How much do you know about transformers?

Have you ever programmed an interpreter for interactive fiction / MUDs, before all this AI crap? It’s a great example of the power that even super tiny models can accomplish. NLP interfaces are a useful thing for people.

Also consider that Firefox or Electron apps require more RAM and CPU and waste more energy than small language models. A Gemma slm can translate things into English using less energy than it requires to open a modern browser. And I know that because I’m literally watching the resources get used.

I’m not good at anime, is he doing an ahegao face?

But even before recent tariffs, modern console prices weren’t dropping nearly as fast as history suggested they should. In fact, Sony first raised the nominal starting price of the PS5 Digital Edition back in 2023, way before Trump’s current trade war was even on the horizon.

I’m not saying Trump is to blame but this is misleading. Trump hurt our economy with tariffs during his first term nearly 10 years ago. During 2023 he was releasing “Agenda 47” policies, in which he specifically mentioned more tariffs. Here’s Trump threatening tariffs 8 months before Sony raised the price

For regular people, Trump tariffs came out of nowhere in 2024. Corporations and people holding stock have different perspectives.

So you have no good reason to stick with windows or Mac, and you think you’d benefit from switching to Linux, but there’s too many people who are annoying about Linux so you don’t switch?

Good one.

There’s two types of gamers.

People who like sandboxes with the understanding that there are some toys / structures to play with.

People who just like playing in sand and don’t care if a sandbox is literally just a box of sand.

So like… You ask the model about styles and it says ‘diagrammatic’ and you ask for an artistic but diagrammatic tree or whatever and that affects your worldview?

If people just ask for a tree and the issue is they didn’t get what they expected, I don’t care. They can learn to articulate their ideas and maybe, just maybe, appreciate that others exist who might describe their ideas differently.

But if the problem is the way your brain subtly restructures ideas to better fit queries then I’d agree it’s going to have ‘downstream’ effects.

What changed between the ‘months of torture’ and Naruto and Safine being arrested, and the '10 days ’ leading up to his death?

It sounds sick that the French government would decide a man is being tortured yet they’re not obligated to intervene… while at the same time they fine a company for not stepping in.

If this man was negligently killed, authorities and kick are to blame, but it’s the authorities that should’ve been the failsafe, not the company. I guess it makes sense that French politicians are Very Mad™ and Seriously Considering Bigger Punishments™.

I have a dream!

That’s based on tropes from an era we’ve already lived through.

We need to work together!

To to backwards.

Dare to dream. Be somebody.

He made adult music knowing it would be listened to by children. At some point in his career he must have realized he was talking directly to children while in the studio.

I’m sure he cares about kids and isn’t just a stupid asshole saying a line because something pulled his string.

~You got a stick in your ass, Snoop!~

I got too far in the article to not hear about people possibly mass reporting the pic. I don’t want to hear people on social media and how they think it’s censorship, zuck sucking trump, whatever.

Oh fuck, I read the entire thing and it never even mentions it. Maybe I need to finish my coffee but it seems like kids just don’t realize you can abuse automated systems, or if you can, that it’s not automatically a deliberate attempt to censor their ideas. It’s too hard to imagine with “but it’s meta! Zuck bent the knee!” screaming in your mind’s ear.

I can’t run local models bigger than 7b q_4_k_m or so, so I’m safe for now. The idea of revealing my deeper personality to corporate LLMs is horrifying.
