I don't know the whole story, and I'd be interested in the details if you're willing to share. However, I'm a geek who sits online all day, and I don't pay for the top tier of bandwidth available to me. I also see…
I think your comment is well reasoned, but Jevon's doesn't always happen. As an example, the US installed a lot of fiber when the internet took off, but most people were happy with the bandwidth once they could stream…
There's a difference between something being illegal and being able to enforce that law.
If the capability keeps growing significantly, then I agree it's possible the US could hold their significant lead indefinitely. However, capability could plateau or reach a point where most of the market can't tell the…
Lol, that's a good point, but I'm not thrilled with a choice between bubble popping or mandated duopoly.
Presumably, legally operating companies aren't the dominant threat though. So banning open weight models doesn't solve anything.
I think your question is rhetorical, in which case I agree with the sentiment. The US absolutely could (and very well might) make Chinese models illegal, possibly open weight models in general, but all that will do is…
I'm craving something similar, but a smidge more than tab-completion. I'd like to treat the agent as an ephemeral pair programmer. Give the editor some keybind to mark and comment places in the code, and then I edit a…
The problem with regulation is that it won't (can't) solve the problem. You'd have to go totally draconian to stop law breaking people within the US from doing matrix multiplies, and then you'd have to disconnect the US…
It's possible, and I don't have any rigorous studies to say otherwise. I will double down on my claim that even local (open weight) models are pretty good at writing code in my pet languages that are certainly not in…
Yeah, other than addressing the topic of this post (Rust), I was trying to avoid praising or criticizing specific languages. I haven't used C# in more than a decade, but I suspect it and Java are respectable choices. I…
I think we could step back and make a list of programming languages features that are helpful or harmful to LLMs writing code. I don't have a complete list, but things I've thought about: Useful error messages at…
Someone will vibe-code Office and Windows, and he knows it.
I had Muse Glimmer (from Meta / Facebook) quoting OpenAI's safety guidelines to me, and I had Poolside's Laguna (a smaller US company) with thinking traces about obeying Chinese law. Both of those are local models, and…
> A common issue is that it's rarely mentioned on which dataset KL-divergence is computed. It seems the most common dataset is wikitext Thank you for calling this out. Using Wikipedia snippets for these is a terrible…
I can't read Sam's mind, so I don't know the point. I was just trying to answer the other dude's (apparently insincere) question. > I think the release of kimi k3 is definitely arguably dangerous I understand the…
Maybe I'm reading too much between the lines, but I suspect the reason is to rub his nose in the duplicity or naivety depending on how generous you're feeling. Publishing the model would be a confession that he was…
There's a link you can click to see the personal background of the respondents. It's tough to know what "researcher in a field not listed" means, but it's possible that over 60% are not even physicists: 30.8% - A…
I would guess that 99% of Americans have a lower than average understanding of stats. Maybe you meant to use the median instead of the average? (Not every distribution is Normal)
This seems very cool, but I'm not sure I understand exactly what it's doing. Are they making a new speculative drafter for Qwen 3.8 27B? Maybe they're optimizing the MLX code for the decoder itself? Thank you in advance.
Your definition is not useful enough. There are people missing any or all of those, and any or all of those can be approximated by a machine.
I've thought about turning this upside down. To any person who is sure they know what has and doesn't have consciousness: If I say I don't have it, can you prove me wrong? As far as I'm concerned, it's a word without a…
I'm not claiming to have any expertise in this area, but I've got a list of things I try to apply when working with LLMs. Possibly relevant here is, "don't tell the model what NOT to do, show it what TO do". I think…
People over-quantize things, muck with the temperature and other settings based on superstitions or results from models they think are similar. There's lots of ways to make 3.8 27B dumber.
Not that my opinion matters much, but I like Deno. I never tried Bun.
