Qwerky: Attention is not what you need? RWKV mashed into QwQ models
This blog post and results were very surprising to me. Featherless AI has been doing some pretty in depth research around using existing model weights but throwing away the transformer and replacing with RWKV. Which is lighter on memory, better at long context and a fundamentally different architecture - it does not scale up quadratically with context length.

Their method:

* Keep the old model as a teacher
* Copy it, freeze all layers
* Rip out the transformer layers
* Inject new RWKV layers there
* Train against og model as a teacher
* Unfreeze entire new model, train against teacher
* Train for long context

Their tests were done with a tiny number of tokens for training, like 200-500m total. Results: interesting! It’s definitely better than QwQ on some tasks, and worse on a few.

The super interesting result here is that it seems as if most of the knowledge and intelligence is kept in the feed forward part of the network, not the transformer, since it can be replaced, and the replacement can be trained relatively quickly. That’s super super fascinating.
And I'm saying a ton of those "incorrect decisions/errors of judgement" would no longer exist if we had superhuman LIDAR abilities.

You're using existing human vision as your baseline, which is not the right comparison here. The question is a baseline of superhuman abilities. So there's a ton of accidents we wouldn't get into if we had those superhuman abilities.

Basically everything involving a collision with an object we weren't aware of in time because it wasn't in our limited field of view and wasn't well-lit, that could have been avoided if we had been. Which is a decent proportion of accidents.

But the bigger, original point is that LIDAR is better than cameras, and better for avoiding accidents.

Your assumption is that the challenge or concern about regulation is the difficulty of dealing with vagueness. As I pointed out, this is not the case, but the hesitancy and destructive power of imposing your will on others.

Hope I cleared up the confusion.

I am not - and did not make the claim. I am explaining why you are seeing engineers care more about vagueness in one context than another.

I think a judge would also demand a consistent principle and definition to guide regulation.

The CERN experiments and CERN IT have contributed quite a lot to open source. Part of this is necessity: when your experiment draws thousands of collaborators from hundreds of institutions and dozens of different funding agencies it's really difficult to deal with licensing fees.

Scientific Linux is discontinued, though. A few experiments went to CentOS and (when that was moved to CentOS Stream) to AlmaLinux. But practically speaking the OS the experiments are using is a RHEL-like base with almost everything important overwritten via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, etc. and pointing to a fuse-mounted file system called cvmfs

https://github.com/cvmfs/cvmfs

For better or worse this allows O(weekly) releases that change what would normally be core components of the OS.

It's kind of weird how all the interesting stuff at CERN is linux and open source, and then all the IT infrastructure is outdated MS services and Windows.
This is absolutely incredible: surprising amount of consistency and the whole thing live-generated. It’s incredible how quickly we can get inured to technology that would have been sheer magic when I was younger.

The important thing about LIDAR is not so much that it is reporting a distance, but that it is reporting distances to actual objects. Cameras don't distinguish objects and so there has to be a lot of processing to try to tease out the objects from the background and this appears to be what's causing issues with Teslas.

This seems such an out of place comment when looking back at the last year's progress in generative AI
I wonder whether it'll be possible to compress enough of the game to make (almost) every possible scenario that you could encounter in the game be playable. Same issue that the previous AI experiment for Minecraft and others had is that objects and enemies seem to pop in and out of nowhere. Could the "learned" probability be high enough for this never to be an issue? You ever think you're seeing something in real life but it's just an optical illusion, it kinda feels like that to me. Obviously this still requires an entire game to be made before you can train on it, but could maybe open up other development and testing of games.
Cameras-only self-driving should be subject to heightened scrutiny and banned on public streets until it has met it. This can be done by e.g. California, New York, Canada and the EU.

> Human attention is scarce. Demand for that attention is endless. Scarcity + demand creates a natural market by default, meaning you must use brutal authoritarianism to disrupt it entirely

This logic is just bad, plain and simple. You know what else has a high demand? Drugs.

So I guess fuck it, right? Sell heroin in Walmart, who cares. It's a "natural market". Of course people want to shoot up, it feels fucking amazing and humans are hard-wired to do shit that makes them feel good.

So let's just give up and do nothing. Yeah, in fact go ahead and advertise heroin on TVs. Yeah, go ahead and give it to infants too, let's get them young. After all, it's a natural market or something.

Please, I am begging you, stop bending over so severely for "markets". Sit back, and think about consequences.

Funny you should say that, because the AI Doom demo was 8 months ago and in that time we seemingly haven't got any closer to making novel games. This Quake 2 demo is yet again just a wonky version of a pre-existing game, attempting to be a 1:1 copy of the original, rather than extrapolating something like Quake 2 that isn't literally Quake 2 again.

Using an HP 3000 at a local college via teletype terminal during summer gifted & talented program.

The school eventually got some TRS-80s, and I did a summer program where we passed an Apple ][ off as a robotics program, and I mowed grass summers and eventually bought a Commodore Vic-20 and later a TRS-80 Pocket Computer PC-1 (in retrospect, should have waited and gotten the Model 100).

Got Inman's book on Apple Machine Language, and a couple of other programming books, and lots of magazines (including one which had the ad "We See Farther" ad: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object/nmah_11970... ) and typed in lots of program listings for games and so forth, and used Scripsit for my senior term paper.

Bought a 128K Mac and pretty much one of everything in the store, then switched to Windows 'cause I wanted a portable device, until the NCR-3125 and Go Corp.'s PenPoint came out --- paired that w/ a NeXT Cube which got me through college and was pretty much the high-water mark of my graphical computing experience.

The AI/semiconductor trade has popped, but I don’t think tech companies basing their business model on it has.

What I think you are suggesting is that it’s possible for companies to move on from AI hype without a dotcom-level correction. More akin to the way the metaverse and NFTs did. And maybe you aren’t wrong.

I was a pre-teen in 2000, so while I remember the hype, froth and general ridiculousness of the late 1990s (was just explaining Priceline for groceries to someone yesterday), I don’t remember the particulars of how big it got or quickly it ended.

As a product with use cases AI seems more comparable to the internet than the metaverse and NFTs though.

If the USD ceases being the reserve currency, inflation goes up. Fed's neutral rate of interest 2% = the floor of inflation rate. For the third world countries, the natural interest rate = Fed's interest rate (or American inflation rate) + the local inflation rate. That's why third world countries pay more interest rate s in their own currencies; that's why they want to borrow in USD.

There are multiple aspects and opportunities/limits to the problem.

The real history on this is that people are copying OpenAi.

OpenAI supported MQTTish over HTTP, through the typical WebSockets or SSE, targeting a simple chat interface. As WebSockets can be challenging, the unidirectional SSE is the lowest common denominator.

If we could use MQTT over TCP as an example, some of this post could be improved, by giving the client control over the topic subscription, one could isolate and protect individual functions and reduce the attack surface. But it would be at risk of becoming yet another enterprise service bus mess.

Other aspects simply cannot be mitigated with a natural language UI.

Remember that dudle to Rice's theorm, any non-trivial symantic property is undecidable, and will finite compute that extends to partial and total functions.

Static typing, structured programming, rust style borrow checkers etc.. can all just be viewed as ways to encode limited portions of symantic properties as syntactic properties.

Without major world changing discoveries in math and logic that will never change in the general case.

ML is still just computation in the end and it has the same limits of computation.

Whitelists, sandboxes, etc.. are going to be required.

The open domain frame problem is the halting problem, and thus expecting universal general access in a safe way is exactly equivalent to solving HALT.

Assuming that the worse than coinflip scratch space results from Anthropomorphic aren't a limit, LLM+CoT has a max representative power of P with a poly size scratch space.

But yes, several of the agenic hopes are long shots.

Even Russel and Norvig stuck to the rational actor model which is unrealistic for both humans and PAC Learning.

Navarro is still a professor emeritus at UC Irvine.

That's just an honorary title, and at most places can be revoked for sufficient damage to the university's reputation. This would seem to be the case, especially because at least one of the books with the fake economics expert seems to have been written while he was still an active faculty member there.

His association with Irvine has been mentioned on national news, and although folks in academia may not realize that the general public thinks "professor emeritus" means he's still associated with the university, they're going to learn really quickly.
