I have 96GB of good RAM. I bought it around this time 3 years ago. Up around 550% when I checked the other day. If a stick dies, it dies. Very sad

Just occurred to me that Amazon seems interestingly positioned relative to the book sourcing thing. I guess that's still not enough.

I think this is true of any trained anything. It's the fish climbing a tree scenario. The teens on Ellen getting laughed at for not knowing how to fold a paper map.

There's infinite front end code to train on. Virtually infinite python and shell scripts too. As I've worked my way away from such domains, the LLM outputs have gotten worse. It just makes sense.

Yeah but that was because it was gently asked to please not. I mean running a firewall/proxy that actually does it.

I think my plan of never letting an LLM access the open Internet wins yet again. Maybe GET requests only, no headers or parameters, ask me for every new domain, and only URLs comprising words/numbers no alphanumerics. Maybe. But it seems trivial to allow for a prompt injected attack vector either way

What's great about this is the are 2 ways to read this:

1. Ukraine is in an offensive position

2. Ukraine is in a defensive position and thus it was indeed Musk

To me these are both very dumb stances. Lose lose statement

I don't see where it says this is the final major update?

We've suspected there was some type of elo ranking for years. But this video is nothing. No sources, no source code, no reproducibility. Pun intended.

Why would you tell it is any persona? Is this the magical "prompt engineering"?

While true, they renamed themselves.

What an interesting layout for a mobile site. It had the archive and a bunch of other stuff before the post. I thought OP linked something wrong.

You can get them up to 16Mb/2MB. Which is 1/128 what NOR flash comes in for a similar price and package. Certainly a trade.

I think MRAM is the future though.

From what I've gathered, and I'm still feeling like I'm missing something, most people don't seem to be doing that. They seem to pass the binary in, say to decompile it, and out the other side is something that looks similar but not exact. https://youtu.be/qFEuYUfauNY .

On the recent WAN show LTT said they tried the recent Photoshop clones and they were buggy, feature missing messes. If they were truly reverse engineer decompiles (minus needing a subscription) they would work just as well. But they don't so they're not.

> half of it is spent staring at a screen

That's what I was referring to. Not the Gen Z stare.

I can't speak for others, but I do know that my screen time is filled with this news feed and engineering or other STEM videos. I could never study, it just didn't work for me. But I have a good memory so watching videos tangential to my field helped. I ended up with straight As in my last years of uni, supported by 40+ hours/week of YouTube. Still not sure if that's accounting for 2x speed.

There's a lot of nuance to this. They should consider what we're "staring" at. Is it AI slop content like our parents seem to enjoy? Or more than that? Likewise for social media: maybe consider why in a society where it's prohibitively expensive to do anything and there's a loss of third spaces people are turning to online connections. And beyond that, connections to people from different backgrounds and locations. I can talk to somebody from the other side of the planet online without effort. We can learn of eachothers' hardships and experiences instantly. I think this got shown very well when rednote happened and American + Chinese teens/young adults mixed together en masse for the first time.
