That wasn't my point at all.

My point was, there are the application/validation systems and manufacturing already set up for driver's licenses.

Anybody can apply for a provisional driver's license. That provisional driver's license is an acceptable form of photo id that shows your age,address etc already.

So there is no need for an alternative/new system. If they want a "id" version of the provisional driver's license in terms of style/what gets printed then it's an easy/small modification.

Sure not everyone has a driver's license, but anybody can apply for one. If you don't know what a provisional driver's license is, then please look it up...

I really do hope binface gets in because he's just a regular dude with similar sensibilities to most people actually living in their community.

But then I saw the interviews run on residents and who they'll be voting for, most of them creaky pensioners and most of them saying something like "I don't know anything about what's happening but I'm going to vote for Farage again anyway". I won't be surprised at all if Farage gets in again, tribalism and apathy strikes again.

Good in that I'm disappointed it was ever gonna be a thing. Especially since they probably had some disgustingly expensive parasite private contractor lined up to do the ids.

WE ALREADY HAVE DRIVERS LICENSES. Just like when I was living in NZ we had the HANZ 18+ card, they can do similar in UK. In fact a provisional drivers license is easy to apply for and the system is already set up to take applications, make the cards etc.

British citizens seem perfectly fine with government wasting money tho. Doesn't matter which political party either, they're all inept cocks.

Not really. I imagine demand for AI just from China would eat up their entire production let alone demand from the west.

And after all, that demand from consumers.

Harm does not mean a PlayStation 5 is now $200 more expensive or that inflation exists.

Yes it does lmao. If consumers can't get access to devices then they cannot be used for work or education. It's counterproductive.

How many "attention is all you need" papers aren't being written because as soon as there's a sniff of money the rabid suit and tie MBA fucks leap onto any opportunity like a dog in heat and fuck it to death.

Are they fairly reasonable performance from your experience?

I'm about to move house and one of the things I want is better local AI. Ideally running a variety of smaller models at the same time, but occasionally one larger one. 128GB unified is pretty appealing, but for the price I can also get a handful of 5060 ti 16GB which give vastly better compute/inference speed.

Seen a few reviews of the strix halo boards from people complaining the tps is too low so definitely keen to hear others' experiences with em.

Lmao tech money is fake. Look at how much AI companies are throwing around. Musk is personally worth 1T now supposedly.

It's all virtual valuations. The stock market is poison but most people on here won't admit to that because they have their own interests in it. What a joke our species is lmao. We're still grabbing big sticks to hit each other with and worrying about our neighbors coming to take our rocks because we're all just monkeys still, even though we pretend we're not.

I mean it's interesting because of the way they work.

If people can be tricked by an AI generated voice over the phone, or misinformation generated by human or by AI, then we're already holding AI to a higher standard.

I would say in the same way that I look at my boss who I work for and can identify them that way, then of course I'll be like "yup I can do that for you".

Models aren't trained to be suspicious, that's what guardrails are for. Our brains are comprised of so many specialised areas and I'm fine with the same concept for AI.

I would country passing a token/authentication of some kind as a part of guardrails. Without guardrails an AI model is like a human brain missing a lot of the areas around suspicion, identification, rules etc. Only the "eager to please" centers remaining.

I feel like the easiest way to achieve this is in-harness, start with a core prompt and minimal tools, extensions to prompt, relaxed guardrails and additional tools should be controlled by the harness itself, when a token is passed, or a camera indicates an identified face match, etc.

I mean I'd love to be able to buy something like the 17k tps taalas chip as a pcie or m.2.

Imagine when we can roar along at that speed, low power. Can just have the model reason for a while about anything and everything. It reminds me of the "race to idle" for mcus etc.

People are already doing that lmao and the general population is so apathetic that they simply don't care cheap flights and buying crap from Temu will cook us to death, they don't care that late stage capitalism has made it harder and harder for people to have families. Even if the replacement rate is magically fixed tomorrow there's still gonna be a long gap and hard times ahead.

It's still far off but I wouldn't be surprised if these were the earliest signs of societal collapse. It does seem impossible to avoid, going in cycles.

Eh I gave up on ubiquiti (for home/small office).

Their UI is pretty (lmao ui.com) but their software is terrible, unreliable. Logs are filled with errors which is "normal" etc.

Ahahaha. Just like with their porn ban, people just use a VPN besides the fact there are plenty of smaller websites just plain not adhering to the stupid laws.

Starmer is an idiot, in every photo of him at some political event etc he always looks like a lost schoolboy with an expression on his face of having walked into a room full of adults and now he's afraid to move lest he be noticed by the big bois.

Granted, all of the other political parties in the UK are inept, corrupt, hapless, ignorant, etc. Reform are a bunch of racists who'll sooner give tax breaks to corporations than actually help the people. Tories are a shadow of their former selves and probably still have delusions that the Rwanda deal was a good idea and not a ludicrous fantasy that should have been an onion article instead of reality. Libdems don't really DO anything, no strong policies and to wont to "go with the flow". Greens are like greens in every country, 90% of their policies make sense, the other 10% are batshit but they're all social environment related and that's a small percentage of required policy - they'd be too afraid to use economic controls.

But the real problem, like everywhere in the world, is the voterbase. Apathetic, sugar/salt/dopamine loving human animals. Can't blame em (us) really, but still - why are we prepared to act all civilised etc when in reality a good chunk of people don't really have any idea what's going on, don't care what's going on and would rather scroll tiktok while eating fastfood and hating whatever group their "tribe" has chosen to hate whilst misplacing their vote while the billionaires become trillionaires.

We (humans worldwide) are falling far below the replacement rate. Global temperatures are still rising. People are still starving even when we have the technology and capital to feed them all.

Can't even be bothered greasing the article because the attention grabbing headline simply isn't true. (edit: oh it's the register, so absolute trash)

It was already YEARS ago that they found that certain things such as the time of year (December vs. start of January) had an impact on reasoning effort.

Until we're training models such that the undesirable human patterns aren't picked up from training data there will always be a way to prompt it to be smarter. Also look at anthropic's "assistant axis" research from a short while ago - because intelligence in a domain is relative, if I prompt it with language connected to a particular domain, use the appropriate jargon that achieves far better results.

True CEO. An actual leader who takes responsibility.

I.e. Not the majority of celebrity CEOs with golden parachutes and underpaid employees. Only in the position thanks to "my dad knows his dad and we went to the same school" nods and winks. It is the objective truth for most executives.
