Along these lines I’m curious how a scratch trained model with a few built-in tools (memory, calculator, ?) available during a single generation would behave. Not tool calls as turns.
Re:Open source 160 sound visualization experiments
on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @04:04PM (#49998083)
None of these help me understand what the sound is like because they’re all time-domain which runs way too fast for humans to intuit.
Visualizations in the frequency domain are a lot more natural.

It just so happens that helping open source is the result. Image how far behind we’d (the hackers, not the moneymen) be as a sharing community be without them.

Which coincidentally helps average people far more than the already rich investors in a few western mega corps.
If it weren’t for these big Chinese model releases the western companies wouldn’t release anything at all. The field would be advancing at a snail’s pace.

Perhaps to moneymen the difference between “ChatGPT” and the technology behind it isnt’t obvious. I’ve been very surprised at how few otherwise smart people are completely in the dark about how capable current models are.
As soon as manufacturing starts building this stuff more, it will commoditize. The hardware prices won’t be terribly larger than the original. We’ll have a “Bambu labs” style company to make the AI OS, whatever that is.

Once prices settle down it doesn’t seem unreasonable that everyone who wants modern conveniences plops down $3k for a home computer.
It’s still cheaper than during the “home computer revolution” 80s/90s when normies were buying these at Sears and Radio Shack.

A million times this. There is “private” as a corporate-legality licensing perspective. There is “private” as a human concept. The two are seemingly opposite, yet as all the money is focused on the former there’s no airtime left for the latter.

Right. But at their core they are math formulas devised by a process designed to produce mimicry of task completion. The math formulas themselves aren’t fully effable. We’re sure studying the heck out of how they complete the tasks!
Bet they converged on how we do it, since it’s our language, but who knows.

If we extended public policy from the library era, the library of congress itself would be the Internet Archive.

From an internal perspective, thoughts are both the witness and the witnessed.
The problem only comes when trying to apply our language which is firmly rooted in this artificial dualism.
