that is why this is crazy,
give a human a legacy codebase and 5 years and he'll be able to understand very well.
if you give a human the weights of qwen 0.8B and 5 years it'll still be impossible to edit the weights in any legible manner.
but tsrs and tsgo are not a similar comparison. they cost the same (you download a binary and run it) and are functionally identical. in that case why would you not use the faster & better one?
the question should be, do you always want your groceries 50% faster ?
I'm curious about the economics of these. who funds these endeavors and why? who makes the decision on spending $X for quality of life improvement on a hornbill vs saving a few rhinos.
because in a world where you see humans without basic stuff to live with, this is a fascinating economic alignment with a different species

Hi HN, we built TOD, a model and API for jevlike LLM pipelines.we have people using it for, routing a ticket, classifying intent, deciding whether something is urgent, or rating severity.Architecture - 12B Gemma fine-tuned to score options. since it is gemma based it has multimodality built in - When there are >120 labels, we have a 150M retriever that narrows them to a shortlist (recall@16...
I take creatine daily but when I'm working out more than a couple of weeks, i feel much better than on weeks when I skip working out.
on my local benchmarks and my personal problems gemma works very well. but training a new attention head for better results in narrow domains should be much easier.
how can one exist in modern society without being an exchange value in the capitalist political economy?
linux is where it is because it is able to be a critical part of said capitalist political economy. even if you want to be a FOSS contributor all your life, you need someone to figure out the "economy" part of it.
food is a false equivalence in this case.
look these up for a fascinating weekend read:
- Beavers and Capybaras are Fish
- Bees are Fish
- Carrots are fruits
- Tomatoes are Vegetables
- X-men are not human
we'll know when the next layoffs hit.
- they follow instructions quite well.
- are tireless at doing mechanical ports between languages and frameworks.
- Can understand a new ecosystem quite well.
do you mean,
> All things AI seems to assume that more and faster is better, but there is no justification of that assumption.
is good argument?
of course faster discovery without human in the loop is better. is that not what humans have been optimizing for the past few thousand years ? faster mobility, faster communication, faster medical recovery etc. everything modern civilization has to offer is because of a rush to get better and faster. for example, discovering penicillin 2 years early would've saved ~15 million people more.
why is that not worthy enough to pursue?
why is that a concern in this context? would you have asked the same about steam engines and horses?
this is a really cool concept, organized very well. and that is very commendable.
if you spend cycles on nitty gritty opinions like this time to market goes out further and further out. some napkin math, 130 gen13 servers cost "only" ~$2.6M. relative to the importance of the 1.1.1.1 and the market at the time. that is nothing to cloudflare.
this is not to say good system design does not matter. it very much does, but making that call at that time would've butchered the prodcut very much similar to google+, youtube etc.
you were always able to buy time by hiring people to do things for you. right now it's agents. i think it's an equalizer in that, $200 agent is more accessible than a $10000 human
but I find meat and the associated horrors that come with it, to be no more or less repugnant than the broader society and industrial complex that I'm forced to be a part of.
I suppose, I personally could contribute to be one less living being suffering. but in the broader scheme of things (new wars, poverty, deaths etc.). in a very nihilistic way, I don't see how it changes anything.
I'm probably just copping out.
why is this a controversial idea? mammals indeed are smarter than mollusks (of which octopus is one).
But when we used to own cows & goats, it was very common practice to keep the youngling tied away a few hours before milking. you can feel the pain of separation the parent goes through. ( goat and cow crying, while looking at their offspring is indeed quite sad https://www.flickr.com/photos/murfalizer/4429214117). to add insult to injury it is also common practice to tie the youngling in the line sight of the parent to milk more freely.
