qeternity

There is something deeply broken with Spanish rail.

The real answer is not that companies are trying to please shareholders, it’s that they are trying to please customers.

Nobody external gave a directive to build this. But if people buy it en masse, they will continue to invest in it. If not they will sunset it.

Its success or failure rests on consumers, the same people responsible for parenting their children well.

> its per GPU-cluster, not a single gpu.

No, it isn't. It's revenue per hour per GPU.

No, this is an account/workspace management CLI.

I'm not even really sure what this means but the first part is not accurate, and the opposite is true: looped transformers are moving reasoning even deeper into the model.

You’re confusing two things. It’s very different to change or reduce the IP protections companies have.

It’s entirely another to force them or restrict them from engaging in transactions between consenting parties that do not infringe on a third party.

I don’t believe they have special rights.

You are comparing products that aren’t equivalent. If I “buy” a book on Kindle, that book might have restrictions (natural or artificial) that don’t apply to a physical book.

The product is what it is. If you don’t like it don’t buy it. If you bought a physical Xbox disc 20 years ago, you wouldn’t expect to be able to use it on PlayStation.

Fine then let's reframe it: why can't the companies release games on their terms at their prices and allow consumers to decide whether they want to transact?

Nobody is forced to play video games.

Incredible. Let's just upend well established rights to agency because you really like video games.

> LLMs are non-deterministic

This is not true. Non determinism only arises via sampling, and to a much lesser extent, CUDA kernel launch subtleties.

If you knew my full beliefs, it's the exact opposite. The Framers were a group of such people unafraid to chart a new path.

They enshrined a number of rights that are under attack by both ends of the political spectrum.

It's the failure to break the cycle which leads to dictatorship, and is unequivocally not the solution to problems of today.

Today we are dominated by weak men afraid of what a greater mass of weak men might say about them or accuse them of.

The lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.

Partitioning is the easy bit I think, and falls out naturally from Postgres.

But how are people doing recency biasing with vector databases?

All of our approaches are either expensive or super hacky.

Knowledge will be shifted to systems like n-gram augmentation which are relatively cheap and will not compete with reasoning capabilities for weight saturation.

> This comment could not have been more stereotypically American.

Of course. As I noted before, dripping in European condescension. Nothing you can actually point to, just condescension from a region that has been left behind over the past century.

> Attacks on rule of law and civil liberties have increased, and the right to privacy is one of those liberties. It's of course not limited to Trump, he wasn't in office when Snowden showed the world the scale of American mass surveillance on domestic and foreign citizens.

Which right or in what way has the right to privacy been attacked? Fully agree with you on attacks on rule of law. And I find Trump incredibly dangerous. But I do not think privacy in the US today has suffered. Please educate me.

> I'm totally unsure what you are attempting to imply. That mass surveillance by the American state stopped at some point in the last 10 years?

I am not implying anything. The Freedom Act curtailed a bunch of activities. You are implying nothing has changed. All of the Snowden revelations implicated many European countries: intelligence agencies spying on each others populations. I am asking you if you believe nothing has changed in the US do you 1) have any evidence of this and/or 2) believe that anything has changed in Europe? You've answered neither.

> What does that even mean "read history" ahaha. Espionage != mass surveillance. You do understand the difference, do you not?

Do you understand that the mass surveillance of European people was done at the behest of the intelligence agencies of those countries? And ditto for the NSA. The agreement was "you spy on mine and I'll spy on yours and we'll swap the intel". I am not talking about espionage. Foreign intelligence agencies spying on foreigners...what did you think they did?

> l m a o. Oh say can you see...

God, it's so painful. Yes in the same way that you talk about the US as a monolith and not 50 individual states. You don't care what Rhode Island does any more than I care what Latvia does.

Christ you guys are insufferable. It's no wonder everyone is leaving in droves.
