tru3_power··on Using Opus 5.5 to discover a new eyewitness record of the dodo
Would you mind sharing your setup for using LLMs to generate stls/prints? I’ve had similar experiences as you describe lol
tru3_power··on Tutoring company tells parents to save their money and 'use AI instead'
I think this is mostly compounding confidence at play that unlocks your mind to be more fluid when faced with a task to do/problem to solve that actually requires skill (not just following a series of known steps). It’s like public speaking (unless you have really bad stage fright) you generally will give a better presentation if you really know your stuff, or at least will be less nervous allowing yourself to get into that flow state.
tru3_power··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
Any hits?
tru3_power··on As AI eats the web, the internet’s collective memory is disappearing
Who asked for this? Lol
tru3_power··on As AI eats the web, the internet’s collective memory is disappearing
Wait I’m confused- is this because you believe all music produced post 2024 is ai generated/ai assisted?
tru3_power··on 60% Fable cost cut by converting code to images and having the model OCR it
This probably works with PDF parsing as well I’m sure, even if it’s just from not having to parse pdf format alone.
tru3_power··on Fable 5 update: Still willing to cybercrime
This is insane lol- not like a “wow this is scary” insane but more like “really? you need a frontier model to this??”
tru3_power··on America has lost its war with Iran
Let’s say this is the case it still does not explain what the real end game looks like. What do you think?
tru3_power··on I was recently diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis
Did they state what made them have that hunch?
tru3_power··on Motherboard sales 'collapse' amid unprecedented shortages fueled by AI
I kinda felt like this was coming so mid last year I built a local rig with the top of the line parts I could afford at the time lol (rtx5090/ryzen9 etc) now I just need to build out my inference setup (sadly m3 ultras r insanely expensive now) - I have a feeling they will try to lock down usage of open source LLMs too. I don’t get how token moat can exist if local inference rigs can be built out and serve open source models locally for nothing (besides power cost).
tru3_power··on The team behind a pro-Iran, Lego-themed viral-video campaign
Is it really crazy though? Sad, but given the state of everything I don’t find this crazy.
tru3_power··on Please don't say mean things about the AI I just invested a billion dollars in
What’s the purpose of licensing requiring though things though if someone could just use an open source model to do that anyway? If someone were going to do those things you mentioned why do it through some commercial enterprise tool? I can see maybe licensing requiring a certain level of hardening to prevent prompt injections, but ultimately it still really comes down to how much power you give the model in whatever context it’s operating in.
tru3_power··on Oracle hit hard in Wall Street's tech sell-off over its AI bet
I circled back to this, The only mechanics I can think of and I’m not sure if it’s really even really a thing (maybe someone can chime in) is that market makers buying shares to cover their calls or something along those lines? How does one even really trace this type of transaction?
tru3_power··on FBI Director Waived Polygraph Security Screening for Three Senior Staff
Dang so this is much more comprehensive than a normal polygraph. I know the write up says it would be almost impossible to beat, but is that true?
tru3_power··on Oracle hit hard in Wall Street's tech sell-off over its AI bet
Can you elaborate on the mechanical point you mentioned? And by someone needed collateral, does that mean whoever it was bought ORCL at that time to hold as collateral? How do you even figure that out?
tru3_power··on Oracle hit hard in Wall Street's tech sell-off over its AI bet
When you say debt financing (Oracle) does that mean Oracle is actually financing the loans to these other companies? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
tru3_power··on Yann LeCun to depart Meta and launch AI startup focused on 'world models'
Forreal that’s what really gets me about this haha. Literally billions of dollars burned on bullshit.
tru3_power··on Thiel and Zuckerberg on Facebook, Millennials, and predictions for 2030 (2019)
I did not get him running for president from this. Which part made you think that?
tru3_power··on Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control
I am building a new rig after years of solely using a MacBook, and reading all these horror stories of windows 10/11 I am just gonna go with Ubuntu. I may dual boot with windows but only if really needed.
tru3_power··on Meta is axing 600 roles across its AI division
I wouldn’t say this lends to a bias of over-engineering but more so psc optimizing
tru3_power··on F5 says hackers stole undisclosed BIG-IP flaws, source code
Yeah that’s what I’m understanding is the case. That’s why they’re harping on no known (unreleased) vulns. But it’s kinda funny, a lot of times bugs that fall under this category are constantly shuffled around/not fixed because there is no public pressure to address them.
tru3_power··on F5 says hackers stole undisclosed BIG-IP flaws, source code
“No one will ever find these vulns without source access! Fix deferred” oh wait…
tru3_power··on US has spent $33.7B on Israel since it began its war on Gaza two years ago
Our political leaders refuse to even say the word genocide - I don’t think they give damn.
tru3_power··on The paradoxical efficient market hypothesis (2024)
Also wouldn’t all information have to be available to all participants? How does insider knowledge factor here (because it sure does in the market)
tru3_power··on Gold hits all time high
That is insane. What happens when that house of cards comes falling down?
tru3_power··on America's Elite Colleges Breed High-Status Careers–and Misery
Can you give some example questions?
tru3_power··on Abu Dhabi royal family to take stake in TikTok US
Did we really though?
tru3_power··on Nintendo secures $2M settlement against Switch modder
I don’t think that’s the case actually - there was a case recently where someone got sentenced to jail time just for selling a template that could be used to do so: https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdfl/pr/youtuber-and-auto-key-c...
tru3_power··on Evidence that AI is destroying jobs for young people
What was the reasoning behind this change? Isn’t R&D something we’d encourage to be a tax write off since it reduces the cost of well.. R&D? Or is R&D not as important as I’m thinking?
tru3_power··on Undocumented backdoor found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices
So why couldn’t one make a malicious iot device/tool to do just that? I’m kinda confused on the need for access via some other exploit. (I have little domain knowledge on Bluetooth) - when you say scan/spoof/attack any near by device, is it ones that the target is already connected to? Sorry for dumb question
