I'm also a foreigner in Berlin, and my guess is twofold:

1. Their German isn't good enough, which limits the pool of people you can connect to

2. They only or mostly hang out in the expat-scene, which limits the pool of people you can connect to

He's shouting his politics through a megaphone, it doesn't take much to recognize it for what it is.

Maybe it's because he's a fascist?

Yeah I completely agree. But this is much larger model than the 8B one they put on a chip, so that's probably an engineering challenge for now. Also, how expensive would it be?

> Unless you have absolute faith that your government will never do something you have a moral objection to, you can never be sure that anything you are, believe or do will not be censored or land you in jail in the future.

Any solution that can convince the Germans, the most privacy obsessed sticklers on the whole planet, has my support by proxy. If they think it's safe enough, it most likely is. Almost no other country has seen the dark side of what you're saying here as much as Germany, first with the Nazis and then in East Germany.

> To the extent that political discourse is shaped by astroturfing

Both Brexit and the Trump election have been significantly impacted by this, and it's not even controversial to observe that.

> Outside interference in the form of legal bribes (lobbying) and sometimes less legal forms of corruption has orders of magnitude more sway over politics than whatever the public may effect in elections.

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean that we should not address the elephant in the room - the seriously degrading impact that social media has on our society.

> It's ridiculous to imply that there was any serious public debate on this.

There was no debate because almost no one in (for example) tech circles is even acknowledging the problem, let alone coming up with a solution. Give me a better solution and I would argue for that instead. The status quo is unacceptable.

Which alternative measures do you propose to counter the society destabilising effects I've described in the original comment?

Because I believe there are none.

This is a very libertarian and ultimately low-trust forum where most people seem to think the government is out to get you, but I have to say: what's so great about having complete online anonymity anyway? I mean, seriously. Real life is not anonymous and consequence free either, why should online life be?

It's not as if there are no downsides. There are, and some of them are so severe that they are impacting the whole of society.

People can impersonate to be 500 or 5000 or 500000 people from another country and all echo some detrimental or even treasonous sentiment, critically influencing and steering voters, which changes politics and election outcomes and thereby the trajectories of whole countries. I cannot understate how serious that is.

If we can make sure that every real person can only have 1 social media account per platform, and if we can check that someone is an adult, and if (and only if) we can do that in a privacy preserving manner... then honestly, I don't see why I would be against that. I'm ok with being held accountable for what I do online. I want to pay that price to prevent the severe outside interference we've seen in elections and in our politics.

You and many others might not be, but it seems like you've lost the argument.

Try doing it at scale for a whole office. Not trivial.

I am convinced that the combination of capable open weight models and specialized hardware will mean that Apple (and other hardware providers) will start shipping computers with built-in, hardwired, "LLM-on-a-chip" cards that are capable enough to meet 90% of your AI needs.

I really believe that in the near-term future we will run our LLMs in hardware, not in software. Hardwire a capable model into a device the size of a graphics card, embed it into a laptop, and you have something that uses less power, does faster inference, doesn't require additional CPU or memory, doesn't cost a monthly fee, and will probably eventually be available for under a (few) hundred bucks.

Whatever topic comes up on this board, if the EU is mentioned people go a bit cray-cray.

If an individual country trains a language model, it's not ambitious enough. If we try to do one for the whole EU they will say it takes too long (you need to get all countries on board, you see). If the EU announces it by executive decision it's a dictatorship and government driven economic intervention, if a EU company does it they'll say it's not good enough.

You can't win with these people. In my opinion, you shouldn't even try to convince them.

Such an inconsiderate and loaded question.

Screening an embryo that could not survive outside the womb and deciding to stop the pregnancy based on the results is not the same as "wishing the kid wasn't born".

I would say that recall is the most important metric here though. I'd want it to catch all the issues.

False positives are easy to ignore.

That's a very concise and illuminating way to think about what's happening, IF (and only if) you already know how these models work. Thanks for that.

Why is Haiku the benchmark though, with code generation don't we primarily care about the quality of the code - not the speed or efficiency at which it's generated?

This is a mostly American forum and some people want to piss on the EU to elevate themselves. Europeans do the same to the US but about politics, health care, work life balance, and quality of life. You know, the stuff that matters :D

> overall embarrassment

You're right, and it's also why this device is such a non sequitur for Apple. Almost all of their successful products are trendsetting and cool (iPhone, mac, airpods), this is one causes embarrassment and I just don't think it's fixable.

Germany went from labour shortage to hiring freezes in like two to three years. This has nothing to do with unions, which have been on a long downward slope for decades. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1356608/trade-unions-ger...

Stop watching Fox News.

So disappointing

Yeah, because (and here's the trick) they are clever and do less work.

Optimizing things usually means "think of a way to do the same thing with less effort".

It's a "you can't tell me what to do" reaction, to be honest.

I wish I could upvote you twice, because that's exactly what's happening.

THANK YOU!

So many people, including very intelligent and well-informed ones, do not understand this. The US gets truly outsized benefits from having the reserve currency.

"The proof is left as an exercise for the reader" comes to mind

Every post about the EU here gets absolutely flooded by negative comments of people who tell me that whatever the EU proposed won't work, governments shouldn't do these things, the proposed legislation is ineffective, it doesn't go far enough, they're just trying to extract money from our successful American companies, and so on and so forth. It's just a neverending diarrhoea of anti-government anti-European underbelly sentiment.

If the people in the Netherlands can do it - where it's flat, windy, and rainy most of the time - then most people in the US can also do it. If it's too hot, go in the mornings.

Did they say "thank you" and "please"?
