You absolutely could. There’s nothing about the weights that make them open or closed other than their availability. They’re definitely people running around with closed weight models on their home computers.

Have you considered the possibility that the politicians know this, and also don’t care?

I think you’re misunderstanding that they think are part of the populace. They do not. They do not think they’re at your level. That’s why they got in the politics. That’s why they’ve been successful at it.

Go spend some time around with police higher ups if you don’t think that they also believe that they’re a class of nobility.

The simple concept is some version of the Peter Principal.

You just flat out don’t get into these positions without being a psychopath. Partially that it wouldn’t be attractive to you, and partially that you won’t succeed without those behaviors.

I’m a big fan of conscript political assignments. The people that don’t want to do it I think would make better decisions.

>Openflexure is really cool-- I have a couple openflexure microscopes. https://openflexure.org/

For what purpose? Curious

> And this account posted ads?

I mean… it is for a “No Kings” rally. Yes. It’s main job is advertising. Yes.

>Covid had a natural origin and spread from a wet market in Wuhan, China

What an amazing coincidence that the virus came from the same city that the China’s only level four bio lab happens to be in, the one with records destroyed, the same one that the US was with one step removed from NIH to EcoHealth Alliance was directly performing gain of research on coronaviruses at, a fact that Fauci’s own emails confirm as it was his buddy Peter Daszak’s name on so that when he testified that the US was not doing GoF that he was still perjuring himself just not immediately provable.

I get why people get so confused because it truly is just such a neat coincidence.

> You have a barrage of ads

Right, because that’s a recent occurrence.

The number of ads on any sportsball program is actually sickening unless you are used to it. I don’t care about the commercials, it’s the ones you don’t notice. You might notice The Verizon Center’s instant recap cam brought to you by GoPro, “Go Be A Pro!”… no, it’s everything that appears on the screen at any single moment is branded and paid for you to see it subconsciously. Every helmet, mouthguard, clipboard, every everything everywhere all the time, no letting up.

I’m pretty sure that the level of advertising in sports is super unhealthy. I really don’t care that betting the game is an option or not.

Perhaps you should balance for car use and urban vs rural?

There is a story that Stability.AI went under with their trash release of Stable Diffusion 3, and that their better people went on to form and work at Black Forest Labs… apparently “3” is viral infected for these people.

I’m can get 6000 trash images for the cost of one good one though!! (What are these companies thinking?)

>What the heck are they doing?

European edit model cannot make it easy to nudify people… they lobotomize it, it’s trash, Mission Accomplished!

Another reason that China is pulling ahead daily. They can leave in some anatomy and not knee cap their own product, leave in IP, and give away the model so as to undercut API/credit sales of US and EU models.

Finally… the Neo Puritan death march is having a direct financial toll.

This is like hair though.

We can grow hair on mice all day long. We had to poison A LOT of mice to do it though. Any time you see “cures x in animals” basically just ignore it.

I swear buying a soniccare is literally half the effort required

I basically only have eyes for Claude code. Sell me on this?

I guess that’s something you need to work through that you’re just so sick of reading about the single biggest evolution in technology since the internet :(

Maybe tech isn’t for you if you don’t like trying to stay on top of it.

Have you met humans?

I’d be shocked if people working on and passionate about thing didn’t shit on other thing. That’s natural and even good in moderation. It’s up to a leader to keep it under control.

> Claude&co

OpenAI seething that they didn’t pick a fucking name for their platform.

> Brave still exposes your GPU model and driver version.

I love that things like this are coming too light. But, I fucking cannot understand how anyone would’ve ever thought this was OK.

So what do you think the threat is? That they’re skimming data off with their extension? That they’re going to close up shop and take your encrypted vault with them? That they’re lying and storing your master and then peeking at your vault?

In order for snooping to be true, the extension would need to phone home what you’re viewing and I think that would be a pretty big no-go with everyone.

In order for them to close shop and take your vault… do you have any serious reason to assume that might happen? I’m sure it’s happened with X or Y obscure company before. Does it seem likely at bitwarden’s size? Is this threat not just as equally remedied with your own paper backup?

Yes you can run a quantized GLM on 240GB of ram.

The things in LLM “knows” are not infinite per its physical size. “Experts” don’t exist in a world where hardware capacity was a trivial issue.

in two years, yes I expect us to have much better models. Perhaps many times more efficient. But not 100 times.

Which LastPass crap?

Them not understanding how PBKDF2 works?

Them leaking all the encrypted user vaults?

Then raising prices and being impossible to work with as corporate customers?

Straight up fuck LastPass.

Keepass people always in these topics with ”offline rules!! … now let me tell you how I use it with a copy on my phone and sync it with Dropbox and a backup on a git repo”

Thanks, on these topics I feel like I’m fucking crazy for not wanting to self host.

If you believe that the technology works, that encryption is happening and that the decryption is only happening on your local machine then why in the fuck would I host this myself?

You need to believe that it does not work when they do it, but does work when you do it.

I have not seen any evidence of that.

It should be very clear that Nvidia is not interested in selling you GPUs to run models. But it’s very interested in selling data centers that you can use to run models in a way that everybody on their end “accepts”.

There’s a lot about this that would make sense.

But, not really at the current technologies. Kimi and GLM are fucking awesome, but I don’t have 3TB of VRAM to run them, and I don’t expect to even when ram prices drop.

So now you’re back to the scaling issue before talking about power and compute distribution.

> USA provides extensive engineering support and technology transfer for Ukraine's domestic development of long-range missiles.

Translated, we give them the missiles, we give them the intelligence, we give them the target, we set it up… we let them push the red button.

This is definitely an ad

>but the consensus is leaning towards zoonotic origin from a bat or pangolin in a wet market

I literally had to check the date on this post.

Does anyone else remember when claiming it was a lab in China that leaked was “racist”… but “they eat tainted exotic animals at wet markets” was “the consensus”?

Wild times!
