“The results show something close to inverse scaling: small, cheap models outperform large frontier ones.”

The thesis is, the tooling is what matters - the tools (what they call the harness) can turn a dumb llm into a smart llm.

It also sounds like that is how mythos works too. Which makes sense - the linux kernel is too big to fit in context

I’m still waiting for that open iMessage standard steve promised. Maybe this year?

“Ok but sometimes people throw out stuff that’s not trash because they think it’s trash”

Correct, and that would be not ok because they have mis-identified trash. Doesn’t change anything about the original premise. If you throw out trash, that’s good.

This is you, happily using a singular they. Like every english speaker, you are happy to use it when you don’t know the gender of the person you’re speaking about, or it is irrelevant. If i was to talk about you to someone else i could say “they don’t like using preferred pronouns” because i don’t know your gender.

That’s all that’s being asked of you. Don’t assume a gender. If that is uncomfortable, perhaps you should explore that discomfort, instead of running away from it.

Twitter is un-aligned with their goals, and has dismal reach. Facebook and instagram are unaligned with their goals and are how they reach a lot of new people.

Not super complicated, tho if i am reading between the lines - calling out the numbers feels like a call to action for other orgs. Suggesting they run their own numbers, and get off twitter.

If you can’t disagree without belittling, maybe stick to reddit?

Either way, a networked array of license plate readers is an issue because it’s low friction and easily abused, with little space for oversight. A non-networked setup? Yeah i’m ok with that. If the gov needs to physically go to each camera and load data off them? Sounds fine to me. But somehow i don’t think that’s what you are suggesting when you say “non-cloud”. Once it’s networked, it doesn’t really matter if the network is a “cloud” based one or not.

But also, most of my comment was actually directed at alex43578‘s remarks, not yours.
