desterothx··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
How do they counteract sham relationships/marriages. I assume they have to live together for a certain amount of time or something similar? If the marriage falls apart do they need to return the incentives?

Your spelling reminds me of the old Benedict Cucumberbatch jokes
desterothx··on ChatGPT Pro 500
Also crazy that they're asking for more euros despite the euro being more valuable than usd

>but they are sick of it, not appreciating it, most of the time I win

I agree with not going easy on your kids, but I think it's a good opportunity to motivate them to work together to beat you

desterothx··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
that was rl, not training. its a fraction of the cost

i dont really see strict acceleration, in fact i would say weve kept up roughly the same velocity since the first reasoning models
desterothx··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
the trouble is if i have to review/direct the model, suddenly we go from a 10x increase in speed to a 1-3x increase in speed. sure it will be faster, but im still limited by my reviewing/directing speed, which is slower than usual because I didn't write the code

where is this promotion?
desterothx··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
I think it should, as you dont need to use the encoder layer on the new tokens, you just read the embedding from the cache. that's why cache reads are cheaper
desterothx··on Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after Navier-Stokes
Yeah, just take the EBITDA and suddenly the valuations make sense. Paying money for a vending machine that currently loses money hand over fist is generally not a sound investment strategy
desterothx··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
Yes I have no problems with them looks-wise. They don't build them on parking lots/factory roofs because of efficiency. Good solar panels follow the sun, which isnt really a mechanism practical to setup in a parking lot. maintenance is also a lot easier if you have one field generating a gigawatt of power vs having to service 20 parking lots that generate a gigawatt of power. Also obviously the land itself is cheaper in the countryside. Renewables are operating on relatively thing margins profitability wise, so you really want to make the juice worth the squeeze (the main value being sovereignty from other countries as discussed in the thread)

You don't have to look into the animal kingdom, history works too. No ruling empire has fallen silently and without conflict. Changing the world order always included an aggressive transfer of power
desterothx··on I can't stop thinking about Papua New Guinea
If there is no funding for helping the people coming from the non evangelical sources, i'm sure the people would rather have medicine than keep dying, no matter the indoctrination they receive
desterothx··on Don't let anyone take away your big box of cables
Speaking as a person that had to buy 2 additional psp chargers (my ebook reader uses one too), please throw those onto ebay or your local marketplace instead :)

Well he probably didn't admit the user error part
desterothx··on So you want to use OpenRouter?
I mean that is addressed as well later, even when they do declare the quantization, doesn't mean you'll get better performance than the lower quantized one. I'm guessing they're doing something similar to what stadia was doing, saying you are playing games in 4k, because you're getting a 4k stream, but the game itself is running in 1080p
desterothx··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
IMO it doesn't make sense for LLMs to write machine code, because abstraction allows them to have more information density. As context size is a big limitation right now, cluttering it with less dense information seems like a bad idea.
desterothx··on Show HN: What if the speed of light was 5 km/h?
The speeds are theoretical (unachievable), time dilation itself is robust and proved (gps wouldn't work as precisely without accounting for it)
desterothx··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
They have no zero data retention commitments anymore though? In fact they have quite the opposite, a direct message of storing prompts since the release of sol (but we wont train on it trust us wink wink)

Billions lost, while waiting for their trillion ipo. Im sure they would manage...
desterothx··on Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf]
They will, as soon as they get the same proof without it being obvious in the prompts they stole the research
desterothx··on Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf]
Because your competitor is likely doing the same thing, so they wont even try to call you out. Oh oh or because you're planning the largest IPO in history. The opinions of average people on the paper aren't going to be the ones reflected in the markets...

Where were you seeing those roumors? Care to point to an HN post?

Sure we do, you can follow the weights so to say, to see which data turns out to be more important vs less important for predictions of a higher quality
desterothx··on Mistral raises €3B
The alps are shared between Switzerland, Italy and France. You can live in the French alps a lot cheaper than in Switzerland

We are talking about models of the flash size, 100s of billions of parameters, don't listen to the media, size does matter

Where are you getting your information from? From all I've seen the RL gives an incremental improvement, most of the capability increase comes from new model architectures (eg the jump from opus to fable is greater than the jump from opus 4.5 to 4.8)

Well it could assure MAD better than a human i guess
