Yes, a really, really BIG book!

Nice, but expect to page through a few pages of ToS during the build

Or just any update for 122B. That size seems to be ideal for a single GB10

"Works on my machine" - a colleague's mug from back in the day. He was just being funny, but there's a bit of truth in every joke. Reproducibility was only occasionally a top concern for developers, and then github and other CI tools came along to offload that concern all together. Perhaps with the growing threat maintainers will start to care again. Github should just turn off publishing capabilities and force them to care.

Yes. Isn't this something code review catches? :)

time to break out Pro C# textbook

F this BS. I will never send a single dime or packet to any company or politician that supports this. I will tell everyone I know to boycott their service or products.

The latest absurd power grab in the guise of protecting the children.

I think they used a dummy model or else they would have linked to it. Just google '1-bit 100b model' and you'll only see references to this project without any download links.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll ask the issue creator if they've considered that. Would be nice if the maintainer would handle that (sigh) and link to the actual models used for testing (double sigh).

It comes from (intentionally?) misleading docs: https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet/issues/391

(only suggesting that it's intentional because it's been there so long)

Wow, that's A lot. Even though there's diminishing returns with more workers, they'd probably build them faster if they weren't scaling out so much concurrently, right?

Seems like we could match a 7 year clip at a much smaller scale. We'll be forced to at some point, but we need to overhaul the regulatory mess and fix the grid first. Hopefully that happens long before battalions of Chinese drones and droids take over the world.

gog too, which my openclaw agent always stubbornly wants to use instead of delegating to a subagent + custom calendar/imap proxy server I built.

I have it running in a macos VM using lume & BlueBubbles on a throwaway iCloud account. A lot of hoops to jump through, though

In October, I bought a $250 product from a Canadian company + about $30 shipping & taxes and thought I was good. A few weeks later, FedEx sends me an $92 bill for the duty that they had to pay. I just ignored it since I was never given that notice up front. If they really wanted it, they could have had the vendor contact me. But at least they're not getting that bit of profit now.

Even if it is, it's not hard to automate PR submissions, comments and blog posts, for some ulterior purpose. Combine that with the recent advances in inference quality and speed, and probable copy-cat behavior, any panic from this theater could lead to heavy-handed crackdown by the state.

lol "What the fuck are guardrails?" Grok!

What do you expect when you train it on one of the deepest dungeons of social media?

The journalist was almost certainly using an LLM, and a cheap one at that. The quote reads as if the model was instructed to build a quote solely using its context window.

Lying is deliberately deceiving, but yeah, to a reader, who in a effect is a trusting customer who pays with part of their attention diverted to advertising support, broadcasting a hallucination is essentially the same thing.

Agreed and that's why there's an incentive to DDoS it and degrade the quality. Are there any p2p backup solutions?

Man, CSS looks absolutely nothing like it did when I started out. lol

eCash would be better, but someone needs to be connected to the mint.

Guilty of what exactly? Facilitating drug dealing? Something we both know is going to occur whether the nanny state permits it or not. Ross made it safer for those involved, and even those not involved. Inner cities are war zones because drug deals must be done in person. He deserves a full pardon.

Traditional banking is governed by men with guns who depend on votes (for appearances). They always have recourse and motivation to intervene with private transactions. Not so much the case with bitcoin, which is extralegal for the most part and doesn't depend on them.

A very interesting philosophical and moral can of worms you just opened there. Bitcoin is governed by the protocol, so if the protocol permits anyone who can sign a valid transaction involving a given UTXO to another address, then it technically isn't a "crime". Morally I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep well at night if I unilaterally took what I didn't exchange value for.

As for the forgotten key case, I think the only way to prove you had the key at some point would need to involve the sender vouching for you and cryptographically proving they were the sender.

Those don't really mean anything when an attacker can eavesdrop on customer and employee comms and possibly redirect transactions (MITM).

Correct me if I’m wrong, but remote code execution has the advantage of being able to access information without the user being involved at all. Sure the user needs to install and trigger the exploit, but whatever code the attacker runs doesn’t require the user to interact with certain urls. If you can launch arbitrary programs, you can probably install all sorts of nasty things that are potentially more lucrative than the victim’s bank or coinbase accounts.

So it’s more expensive to make something ugly. Gotcha ;)

The slowness might be explained by the background tasks of restoring previously installed software and data. I have an iPhone 13 Pro with tons of apps and it’s still pretty snappy. But those specific bugs do pop up from time to time. Especially since they release new phones concurrently with new operating systems.

Why don't they just focus on making a Gravitron variant with those algorithms in the circuitry?

Why do people need to be on guard for those beliefs? People should be critical thinkers and not thought police.

Granted, there are all kinds of whackos in crypto, but we should only be concerned about the immoral ones trying to scam us out of our money: SBF, Do-Kwon, and the like.

What makes the “b-word” dirty?

Sure, let's go!
