Exactly what are the possible 'security issues' of self hosting an open weights model?

What is the argument?

'why aren't my neurons individually conscious?' why can you assume a slide rule is but a neuron isn't? your consciousness doesnt stop at your 'skull', it extends to your fingers and "interfaces" with the world in various ways, which is effectively a weaker, slower connection. neurons in your brain are also not equally distributed to how much they affect your immediate consciousness, but they all play a part in it

Do you have a verdict for whether science can ever explain the origin of the universe? I can only doubt it could answer the actual hard problem of consciousness. I find most people, especially on here, to be blindly "science-optimistic"

So perplexing - in the interactive demos, the latency slider acts not as a network latency but more a debounce buffer? Why? Why? I just don't get it

They set the root font size relative to the total width of the screen (1.04vw) with the rest of the styling using rem units

Ive never seen anyone do that before.. It may well be the only way to circumvent browser zoom

essentia0 — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 19:18:11 +0000

HTTP/1.1 is no different from HTTP/2 and even HTTP/3 when it comes to multiple domains. The optimization strategies are all aimed at solving simultaneous resource requests from a single host (not domain but close enough) - should be obvious when you consider that each host requires at least one separate socket connection anyway.

In practice http/1.1 with 1 connection per request even encouraged making more domains/subdomains if you wanted to have more simultaneous requests

not only UI extensions. for some time now extension developers can opt in to provide browser worker targeted bundles for their extensions.

Yes it can. It's as absurd as claiming you can't talk about a person without mentioning their eventual death.

Are there any such solutions/standards available? Tried searching Particle Syntax documents, nothing came up. That's exactly the sort of problem I'm working on now

It's not growing, it's cutting and amplifying that happens on this step. Without it there is less certainty the attention will go the right way. When it is fully pronounced- as if you heard it with your ears - it sort of ripples through your brain, like a physical sensation, echoing for some time. Pulling it out word by word feels natural so You think it was already there, but The thought is not "activated" full strength until you walk it fully with attention, theres only a vague shape, a direction, broad and uncertain. Without it you get faster less lasting thoughts that won't chain well to form a cohesive picture. less sharpness, less resolution, a kind of intuition, maybe it is intuition. You probably get those sometimes, a complex idea that is hard to verbalise, but you can sense it, and you are probably aware how ephemeral they are if you dont stop to give them all your attention. You already know how to think like that, it just doesn't register that you are doing it because it doesn't "echo", you still walk them to remember them

double tap zoom is annoying. it is easy to imagine inexperienced users getting lost because of it.

Agreed, nobody's life improved after they switched to that. There's stll a "Find image source" button above the picture in Google Lens that more or less does what you want
