While deliberate model abuse can be quite satisfying at times. It's only normal, as usually they abused us first, with crazy assumptions, and then we return the favor and feed the tangent.

They could have tagged these projects with "AI" or "MixedAI", and they'd be removed from the default views. It should also make clear that such projects may have a dubious legal status. Though within businesses no one cares?

It's the first UI idea in many years that is surprisingly refreshing. It has all the signs of greatness.

Exactly, the whole ecosystem. Cheap robots with cheap models. AI is oil to let the machine work, it should be cheap and ubiquitous.

That's lesson number one for GP's. Second lesson is to pay attention to correctly catch the remaining 5%. You can get help to solve them later.

Choose your battles.

Why stop at them? Lawyers, politicians, psychologist, bookkeepers, the list goes on and on. Why? Because our GDP includes them. Look the numbers are higher. It doesn't matter if your work promotes a parasitic outcome. The system produces it's own problems and then diligently works to solve them... Yeah, right.

Time to replace a pelican with a drawing of an original electronic schematic. Let it choose components, vary power requirements, input voltage, the output signal.

Security, what security? Linux is a solution for 50 year old problem, not for today's desktop. Once upon a time where sharing binaries (or even distributing binaries) sounded like a good idea. The vice continues though.

The word is solar. Instant reduction in CO2 emissions, won't be a decade late, and won't be obsolete by the time it's finally ready. Nuclear is a politician's vanity project. And politicians do have a knack for choosing the wrong thing at the wrong time, by ignoring the market. Just let the engineers make the call.

Dang, very few people share what kind of work they are actually do with the model, and/or the language they code in. That would make all the difference.

Is there any reason the tech is optimal to 32x32? 48x48 might be interesting also. Maybe the decoder can directly render to 48x48 or 64x64, so the size remains the same, and no upscaling is needed?

when you are an open source developer you may feel everybody is rushing you by in their quest for the big pay off, while you are quietly and civilly building something the future will be built on.. it must feel like several coal rolling SUV's passing you by every day. they have no appreciation, and they see you as an obstacle.

so it seems Kelly isn't willing to cede the informational space and replies with his viewpoint, and is willing to take the flack, because everybody is trained to root for the ruthless billionaire mentality, and thinks like a truck. he also has the responsibility to show to his own team, who he is, and where he is leading them.

so i applaud him. he adds a perspective that needs to be said out loud. it's like the wise elder vs the lobbyists, or vs russian bots. money engages in reality distortional warfare all the time, and we are left in the dust, defending ourselves, as our lives are being depreciated. thanks, but no thanks for the coal rolling.

so in the long term view this is about society not siding with (a promise of) merit, but instead assholes have the right of way, socially. it's about being an orphan, while the assholes are the children. it's about society not loving all its children equally, structurally, so Kelley is left out in the cold and has to value himself.

he is moving sideways in society, and gets treated like a frog crossing the road. in a less beasty society he would be paid by tax payers money, because he is creating infrastructure the future can be built on. instead it goes to [... i'm not even going there]. he risks never getting paid, and will surely not be paid anywhere near the value he is adding.

why? because going after venture capital would corrupt the goals of the project. that has nothing to do with him making the "wrong decision". it is instead society's decision to bestow all rewards on those that didn't work for them.., and the self-reinforcement by which those that do reap the rewards, work so hard to keep them. they take the corruption of the system as their motivation, and work hard to keep it..

it's not you can't be rich, good for you, it's that society has no _interest_ in _you_ getting rich, and should be against you when you work to manipulate and fraud your way into wealth, _and_ the effort to make that behavior accepted practice. it is a class working to put itself above others, like kings have been doing throughout the centuries, the common people like Kelley be damned. it is anti-democracy cloaked in the clothes of democracy, it's coal-rolling democracy.

hence the stinky manager comment. stinky managers accept they are stinky. they have other things to worry about. so Kelley is just expressing his viewpoint and the words he uses must be read the way _he_ needs them to be read. that's where most stumble and fall. the point is they are never punished for doing so and instead practice mob mentality, punishing the good. society's self-cleaning mechanism is failing and you see that play out in the world right now, most notably in the USA.

the US of Assholes, a mob. that makes Kelley like a jew in nazi Germany. so it may be worth saying: get out while you can. you don't want to bet on being a friend of the mob, when.. they think they are the saints, and doing good for the country.

Kelley, look at the face of the mob in the oval office. if you see a shithole, consider you may want to choose against what the USA is about to become, Musk's backyard, which he has to politically subject, to protect his interests. come work for an asshole free One Africa, for the freedom to love, or become a footnote in the USA story, a sacrifice for its tech-inflated ego, which it will "lovingly" accept.

The ease by which you can get banned worries me.

It seems unavoidable that soon AI will manage its own suspicion level, provide feedback on it, and when high enough it will call the authorities.. because that's what people do. Banning doesn't cut it, like you can't deny internet access.

Soon this will spiral out of control and AI (Palantir) will have to run the response and the parallel AI state erects itself.

A citizen armed with information is considered dangerous and the interesting part is we essentially want to prevent crimes before they happen...

Brave new old world.

Right. You do it. So why can't we?

Exactly, so do away with the zoo of national keyboards, any language should be typable on the standard QWERTY keyboard.

About running models locally and why data centers win (for now): they can stream the model weights to many neural engines at the same time, so each of these only needs enough RAM to hold the KV cache. So each engine is cheaper to operate, plus they are time-shared, resulting in massive wins for data centers.

So one can see businesses owning their own such cluster, next to their database infra, in the near future.

What about performance? This should become the best performing WASM VM?

you're right to mention the Boomer generation: gerontocracy == boomers hanging on to power. as they've always done, I might add.

local gauge = direction == "up" ? count + 10 : count - 10

local gauge = count + (direction == "up" ? 10 : -10)

I imagine these changes make the original Lua adepts think their training wheels have come off. The language now looks like any other. That's a good thing to me, and it will help with the adoption of the JIT, but the whole language could have been syntax modernized as a result. But.. when the work is done someone else can fork it into something independent from its Lua roots.

From that perspective the conditional operator seems defensible, where it would be feature creep otherwise, as it is generally unloved elsewhere.

GateMate PC (google for it) and GateMate S/359

Don't use Google, it doesn't deliver. Duck duck go does.

That was dang if I'm not mistaken.

Why? Messages disappear after a few seconds. So all messages are self moderating!

That defines planet earth nicely. Everybody here is shadow banned and has issues to sort out.

CATL is working on 12000 Wh/kg air batteries, they will solve this problem, give them the prize.

I hate compilers too, just because in theory they are the simplest type of program: transform one file into another. How is not be reproducible? You need to make an effort! Yet the author of this post has trouble getting a reproducible build. To me it sums up the utter insanity our industry is engaged in.

The end of GitHub as we know it is near?

Why do open source collaboration? Why not a single product developer getting crowd paid to add features, solve bugs, using AI. So many businesses will see their moat wiped out.

On the macro level capitalism is winner-takes-all and Musk is the only one seriously playing the game. End game: own everything, including payments, and governments come begging and will protect him from citizen revolt. Supervillain/overlord territory.

Then where does the real stuff go? The arabs, indians?? Tea bags are the mass market in Europe for example. Hardly anyone uses tea leaves (are they different?).

I know an Iranian in the Netherlands who says the tea there is mostly coloring.

where is the graph and the theorem for integers of n bits, with n going to infinity?

C# is close to achieving that goal.
