No, to have negative income tax you need to set a baseline relative to which income tax is negative. E.g. your income tax is what you earn above 30k, positive or negative. Then if you earn 0 then b>0

The same amount you would on UBI. As I said, it's the same thing. Both are a linear function of your income. a*(income)+b

negative income tax and universal basic income are mathematically equivalent.

Choosing the next token deterministically.

Apparently it's news to some people. It also helps combat the "LLMs ArE nOt DeTeRmInIsTiC" complaints.

What makes the process expensive? can you give a very rough breakdown?

The naming is elementary, my dear Watson.

too slow, already flagged

If you care about every last bit of performance, CPUs are difficult to program for as well, possibly more difficult than a GPU.

Generally GPUs punish you more by bad performance if you don't optimise your code.

Like nitrogen and oxygen gas that would take up the extra space inside?

Including training?

Interesting that they specifically nerf cyper-capabilities of open weight models:

"In preliminary experiments on internal models, we found that without data removal at either the mid-training or the RL stage, downstream cyber capability would increase substantially. These findings gave us a concrete lever for control. For the open-weight release of K3.1 Pro, we identified and removed cyber-related data from both training stages, while retaining the general-purpose coding tasks needed for model usefulness."

Sad, even though BioWare was dead already.

yes

To assert dominance

Is the model size secret?

> it's called turning off spatial anti-aliasing.

It's called "nearest neighbour texture sampling", as opposed to bilinear/trilinear/anisotropic

Related, my favourite section of the book King Solomon's Ring from Konrad Lorenz:

I have already mentioned that jackdaws remember for a long time the creature that once triggered their rattling reaction—that is, anyone who has once attacked a jackdaw. This posed a serious obstacle when it came to ringing the chicks hatched in my colony. If I took them out of the nest to fasten the aluminum Rossitten rings onto their legs, the old jackdaws inevitably noticed and raised an unbridled rattling concert. Well then, what was I to do so that the birds would not fear me forever because of the ringing, since this fear would have immeasurably hindered my work? The solution was exceedingly simple: a disguise! Well, what kind? That was simple too. Lying right at hand in a chest in the attic—and suiting my purposes very well, even though under normal circumstances we only use it on the sixth of December—was a splendid, all-fur Krampus costume, complete with a long-tongued, horned mask that covered the entire head, and a huge, fluffy, stiffly protruding devil's tail hanging from it.

What would you imagine, gentle reader, if on a fine June day you heard a wild rattling coming from a high, peaked roof, and upon looking up, saw the Devil himself—with horns, tail, and hooves, his long tongue hanging out obviously from the heat—climbing from chimney to chimney in the midst of a swarm of deafeningly rattling black birds? I think the overall impression would this time distract your attention from the fact that Satan was using a pair of flat-nose pliers to fasten Rossitten identification rings onto the legs of jackdaw chicks, and then carefully placing the little birds back into their nest. Even I only noticed after finishing the ringing that people had gathered in a dense crowd on the main street of the village, staring at me with the exact same stunned terror as the Whitsun excursionists had from behind the fence back then. Except that had I introduced myself, the whole exercise would have lost its point, which is why I merely gave them a friendly wag of my devil's tail and vanished through the attic window.

There are still services like that where you basically rent a gaming PC for streaming, like Shadow PC or AirGPU.

The trick everyone misses: binary search of hashes can be done in log(log(n))

I thought this was hyperbole, but no.

Imagine how good it would be with derivatives
