I want to be able to experiment with tweaking model weights and seeing the outcomes and i want to be able to finetune open source models. What's the best way to experiment with that without breaking the bank?

gosh the scrolling on that site was so jumpy!

brilliant. can someone build this for android apps next?

I was an IC procrastinating on my real work, not a manager. I think I implemented this in Github during my first sprint on the team. Managers are probably wise enough to the way of humans to not attempt something like this (Goodhart's Law and all that). I know as a fact my peers started pointing to the high score list I made as a way to start justifying asking for raises and things like that, to demonstrate that they were pulling their weight on the team harder than others.

I made a high score list for my team to get people to care about catching bugs during code review.

The gamifying started immediately.

If you ever make anything competitive there will be that one guy trying to cheat his way to the top.

The high score list was supposed to be for finding logic errors. This guy was trying to pass off finding typos in text strings as equivalent to finding something that would blow up prod if pushed up.

I really... hate... reality

got a random pair up with this model on lmarena. it was outperformed by gemma-4-31b. suffice to say i'm not impressed (or maybe i am impressed with gemma?)

yeah that seems fine. there's like no good reason to do that. are you trying to simulate reality or something?

but my point still stands, choose whichever calculation you think is important to be able to do with Ω, defined as f(Ω), square it for good measure, and set that as the max, the min, and the number of numbers in between each integer.

The total number of possible numbers will be ~2*f(Ω)⁴ which should be more than enough numbers :)

Take the approximate number of subatomic particles in the universe, call it Ω. Define the largest number as Ω² and the smallest number as -Ω², and define the number of decimal numbers between each integer number as Ω², evenly spaced. That should be more than enough numbers. Redefine Ω with each new discovery in physics.

If this seems too conservative to you, like if for some reason you want to talk about the volume of the universe in terms of the width of an up-quark or whatever, feel free to tack on some modifier to my proposed number system.

today was my first time using copilot since the change. i never told it to always use opus or the latest codex model. i always relied on the auto-router to choose which model to use. It always worked well. Today it sucks, because they took away the option for the autorouter to use the best models. The thing that is failing is something extremely simple. Maybe the routing component got broken with this new change

What I am seeing in the wiki page (at least from the radio example) is that women make the world better by not wanting random components and dangerous things strewn around the house. I like that most people are heterosexual and that there is indeed some amount of sexual dimorphism in general interests between men and women! It seems like it results in a balance that makes things better than they would be otherwise if only one of the two sexes had absolute control.

You too can let ants crawl all over you. They will find snacks.

sama, i know the odds of you seeing this are very low, but i'm so sorry you're being targeted like this. you don't deserve this. i recently saw you do a q&a with francois challet and.. after it was over, you went to your car very quickly and you were driven away. i think these days you must think a lot about your safety and the safety of your family and i wish it didn't have to be that way. wishing you and your family all the best.

As a 37 year old who has been growing more patriotic and willing to serve with age, I'm excited about having the option.

compromise between observing the daylight saving time switch and not observing it. There are benefits to switching twice a year (sunlight in the morning during the winter when you're supposed to be getting up for work, or when kids are getting on the school bus) (sunlight later into the evening during the summer so you can go play soccer after work if you want to) and you lose things if you decide to stick with just one

Compromise solution: In the spring, just lose the hour during the workday at 3pm instead of in the middle of the night. Designate that missing hour a holiday so employees still have to get paid for it. All the complaints about switching back and forth would go away.

Hahahahaha you lost me

they could improve their product search page so it's actually useful

Not a dupe. The data breach information is important. The other article only mentions it at the end.

Claire's was mentioned as one of the bankruptcies, and surely their business model would have been affected by tariffs

My source was this article which broke the RealPage story three years ago:

https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-r...

> For tenants, the system upends the practice of negotiating with apartment building staff. RealPage discourages bargaining with renters and has even recommended that landlords in some cases accept a lower occupancy rate in order to raise rents and make more money.

...

> Apartment managers can reject the software’s suggestions, but as many as 90% are adopted, according to former RealPage employees.

The problem is fundamentally a housing shortage AND RealPage recommended to large rental operators that they leave apartments empty. So they definitely did actually pour gasoline on the fire.

I have this reddit thread bookmarked for how to fix RCS every time I get a new phone:

Extremely good point! Another theory I have is that the ipad generation has grown up and they're now out unattended in public.

Your point about corded headphones being cheaper could mean that this is just a result of poorer people using public transit

the definition in your linked paper is quite self referential

Which crimes do you think are victimless exactly?

Is this not by itself a problem?

This wasn't luck. They specifically used Flock's cameras which are all over town recording which license plates pass. They sent Flock a request, and Flock sent them the data, and then the police recovered the car.

More information: the car was stolen at night, and my housemate only saw it was gone in the morning. The police were able to return it that same morning and he was able to go to work.

We had a ring camera pointed right at the car which was parked on the street. Ring didn't record its theft as an "event" so there was no footage to work with.

My housemate also had a camera in his car which records while driving. There was footage of the thief just taking the car for a joyride. My housemate did not press charges.
