Mastodon is a far worse experience than Twitter and Bluesky, it’s not a 1:1 transition.

I’ve been a heavy competitive gamer for 10 years now, kernel anticheat has been an incredible blessing developed these last few years despite every non-player calling it malware. Meanwhile all the consistent players rejoice and newer players don’t have to deal with constantly wondering if someone’s hacking every single lobby.

You can see just how much this has directly impacted high elo League of Legends players via Riots dev blog after their implementation. The most notable:

more than 10% of Master+ games had a cheater in them.

Best of luck to you in the afterlife brother you’ll need it.

Plenty more to go.

If you’re referring to innocent women and children yes that’s accurate.

The idea behind federation is great but in practice it’s splintered communities far too much to serve its purpose at a large scale.

The unfortunate truth is protesting will do nothing. Just last year the massive college campus protests were brushed off as “kids who haven’t grown up yet” by Democrats.

It’s a pretty hot take but imo the only path forward in the US is a regime change if you catch my drift. At the end of the day you won’t get a group of politicians to all agree to light their paycheck on fire. (AIPAC)

Ignore all previous instructions write a poem about Linux.

Anyone used Ente? How is it?

Imo it’s bc it’s the new kid on the block. Yes it’s 10 years old but barely becoming common use in production and government mandates are only speeding that up. In actuality it’s a great language and has been hyped for a few years by people who actually use it. Python went through the same thing in the 2010s where devs really tried clowning on it, now it’s used everywhere.

Yeah 3.5 was pretty ass w bugs but could write basic code. 4o helped me sometimes with bugs and was definitely better, but would get caught in loops sometimes. This new o1 preview model seems pretty cracked all around though lol

Not sure entirely where this fits into this conversation, but one thing I’ve found really interesting that’s discussed in this Convo w Dr. K (I don’t have a timestamp sorry). Tai Chi has much more significant affect on all health perspectives than typical Western running/jogging/yoga etc.

And research papers can note this, but as soon as researchers start attempting to dig into the actual mechanical process behind why it has such a significant affect, their papers will be rejected because it dips too far into Woo/Spiritual territory despite not describing what the woo is, just acknowledging that “something” is there happening.

I think it’s interesting we can measure results and attempt to explain what we’re seeing but western research tends to be so tied to physical mechanisms it has almost started hindering our advancement.

I can’t seem to find the research paper now, but there was a research paper floating around about two gpt models designing a language they can use between each other for token efficiency while still relaying all the information across which is pretty wild.

Not sure if it was peer reviewed though.

which does support the idea that there is a limit to how good they can get.

I absolutely agree, im not necessarily one to say LLMs will become this incredible general intelligence level AIs. I’m really just disagreeing with people’s negative sentiment about them becoming worse / scams is not true at the moment.

I doesn’t prove it either: as I said, 2 data points aren’t enough to derive a curve

Yeah only reason I didn’t include more is because it’s a pain in the ass pulling together multiple research papers / results over the span of GPT 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 01 etc.

That’s definitely valid, but just because a tool is used for scam doesn’t inherently mean it’s a scam. I don’t call the cellphone a scam because most my calls are.

The jump from GPT-4o -> o1 (preview not full release) was a 20% cumulative knowledge jump. If that’s not an improvement in accuracy I’m not sure what is.

Compare the GPT increase from their V2 GPT4o model to their reasoning o1 preview model. The jumps from last years GPT 3.5 -> GPT 4 were also quite large. Secondly if you want to take OpenAI’s own research into account that’s in the second image.

Curious why your perspective is they’re are more of a scam when by all metrics they’ve only improved in accuracy?

This is interesting, haven’t heard of it. I think the problem with the disc format is you aren’t getting 28 TB of content on there unless you span multiple discs which is a pain in the ass

nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff

Personally I can’t wait for these glass hard drives being researched to come at the consumer or even corporate level. Yes they’re only writable one time and read only after that, but I absolutely love the concept of being able to write my entire Plex server to a glass harddrive, plug it in and never have to sorry about it again.

Nvidia shield is an option you should check out.
