bt1a··on Anthropic irks White House with limits on models’ use
Everyone spies and abuses individuals' privacy. What difference does it make? (Granted I would agree with you if Anthropic were indeed a foreign based entity, so am I contradicting myself wonderfully?)

Perhaps it's the finetune of Opus/Sonnet/whatever that is being served to the feds that is the source of the refusal :)

bt1a··on I'm absolutely right
I have been using gpt-5 through the API a bit recently, and I somewhat felt this response behavior, but it's definitely confirming to hear this from another. It's much more willing (vs gpt-4*) to tell me im a stupid piece of shxt and to not do what im asking of the initial prompt
bt1a··on I'm absolutely right
I would challenge the utility of this mental model as again they're not simply tracing a "most likely" path unless your sampling methods are trivially greedy. I don't know of a better way to model it, and I promise I'm not trying to be anal here

optimizing for the shortest path from idea to prod sounds a tad warped, if i may

Do you use an application launcher / configuration manager like Lutris to do this? Or do you mean directly through steam? There's a steam game that I play often that tends to work the most frequently with proton hotfix for reasons unknown to me.
bt1a··on Model intelligence is no longer the constraint for automation
i'd wager your benchmark problems require cumbersome arithmetic or are poorly worded / inadequately described. or, you're mislabeling them as basic math and logic (a domain within which LLMs have proven their strengths!)

i only call this out because you're selling it and don't hypothesize* on why they fail your simple problems. i suppose an easily aced bench wouldn't be very marketable

these 3090s are mine. hands off!
bt1a··on # [derive(Clone)] Is Broken
Yet theyre fantastic personal tutors / assistants who can provide a deeply needed 1:1 learning interface for less privileged individuals. I emphasize 'can'. Not saying kids should have them by their side in their current rough around the edges and mediocre intelligent forms. Many will get burned as you describe, but it should be a lesson to curate information from multiple sources and practice applying reasoning skills!
bt1a··on # [derive(Clone)] Is Broken
Well, they're usually told that they're some unicorn master of * languages, frameworks, skillsets, etc., so can you really fault them? :)

bt1a··on Abusing C to implement JSON parsing with struct methods
looks great on mobile, too. it's exceptional at organizing the content's contrast ratios and spacing, my only nitpick is slightly too much color
bt1a··on Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code
It really is best in slot. Owe it to git, which has a particular synergy with a hallucination-prone but correctable system
bt1a··on Just Write
In a selfish sense, the act of writing can be beneficial to one's inner thinking, regardless of the quality of output.
bt1a··on If you believe in "Artificial Intelligence", take five minutes to ask it
You've beautifully put what swirls vaguely in my mind. They're useful, fallible tools with extraordinary function when operating within known and reasonable tolerances of error
bt1a··on DeepSeek-R1
How excellent for a quantized 27GB model (the Q6_K_L GGUF quantization type uses 8 bits per weight in the embedding and output layers since they're sensitize to quantization)
bt1a··on DeepSeek-R1
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B-Q6_K_L.gguf solved this:

In which of the following Incertae sedis families does the letter `a` appear the most number of times?

``` Alphasatellitidae Ampullaviridae Anelloviridae Avsunviroidae Bartogtaviriformidae Bicaudaviridae Brachygtaviriformidae Clavaviridae Fuselloviridae Globuloviridae Guttaviridae Halspiviridae Itzamnaviridae Ovaliviridae Plasmaviridae Polydnaviriformidae Portogloboviridae Pospiviroidae Rhodogtaviriformidae Spiraviridae Thaspiviridae Tolecusatellitidae ```

Please respond with the name of the family in which the letter `a` occurs most frequently

could it be that the rooster/cockadoodledoo is something performed like clockwork in the morning, so the showing framedata also being tangential to time and clocks ? probably not
bt1a··on Using Ghidra and Python to Reverse Engineer Ecco the Dolphin (Dreamcast)
im curious about the process to find that initial buffer address - does that involve entering a few different strings and searching the memory snapshot for those byte patterns ?
bt1a··on Using Ghidra and Python to Reverse Engineer Ecco the Dolphin (Dreamcast)
What is the importance of needing to frame Python as tiny here? The reminder that programming languages are acceptable for small throwaway scripts is appreciated
bt1a··on Microsoft and OpenAI's close partnership shows signs of fraying
Yeah, as someone who had access to gpt-4 early in 2023, the endpoint used to take over a minute to respond and the quality of the responses was mindblowing. Simply too expensive to serve at scale, not to mention the silicon constraints that are even more prohibitive when the organization needs to lock up a lot of their compute for training The Next Big Model. Thats a lot of compute that cant be on standby for serving inference
