She’s 40% Bender now
5·12 hours agoMaybe God was on to something the first time he drowned all of humanity. If only he’d just gotten like 3 or 4 more people.
2·13 hours agoI wish I’d sprung for the max when I bought my M1 Pro, but I am glad I splurged on memory. Really aside from LLM workloads this thing is still excellent.
Agree we can be doing a lot more, the recent generation of local models are fantastic.
Gemma 3n and Phi 4 (non reasoning) are my local workhorses lately.
Can you edit the byte code with a hex editor to change that check?
1·14 hours agoHe knows we don’t send them a cheque, right? Somebody in the last 6 months has explained this to him?
5·1 day agoThat is cool! I’ve been wanting I’ve wanted to use a model like this but haven’t really looked.
Are you self hosting the long context llm, of do what are you using?
Context lengths are what kill a lot of my local llm experiments.
1·1 day agoHad no idea they were doing that, but that’s plausible
And yes, it would shock me they can build this model this well and fuck this up.
I just hold little sympathy for the employees.
XAI was founded in 2023, 6 months after Elon acquired Twitter and did his layoffs. 4 months after XAI was created, when it was publicly announced, Musk stated that a politically correct AI would be dangerous
Anyone working at XAI already knew the game by then, they weren’t on visas who got legacied in.
During a launch event Friday afternoon, the mogul argued that politically correct AI is “incredibly dangerous” because it requires the technology to provide misleading outputs, citing the lies told by HAL 9000, the murderous AI in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film, “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
I’m okay with us naming things with this method
Lyra I think you’re confused, I’m asking about OP’s kid.
I thought she was already a rubber stamp
In April, Nigeria asked Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to set concrete deadlines for opening data centers in the country. Nigeria has been making this demand for about four years, but the companies have so far failed to fulfill their promises. Now, Nigeria has set up a working group with the companies to ensure that data is stored within its shores.
Just onshoring the data center does not solve the problems.
You can’t be sure no data travels to the US servers, some data does need to travel to the US servers, and the entire DC is still subject to US software and certificate keychains. It’s better, but not good or safe.
I need to channel my inner Mike Ehrmantrout to the US tech companies and government: you had a good thing going you stupid son of a bitch. You had everything you needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could have shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you needed, but you just had to blow it up, you and your pride and your ego.
Seriously, this is a massive own goal by the US government. This is a massive loss to US hegemony and influence around the world that’s never coming back.
It has never been easier to build sovereign clouds with off the shelf and open source tooling. The best practices are largely documented, software is commoditized, and there are plenty of qualified people out there these days and governments staring down the barrel of existential risk have finally got the incentive to fund these efforts.
In February when Grok 3 was first on every chatbot arena metric – that was just a bit after deepseek r1, and o3, and the space has evolved a lot since then.
However, checking wikipedia it actually seems like they juiced the metrics by using unfair comparisons and letting Grok try the problems 64 times and returning the best answer in their comparisons.
I’m a bit surprised the grok staff are capable enough to make grok briefly the top rated model, and incompetent enough they don’t know that putting things like this in the prompt poisons the model to always try and be politically incorrect.
LLMs are like Ron Burgundy, if it’s in the prompt they read it. Go fuck yourself XAI.
I like Swift, it makes me wish other languages had its callback/block features and builder syntax.
And extending classes widely modifying the core class is super useful.
I wish it had more features for low level memory optimization, and I haven’t really gotten into the macro situation.
Yeah that’s what I usually do, as long as it’s passed by reference there isn’t anything too bad here.
