  • Actually open weights models have gotten better and better to the point they actually can compete meaningfully with ChatGPT and Claude Sonnet. Nvidia are actually one of the ones spearheading this with Nemotron. The issue is more that most of the really competent models need lots of VRAM to run. Small models lag quite far behind. Although with Nemotron Nano they are getting better.

  • I think this is more like percussive maintenance

  • It's not possible to bundle everything as an extension. Some things do not work that way.

  • Answering questions is not the only thing it's used for. Lol.

  • I think this rollout could have been handled better. I am generally pro AI but I do think there are tasks it does not handle well (yet?) and places it is unnecessary or just shouldn't be used. On the other hand though I do think that it is partly age and being in tech a while you tend to get fatigued. Giddily wanting to try all the latest stuff only really works when the technology is new and immature or that you are new to the technology. People have been around digital technology for a while now so it's no longer exciting.

  • The main reason moonshine is illegal is to do with taxes and historical reasons. Not because home distilling is actually dangerous. You don't have to make moonshine to be any stronger than something you would buy in a supermarket. You can legally buy 90% spirits that are stronger anyway.

  • This feels very much like American exceptionalism. There are plenty of other democratic countries in existence some more democratic than the USA ever was. USA was originally only meant to be democratic for rich white land owning men. So for much of its history it was not a real democracy anyway. There has been only a certain period it could be considered democratic between the civil war up until recently. Now democratic backsliding has started it's not clear if it will remain democratic and how long it will take to recover to full democracy assuming it does return to full democracy at all. It could very much just get worse until there is a collapse.

  • Why are you not allowed to do it yourselves? This just sounds dumb.

  • There is a vast difference between ascertaining that someone is or is not a racist and asking about their religion and political affiliations. Do you not understand that difference?

  • Making sure the parents of your kids friends are compatible politically and theologically sounds incredibly dodgy to me.

    I will say this as well: strict parents raise sneaky children

  • Sugar isn't a drug lol

  • Actually we know the system prompt. It doesn't have "I am a sentient being" anywhere in it. Stop making stuff up.

  • You are correct. I had to actually look that up.

  • Reading back over this I think you have me confused with another commentor. I don't mention anything about IF in the commend you are replying to. Someone else did though.

  • Yes genetic algorithms are something different. Though they are used sometimes in training or architecting NNs, but not at the scale of modern LLMs.

    Fyi you can have all or nothing outputs from a perceptron or other network. It all depends on the activation function. Most LLMs don't use that kind of activation function, but it is possible. Have you heard of bitnet? They use only one of three states for the neuron output in an LLM. It's interesting stuff.

  • Kinda but also no. That's specifically a dense neural network or MLP. It gets a lot more complicated than that in some cases.

  • It's only one type of neural network. A dense MLP. You have sparse neural networks, recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks and more!

  • Not all machine learning is AI. There are plenty of Machine Learning algorithms like Random Forests that are not neural networks. Deep learning would be big neural networks.
