You’ll take my kotlin from my cold dead hands

I am not! I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Very neat project.

No I’m just someone with a particular interest in corvids who feels represented by a god of Thought that is a bird

What a mediocre story

If it’s not using GCM then it must be long polling, unless signal servers are set up to use a 3rd form of push (APNS for iOS, GCM for Android)

Vista was a nightmare 8 was awful

Windows has consistently released 1 good, 1 bad for a long time now.

The thing is I think win11 is terminal. It’s just forever windows because they can milk it for ads without needing to iterate.

As an off instance user: great decisions! Strong migration makes for strong communities.

And now with the US included - https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy?time=1870..latest&country=OWID_WRL~CHN~RUS~USA

Which China surpassed thanks to the idiotic way the USA handled COVID.

Kalih Choc are great. I like that plan.

Thanks for the clarification on reputable vendors! I’ve always wondered where the right place to buy lithium was.

I’m not able to watch the video at the moment: is it ARM instead?

I think arm architecture are only going to become more prevalent with the success of the M line macs

I’m not sure how much the tiktok ban will be balkanization so much as just the death of the product. It’s popular in the EU but not nearly to the extent as the US market.

No idea who would step into tiktok’s shoes in the advent of a ban. Hopefully not any of the big players - their offerings all blow compared to TT.

It works everywhere on the other phone OS 😉

Aka if you void your warranty and crack your phone OS - something that Apple fights at every turn. If you run your phone in unsafe and unfriendly ways then you can do something Android supports natively by default.

See! They’re totally the same guys! Buy iPhones 🤡

Sure: here’s the article.

The basics are that:

1. LLM “emergent behavior” has never been consistent, it has always been specific to some types of testing. Like taking the SAT saw emergent behavior when it got above a certain number of parameters because it went from missing most questions to missing fewer.

2. They looked at the emergent behavior of the LLM compared to all the other ways it only grew linearly and found a pattern: emergence was only being displayed in nonlinear metrics. If your metric didn’t have a smooth t transition between wrong, less wrong, sorta right, and right then the LLM would appear emergent without actually being so.

I think increasingly specialized models and analog systems that run them will be increasingly prevalent.

LLMs at their current scales don’t do enough to be worth their enormous cost… And adding more data is increasingly difficult.

That said: the gains on LLMs have always been linear based on recent research. Emergence was always illusory.

I generally feel like the opposite is true. I have more stability issues because of the weird half fucked hacks that I’ve installed over 7 different attempts to use the CLI to make my computer hallucinate small rainbow dogs.

Sure but interpretations like pilot wave have more evidence against them than for them and while multiverse is deterministic it’s only technically so. It’s effectively probabilistic in that everything happens and therefore nothing is determined strictly by current state.

Thats not what happens with a nuke - they threaten the owner and take everything: backups included.

I mean Nintendo would nuke the forums too.

Their lawyers don’t fuck around. They’re as bad as Disney.

Unless you’re a forum hosted in someplace like the Netherlands or Russia you’re in range for Nintendo’s nukes.

Fair - it’s not that we know it’s not: it’s that we don’t know that it is.

Probabilistic is equally likely as deterministic - we’ve found absolutely nothing disproving probabilistic models. We’ve only found reinforcement for those models.

It’s unintuitive to humans so of course we don’t want to believe it. It remains to be seen if it’s true.
