Electricity exists to be used, and we have essentially infinite free energy from nuclear power. Why are we wringing our hands pretending like we're going to run out of electrons? The days of hauling and burning ancient organic material to generate power should be over, and all these guilt-based arguments fallaciously require you to accept that as a premise.

More info on AIPAC endorsements:

"We did multi-shot prompting to try and get these two games into comparable states using these two different models."

"Well obviously you provided better follow-up prompts to the one that came out better."

Also nothing about human-provided plan files and guardrails preclude the one-shot benchmark test. Heavens, I almost said "real coding," but in "real agentic program creation" you'd obviously be doing multi-turn interaction with the agent, but how can you provide a fair test when the model's output n determines your n+1 response?

Long thread but I highly recommend this game. It scratched the itch I had for TA. Well, for everything but that amazing soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxAdOQtAFEs&list=RDBxAdOQtAF...

So the US government wants Anthropic to require IDs from their users, driving them to over platforms, but won't require this from OpenAI?

>Raspberry Pi are working the issue by releasing new memory variants that are cheaper[2]

Raspberry Pi are working on the issue but letting you spend the same amount of money per GB, for fewer GB.

>How could the maintainers understand their codebase if most of it was not directly written by them?

Counterpoint: I look back at code I wrote a few years ago and just take it on faith that I knew what I was doing at some point. That's still better than never knowing, but it requires faith--faith in a human, vs. faith in an LLM.

How I yearn for an open source alternative to Suno.AI, and something that can create super niche sound effects. This feels like Suno 1.0 levels of quality but maybe it can get there?

Stealing code and credit (and being unrepentant) is actually what gets you into situations like that one. I read your document and you still seem to think you're a victim.

Also I must've been mistaken about you having been unbanned from llama.cpp, as I'm sure you're aware that being so brazen and unrepentant about your plagiarism and victimization of another developer would have risked your access once again. It's a shame you've not grown as an open source contributor

I recall reading it and you mischaracterize and conflate the core issues with accusations of hate and mean words, which is an inappropriate deflection and an attempt to control the narrative. The core issues were always plagiarism, misrepresentation of another user's work, refusal to give proper credit to the real author, and you bragging about it when you thought you could get away with it with quotes like "great artists steal." You never took accountability nor grasped the seriousness of what you attempted to do. You don't seem to understand WHY you faced blowback. You never expressed regret that the person you were victimizing was deeply depressed and pushed moreso by your betrayal. It's always "me, me, me." Your behavior and response is toxic.

Fun lore, GGUFs were once called GGJTs until I caught the "JT" (Justine Tunney) stealing the memory map code from a user who did 99% of the work in a draft PR (slaren) and lying about it, and misrepresenting or not understanding how memory map worked. She wanted her initials in the file format for bragging rights because it was claimed that it caused 90% memory reduction (actually it was just lazy loading into memory). Gerganov was quite angry when he found out what happened. Jart (JT) was then banned from the llama.cpp repo but managed to get back in a year or so later.

I assume this would only be useful as the second stage after a model like Whisper, as it can't understand speech where you'd want it, like on a phone or small device?

What online communities? Ever since Reddit went all-in on censorship, actual conversation moved to the deep web, mainly on Discord and other places invisible to search engines.

Did they fix being able to select text without a ton of empty spaces across multiple lines, and being able to use the mousewheel as effectively as a non-multiplexed terminal?

They need the GPU cycles to help target children to bomb for their new partnership with the US military.

That should disqualify them from ever being taken seriously on anything. Would you trust water from a well that was once poisoned? Even if you scrubbed every inch with soap and water, wouldn't there still be some residue that you'd rather not ingest? And I don't think people's inner selves can actually be cleaned, nor do they even want to, usually.

The only place that reminds me of the old Internet is VRChat, funny enough. You're guaranteed to be interacting with a nerdy, culturally similar human who's present in the moment.

Searle's Chinese Room experiment but without knowing what's in the room, and when you try to peek in you just see a cloud of fog and are left to wonder if it's just a guy with that really big dictionary or something more intelligent.
