Maverick looks comparable to Claude 3.7 and Gemini pro 2.5 in terms of quality but orders of magnitude cheaper. Am I missing something?

Is it possible to use Groq to run these new models in Cline or Roo?
Very curious to hear feedback from someone watching it for their first time ~30 years after its release. I watched it incessantly around the time it came out but haven't watched it much since - queued it up for the coming weeks.

As a hiring manager, if I was on the fence, knowing someone I'm not thrilled with has an offer makes me try to figure out what I/we missed and I would reexamine potential gaps in our recruiting processes with the candidate, which are always wrought with biases. And luck is such a big factor (on both the company- and candidate-side) in getting a positive signal.

Let's start with banning the sharing/selling of customer data, tracking data, or anything else that can be aggregated to form some idea of a targetable resource.

That's not what would happen.

You'd just end up with diverse companies consolidating into single companies and advertising just as much as before, but for their own products in their own media properties.

Coca-Cola will merge with a movie studio and a television network and a billboard company to put its product placement and ads everywhere in properties it just simply owns. Probably merging with Proctor-Gamble or Unilever while it's at it.

BetterHelp will merge with a bunch of supplements companies and purchase a bunch of top podcast studios, so top podcasts will continue to advertise the same exact things as before.

And so on.

It's wishful thinking to suppose that companies wouldn't find ways around this. Advertising is that powerful and important that it'll be worth it to them.

> A company’s goal is to hire someone who will become an effective employee and produce more value than their cost.

This isn't true. They have no clue how to measure your value output. A company's goal is to make sure it has the staff to get its work done so it can sell its thing. A hiring manager's goal is to find someone to do the thing they don't have time/staff for. They will pay somewhere in the realm of whatever the market pays, depending on the "philosophy" of the hiring manager, engineering director, finance people, etc.

I recently interviewed for two jobs in different locations. Both remote, both companies in mid-tier locations in terms of salary. Same type of job, same kind & size of company, same tech, same problems to solve. One was offering 40K more than the other. I wasn't going to produce 40K more value for one than the other. Hiring and salary is just not a very smart process. They have the budget they have, and the market is what it is.
Evolution is saving them, it seems. The ones that survive spread a tumor immunity gene. (Probably irrelevant as a strategy for nurses.)
This seems like a solution looking for a problem. Can't you just share your model's hash when releasing it? This is exactly what happens when someone like Mistral share a magnet link to their model. It's just a hash.

The RAM requirements for storing the parameters are set by the total, not active, parameters. Llama4 Scout is 109B model, so, at Int4 quantization, it will require ~55GB for the model. With 64GB, you could probably run it, but I would imagine not with a very large context size.

Well, Scout should run on the rumored 96GB 4090, since it runs on a single 80GB H100. But, yeah, it'd have to be at sub-2bit quantization to run on a standard 24GB.
The last release being «Version 6.4.0 released 2022 12 30», links from 2007 and 2012 do not lend much assurance that the project is still alive in 2025 – compared to other similar projects.

Also note that HAMMER (the previous design) and HAMMER2 (the current design, since 2018) are two distinct, incompatible file system designs. I am not sure what is the value of mentioning the previous and abandoned design in the this context.
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine who has an audio-engineering background about this sort of thing recently. Something to the effect of, even if you program in the exact waveforms a TR-808 was attempting to synthesize into a digital synth, the digital synth wouldn't sound like a TR-808 because the TR-808 had slight noise and flaws in its analog circuitry, so in order to get a true emulation you had to account for those too. And that's part of why 80s music sounded so distinctive, in a way that's difficult to replicate today... it was a sound that came from the specific equipment used at the time, equipment which is much harder to source and simulate in the present.
I’m sure this works for some people. Personally I loathe social interaction of any kind, and mixing that with engineering gets me to my mental/emotional limits much faster.

For what it's worth, I would prefer to have a summary as well, rather than listening to Tucker Carlson and someone on his show for an hour and a half. I read his book, Ship of Fools, years ago and what I gathered was that he saw a lot of the same general negatives as the next person and made a lot of sense; but his solution was always an ethnostate, veiled or otherwise, to fix everything - or I suppose "immigration is the harm" and "people not like us", etc.

If there's useful information from what he says, I'd love to hear it, but I don't want to hear the other half again as it's exhausting.

That’s exactly what this is:

> Finally, the statement itself contains subjects which are a list of (file path, digest) pairs a predicate type set to https://model_signing/signature/v1.0 and a dictionary of predicates. The idea is to use the predicates to store (and therefor sign) model card information in the future. The verification part reads the sigstore bundle file and firstly verifies that the signature is valid and secondly compute the model's file hashes again to compare against the signed ones.

It’s important to remember that these models tend to be released as multiple files so a single hash is insufficient (unless you do a hash of hashes).

Yes, let's mention the middle class squeeze, but also conveniently not talk about America's tipping culture problem which would increase reluctance to sit down at a restaurant. Yes, let's completely ignore that.

Everyone obviously wants to pay extra so they can be constantly badgered and rushed out the door like cattle, and if you complain about any aspect of this, the white knights come out to drown you as they say it's your fault for not understanding the plight of the woe-is-me restaurant worker and there's absolutely nothing to be done other than shame you into not going out to eat.

I wonder why sit-down restaurants are declining.
Pretty sure this is largely related to the industry and type of position you're applying for, and whether it's a big or small company.

At a big company with known positions (e.g. junior, mid-range, and senior devs), salaries for each of those positions may fall within a narrow range with little to no leeway. At a smaller company, where roles are more amorphous, starting salary may span a huge range depending on your specific qualifications, how their business is going, etc.

> The model wasn't trained on those languages (yet).

It probably has been trained on them (it was trained on 40 trillion tokens covering 200 languages, they almost certainly didn't avoid CJK languages.

They only have been further fine-tuned on a set of 12 languages. (I wonder if that is the set the base Behemoth model both are distilled from had been trained on when they were distilled; Behemoth is apparently not completely finished, and perhaps there will be further revisions of the distilled models as it is.)
To make some progress in ML you might not need a lot of theory, but to understand why things work – you absolutely do. Moreover, the DL field as a whole desperately needs theories explaining what’s going on in these large models.
I don't think everyone is trying to be polite, I've developed a distinct impression that you're trying to be hurtful. Which, I might add, appears to be a response to running out of substantive points.

You'll notice my response to the thread going long was more arguments. It keeps the discussion more respectful when people only push on when they have arguments to make. Not the only option, but insinuation specifically is a weak long term strategy. As are insults, for that matter.

Most crashes today are not actually caused by physical memory degradation, but rather by the bugs in software. So "memory corruption detector" is not going to help much. If a program tries to read invalid pointer and segfaults, cryptographic sums or memory compression won't help you. And with Assembly and C, there will be plenty of invalid pointers.

The "rolls back from [...] crashes in real time" does sound new and reminds me of PhantomOS. I do wonder how it deals with corruption that does not induce crashes right away - say there was a use-after-free in app that caused random memory writes... after corrupting 50 words it corrupted enough to trigger crash. Is it just going to undo that one last write, leaving the other 49 words corrupted? What about lock-ups, which do not cause crashes?

And all the talk about "machines which protect company behind them", "coexisting with AI" just smells of inexperience/naivete. How on earth compressed memory is going to help with that?

Also, "I’m tired of OSes that die quietly." makes me wonder.. could it be that all your experience is with commercial OSes, and you've never researched that part of Linux? Because Linux does not have to die quietly, there are many mechanisms (like serial console, kdump, pstore, netconsole, etc...) that give you detailed report when your system dies, with stack trace and all. I've used them in the past and they work pretty well. If you haven't played with them, given them a try! If anything, this will give you an important insight about how modern OSes work and why they crash.

I think we may be talking at cross purposes. I specifically used the number one because it behaves like a unit here. unlike 2 or any other number, 1 is also the standard 1D unit vector, so 1apples is indeed the same quantity as apples/1, but because it is a unit we usually imply its presence rather than express it explicitly as above.

watts/unit thus seems fine to me, whatever the unit may be, even if it itself is derived from time. watts per day would just work out to joules/second/1/24*60*60, making 1 watts per day a derived unit that expresses joules/84600 seconds, or an instantaneous rate of one 84600th of a joule.
> That's false. Everything comes down to good leadership. Monarchies with good leadership very well might have incredibly effective anti-corruption techniques and competency. China is managing a billion people and their infrastructure and tech is incredible.

Can you name a monarchy that is nearly as free, safe, and prosperous as advanced democracies? That is less corrupt? Is China? (No.)

> These things are a result of culture, not a result of the government itself.

How do you explain all the cultures around the world with successful democracies that meet my descriptions? How about Taiwan and (formerly) Hong Kong - same cultures as communist China, far more free, prosperous, non-corrupt, safe ....

There is also the issue of rights. What right does someone have to rule me without my consent? Who the heck are they, other than thugs with guns?
Making advertising non tax deductible has the effect of making it marketing ~20% more expensive, which would lead to about 20% less marketing. But not really. It doesn't really cost YouTube anything to play an add, so YouTube ads get 20% cheaper, and you see the same amount of ads.

Also this would be hard to implement. Tax law has a hard time discriminating costs. What if all the marketing is done by an Irish subsidiary?
Honestly, I’d have no issue with banning advertising. Truth in advertising laws don’t seem to have any effect at all, and spaced repetition combined with targeting is pretty much the most vile thing I’ve ever seen.
There was a biography that came out, I believe roughly around 2004, that was revealed to have significant fabrications. The excuse making for it revolved around the notion of "lying to reveal a greater truth".

Is it free forever for all features because the creators just want to provide something to society?

It probably makes a bit more sense when you think about the fact that SSH frequently does a "try to match this host against a list of configured host-patterns" operation. In that case, "first match" is the obvious thing to do.
The main reason it's near impossible to bit-bang USB is that all devices to are required to use one of a few fixed clock rates (1.5 MHz, 12 MHz and 480 MHz), unlike SPI and I²C which allow variable/dynamic clock rates.

If you simply remove this restriction, bit-banging USB would become trivial, even with all the other protocol complexity.

Though, I think USB made the right call here. The requirement to support any clock speed the device requested would add a lot of complexity to both hosts and hubs.

Only supporting a few fixed clock-rates makes certification and inter-device compatibility so much easier, which is very important for an external protocol. Supporting bit-banging just isn't that important of a feature, especially when the fixed clock rates really are that hard to implement on dedicated silicon.

> but "we make advertising illegal" is not something that can happen in our system of governance.

Broadly banning "advertising" (under almost any plausible definition that would be reasonably accord with common use) would probably fall afoul off the 1st Amendment as it is today, but our Constitutional system of government includes provision for changing any feature of the Constitution (nominally, except the equal representation of states in the Senate, but that restriction neither protects itself from being amended out, nor protects all the functions of the Senate from being amended out and the equal representation being at zero seats per state, so it is more of a symbolical than substantive restriction.)
