He created stuff while getting a lot of money for it.
Now he complains about it? Its just ignorant.
And he has apparently 10 millions and "the couple live both in the US and Australia.". So guess how often he flies around the globe. Guess how much real estate he occupies?
He isn't part of the solution, he is part of the problem.
I learned what i learned due to all the openess in software engineering and not because everyone put it behind a pay wall.
Might be because most of us got/gets payed well enough that this philosophy works well or because our industry is so young or because people writing code share good values.
It never worried me that a corp would make money out of some code i wrote and it still doesn't. AFter all, i'm able to write code because i get paid well writing code, which i do well because of open source. Companies always benefited from open source code attributed or not.
Now i use it to write more code.
I would argue though, I'm fine with that, to push for laws forcing models to be opened up after x years, but i would just prefer the open source / open community coming together and creating just better open models overall.
He worked in well paying jobs, probably traveles, has a car and a house and complains about toxic products etc.
Yes there has to be a discussion on this and yeah he might generally have the right mindset, but lets be honest here: No one of them would have developed any of it just for free.
We all are slaves to capitalism
and this is were my point comes: Extrem fast and massive automatisation around the globe might be the only think pushing us close enough to the edge that we all accept capitalisms end.
And yes i think it is still massivly beneficial that my open source code helped creating something which allows researchers to write easier and faster better code to push humanity forward. Or enables more people overall to have/gain access to writing code or the result of what writing code produces: Tools etc.
@Rob its spam, thats it. Get over it, you are rich and your riches did not came out of thin air.
Yes, but informedly choosing your slavedriver still has merit.
> Extrem fast and massive automatisation around the globe might be the only think pushing us close enough to the edge that we all accept capitalisms end.
There was also a process on how to communicate top secret information, but these idiots prefered to use signal.
I'm completly lost on how you can be surprised by this at all? Trump is in there, tells some FBI faboon to black everything out, they collect a group of people they can find and start going through these files as fast as they can.
"When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king; the palace instead becomes a circus."
Here in the UK we have a thing called the civil service. They are not immune from government meddling but if they are good at anything it's writing and following processes, even under duress.
The Input of an LLM is real data. The n-dimensional space an LLM works in is a reflection of this. Statistical probably speaking there should be a way of knowing when an LLM is confident vs. when not.
"Whenever they get something "right," it's literally by accident." "the random word generator"
First of, the input is not random at all which allows the question how random the output is.
Second, it compresses data which has an impact on that data. Probably cleaning or adjustment which should reduce 'random' even more. It compresses data from us into concepts. A high level concept is more robust than 'random'.
Thinking or reasoning models are also finetuning the response by walking the hyperspace and basically collecting and strengthening data.
We as humans do very similiar things and no one is calling us just random word predictors...
And because of this, "hallucinations -- plausible but factually incorrect outputs" is an absolut accurate description of what an LLM does when it response with a low probability output.
Humans also do this often enough btw.
Please stop saying an LLM is just a random word predictor.
LLMs work by “walking” “hyperspace” ? Don’t try to correct people if you don’t know what you’re talking about. LLMs are quite literally non-deterministic language models, and that’s all they are.
Yes hyperspace: "Hyperspace is a concept from physics and science fiction referring to a higher-dimensional space"
I prefer to write hyperspace instead of n-dimensional.
Feel free to explain to me why you think my description is wrong.
LLMs are not non-deterministic in their nature. We add noise/randomess into specific layers to make them more 'creative'/'engaging' instead of always getting the exact same response we get variations.
Your whole sentence doesn't even contain a real description of what a LLM is. You say 'LLM are random LLMs'.
I explained that in a different comment already, feel free to check them out.
I believe its more about optimization for price and minimum amount of km you need to design something for.
And in regards of screws: If you have too many laypeople doing stupid shit for critical components, you might also think 'lets fix that by adding a barrier'.
Why would that be your problem? Make it a warranty violation, and they can either get it fixed themselves, or pay you money you wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
People of Earth. I AM LRRR, RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8! We will raise your planet's temperature by one million degrees a day, for five days, unless we see McNeal at 9pm tomorrow - 8 central!
With gravitational lensing, this is actually viable! Just send a signal at a gravity sink, and travel at sublight speeds to position yourself in a place where it will be redirected to eventually along a longer path, and you can intercept your own signal! You just have to be really, really lucky.
It is and I said as much. I'm sure these experiments are fun for the creator. From the downvotes I'm getting, I'm sure it's fun for the community too. It was fun for me too the first time. It's not fun if this type of experiments are on the front page every week. There's already a good home for these posts at /show. Pages can reach /show without reaching front page. This could have been one of them. But anyway others here disagree with me. So I'll go take a break now.
I had another idea about the same topic a few weeks ago: Creating a news side which uses the clickbait strategy to only share positive news or mentaly opening up news:
“They Said Immigration Was a Crisis — Then THIS Happened to Jobs, Growth, and Local Communities”
“Everyone Expected Chaos… Instead This City Welcomed Newcomers and Its Economy EXPLODED”
“Doctors, Teachers, Builders: The ‘Immigration Problem’ Quietly Fixed a Problem No One Talks About”
“This ‘Risky’ Policy Was Supposed to Fail — Now Other Countries Are Rushing to Copy It”
“From ‘Unmanageable’ to Unstoppable: How One Tough Challenge Became a Surprising Success Story”
Now he complains about it? Its just ignorant.
And he has apparently 10 millions and "the couple live both in the US and Australia.". So guess how often he flies around the globe. Guess how much real estate he occupies?
