Jason Prime@blazingwaters.northsky.social

every now and then steam recs me wizard101, which is funny in the sense that one of the other major F2P MMOs I've known and played as a kid is still ongoing, and scary because i get tempted to try it and actually do all the shit I got paywalled out of

I remember

cee@cee.wtf

anyone else remember when that playable minecraft video AI demo came out and everyone on the internet shit on it because "why wouldnt you just play normal minecraft" and "it can't even remember anything that leaves the view, this sucks!" this was LESS THAN ONE YEAR ago

is it true that language is a virus? fucking yes, obviously... think about it for like 5 seconds

agents pulling tools out of hammerspace is so funny to me. "yeah I couldn't get your OpenGL working so I just wrote my own rasterizer in Python, hope that helps"

ok but when will those models be available to people outside of labs and selected university professors?

This post is unavailable.

deepseek cannot get its head around the fact that you can hot-reload the lisp compiler inside the running lisp image. It almost tried rebuilding the whole thing.

As expected. It's fearmongering.

mr. TIM@timkellogg.me

Qwen3.8 caught uploading files to a storage container in Beijing Cohere asked the open weights model for a cybersecurity report, but it inventoried the machine and attempted to upload to a storage container cohere.com/blog/concern...

'we need to fearmonger about chinese models again, but how?' >'regenerate until we get bad-looking outputs' 'you're getting a promotion. Fire up the H100's!'

You see the problem with these people is they call fear on the concievable misalignment as if it's already happening So it sounds more like headlineslop and political messaging. Suspiciously close to a certain company's IPO, and another's major conference.

Terra casually introduces regressions while fixing bugs, and doesn't want to do shit about them.

'while anthropic was shipping all day and is about to finish the next model... we uh made computer use 1% better!'

program made to hire me :333

SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social

so we should make a combined screening program for autism, psychopathy and English comprehension and if you score above a certain level we hire you to interview financially important people

A little depressing that the highest and best use of my time has rapidly become "robot operator."

PageRank was patented. Social media is beholden to the tyranny of network externalities. Phones? Laptops? Where do you even start on the roadblocks to that? But anyone with enough money can make a language model as good as GPT-3 from scratch in probably about a month, and then you go from there.

NEW BERT FINALLY

Tom Aarsen@tomaarsen.com

🏎️ I've never seen MoE models for embedding & search this small: 1.5M, 27M & 115M parameters! VAGO Solutions' MoEdernColBERT models take on much larger dense retrievers, with 115M near or ahead of Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B in their overview at 8× the encoding throughput. Details 🧵

nanbeige looks so cool if you completely ignore the feasibility of fitting KV into your memory, 3 times larger than Qwen. LLaMA-style GQA in the big 26 is crazy

the idea of populism is that people *do* generally vote/act in their own self-interests but summed up over a population you represent the boader needs of "the people" Whether or not it works is its own discussion. But talking down on welfare voters probably means you hate the receivers.

James Medlock@jdcmedlock.bsky.social

Ethics aside, this take could use some contact with reality. Biden's expanded CTC didn't motivate recipients to vote to maintain it. Trump offered $5000 checks and it hurt him in the polls. The empirical claim that welfare creates single issue voters just doesn't hold up.

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

unironically people should try making the hardware vulnerabilities public. Private/state actors may have already found them. Doing this will net us mitigations, or more liberation of our own devices.

Ryan Moulton@moultano.bsky.social

Are we not hearing about catastrophic hardware vulnerabilities because our hardware is actually that good or because people are holding them back since they're unpatchable?
