Threw hundreds of baby transformers into water because their bits-per-byte were too high.

lostmsu··on Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after Navier-Stokes
Yes, a good analogy. Except the cat actually follows the football rules and can beat some humans. And has no physical limitations to play other kinds of sport that you might imply.
lostmsu··on Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after Navier-Stokes
The fact that LLMs can play chess at any level is a strong indication we are in AGI.

lostmsu··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
So I am building a voice assistant to control AI harnesses, and recently tried switching from GLM 5.3 Flash to Gemini 3.8 Flash because of higher tok/s and better rate limits. Before that I also used Kimi K3 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731.

Let me tell you unlike every other mentioned model Gemini 3.8 Flash trial had to be reverted the same day. Instead of simply delegating tasks it would invent additional requirements and implementation details it knew nothing about and no amount of convincing not to do it would work. That's the first time a model failed on me so spectacularly despite having practically same Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index as another model that just worked (and higher than working DS Flash).

The reason I think it is relevant is: Live is likely even stupider model in every way possible (except hearing better than separate STT). So beware using it for agentic scenarios.

lostmsu··on Why are European countries moving their gold out of North America?
You are as wrong as your parent comment. Not only Russia is invading US, but US is less of the supporter of Russia than EU. EU literally funds Russia and doesn't plan stopping completely.

It is not just a civil offence. It is potentially an organized crime.
lostmsu··on Qwen 3.8 27B available on Cerebras at 1500 tokens/s
Yes. Their architecture recomputes every time so at 150k context every request will have to spend 1.5 min waiting for the model to reread the context.

Say avg model response length is 1024 tok. At 50 tok/s normal providers do your turn will only take 20s (vs Cerebras 101s) and will cost 20x less. That time and cost is per single tool call.

They don't have cache (e.g. KV cache). But they write down what you sent earlier to say they cached it! To still bill the same as uncached later (because they didn't actually cache it)!

> I don't believe you believe in any notion of spirit

See how stupid that sounds now I wrote it in plain terms. You are telling me I lied about believing in the meaning of "high spirits"? What does it have to do with materialism? Materialists can't distinguish a person in high spirits from someone in low? Laughable.

As for your imaginary BS I pray my mental health will never degrade to the point I'd believe it makes any sense.

IMO Pareto frontier is a lie. At any given moment there's only one "best" strategy and my guess would be in most cases it is just using the best model.
