that was confusing.

Please say more

I'm curious what your viewpoint is here. Is human extinction a bad thing? And if not, do you care if it's your own descendants thriving, versus the descendants of an immigrant?

Electric cars are mainstream now. Reusable rockets are real. Twitter won an election and spawned XAI. Elon is the richest man in the world. Yeah bro, he's a moron. Sure.

If you had a robot doing all the computations of a LLM on pencil and paper instead of GPUs, would anyone think it was conscious?

I've never understood what the real reason we invaded was. I just know it wasn't what we said, or oil.

This makes me think the first to make a really successful model will be the ones to pony up to get human feedback at scale from the smartest humans instead of what they do now.

I think his point is that things very rarely experience purely compressive forces. Just being compressed induces tension in other directions, like water being squished out between …

What are the requirements to run this?

I made a trading bot that ingested news. The prompt to assess impact was to simulate a debate between Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet on whether to invest.

Its a time capsule, among other things. I want to take many, many videos of my grandpa's farm, and be able to walk around in it in VR using something like this in the future.
