- The most recent integration I've seen is is OpenMW, which is an open source re-implementation of the Morrowind game engine. Basically it is built on the assumption that people are going to make mods that do a ridiculous amount of number-crunching in lua so any small improvement to performance is welcome.
- At 4 bits that model won't fit into 128GB so you're spilling over into swap which kills performance. I've gotten great results out of glm-4.5-air which is 4.5 distilled down to 110B params which can fit nicely at 8 bits or maybe 6 if you want a little more ram left over.
- If you have 20 hours to spare I highly recommend this youtube playlist from Andrej Karpathy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMj-3S1tku0&list=PLAqhIrjkxb...
It starts with the fundamentals of how backpropagation works then advances to building a few simple models and ends with building a GPT-2 clone. It won't taech you everything about AI models but it gives you a solid foundation for branching out.
- Rosetta 2 is going to be EOL'd within the next few years. A more permanent solution would certainly be welcome.
- You are describing Windows 11 LTSC which is a product that exists because Microsoft knows people want to turn this crap off.
It is of course only available in volume licensing to keep it away from normal users. Only businesses get to control their computers.
- Yes the security of every Windows computer was much better then, any software that automatically updates itself without user consent is obviously a massive security risk because the user is no longer in control of what software they run.
- I would think it is pretty silly if I needed some sort of verification to drive people I personally know around because other people were getting their car hijacked after choosing to pick up strangers they found on the highway.
- I see them going for $150-300 on ebay, just don't ask where they came from.
- It is wrong to release something unreliable even while acknowledging it is unreliable? The product performs as advertised. If people want accurate information an LLM is the wrong tool for the job.
From the Gemma 3 readme on huggingface: "Models generate responses based on information they learned from their training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They may generate incorrect or outdated factual statements."
- So you can only use it if Canva has your email and they can send you exciting new offers.
- Worst part about this is that these days the error message simply lies to the user. "Whatever.App is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash."
If you remove the 'quarantine' attribute that gets added to downloaded files it runs great.
- Somewhat related: I wrote up a MTG card generator based on nanoGPT a while ago that I think produces pretty good results for being 1m parameters.
The real neat thing about this is that WotC makes a few thousand new cards each year, so my training data set just grows over time and the model gets better with no effort spent on my part.
- If they are worried about the cost of initial ingestion then a gate on enabling would make a whole lot more sense than a gate on disabling.
- Interesting, will give that a try next time. I guess I never looked because I had assumed that option made you connect to an existing domain.
- Enterprise might but Professional sure doesn't.
- The readme has this to say about hosting your own blog on it:
"Bear Blog has been built as a platform and not as an individual blog generator. It is more like Substack than Hugo. Due to this it isn't possible to individually self-host a Bear Blog."
"It isn't possible" is obviously not true but a plain reading of both that combined with the license would suggest you can't use bear at all for anything.
- Not "as a paid service" just "as a service". The license does not allow me to stand up a Bear instance and let people blog on it for free.
- Anyone pointing to that as proof that AI slows developers down has not actually read it. See appendix B
"We do not provide evidence that: AI systems do not currently speed up many or most software developers"
- Haven't tried myself but it looks like it probably does. The weight files total 13.8 GB which gives you a little left over to hold your context.
It is essentially a set of all polygons that are visible from any point inside a fixed volume, but the camera only exists at a single point inside that volume so there will probably be some polys that the camera has no LOS (though I suspect these would still be 'rendered') to and a bunch that are out of the view frustum which will not be rendered.
edit: To observe this you can also load any HL1 engine game, run `r_speeds 1` in the console, then it will show you how many world polys are currently being drawn in the corner of your screen, which is probably the count referenced by John Romero here.
