Re:Nvidia Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @05:51PM (#49265005)
and Glimmer has 10x active params of Lightning. Meaning ~ 10 slower on same HW
the ceiling is to eval's quality
you actually can run 120B (see Nemotron-3-Super) model in NVFP4 on DGXSpark, so I'd imagine it'll run here as well

this is great idea! Hackers of Hacker News let's have more projects to overwhelm bad actors with bad data. Perhaps using OSS LLMs for that.
Re:Apple introduces the new iPad Air, powered by M4 on Monday March 02, 2026 @01:04PM (#47221636)
yes. Has been possible since at least M1.

Buy M-based iPad, nice monitor, keyboard and mouse. Connect mouse and keyboard to monitor via USB. Then iPad via USB-C/Thunderbolt to monitor. Everything "just works" and you can handle surprisingly high amount of work this way

nuclear strike is an effective tool in many war scenarios, why would AI (or anyone else) recommend against it??

We should, of course, have human decision makers who must work tirelessly to make sure those scenarios are never even remotely realistic.

Re:Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting on Friday February 28, 2025 @04:31PM (#43211489)
This is a time to boycott all of the president's Elon enterprises. I just cancelled my Tesla solar installation in California. If you are thinking about buying a Tesla - don't. Also do not vandalize other peoples' Tesla.

If you are thinking about working in AI for x.ai or Tesla - do not. This will not look pretty on your resume.

Re:Questions censored by DeepSeek on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @05:38PM (#42859037)
The real danger is not covering for communist's insecurities but lack of comprehensive tests for models which could uncover whether the model injects malware for certain prompts.

For example, I would stop using US bank if I new they are using LLMs from China internally (or any adversary but really only China is competitive here). Too much risk.

Re:X (Twitter) blocks links to hacked JD Vance dossier on Thursday September 26, 2024 @05:51PM (#41663859)
Majority of Elon's net worth is tied to Tesla. Tesla has a massive presence in and therefore dependence on China. How can we accept Twitter as a free-speech platform? Just because he says so?
what is the next step? Not allowing the sale of cars without remote shutdown switch? something else?
Re:AirPods Pro 2 adds 'clinical grade' hearing aid feature on Monday September 09, 2024 @02:39PM (#41491897)
One thing I love about Apple is that they are building products for what their leadership team actually needs/wants and uses themselves. This started with iPhone (e.g. what kind of smartphone do we want instead of all that blackberries?) and is very obvious with Apple Watch line.

This is great and one of the reasons why their products offer genuinely best user experience.

I would love experiments like this to happen. My intuition would be that the results would be better than expected.

Main caveat is whether he will actually proceed with all of the bot's decisions even when it goes against his beliefs, family and friends interests.

This is a problem AI fundamentally doesn't have but humans fall for all the time.

Re:'Pacifist' Japan is tooling up for war on Tuesday April 16, 2024 @06:16PM (#40057948)
"USA has actually done a lot" - so did USA guarantee Ukraine's " borders and sovereignty"? Or did it not?

The worst thing to do (which USA did) is to make a promise and not deliver. Had Ukraine knew that USA will abandon it, it might have entered negotiations in early 2023 from a much more favorable position.

Re:'Pacifist' Japan is tooling up for war on Tuesday April 16, 2024 @06:00PM (#40057751)
where does this logic stop? At whose borders?

Because if Ukraine falls I can guarantee you that first it will be minor incursions into Poland and/or Baltics airspace. Then false flags attacks. Then more. Each time testing "escalation management" and sewing disagreements into political scenes in the West. Then more.

putin has said many times that he considers collapse of USSR the greatest tragedy ever. He wants revenge for this. And he is getting it.

Re:'Pacifist' Japan is tooling up for war on Tuesday April 16, 2024 @05:57PM (#40057715)
USA abandonment of Ukraine clearly shows to everyone that promises from USA mean nothing at times of real hardship. The sad lesson of all this is that if country wishes to be both safe and independent it must posses its own nuclear weapons and means of delivery.

"AI safety and ethics are a big deal" - yes. But no bigger deal and, arguably, a smaller deal compared to software safety and ethics.

is it really a win on MSFT part though?
>> "A huge chunk of the company went into open revolt and he got a competing offer that threatened to recruit all of them"

- They had a huge funding (>80B?) round planned in which employees could cash-in. Without Sam that round was guaranteed to not happen. So they all had huge financial incentive to support them. Which I guess, characterizes him as a great manager who thinks many steps ahead.

"Invading a well-armed Europe is almost impossible."

- You don't get it. An alliance of china, russia, iran and north korea will be enabled to do whatever they want. Including invading or, more likely, hitting with missiles critical infrastructure in any Nato country with the exception of US and UK

this is so exciting! why do you feel depressed.

Btw, a year or two from now you'll be able to run a more powerful open model locally. So, not they aren't having some outsized amount of power

Re:Airbnb tenant refuses to leave for more than a year on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @02:33PM (#37769591)
"life doesn't actually work that way" - it absolutely does. When society fails to enforce laws, criminals step it. I lived through that reality during USSR collapse. I'm sure many other people in collapsing/collapsed countries can relate. Your movie experience is the one which isn't relevant, not mine lived experience.
