Like it or not, this is exactly what normies have always wanted out of search engines - a little guy in their computer they can talk to for answers, advice and reassurance. They've always been trying to use Google Search this way and have been confused and annoyed that it doesn't work. And now it does! It's a massive quality of life improvement for the average user and a huge product win for Google.

"Transatlantic flight will never be commercially viable, we conclude based on careful study of several aircraft designs from the 1920s"

Bogus article. They didn't write anything to the drive, they faked writes to run up the drive's write counter to test whether the controller would declare the drive worn out despite the flash not being touched.

In many cases for game devs/publishers "supporting Linux" now means making sure the Windows build runs well under Proton.

It's cropping the original image then tokenizing it again with less downsampling, not cropping its internal representation.

I live in Poland and speak Polish but tend to have my devices set to English because of how low quality UI translations tend to be. The endless confusion this causes to software is amusing. Worst/best of all is Google Maps on Android, in which random parts of the interface, including voice directions, can independently be in Polish or English, and which is which changes on its own on a daily basis.

It's the latter. Some people abuse the system by highlighting the full length of every broadcast, turning their highlights section into a complete archive of their streams, which is not something Twitch ever wanted to offer.

The requirements of orbital launch are unyielding. If you make a car 50% heavier, it will have worse mileage and handling, but it will still get you where you need to go. If you make a spacecraft 50% heavier, it will never reach orbit.

> All LLM runs under the complexity of O(n), where n is the length of the output.

Wouldn't n be the length of the complete sequence including input?

Ollama can already run Llama-3 70B with a 4GB GPU, or no GPU at all, it'll just be slow.

Considering this says it's "not designed for real-time interactive scenarios" it's probably also really slow

Usually "uncensored" models have been made by instruction tuning a model from scratch (i.e. starting from a pretrained-only model) on a dataset which doesn't contain refusals, so it's hard to compare directly to a "censored" model - it's a whole different thing, not an "uncensored" version of one.

More recently a technique called "orthogonal activation steering" aka "abliteration" has emerged which claims to edit refusals out of a model without affecting it otherwise. But I don't know how well that works, it's only been around for a few weeks.

Funnily enough, of all that I've tried, the model by the best at writing porn has been not one of ones uncensored and tuned exactly for that purpose, but stock Command R - whose landing page lists such exciting uses as "suggest example press releases" and "assign a category to a document".

That might be part of it, but I think the bigger factor is cost optimization. OpenAI in particular keeps replacing their models with with versions that are much faster (and therefore cheaper to run) which are supposed to be of equivalent quality but aren't really. GPT-4 -> GPT-4-Turbo -> GPT-4o have all been big upgrades to cost and latency but arguably downgrades to "intelligence" (or whatever you want to call it)
