Same, I've been looking for something like that for quite some time
these people are salty crybabies
Proceeds to whine against imaginary enemies for 6 straight paragraphs
Lol
If I had to guess, I'd say it's not necessarily baked into the models, but rather part of a style guide in the system prompt
They had sewage and toilets since Roman times. It wasn't affordable to many (and you couldn't make it affordable) but they definitely knew how to make it.
I'd just like to interject that while traveling was rare in medieval times, it did happen. People usually didn't get thrown in jail for it, even if they didn't speak the local language.
Regular people didn't really speak Latin beyond a few bits of prayer. The lingua franca was a mix of various coastal languages (think of the belter patois in the expanse), but even that was only known to traders.
You'd have a tough time for sure, but wouldn't necessarily get in trouble.
They do math, just in a very weird (and obviously not super reliable) way. There is a recent paper by anthropic that explains it, I can track it down if you'd be interested.
Broadly speaking, the weights in a model will form sorts of "circuits" which can perform certain tasks. On something hard like factoring numbers the performance is probably abysmal but I'd guess the model is still trying to approximate the task somehow.
Honestly that made me realize that he's a really, genuinely funny guy. From the outside you may think "yeah his shows have good jokes cause there's a whole team in the writing room and they can rewrite a scene until it's a banger" but then you hear him improv 20 minutes of MC non-binary chicken or some moronic shit, while drunk out of his mind, and it just fucking works.
He also came off as a pathologically sincere person, which is a trait i like a lot. There was this borderline me-too story between him and one of his assistants, and he was so sincerely apologetic in his response that the victim basically praised him for apologizing right...
Kids, take a look at this fat alcoholic narcissistic piece of junk cause he may teach you what it means to be a man.
I tried out a tool that helped you do that, but i can't remember the name. Maybe it rings a bell to someone ?
Basically it was a dotfile manager (which you use to save your config files and deploy them on a new install), which also recorded which packages were installed on your system. It would output a bunch of bash scripts which you could customize and save on a git repo. Running those bash scripts would install all the mentioned packages with the configs you have saved. It may have been Arch only, i can't remember.
There's a bunch of dotfile managers listed on this page, such as chezmoi and yadm, but i'm not sure if one of them handles packages as well.
Realistically the list of tools you really need to reinstall on a new system shouldn't be very long. Personally i just reinstall a bare system and install tools if and when i need them. The advantage is that you don't carry over bloat from one system to the other. Do you think it would be applicable to your use case ?
You made me check the average density of earth and, yeah, good is 4x denser than that. I'm not sure about the black hole thing, though. Would it be enough mass to collapse or would it just sit there?
Especially considering it was created by the same guy as IT crowd! Check out his earlier work Father Ted too, it's hilarious in an old school BBC kind of way
Minitel was a text only early internet that popped up in France in the 80s. You connected to it through a small terminal connected to the phone line, and had access to various commercial services such as phone book, train booking etc...
Most of those services have been shut down a decade or two ago but some hobbyists are operating new services on the network.
Never heard it used. Maybe it's regional or a family tradition? A common idiom is "mon chou" but I'd guess it comes from the pastry and not the vegetable.
No it's not even sexy, and it's the only idiom I can think of that uses shovel in this context. It makes absolutely no sense
snogging
In French the slang term for that is "rouler des pelles" , which means literally "to roll shovels" and... I mean what the fuck is up with that?
I think the real shocker was the step change between 3 and 4, and the hope that another step change was soon to come. It's pretty telling that the latest batch of models was fine tuned for vibes and "empathy" rather than raw performance. They're not getting the next a-ha moment and want to focus their customers on unquantifiables.
It seems logical that this would negatively impact performance and, well, looks like it did.
Nah the 500B$ is for building data centers. Well, it would be if that money existed but the truth is it was just an empty announcement.
The companies involved don't have that kind of money, even pooled together.
I don't know any AI artists (as in someone who prompts a model and then calls the result a work of art), although most traditional artists i know have come to incorporate AI one way or another in their process.
You don't really hear about it because it's all intermediate material used during the production phase. For example, as a hobbyist writer, one thing i struggle with is writing action scenes cause i don't have visual memory and i tend to forget a lot about continuity and "spatial realism" ("this guy starts in this corner of the room so there's no way he could grab that object at that point", shit like that). With AI I can generate some kind of "story board" of my scene, which helps me write it much better. It's just laid out visually in front of me and i catch a lot more details.
Sometimes when i'm toying with an idea i'll also have a model generate a few variations on it, with different points of view, writing style, focus etc... Even if the writing is mediocre, it gives me a really good idea of how each version could pan out, and whether an angle works or not. I'll then select the angle that works best and rewrite it entirely from scratch.
There's nothing innovative about it, people have been using assistants to avoid tedious work forever. It's just that before AI you had to, you know, be rich and able to actually pay for the labor.
I am looking for a solution for a ~1TB collection, and the Glacier Deep Archive storage tier is barely above 1$/m for the lot. You may want to look into it ! If I remember correctly, the retrieval (if you one day need to get your data back) was around 20$ to get the data in a few hours, or 2$ to get it in a couple days.
