I don't think it isn't unsurprising :)

Yes, and! It's the combo/bundling/distribution of these things that makes this powerful.

People are really misunderstanding Skills, in my opinion. It's not really about the .md file. It's about the bundling of code and instructions. Skills assume a code execution environment.

We have to find a way to punish Google if they move forward with this. We need the Gemini folks to be worried that this distraction will jeopardize their competitiveness in AI.

EverQuest taught me so many life skills, no joke. Was on the Morell-Thule server as a teen.

It's not either/or. Generally you finetune when optimized many-shot still doesn't hit your desired quality bar. And it turns out with RL, things like system prompts matter a lot, so searching over prompts is a good idea even when reinforcing the desirable circuits.

I just read that document and, I'm sorry but there's no way it's written in good faith. You support open weights, as long as they pass impossible tests that no open weights models could pass. I hope you are unsuccessful in stopping open weights from proliferating.

Seat belts may seem useless too if you've never been in an accident.

If you read this article and it gave you pleasure, examine those feelings. I find the generally schadenfreudic reaction to be disgusting. These people just wanted to get together to talk about something they enjoy and you don't.

I think this game is one of the best pieces of storytelling ever created, and it's so weird and arthouse that I can hardly believe there's an audience for it.

Whenever I think of Quora, I think of their giant party in SF around a decade ago, which stands out in my mind as the height of that era of tech.

Meanwhile, the other rumor is that Nvidia stopped production on RTX 40 series in order to shift all manufacturing towards ML chips like H100. Seems like they're both in an all-out sprint to produce as many H100 and MI300X as possible. Which makes total sense to me.

No, do not do this. Use Matrix, or...anything else really. I tried building on top of IRC a decade ago and it was a more forgivable mistake back then, but a mistake nonetheless.

I would also check out their 3B model. I tested it on launch with LoRA fine-tuning and found it to be surprisingly capable despite its size. I think a lot of people are skipping past testing it because it only has 3B params.

Horizon: Call of the Mountain is a recent example of a UX interaction that I really like with eye tracking + a peripheral. It uses a button press, so it's an intentional action, but the eye gaze determines which action to take.

Ooh, blast from the past. I wrote some Erlang code to crawl this stuff back in college. Just found it, wow: https://code.google.com/archive/p/erlysocial/

I think in the world of ML, contributing that much compute should count as co-creation. There is a lot of code published by academia that just needs compute and data, but they don't receive it. Stability deserves credit for Doing the Thing. IP rights are another thing but that's a whole subtree of legal questions that society is barreling towards.

Look to the cookie fatigue fiasco for how that might turn out. This simple idea is not always the right one.

I learned most of what I know about Linux trying over years to set up and maintain a MythBuntu box

This feels like bullying. This person is free to work on whatever they want with their life.

I think you're forgetting 2008 and "RIP Good Times"

Widgets are back!

I've had good luck with microk8s on similar hosting providers.

No, there are numerous accounts online of people losing all their purchases because of violating their terms of service or whatever. Having purchased content won't help.

Here's one from a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/ouubx1/deleted_face...

Open standards don't equate to slow. Vulkan is an open standard, for example. The standard just has to allow for performant use.

It would have been better if we could've started experimenting with this stuff more than two years ago, but Facebook kept access locked up for their use only. I'm glad they're slowly doling out more access, but the industry is now set back by over two years, and any experimentation will now happen on Facebook's terms. Of course that's all for your protection. Of course it is.

Linux on M1 and sideloading OSX apps are fairly orthogonal. Bootloader/sideloading term mixup maybe?

Even the main skynet portal doesn't run off a mint subsidy - it's funded by VC money instead :)

No problem on running a portal! It was fun to be part of it for a while. I may run one again in the future once it's a bit more sustainable.

I'm still interested in the project - I think we still haven't scratched the surface of what something like Skynet is capable of. That said, I'm a little less optimistic than others. I think it's going to be a long road to relevance.
