Rather than encrypt why not steganography?

encode your data within natural language and transmit using a natural sounding text to speech engine

Maybe some AM Radio stations are already actually numbers stations V2.0

This occurs all the time when using LLMs for code due to the variety of versions of each lib in their training data (which is typically years old already)

Some sort of automatic functionality to find deltas in libraries (even just crude function inspection between versions) and detect/remap them (or roll back versions) might solve that and issues like this.

Bold of them to not spoof the wget UserAgent
I see your point but at the same time I'm looking for alternatives and guidance isn't really alive and langchain is just... a lot of stuff(arguably bloat..) and I don't see any obvious easy value from it like I see in lmql/guidance.
LMQL seems to be alive and takes some of these concepts even further. It's the project of 1 or 2 PhD students at ETH Zürich so I'm hopeful they'll see it through.

I thought guidance was smart, but LMQL seems brilliant as it merges pythonic constructions with LLMs (I think it may be an outright superset of python with LLM functionalities?)

It's predicated off a paper as well : https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.06094

Re:Don't Use Discord as a Forum on Thursday September 14, 2023 @04:32AM (#37506387)
IRC had a higher barrier to entry and a lot more common expectation of kickbans for various reasons (justified or not).

Plus the concept of +v doesn't really exist on discords. Sometimes you'd be stuck lurking while only a select few could speak.

And frankly being able to embed images/videos degrades the seriousness in various ways as it can become a bit of a meme/comedy competition (and they scroll disproportionately more text off.

And avatars mean less space is actually text..

<[@+]?shortnick>: <text>

is pretty much the optimal format for information density, which is ironic that twitch chat uses it (to mostly spam emotes)

Re:Don't Use Discord as a Forum on Thursday September 14, 2023 @04:30AM (#37506375)
Is it possible to somehow bridge discord and, say issues on GitHub or another forum so that people can use discord but the information is just pulled from other sources and they're redirected there?

I once asked it for naming suggestions which referenced the concept of jailing a process for a concept I was working on

It refused because the request was "offensive to prisoners"

They must be paying a heavy alignment tax.

I was thinking of MRI where I believe the limit is universally taken to be 4W/kg in the head region (Torso can be higher)
Re:French regulators order Apple to halt sales of the iPhone 12 on Wednesday September 13, 2023 @04:23AM (#37493771)
Medical limits are 4W/kg, I'm amazed they're this far off.
Even worse, OpenAI now gives you a moderation warning if your custom prompt tells GPT not to moralize (thus saving you time and them compute). Go figure
Re:U.S. Bans Sales of Nvidia's H100, A100 GPUs to Middle East on Thursday August 31, 2023 @06:04AM (#37334795)
I can't figure out if this was legit or American businesses trying to get the price of GPUs down.

China probably doesn't even need them.

The reason we need so many in the West is because of the nature of capitalistic competition. Datacenters are full of GPUs next to each other (or even the same one just time divided) serving companies who are trying to beat the other out and gain customers

If one put even a fraction of all the compute used to make the current landscape into one foundational model (which they don't have to bother to build safety for nor pay alignment tax on) it would probably make gpt4 look like gpt2.

Not to mention they don't have to give the average person access to anything, they can invoke their MaoAI only for governmental purposes and just the rest a simple 6B model or something.

They survive the crash.
You have a chief censor and you seem proud of this.

Did Orwell know about you?

Calling people nazis is ok though?
They identify as indigenous because it's an advantage to them
It doesn't matter because you'll get it no matter what.

It would just be nice if the government and institutions would admit that they censored a quite plausible theory.

Just admit it was because you needed to keep people from panicking.

Also lab leak<>lab made

The hardware for RF and Gradients alone isn't that cheap was my thought

Also you can't just write off the fringe field.

It is sad to see that even nature may be a victim of sociological decay.
It also wouldn't change much in MRI (formally NMR) -- it's also very limited on other factors
Really? Half of /g/ was using an auto solver on it. It's broken now I think still but the one that slides the letters works.

When you get used to it it doesn't seem that hard... Twitter on the other hand is incredibly confusing with the visual one but the audio is easy

Why hasn't the west published anything on this?
you seem pretty mad about people naming companies, this isn't airing dirty laundry these are things they did in the public square.

Do you feel your hands are dirty or something?

Is it more prestigious/influential than the CCC?
Reddit is arguably worse than 4chan on this front. I don't know about altchans.

Imageboards push actually contrarianism to some degree as it gets more replies (the only metric equivalent to a voting system)

Why are you afraid to name companies?
