<< I spent years dumbing things down and creating visuals to support it for decision maker

And that is a problem. I am not guiltless ( I am working one such abomination now! ). The dumbing down of everything has to stop somewhere. Just because my boss thinks hiss bosses are retards does not mean I have to endure simplified muse where I can't change much.. I get that normal people like it. Fuck em. They are making their choice.

You do have a point, and I sometimes clamp down on random meta complaints myself, but mostly because there are enough of real complaints to worry about. In other words, your comment in useful in providing appropriate balance. I don't like meta. That much is evident, but there is no reason to make argument against them less potent by not considering how it lands.

Yes, but we are getting close to the point where the difference exists, but it is less and less significant. Tbh, Qweb27b is perfectly find for a lot of tasks; anecdotally, the difference lies less and less in quality of responses, but in speed. Local models have a hard time there for a reason ( the cheapest stuff you can get now is stuff like previously mentioned 128gb ryzen ai ).

So trade-offs are there, but do those matter to all people the same way ( are they not equal in the same way to everyone )?

Sorry mate. The one thing llms effectively guaranteed is that short of wonks like me, no one is actually reading the source. Everything is a summary of summary of a summary.

FWIW, I feel you; I too try to leave internet a mildly more amusing place to be.

It is funny that you mention that, because at home I do/hear/watch all sorts of things, so I suspect transcripts look fun and may make management feel a little icky ( makes me wonder ). Honestly, one would think it is a reasonable position that they would not want to know too much:D

<< you shouldn't point to non-evidence, interpret it through the lens of your prior beliefs, and then claim that it's actually evidence supporting your beliefs

Not parent, but it is worth responding to as it applies. Not prior beliefs. From prior actions. Unless you are only now becoming aware of the existing ecosystem, there is almost no way in which you can buy into that ecosystem without expecting hard rug pull. And the beauty is, everyone gets to make a choice, but they best do it is with eyes wide open and the understanding of the deal for it will be changing soon.

Yeah, but at the same time compensation is meager enough that they won't get as much of a response. I am only kinda considering it and that is mostly, but the more I am reading through the details the more of a turn off the whole thing is.

Well, kinda, but usually the compute is given away as part of the hackaton. Even AWS hackaton did expect you to buy AWS credits..

Same, but the real question is how. At this point, the things they are proposing are genuinely useful for the environment that we are finding ourselves in? How does one even begin to allow for less dependency here without appropriate substitute/mitigation for what cloudflare renders relatively painless.

<< Probably because pop_os and Cosmic are so niche and their market share so low, that they're irrelevant to attackers and bad actors, when those now have much bigger fish to fry.

That is such a weird statement that I am not entirely certain where to begin. PopOS is hardly niche. Its base are all fairly common components by linux standards. And, more importantly, attackers and bad actors may other considerations in mind than sheer population size -- just to point out the glaringly obvious.

<< I think even amongst the HN and Linux userbase, pop_os is still niche

I think rather than trying to disprove it, I think I should ask why you think that? If anything, PopOS annoys me because it is just a step before ubuntu ( and ubuntu is just windows at this point ). Maybe I am defensive, because my first real distribution ( that did not share disk with windows was popos )?

Agreed. This whole 'lets not forget this person is not 100% great, because they did X' makes the entire conversations suck. It is not new, but it is a particularly aggravating way to talk to people.

This is a decent argument. So the question becomes: do we want all models to suffer from the same kneecapping from the growing safety cottage industry or do we want individual founders ( and I am assuming their teams ) making the actual decisions?

This. The society is still trying to manage its inhabitants by providing what they crave. It is not clear our current trajectory supports that particular landing zone.

You see.. this is exactly why our great leader chose to form a new way forward to move us away from the undefined AGI into glorious SI!

There are people, who unironically think their way of looking at things is the only proper way and can consider no deviation. And AGI, which knowing how people work, would effectively guide them most of the way, not aligning to their way of thinking is an unacceptable deviation.

I am playing with it now trying to make it play adom ( mostly to avoid issues with timing; using local variants so speed is a consideration ). By itself, it plays in ways you can likely imagine.. not well. Adding big Qwen on top for strategic decisions helps, but makes it fail in unexpected ways. Will be adding smaller non-qwen in the middle. WIP so actual details are changing fast.
