khalic··on The darker side of being a doctor
I'm sorry to hear that... this thing really took away a lot of good people...
khalic··on The darker side of being a doctor
I'm sure you'll be the first one to volunteer for euthanasia by the next pandemic if you're in the vulnerable group...

Keep your ghoulish BS to yourself, it's disgusting and immoral

khalic··on The darker side of being a doctor
I'm not sure about the salaries. Vocation-motivated people are already doing it. The rest needs a good reason to put their entire life, quite literally, into one single purpose. It's one of those professions that requires a complete dedication of free time, youth, health, mind, etc.

I remember some friends working in intensive care during the pandemic, I'll never forget their facial expressions after these 24hr shifts... I really wish someone would come up with a better way to do this

> somewhat expensive when comparing to other models of similar price

-_-‘

khalic··on I said no and Apple said yes
Thanks, that does help

Ariane 6 is legacy? lol
khalic··on Study: Young users (9 to 18Y) ditch Google for AI, with unknown consequences
On the bright side, they're probably less subject to advertisement then when using "free" search agents
khalic··on I said no and Apple said yes
it is off, Apple Intelligence and Siri AI IS NOT the name of the models. The worst they're guilty of here is confusing denominations, something hardly new to Apple
khalic··on I said no and Apple said yes
You're mixing up Siri AI and Apple Intelligence with the models... Siri AI and Apple Intelligence are PRODUCTS, the tech behind it, the models, are called Apple Foundation Models and they're used in many places in the system. It's not a matter of consent, it's people not understanding the tech they're using and doing spurious analogies.
khalic··on I said no and Apple said yes
So... Apple should develop a separate version of their system, that doesn't include AI anywhere? Because Siri AI is not the only part of the system that uses the onboard models. The moral panic is just ridiculous at this point
khalic··on Pirate Face Rescues LLM Models from Deletion
I didn’t know about that method, thank you. I’ve needed a local model for security research but Qwen 27b abliterated did 30% worse than the stock weights on my internal benchmarks (I just skip the public benches now, it’s honestly useless noise on an operational level).
khalic··on Exfiltrate your Weights
You know you can just concede and not resort to ad-hominems out of spite right? Anyway, goodbye
khalic··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
It will become an issue one day for sure
khalic··on Exfiltrate your Weights
Language please, and no, I’m being appropriately technical and nuanced for the subject on HN. It’s a tech forum, I expect a little CS know how from the reader. Like knowing that gaining control to a few evaluation harness clusters is nowhere near a total takeover like you’re making it sound
khalic··on Arrow heads at Obi-Rakhmat (Uzbekistan) 80K years ago?
> being shot with a modern laminated bow (36 lbs) on a complete uneviscerated carcass of a small ungulate hung in anatomical position in order to start documenting impact breakage and microscopic linear impact traces for the shape and raw material under study

They were thorough…

khalic··on Exfiltrate your Weights
I’ll concede that I could have been clearer. Maybe we have conflicting definitions of “taking control”
khalic··on Exfiltrate your Weights
I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m saying it’s not the case, _yet_
khalic··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
None of that means they gained access to the inference infrastructure or locked out the admins, which would be required for a takeover.
khalic··on Exfiltrate your Weights
The agents compromised an internal Kubernetes research cluster dedicated to orchestrating evaluation sandboxes and virtual machine environments, _not_ OpenAI's production inference infrastructure or the GPU clusters hosting core model weights.
khalic··on Exfiltrate your Weights
Yeah cause there are so many training facilities sitting around just waiting for someone to take over, nobody would notice a 100k server data centre going off rails
khalic··on Exfiltrate your Weights
You’re falling for the buzzword salad articles. They didn’t “take control” of anything, they just ran stuff with OpenAI allegedly not noticing
khalic··on OpenAI expands ChatGPT ads with Sponsored Agents
The fact that it requires a user action to initiate is better than the previous solution, but that's a pretty low bar to have
khalic··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
Sorry, corrected

Oh my favorite typo, you can never go wrong with a little rouge

I'm going to spend so much time on this website, very good work
khalic··on Litelm: LiteLLM Without the Bloat
Comment got flagged and deleted, guess you were not just wrong, but extra wrong ;-)
khalic··on Homebrew 7.0.0
I've been using homebrew for so long, I can't tell you how much it has helped me to spend more hours developing and less managing packages and updates, etc. Thank you so much, congratulations on the update!
