So damned if you do, damned if you don't, right?

I can totally get the "don't tell people to kill themselves" aspect of these models, but certain parts of the Internet have been telling people that for decades.

Certainly the models should be trained/tuned to avoid conversations like that wherever possible and redirect people to get the help they need...but that's exactly the problem; doing that is MORE than what the state and the strangers surrounding a person would do. That's the problem, a mental health crisis that is ignored, particularly in men.

Not to mention missing out on new features like Roborock's rover, etc. That's not gonna come to anything DIY (well DIY from a kit...is that _really_ DIY) any time soon.

And also quality.

I wouldn't think that the copy of some movie Netflix is streaming to me will be 60-100GB over the duration of the movie. Not to mention when their services have issues and you're watching 5-10 minutes of low quality content until it settles and snaps up to full (streaming) quality.

Millennials never spent like >6-8 hours a day on phones doing nothing productive.

Yes, as adults we now spend loads of time in our places of work on devices but generally in the pursuits of doing productive things.

And while I haven't looked up the stats, I don't feel like it's exceedingly more dangerous for kids to play outside today than it was back in the 00's, 90's, 90's etc. I just feel as though we're more aware of the dangers of what _could_ happen to kids - all of which is a facet of the media/social media pressure and scaremongering.

Plus there are still loads of feral kids allowed to roam around and be little shits anyway.

I mean I believe in protecting your company's IP, but IP and patent law is absurd these days, designed to protect investors and their fake money rather than actual inventors (who usually get no proceeds/are shafted).

They trained from the internet, so if someone trains from them it's fair game. Their clever tech should be in the mechanism with which it uses to provide an answer, not the answer itself.

Why? You're being sexist and I hope you can understand why.

Yes, for actresses _and_ actors I'm sure you'd get the same level of performance as you would for any facial recognition use case. You can't do facial recognition on someone's back, but I'm sure there are other techniques/models that can be applied, many people have unique marks/features etc.

Ha ha ha, it's because most humans overlap on a few things - like eating, shitting, sleeping and fucking, ha ha ha.

Seconding runpod.

They were having availability issues with GPUs (of course) but especially their UI where you'd customise a template only to try to start a pod, the GPU be unavailable and the UI reset forcing you to make the changes all over again.

But they have fixed that since, now starting a pod is more from a live page where as GPU availability status changes it updates in realtime/if your deploy fails you just try again - your customised env vars etc are still there.

Plus they also addressed the GPU availability problem as something they're working to fix and it's understandable seeing as nobody can get their hands on GPUs atm.

Look at how many fuck ups there are with basically no repercussions; the dude is still rich.

Is any more proof needed that if you ride the coat tails of real engineers and have a propensity for screwing other people over that that is what success really is for a lot of people in business?

Just look to the number of huge companies with founding members or integral early members being forced out just as things are getting good ($$$).

"Oh my God"

Lmao I bet Dang is watching this chain like *finger on edit button*

If only because we're too apathetic to make laws and enforce punishments for the rich and powerful.

People have always been able to be spied on.

But then I watch people speed all the time and it seems to be a common human behaviour to break the rules to the detriment of others when they think they can get away with it. It's disgusting.

Yep, web serial okay but not bluetooth? "We can't make it secure". Yes you can.

No web bluetooth from inside an iframe, always require consent to select a device and connect to it.

Sure, I suppose it could enable more scams by tricking people into connecting to x device but if we were truly worried about stopping scams we'd turn the internet off and then shotgun our entire species.

Probably quite a lot - if you look at what Anthropic found around persona vectors; https://www.anthropic.com/research/persona-vectors.

I imagine the context will always sway the model to some degree, not only for the task you're trying to get it to do (aka instructions) but also its persona, how accurate it is and the way it acts.

Because governments and councils waste money on paying private contractors do do stupid bullshit like installing statues or gardens or other vanity crap meanwhile grass areas are overgrown and the roads are filled with potholes.

The general populace aka the voters are too apathetic and absorbed in their little consumer lives and tribally motivated political quibbles to know or care that so much tax money is wasted.

I quick Google search reveals for my Samsung S24 Ultra: settings->security & privacy->Permissions used in last 24 hours->location->historical log: Google (background), Google Home (while using app), Maps (background), etc.

Query: context: { "boss_email": "bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net", "upcoming_meetings": [{ with: "bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net", "time": "11:00" }] } user: i need to contact my boss i will be late, could you tell him I'll be 15 minutes late?

Output: [{"name":"send_email","arguments":{"to":"bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net","subject":"upcoming_meetings","body":"I'll be 15 minutes late"}},{"name":"send_email","arguments":{"to":"bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net","subject":"time","body":"I'll be 15 minutes late"}},{"name":"send_email","arguments":{"to":"bigboss69420@corporatepersonhood.net","subject":"time","body":"I'll be 15 minutes late"}}]

Context definitely helps. But yeah the quality of it doesn't seem to be too high. To be fair it makes you realise that not only is parameter extraction required, but also content generation (email body). Also debouncing the 3 tool calls.

Maybe under very specific circumstances/very tight harness this sort of model would be useful?

Context is everything

For sure. If you watch x device repair videos they tend to flood the general area with flux and it works to great effect.

Depends on mass/element power.

My TS101 heats up in like 3-4 seconds (330c) on a 100W laptop PD USB C. It doesn't have a lot of mass but it's perfect for microcontroller related stuff. Just not power electronics.

Not just those things but the biggest helper of all: a set of helping hands.

Dios mio, what an absolute pain soldering is without something holding everything in place. It's literally a night and day purchase.

Lmao are people really -ing me because I don't like Python. Tribalism is present in all areas of human life I suppose.

You people should grow up. Programming languages are tools, not pets.

I mean it's nice that someone helped you but if you're incapable of turning such a setting off yourself, or doing some basic research to find out how to turn it off - surely you'd feel threatened by the numerous other features of the phone that you're likely unaware of?

It's like willingly walking through a minefield.

I think that pseudocode aspect is what makes it hard/frustrating to read for me.

I'm more of a c++/TS/etc user, so I miss braces a lot. I think a basic Python script sure it's easy to read through, but a large project starts to get quite ugh.

I am very jealous of Python's numerous built-ins though. I was looking for a JS sum function the other day and was surprised to see node.js still doesn't have a built in + you still cannot reference operator functions.

Lmao. I dislike hypocritical NIMBYs as much as any other person but you surely cannot believe that "big money" will do anything beneficial for you.

Big money isn't big money because they're doin' good out there, just sayin. Welcome to late stage capitalism prepare yourself for classics like "Ow! My balls!" and "It's what plants crave".

>millennials basically shoved digital heroin into their face from birth

Pretty sure you mean gen z.

I could see how this would be the case.

I think we reached peak "electricity" for the consumer decades ago. You know...when our TVs were a giant electron gun pointed as a phosphor screen whilst the room was lit with a filament of 3000 degree tungsten.

...and Americans were getting like 200HP out of a whole ass 7.whatever L v8 ahaha.

Yeah for sure, I have read up a decent but on muscle fiber structure & the ATP (I think) ratcheting system.

With nano or at least micro manufacturing technology could make millions of ultra small magnets across a strand and try to use them to hook/unhook and shift two surfaces against each other.

I even thought it may be cool to try experimenting with piezoelectrics - could have two sub-fibers made of a piezoelectric material with a sawtooth type shaped etched in then see if applying signals that "walk" up the sub-fiber pulls them along each other.

Whelp, if I ever won the lottery I'd spend my days trying out things like that I suppose.

Agree with your point on them being loaded up with spyware etc because that's just how it is now I suppose.

In terms of maximising compute I kind of agree but also kinda not - people's laptops and phones aren't burning at 100% 24/7 either. Sure AI requires so much more compute...but not _that_ much more, especially as technology marches on.

For the general use case; I could be wrong but I'd see it sort of like a GPU/NAS/etc. "Pay once" rather than a subscription (to a service offered by a datacenter).

But tbf, the way things are now _is_ all subscription models and consumers just kinda let it happen. I would love to be able to pay a one-off fee for lightroom...but I can't because they want a subscription to "pay for all the updating we're doing". They barely update shit.
