The only reason a datacenter would ditch their H100 is if it becomes uneconomical to run them, with newer silicon providing much more power efficiency. When that happens they'll look like a used V100 looks today: horribly inefficient, lacking modern data types and engines, requiring screaming server fans with weird adapters to not melt, way beyond end of life in terms of cuda support. Almost completely damn useless unless you really have no other alternative.

Yeah that's uh, that's nothing. The orange part is supposed to be foldable somehow?

Country issue.

They did it to dodge taxes.

Matches! This is bizarre. A Jacobian counterexample has been sitting here in a prompt? Wait... is this map a known "fake" counterexample from the literature? Many mathematicians have tried and failed. This specific map might come from a paper or a forum where it was proposed and then debunked. Or... is it actually correct?

Gemma's having trouble accepting it too. A solution?! At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within my own prompt?

I like how first it's amazed and doesn't believe it, accepts it, then realizes you not only stole it from twitter but that it's its own proof lmao.

And it also planned-obsoletes 4G only devices, a big win for the operators that can then sell new 5G capable ones. Such a racket I swear. Can't wait to go through this shit again for 6G in about 5 years, like we did for 3G.

Yeah in your dreams maybe. I'm often seeing zero bars, asking others if they have any signal only to have them show me a full 5G signal. New towers aren't backwards compatible, and the bandwidth has been largely reduced.

4G? In 2026? Good luck having no tower reception. 4G barely works anymore.

I'm sure in the handful of cases where they have a genuine bulk contract on paper with a large firm that states they'll be in breach if they train on it, they do abide by it.

But unless you are one of those you mentioned and a few others you probably aren't notable enough to care about. Everyone who uses their services directly, paying or not, is surely ignored in that sense. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a team of their own lawyers ready to interpret their EULA in fascinating ways.

And out of those three I'd only probably assume Apple is the only one who doesn't use the data given that they've built up privacy as a selling point, MS and Google probably train their own models on it themselves.

Do you have proof it's not? There are no laws they have to follow in regards to it, and it's practically impossible for them to go against their core self interest. More data is literally a direct component to better models and more revenue. If someone proves it's fake worst they get is a month of bad PR and then people will move on, as they always do.

Those knobs don't do anything, don't be silly. It's just optics.

Lol, lmao even.

Of course they train on literally everything they get their hands on, like everyone else. If you need privacy, that's what local models are for.

I wouldn't try that with fable, it has a real knack for malicious compliance and the capability to back it up.

Oh come on, that's a view so charitable that not even Musk giving away all of his wealth would come close.

Pretty much everybody know what it was about on day one, brokers were (and still are) operating in blatant bad faith for personal gain and they know they can count on the current US administration to get off scot free. It's like if Jordan Belfort was in charge of Nasdaq.

slightly worse on knowledge and tool calling

Worse than Gemma at tool calling? Gemma's already bottom tier at that (at least when there's Qwen to compare to), that would just be unable to do tool calling at all.

The funniest part about this thing is that it seems to have had roughly the same performance of a modern day CM5 (the Raspberry kind).

Not to worry, we're still flying half a project.

"That's fair."

Ha I thought mine was on the verge of dying after a good few years of use (amazon reviews were all like, yeah it only lasted a two years), so I ordered a new one, but the old one keeps going so I keep the new one in reserve looming over it menacingly, and it just refuses to kick it lol.

Stocks and politics I guess.

Fast takeoff was always only possible if you ignore all of physics and everything about how practical reality works, nothing exponential lasts for long in a finite system. If they believe that, then a certain level of self delusion is required anyway and you can ignore anything you like. Sort of like communists saying socialism will definitely work this time.

The book Superintelligence was so highly praised years ago but if you actually go and read the thing today practically all cases it presents read like raypunk retro-futurism that makes up imaginary fantastical nonsense in place of the missing knowledge it would've needed to make any sensible predictions. Practically none of its assumptions apply to LLMs as they currently exist, and some we've learned since about human inteligence are wrong too.

But how many times can it bite the area of Rhode island?

The man who singlehandedly got me to think about Rome on a weekly basis.

Yeah the outlook of a crook who only sees laws as quid pro quo vehicles for enriching those in the know.

I don't think VW and a few others trying to cheat the system to improve their bottom line makes it some kind of made up law that's supposed to be optics only and nothing in practice. It's just the typical corporate response to having to do something that's for the commons for once instead of tragedizing them.

Yeah there's something on almost every roof in Damascus, and Google's imagery is usually fashionably 2-5 years out of date so it's probably even more now.

The emissions restrictions were meant to get the likes of Deere to design and use smaller, more efficient engines, not to keep doing whatever they were with a slightly more restricted fuel hose.

Set to an obligatory benny hill soundtrack of course.

Yeah the benefits of a model that can understand text well enough is certainly that one could in theory just describe the layout. Just let it know what connects to what, what's on each floor, etc. Might work if it can figure out where it is based on contextual info, but probably not super well yet I imagine. VLAs are known to have very little text context, like sentences worth at most, maybe this one's different.
