My paranoid impression was more that the updating and addition of tests — obviously essential in this game — was delayed to provide advertisement for Kimi K3.1. The same happened for K3 — and this is why it was famous — but its position had collapsed by the time of 3.1

What is most charming about this benchmark is that by now they do train on past results, and thus commit all the same errors over and over.

"At a standard Q4_K_M quantization, the model footprint takes about 459.5 GB."

Every human culture thinks that nothing should be done to save the deer from the wolves or interfere in the food chain of intact ecosystems. Those that have them have different ideas for pets which are ‘members of the household’ as Kant put it. There is no unreason in this. And hunter gather cultures have still others for hunting quarry ; pastoral peoples others for eg the sheep they move from hilltop to hilltop as distinct from the dogs who assist. None of these distinctions have a trace of hypocrisy nor do they need rationalization.

The bourgeois factory farm is a menace but because of the usual competitive drive that showed in Dickens time leading to eg child labor and 16 hour days - but which here has no one to rebel and it’s all hidden by the separation of production and consumption. The operative principles, market and competition, are near universally praised.

This quite particular hyper capitalistic system is the origin also of the sentimentalist point of view you think opposes it by erasing distinctions and ignoring structures — it is a point of view which necessarily calls us depraved for leaving the wolves and deer in peace. It is clear that deer are perfectly conscious and suffer but also that the nature in which wolves eat them is inviolable. This involves no rationalization but is simply the truth.

Why didn't they just give mathematicians access, so they could at least understand and write up the results in publishable form?

I recursively self-improve my shoe-tying powers every morning.

I first saw it with Homebrew over a decade ago. It made it more linux, it's true. (Of course now that its for linuxes too, so they get to be more like macs.)

I see archive.today has the charming old ruby version on the bottom of a 2013 brew.sh page in 2013, when I must first have used it https://archive.ph/lCqJ1

But the form of incantation is now pervasive.

Philosophy of technology has existed since Plato and Aristotle. Every other word in their corpus is technē, which is why we call technology 'technology'. In every succeeding epoch the theory of the technological has been developed. It isn't clear there are 'disciplines in philosophy': there are only a few thousand researchers to begin with, on the scale of art history. I asked perhaps doubtful AI but it said that in AI there is an 'elite tier' of AI researchers of 5000 from maybe 100,000 total; the corresponding figure for philosophy was 500 out of 5000. The AI world could finance its own army of philosophers and it could be bigger than real philosophy, and no one would notice the dent on funds

Good luck to him breaking into Z.ai HQ

My impression was that, at least with Anthropic, the point of my subsidized subscription is that I'll convince my employer to get an API account. If anything, the motive would instead be to ensh*ttify on the corporations already committed. Those of us inducted as boosters would get the fluffed up product.

what's unethical about downloading the internet for machine training?

The book is Wengrow and Graeber. Your references post date their work - Graeber has been dead for years. Much of the material under discussion is in this 2015 essay.[^1] In fact of course settled hunter gatherers, so to call them, have been known for decades, e.g. Jomon Japan; this isn't the issue anywhere.

Some of the spectacular phenomena and constructions they attempt to explain depend on non-settlement for much of the year. But in temperate regions even in the eurasian ice age we find seasonal congregation of huge populations in conditions of temporary abundance e.g. salmon runs, seasonal migration of game through narrow alpine chasms, etc. A leading motif is that in these congregations surprising phenomena can emerge e.g. insane stone works, temporary political structure, etc. Thus also the discussion of ice-age burials like that in Sunghir Russia 30,000 years ago a couple boys buried with "10,000 hand-carved mammoth ivory beads, fox teeth pendants, and finely crafted mammoth ivory spears"

He's been dead for years now.

Dunno what an intellectual is, but why would an anecdote from the seventies prove anything about that undefined genus?

Poor Caldwell was in fact ruined by typical upscale British anti-Yankee fever, the respectable man’s anti’zionism’ but so much less libidinally rewarding than the real article. Cold War upscale Yankee snobbery often took on left wing coloration.

The considerations above apply equally in China. It is overtaking America because of exactly the kind of thinking you are repeating from internet.

The headline could not be more precise. Suppose for example that I am faced with a choice which of two cars to rent. The considerations you advance are for the rental agency. The headline datum is what matters to the client.

Car ownership is in any case kind of a boomer thing, not to put too fine a point on it, and maybe your reasoning reflects this. In Europe and US occasions for rental arise for younger demographics and in different ways.

I think it's certain the seeds will not 'come true' -- the story suggests they spliced a little something in from every known blue flower -- gentian, delphinium, campanula etc etc Don't know for sure but feel: good luck hitting all the keys with recombination! Once they have a plant they like with all their gene-splicing tech, there would be as many ways of propagating as with e.g. named apple varieties'.

My impression from other stories is that they are certainly preparing commercial release, they just stopped the experiment (somehow there is scientific involvement see https://pub.confit.atlas.jp/en/event/ihc2026/presentation/S1...). They had an earlier 'blue' rose var "Applause" - which in the photos does not come close to this strange one https://www.suntoryapplause.com It was apparently used only by commercial growers for superfancy florists.

Blue or blue-tending flowers photograph really badly, on Kodachrome as on the internet, so nothing is to be really credited til you see it in life. If you type 'heavenly blue morning glory' in the browser you will see faked images - the real thing is nevertheless perfectly astonishing.

In general a blue effect, like the Heavenly Blue or the astounding mecanopsis, Himalayan poppy - once seen, never forgotten, in USA grown in Pacific NW only - involves more than just pigment but other ancillary curiosa like ferric ions trapping unfriendly wavelengths. The gene splicing was from several 'blue' flowers, but in some cases, if I follow, they were targeting these ancillaries, not the pigment.

There is a limitless quantity of law about this too, and it’s not what you think it is;

> IMHO, if the model breaks a law, apply the law to the operator

We don’t get to make it up

It was only by chance and indirection that we learned of the greatest and most comical sandbox breakout, the Alibaba ROME incident.

I have read this sentence a thousand times now. The evidence seems to be that it is said.

Solon did this in Athens. The French Revolution did it. They actually maintained it and had historic states with strange liberty.

Mao pretended to do it but then introduced the familiar Stalinist collectivization that had killed everyone in Ukraine - as he knew.

I had not heard of this comic masterpiece “Pfau et al. showed that a model whose chain of thought is just dots (“...”) can nonetheless … solve problems that are intractable for a model with an equivalent architecture but no chain of thought.”

I'm not sure who has the religious issue.

Local LLMs make my laptop hot and are wrong about everything.

I was missing it too. Google says it's a builtin zsh feature but mac doesn't turn it on by default, so you add these to `~/.zshrc`

So far it works. Thank you diath.

No one has even sued them in these rogue agent cases, have they? If not, they must be infinitely far from criminal liability. Why would we want criminal liability anyway if actual victims are made whole? Proof of it has far higher standard. The HN chatter in the matter seems infinitely remote from reality

When the Fed ‘creates money’ or as we say ‘prints money’ it is by buying Federal bonds from banks, no? Then the bank’s account is credited and it has more reserves. It is when total accounts at Federal reserve expand that base money has expanded. Similarly it contracts when the Fed sells bonds to banks. It is always tied to bonds from which returns are expected.

Nothing in the world is comparable to Fable. You presumably have a narrow specialized use case like programming.
