Curious about this and I just download it.

Want to try uncensored models.

I have a question, looking for the most popular "uncensored" model I just find "TheBloke/Luna-AI-Llama2-Uncensored-GGML", but it has 14 files to download between 2 to 7 GB, I just download the first one: https://imgur.com/a/DE2byOB

I try the model and it works: https://imgur.com/a/2vtPcui

I should download all the 14 files to get better results?

Also, asking how to make a bomb it looks that at least this model isn't "uncesored": https://imgur.com/a/iYz7VYQ

This is huge and potentially encouraging news for (biological) extraterrestrial life. Because P is so rare, the chemical options for complex organisms are very limited in vast stretches of space. Now that we observed it in the outer reaches, it doesn't seem as implausible that life could arise there.

It'll be interesting to find out how it ended up so far out there. Maybe those clouds are sometimes more stable than we thought?

Strangely I think Ilya comes out of this well. He made a decision based on his values and what he believed was the best decision for AI safety. After seeing the outcome of that decision he changed his mind and owned that. He must have known it would result in the internet ridiculing him for flip flopping, but acted in what he thought was the best interest for the employees signing the letter. His actions are wroth criticism but I think his moral character has been demonstrated.

The other members of the board seemed to make their decision based on more personal reasons that seems to fit with Adams conflict of interest. They refused to communicate and only now accept any sort of responsibility for their actions and lack of plan.

Honestly Ilya is the only one of the 4 I would actually want still on the board. I think we need people who are willing to change direction based on new information especially in leadership positions despite it being messy, the world is messy.
> It looks like one should strive to become product manager, not an engineer or a scientist.

If you look at who's running Google right now, you would be essentially correct.
But pronouncing that 700 people are bad at critical thinking is convenient when you disagree with them on desired outcome and yet can't hope to argue points.
Interesting that they include the Polar Star. I assume it’s not leading any sort of group and is sailing independently.
So does the bias in an artifical neural network. I wouldn't call a ANN conscious just because it has a bias.
>At what point in time has our economy been more regulated than it is today? I can't even think of a particular industry that has trended towards less government involvement.

In a specific and literal 'number of regulations, period' way, you're right. But in a more general sense involving the FTC, prior to 1978 the economy was significantly more regulated.

So there may be more restrictions on the product to qualify as natural or organic, for example, but there are less restrictions on the ability of the company that makes the product to engage in non-competitive behavior. Banking is a good example - there are more restrictions and requirements for disclosure, but before the 90's, banks were not allowed to have branches in multiple states. Additionally, now you have a number of tech companies behaving like banks but acting in a significantly less regulated way that wasn't possible twenty-five years ago. From a 'whole economy' perspective, the required reserve balance reductions in the 90's resulted in less ability for the federal govt to control the economy without major shocks.

The government has less control over the economy today than it has had in decades, and since the late 70's a failure of antitrust enforcement and changes in financial rules have resulted in market concentration in every major market to a degree that they have all become oligopolies.

A ring buffer of pointers to structs is friendly to gather instructions.
That said, the documentation shows a graph of operations applied to each packet. I'd expect that to lead to a lot of "divergence", and therefore being non-SIMD friendly.

(also, x86-64 CPUs with good gather instructions are rare, and sibling comments show that this is aimed at lower end CPUs. That makes SIMD even less relevant.)
hehe, that's the first thought that came to mind.

I don't know about people in biology in general, but it seems a whole new space of considerations.. topological communication, spread of information..

and if people are curious about other aspects of this, google peter reddien, he had a lab who focused on planaria regeneration too, and by playing with location and numbers of cuts they triggered some cascading patterns of regeneration (think https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:iso_paper_si... but with biological tissue and organs)
Not that I have any insight into any of the events at OpenAI, but would just like to point out there are several other reasons why so many people would sign, including but not limited to:

- peer pressure

- group think

- financial motives

- fear of the unknown (Sam being a known quantity)

- etc.

So many signatures may well mean there's consensus, but it's not a given. It may well be that we see a mass exodus of talent from OpenAI _anyway_, due to recent events, just on a different time scale.

If I had to pick one reason though, it's consensus. This whole saga could've been the script to an episode of Silicon Valley[1], and having been on the inside of companies like that I too would sign a document asking for a return to known quantities and – hopefully – stability.

I wanted to buy a Toyota Prius Prime - the plug-in hybrid... But we discovered how much smaller it is than our 2008 Prius. Yuck.

So then we looked hard at the Rav-4 Prime plug-in hybrid. I like it.

But if Toyota is not committed, I'd rather go elsewhere...

Is there a plug-in hybrid that's close to the size of a small SUV that you'd recommend? Four people in the family and a great big Golden Retriever that we like to be able to put in the hatch back trunk of our 2008 Prius.

An awfully convenient attitude to having your claims challenged.

> https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/09/ukraine-civilian-casua...

You are claiming tens of thousands killed, tortured and raped by Russians, but this data actually contradicts your claim: while there are lots of injured, the death toll is about 9k, half of them killed in Donetsk and Luhansk, which makes it more likely that they were killed by Ukrainian Armed Forces.

And that's ignoring all the casualties in Donetsk and Luhansk before the escalation.

Civilians getting in the crossfire is always a tragedy that each side tries to exploit to their own benefit, acting like they've totally transcended the problem of collateral damage and those other guys are doing it on purpose.

> There are many, many documented cases of russian soldiers raping women and children in Ukraine.

a) The X soldiers raping women (and children!) is a basic dehumanization technique. Serbs did it, Iraqis did it, Russians are doing it, Chinese are doing doing it, Palestine does it. Apparently literally everyone at odds with "western" political block seems to be doing it, which begs for some questions. The matter of sexual violence gets an easy emotional response and and demands very little burden of proof. And then we also have characters like Lyudmila Denisova, who are happy to craft stories like that.

b) You aren't seriously claiming that things you've linked could be held to a standard of "documented"? Hell, one of them is an "intercepted call" (somewhat popular medium to portray those evil orcs, and my god, does that LTE encryption sucks) with a woman literally saying: "so, hubby, how's fucking all those Ukrainian women going on :)))))))" - that totally sounds natural AF.

Not to turn this into a blindly dichotomic argument, war obviously sucks and obviously there are people who are killed, tortured and raped, and each one is one too many. But spinning propaganda and dumbing everything down to a perfect dichotomy of all good vs all evil is only going to make things worse for everyone, especially for ordinary normal people who just want to live in peace.

Just as you do, Russian media also have a shit load of "documented" cases of some evil shit and narratives of grannies having their legs torn off by HIMRAS missiles.

And in both cases, instead of a wakeup call, it's used as an excuse for MOAR weapons, MOAR warfare, MOAR destruction and death.
I've had the 'chance' to work with some deeply manipulative persons in the past, the kind who goes to your desk and say 'Hey, I noticed you started to speak to X again, and your performance seems to suffer as a result", where X is a friendly colleague that opposed some plan of that person. It is incredibly difficult to keep those people in check as all that behaviour is off the record and impossible to prove. When people complain it's a 'you said, he said' situation where the manipulator inevitably wins. Wether those persons are positive or negative for the company is not all that clear, but they create an incredibly unpleasant work environment.

Vulnerability Deep Dive: Uncovering Weaknesses in Apple macOS and VMware VCenter
Not so true working for an organisation that is ostensibly a non-profit. People working for a non-profit are generally taking a significant hit to their earning's compared to doing similar work in a for-profit, outside of the top management of huge global charities.

The issue here is that OpenAI, Inc (officially and legally a non-profit) has spun up a subsidiary OpenAI Global, LLC (for-profit). OpenAI Global, LLC is what's taken venture funding and can provide equity to employees.

Understandably there's conflict now between those who want to increase growth and profit (and hence the value of their equity) and those who are loyal to the mission of the non-profit.
Be aware that you're talking about Quora's implementation of ChatGPT here. As far as I know, the cached answers were generated with an incredibly outdated version, which is definitely not indicative of its current quality.

Even worse, I think they actually prime it with answers already posted on the thread, or even just related threads.
For example, one of the answers to the first question mentions the same Altaic root as ChatGPTs answer, and I've found multiple people that are seeing their own rephrased answers in the response.

If you preprompt ChatGPT with questionable data, then the answer quality will be massively degraded. I've noticed many times now that Bing will rephrase incorrect information or construct a very shallow summary out of unrelated articles when internet searches are allowed, but is able to generate a cohesive and detailed summary when they're disabled.

Throwing random answers - some contradicting each other and some talking about subtly different aspects of the topic - into a session without further guidance just isn't a great idea.

Totally agree. As long as it's been sussed out as available to purchase legally, who is anybody to tell others what they can or cannot buy? So many people looking at other people's backyards and not their own in most cases.

We can only change what we can change and that is in the past. I think it's reasonable to ask if the phones and the communication tools they provide are good for our future. I don't understand why the people on this site (generally builders of technology) fall into the teleological trap that all technological innovation and its effects are justifiable because it follows from some historical precedent.

I disagree with the notion that customer behavior change is required. This position sounds like unsubstantiated fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

For the vast majority of days, the car gets driven to work then returned home. As the driver leaves the car, they connect an electrical cable into the side of the car.

The biggest change here is the consumer no longer needs to make a stop out of their way to refuel their vehicle and will now have to take an extra 5 seconds to plug a car in.

On longer trips, there is a bit more change I’ll admit, but most EVs will tell you where your next stop is and let you see the nearby amenities. Need to stop sooner? Tap a closer charger and it’ll replan accordingly. This is a change from reading highway exit signs for gas stations but hardly an impediment. And some states are adding EV badges to the highway signs.

Lastly there’s the question of what to do with the vehicle while fast charging. Probably the biggest change that’ll only impact people 4-8 times a year, and that’s what to do while charging. It’s simple: plug in the car, then walk over to a nearby restaurant and grab breakfast/lunch.

This is certainly a deviation from powering through a 8 hour road-trip as fast as humanly possible, but driving without breaks is dangerous.
It does mention in the article that:

NextDNS also has a free plan, albeit you'll hit the limit quickly.

I don't expect everyone to pay for a service like this, but I think that paying for a service like this is reasonable if you can afford it. There's always a modicum of trust that you must confer on the provider (they're resolving all your DNS queries, and you can view logs if choose to), but paying for it does better in aligning incentives. Otherwise self-hosting is the most privacy-friendly option of all.
We’ve heard this for every version of Windows for the past twenty years or more.

When XP was new, there were people refusing to upgrade from Win2000 to “Fischer-Price Windows”.

That's a civil war. People die on all sides and lose their homes. In Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian population was so sure of its upcoming fate that it packed its bags and left as one, in about two weeks period.

Hi there, Mikael at Candela here. Since the P-12 uses 80% less energy than a conventional vessel, the cost of operating it is far less than diesel vessels- overall around 50% percent lower including service, energy, salaries etc. This makes electrification desirable for operators for the first time. Usually, conventional (non-foiling) electric vessels are more costly to purchase than diesel vessels, and more costly to operate too, as they require MW charging infrastructure on land. The P-12 uses a DC style charger of up to 175 kW, which is pretty affordable to install.
