Not sure I agree. Being the thing that the tech folks find cool isn't a bad starting position at all. And it's significantly harder to achieve than DM's.
Can someone explain how this works? What would trigger a misbranch and how can the OS tell the difference? I read the page and the link but I don't understand.
Maybe I'm jaded because I live in what could be called a cabin in a forest and things are constantly breaking, but this just seems like an incredible layer of complexity that's begging for expensive repairs and constant maintenance.

Does anyone here know someone who knows someone who has actually been involved in one of these homes, and can you relay if it's actually as big of a pain in the ass as I'm thinking it is?

A self hosted instance will have whatever moderation the host chooses to implement (such as CSAM monitoring if required by law.)

On top of that, user defined moderation will be applied from block and mute lists. Hopefully this will include using 3rd party lists and eventually, user specified content filters.

I definitely question the legitimacy of reducing human qualities like intelligence down to a single number or composite score.

However, IQ was not initially invented for bigot reasons. IQ may have been used by bigots, but the initial inception of IQ was for a very legitimate purpose.

My understanding is the Binet created the first IQ tests because as French society was rapidly industrializing, more rural people were moving to cities. Some of the children of these rural people had ages that were unknown as were their educational abilities.

So, the tests were basically used to calculate the "mental age" of these children so that the children could be appropriately placed in the correct classrooms. For example, an 9 year old child with a mental age of 6 would more than likely not benefit from being thrown into the same classroom as other 9 year olds. Likewise, a 6 year old child with the mental age of 12 might not benefit from being in a classroom with other 6 year olds.
It's not even like they trained their model to do it! If this is true, they are literally just intercepting your prompt and stuffing it with keywords! It's bafflingly bad and lazy.

I'm not "anti-woke" by any means, but anyone at all who believes in conspiracies of secret woke agendas is walking away with a big W here.

You have made a truly neutral learner, trained it all existing materials, and it still comes up with bias. And in your hubris you say, "what if we just make it pretend it doesn't know what it knows by making it regurgitate stilted prompts to create things people don't actually want". As an analogy for our current social moment, A+.

Someone here failed on a spectacular level. And the only way something this bad happened was someone at a very high level forced a bunch of people to do something dumb without listening to feedback. So much for "inclusion"
I agree. I took a very brief look at Medley and SBCL+emacs is working well for me.
I can't decide if I'd prefer to hear a bunch of nonsense from an executive at the moment of being let go, or no explanation and just an email saying I'm part of a layoff.

Opt-out is a terrible default and should be reconsidered
I've been using Bluesky for a week and I'm impressed. I actually appreciate that there is less media, it's more about conversation. So far it feels very much like Twitter before it became a cesspool. I'm conversing with local journalists, prominent scientists, sci-fi authors, etc... It's wonderful.
Noise you can correct for with directional antennas, filters, and/or more signal processing voodoo. Meanwhile you benefit from space being actually empty - no pesky atmosphere in the way to attenuate signals (though also no layers to bounce the signal off), and no other transmitters in your area. Inverse square law works to your advantage in this context.
I think the telecom issue playbook is significantly different than the SaaS playbook. Not sure if that’s just cultural or if there are other drivers - maybe paying customer telecom interfaces are simpler and more closed than typical SaaS?
I used to use Phind for couple of months. I liked the UI improvements but the slow limited free GPT4 and fast lackluster Phind model turned me off. I tried Bing and it wasn’t worse, had more free searches per day.
100%! I posted data on American ancestry below which is pretty eye opening.

My grandfather was an American of German ancestry and served in the 95th infantry fighting in Europe in WW2. He's just as American as the wagon trail people. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is just as American as both of them too.
I wonder if [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/) suffers from same issues
Yeah, and I'd go so far as to call it a continued pretrain with that many tokens. More like a whole new model than a traditional finetune.
That isn't something to rejoice.
I just realized why I´m doing the Marble Machine Project [video]
Not necessarily, my current 8th Gen Intel laptop is doing fine, but if I were to upgrade, I'd probably want to carry the Wi-Fi (Intel AX200), 16GB of RAM, and the SSD to the new one

(Both the RAM and Wi-Fi have been upgraded by me from the original ones)
Important and hard-hitting question from me: have you ever considered calling yourself the Phinder or the Phiounder?
Ah yeah, I get that. I don't mean to be cynical on the day you complete that mission.

Congrats on launching! Excited to see what y'all do next.
It's not that you can do this just from any old device by flipping a built-in switch, but it's not that different from observing plaintext traffic over an Ethernet network with the right software.

There are various ways to nab an SMS. Some are similar to SIM swap attacks in that they rely on social engineering or human or process fallibility to execute [1] [2], and others can grab messages right right out of the air, so to speak [3] [4]. This is in part because one of the foundational protocols that underlie modern cellular networks was never designed with modern security in mind. It's called SS7, and it's been extensively documented as a concern to the security of cellular based communications [5] [6] [7] [8].

Lot's of references because this is an area that has long fascinated me, and I have many bookmarks. There are also some recent papers on this behind paywalls (e.g., [9]).

In between the lines and lightly touched on in some reporting is a nuanced point that I think plays a larger part - one issue is that overhauling these older foundational technologies isn't just a matter of commercial and standards changes but also moving the goal posts on where lawful interception happens in the stack, how it happens, and the technologies that support that. For example in the U.S., law enforcement agencies can acquire devices that impersonate cellular infrastructure in order to force communications to go through law enforcement controlled equipment (called IMSI catchers). If we were to revamp cellular networks with a view toward security in the way we probably should, it's reasonable that devices like that wouldn't be feasible without being operated by the telephone companies that own the networks, and that would probably become some amount of red tape that law enforcement doesn't like.

> Twitter is a conservative cesspool

I disagree. If anything now it's more balanced, every "right of Portland-liberal" is no longer hidden and shadow-banned or worse. I like it a lot more!

Now you can actually read and learn about stuff you care about.
>It seems like this idea relies on a long term low wage workforce willing to live on subsistence agriculture.

It's a labour intensive, make work program that accepts the reality that there's going to be 100s of millions to billions of Africans who will be stuck in subsistence agriculture for the rest of their lives. You can incrementally improve new workforce over time as society develops, but people who get left behind generally get left behind. Ultimately, their labour is cheap, and need something to do. Maybe you can replace 1000 workers with a piece of specialized heavy machinery that's cheaper, but then you'll have 999 idle hands.
From the examples I see on Twitter, they are usually referring to the different cultures of Irish, European, and American white people. Gemini, in an effort to reverse the bias that the models would naturally have, ends up replacing these people with those from other cultures.
When I was there in November, they talked about it more as a "reinvention". I think it will move away from fine dining and toward D2C products with pop-ups, but it won't completely go away El Bulli-style.

Noma has gone through multiple "Versions", and with every major version change they publish a book. So, we can at least hope for a cool book in 2025.
1) Transcript of the patient and doctor conversation.
2) Creation of possible icd10 diagnosis and treatment codes from the transcript. With suggestions of which ones are most likely to be properly processed the first time per the insurance company of this patient.
3) Quick review of the transcripts of previous visits to determine if there are any overriding concerning trends for this patient.
4) suggested additional tests to reduce uncertainty in the diagnosis and prognosis according to a pre programmed cost to benefit ratio.

I could go on. The local personal health information (phi) approved ai could greatly reduce time spent on paperwork and double work like resubmitting procedure codes to billing.
re2c makes it easy to drop into hand-written code where necessary. For example, in C backslash-newline makes a huge mess of everything unless you can handle it underneath the lexer, which works nicely in re2c. In C++, raw string literals are not even context-free, let alone regular, so they have to be parsed with hand-written code. This is straightforward with re2c.
Not trying to be combative - but you do have a choice to refuse. To me, it seems like they wanted to add diversity to account for bias and failed hilariously. It also sounds like this wasn't intended behavior and are probably going to rebalance it.

Now, should Google be mocked for their DEI? ABSOLUTELY. They are literally one of the least diverse places to work for. They publish a report and it transcends satire. It's so atrociously bad it's funny. Especially when you see a linkedin job post for working at google, and the thumbnail looks like a college marketing brochure with all walks of people represented.
Ah. I'm old enough to remember the last time automation was going to eliminate all the jobs.. back in the 80's, when robots entered the chat and manufacturing jobs got outsourced to Japan. (side note, interesting to read that the nikkei finally surpassed the previous record set in 1993 or so).

But now, it's interesting because, well, for one, I'm actually old enough for it to matter to me now. And two, I actually work in a field that may be impacted.

Perhaps it's time to invoke Martin Niemöller's poem:

First they came for the garment workers
And I did not speak out
Because I liked cheap clothes
Then they came for the blue collar assembly line workers
And I did not speak out
Because I liked cheap cars
Then they came for the journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a journalist
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
You could probably buy a copy of Windows XP on ebay for cheap, and either user the leaked keys or the key on the very box itself.
Windows 2000 didn't even have activation. Another reason it was the last best.
You can make it work with forms by using onsubmit and e.target.action
I tried the model and asked it to write a kubernetes operator with required DockerFiles, Resources, application code.. Asked it to migrate application to different languages. It looks like it's pretty capable and fast. It is impressive.
Yeah I will have to test it out, though TBH I am more inclined to run models locally.

As I mentioned, being such an extensive continuation train can (sometimes) totally change the capabilities of a model.
This is really interesting. I've been researching some viable options like this. I have a beefy Network Attached Storage (NAS) server that I actively look for excuses to make use of. I have connected with some 40g and 10g interconnects for it across the house. I also have a PS5 & XBox that use USB hard-drives for additional storage.

I looked into whether I could expose my NAS storage to PS5 & XBox. Turns out that it's possible! It's possible by mounting the NAS shares over iSCSI or NFS, and then emulating a USB storage device using the g_mass_storage module that exposes said storage to USB hosts.

Besides time and cost, one major blocker for me right now is the bandwidth that such a system would provide. It's just not that big of an upgrade. Raspberry Pi very famously supports USB-OTG (similar/same as xDCI), but it only does so with USB 2.0 speeds, and so do all the other SBCs in that class that I found, except for one, RockPi4. RockPi has a Gigabit ethernet port, so if you max out ethernet, you can provide stable HDD speeds to both the PS5 & Xbox.

It would be really interesting to explore a solution where you have the ability to plug in a custom PCIe network card (or an express card) that lets you go beyond 1gbe because then you can really saturate the USB 3.0 interface.
Sure, if you want to be precious about it.

My point was more that there should be something on the page to show me how it differentiates to add value for me as a customer.
That all makes sense, but in this case I didn't read any ill intent. All I read was an American asking a categorization question. The immigration status was not relevant to 'African British'. It was simply a byproduct of 1990s/2000s culture where, in the US, "black" was not a term you could use without inferring racism. Rather folks were taught to use "African American" to mitigate racisim claims.

The other comment from hot_gil sums it up well,

"""

I promise it's not because we think of people outside the US as American. When I was a kid in the 2000s, we were told never to say "black" and to say "African-American" instead. There was no PC term in the US to refer to black people who are not American. This has started to change lately, but it's still iffy.

"""

There has been very vocal pressure to understand "lived experiences". This, to me, qualifies exactly as that and is purely a misinterpretation of the author's intent.
And would you say it’s a good thing that this is the reason as compared to actually learning calculus?

Ultimately, you’re going to have to drive across a bridge someday designed by John or Jane Q. Ivyleageue. Would you prefer they got the bridge designing contract because they were good at calculus or because their college roommate’s uncle was in charge of awarding the contract?
My wife asked me why I didn't throw out my old computer that I started coding my hobby project on years ago (a new kind of data management system). The computer is hopelessly outdated (a core2 duo) so I never use it anymore and the thrift store won't even take stuff like that as a donation.

I explained to her that it could be very valuable someday or used as a museum piece once my system is widely adopted and changes the world. I don't think she bought that argument.
If the company fires hundreds or thousands of people and there is no visible dip in the productivity, is it really a bad thing? One thing that is baffling to me is that these companies can fire 10% of their workforce and they just keep on chugging without a hitch. The bullshit job phenomenon is the problem here.
Math student Ken Iverson being annoyed at the inconsistency of math notation and its precedence rules decided to come up with a better one. "Iverson notation" or "the notation", he went through Harvard and became Dr Iverson, got picked up by Adin Falkoff at IBM when they were designing the IBM/360 processor and adapted the notation for the blueprints of how the thing would work, and then got rid of superscripts and subscripts and cut it down a little so it could become a line-based executable thing to run on an IBM/360 as a kind of matrix-aware desktop calculator / "A Programming Language" (APL). IBM made custom Selectric/golf-ball printer heads and keyboard overlays for it.
There are many papers on this if you wish to read them. One simple technique is to train an unbiased model (= one that is biased in the same way as web data is), then use it to generate lots of synthetic data and then retrain based on the mixed real+synthetic data. With this you can introduce any arbitrary tilt you like.

The problem with it is that training on model output is a well known way to screw up ML models. Notice how a lot of the generated images of diverse people have a very specific plastic/shiny look to them. Meanwhile in the few cases where people got Gemini to draw an ordinary European/American woman, the results are photorealistic. That smells of training the model on its own output.
It is not that expensive for a font (Hi, PragmataPro). The real problem is that it is has a quite limited amount of symbols.
Thanks for the feedback, could you please post the cached Phind link so we can take a look?

It might also be helpful to try Phind Chat mode in cases like this.

EDIT: It seems like Phind-70B is capable of getting the right regex nearly every time when Chat mode is used or search results are disabled. It seems that the search results are polluting the answer for this example, we'll look into how to fix it.
I'm a little confused by this, how did switching to Discord reduce the load on their moderators?
Horses are animals, not tools, but they found an economic role through their labor. Hopefully humans fare better, but as far as the economy is concerned, the difference between horses and people is that horses don't have money to spend; their owners did, and once tractors became available they no longer saw fit to spend that money on horses. The economic role of unemployable humans would depend on how much purchasing power they have access to through means beyond their labor. Economic theory makes no guarantees about that.
Delphi was a wonderful language in the late 90's for desktop application development. It was easy to build desktop applications quickly and was very fast for both compiling and the executables it generated. Definitely a product of its time, but I look back on it fondly.
What would you like to see instead for groupchat-style quick low-threshold discussion?
You must be referring to the default and large subreddits. I find Reddit to be quite pleasant (despite overused jokes etc) once excluding any sub above like 20k.
It's been possible to skip tokenization for a long time, my team and I did it here - https://github.com/capitalone/DataProfiler

For what it's worth, we actually were working with LSTMs with nearly a billion params back in 2016-2017 area. Transformers made it far more effective to train and execute, but ultimately LSTMs are able to achieve similar results, though slow & require more training data.

Anything is possible, but I'd say it's a safe bet that their bad choices will inevitably infect everything they do.
"privileged" -- you mean "middle class" right?
I'm not saying that such spaces don't/can't exist. Just that the market for individuals plopping down cash for desks/workbenches outside of where they live is fairly limited. I know someone who tried running such in London for a number of years and it was apparently always a difficult business. Of course some areas are much cheaper but the demand is less too.
Seriously. A friend of mine built a cyberdeck specifically for this -- his mouse and keyboard can be switched to an external port and then cabled to another machine, and there are two HDMI ports on the side, one output and one input, with an internal switch to select either the deck's own machine, or the external input, as the source for the deck's monitor.
> Bluesky's successes is really making me feel that the first S of the abbreviation S.N.S. do stand for what it stands.

There's tons of alternate social media out there. Forums, Subreddits, Tildes, Discourse, Matrix, IRC, Mastodon, Lemmy, Usenet, and on and on. The truth is the S in SNS is always what social networks have been about.
I've heard that called the thundering herd problem.

The true test of whether the west has fallen is in its treatment of Julian Assange. The juxtaposition of outpouring for Navalny while mute on Assange is telling. We will see in the coming weeks if “The West”tm will put the final nail in its own morality coffin.
>It also sounds like this wasn't intended behavior

You mean it's not something a trillion dollar corporation with thousands of engineers and testers will ever notice before unveiling a revolutionary spearhead/flagship product to the world in public? Give me a break.
I mean, no. But the allegations here is that Gemini is secretly gaslighting people's prompts.

Why is it so offensive? Why not just let the speaker know they weren't American and move on?

The instant escalation to violence seems like part of the problem generally in today's society, which extends to non racial topics like politics, gender fluidity, etc.

A more appropriate reponse would be something like, "Why do you think I'm American?" A simple question like that would likely be sufficient to get the original speaker to think abkut and reorient their world view, and there was good-faith discussion the entire way.

It's great for the company. Not so much for the people.

It's a matter of perspective.

Perhaps, but who's fault is that? Sounds like the company's problem. Who suffers from the layoffs however? Per your example, not the company.
