I totally forgot about that. I guess my memory wanted them to be good around that time.

Tech at least in my eyes peaked around 2018-19. That also coincided with the first more mainstream public-aware introduction of vision and NLP systems into tech products. A few years later it all went downhill for the tech companies.

Once the bubble bursts we can finally sweep up the datacenter GPUs and jerry rig them to our home servers!

I’m on the same opinion. Why do I need to limit myself to something proprietary and in somebody else’s control when I can build and morph a tool to my needs.

The only reason I even look at frontier lab apps is for inspiration or shortcuts to my own implementation.

Using their apps feels like QA testing a trainwreck anyway with all of their UI/UX being an afterthought.

Big Tech found the wrong slider

Is it patronizing if that’s all the geopolitical forces have left the workers as a choice?

Because of scale, potential for automating harm and lack of regulation around ML models. Even Texas probably has regulation around firearms and limiting the blast radius but there aren't any in the US against ML models.

My argument is more that things haven’t changed. Some people end up posting as if this is Reddit and others would point that out. I don’t think this type of interaction will go away because there’s nothing currently that explicitly guides you about how to post here other than community feedback and if you post something egregious - mod actions. And that’s okay. Downvote it, comment on it, etc. Make the community yours.

Similar things have happened in comedy where comedians would complain: “I miss the old days when you could joke about this or that.” If you check newspapers, you will see this trend going all the way back to 1900s.

Jaded part of me thinks companies are going frontier-model-vibe-code their security into security chips everywhere, encrypted firmware everywhere, locked down APIs everywhere and it’s going to take away the fun out of it.

He bought a whole bunch of TVs and he’s testing them right now. Check out his YT channel.

It’s quite something when western companies act more like authoritarian governments than actual authoritarian governments. I just wish RAM was less expensive ;(

People complaining about orange site degradation are probably as old as the site itself.

Re 2: There’s so many gov agencies with overlapping responsibilities that I’m actually surprised you ask this. You can totally close a number of them and still have a functioning government on paper. Reality might turn out different.

As per your second question, I have no answer. Dems are so dysfunctional it’s beyond parody.

That’s because diffusion models struggle with memorizing sequences while it’s essentially what autoregressive models excel at.

I’ve tried to fine tune a diffusion model to memorize an MD5 hash and after days of hacking on it, it failed to completely memorize it. Autoregressive models of any size learn it over <1000 iterations.
