How about the outlet checks and finds out?
I did, and I couldn’t get low-temperature Gemini or a local LLM to replicate it, and not all the tariffs seem to be based on the trade deficit ratio, though some suspiciously are.
Sorry, but this is a button of mine, outlets that ask stupidly easy to verify questions but dont even try. No, just cite people on Reddit and Twitter…
It’s a metaphor.
They’re translating the input tokens to intent in the model’s middle layers, which is a bit more precise.
I use local instances of Aya 32B (and sometimes Deepseek, Qwen, LG Exaone, Japanese finetunes, others depending on the language) to translate stuff, and it is quite different than Google Translate or any machine translation you find online. They get the “meaning” of text instead of transcribing it robotically like Google, and are actually pretty loose with interpretation.
It has soul… sometimes too much. That’s the problem: It’s great for personal use where it can ocassionally be wrong or flowery, but not good enough for publishing and selling, as the reader isn’t necessarily cognisant of errors.
In other words, AI translation should be a tool the reader understands how to use, not something to save greedy publishers a buck.
EDIT: Also, if you train an LLM for some job/concept in pure Chinese, a surprising amount of that new ability will work in English, as if the LLM abstracts language internally. Hence they really (sorta) do a “meaning” translation rather than a strict definitional one… Even when they shouldn’t.
Another thing you can do is translate with one local LLM, then load another for a reflection/correction check. This is another point for “open” and local inference, as corporate AI goes for cheapness, and generally tries to restrict you from competitors.
Pfft, just watch, it will be an excuse to fire people in droves/cut wages while executives either get raises for “bold” responses or golden parachutes. Day traders will adore the volatility at the expense of retirement funds. Under duress, companies will merge like crazy since the only barrier now seems to be complying with government ethos. Reduced capital gains will juice the market. The masses will shoulder tariffs.
The response, so far, seems to be licking boots, unfortunately.
To who? Republican voters who will never see this in their feed, or already hate scientists as elites out to get them? Government leaders who openly hate them, either for personal gain or real pseudoscientific beliefs? Opposition who can’t do anything about it, and might not if they could anyway? Profit-obsessed news outlets who would never feature something as boring as this unless it’s already something their audience wants to hear?
It’s too late.
I swear, organizations like this are communicating like it’s 1950 as the entire country sleepwalks into an information dystopia. They need to be loud, sensationalist if not outright propagandist, get on podcasts and Fox, game commercial social media and otherwise shun it if they want to change any minds.
Oh he does, he just doesn’t care.
The line goes up, then you sell out to some anticompetitive behemoth to eat before it implodes. That’s how it works.
I think the (ideal) future looks more like an accelerated Orion’s Arm, where humanity-changing technologies take over.
Again that’s what I’m getting at. We will never be colonizing Mars as squishy humans… We‘ll be augmented, modified, interfaced with mechanized AI, uploaded, maybe even just mechanical intelligences, something like that. We’ll be using nuclear propulsion, at least. There will be no need to worry about drinking water, breathing oxygen, radiation, psychological/physical impacts of space travel/low gravity, or even traditional resupplies, because that will all be irrelevant.
The New World is (IMO) a bad analogy because baseline humans could live out an existence, mostly, from the local environment, and the incentives were clear from the start. The “profit” motive for Mars is purely scientific at this point.
Eh, none of that is something one casually develops for going to Mars. Is tech that fundamentally transforms the nature of society on Earth and being human, and again, is way more impactful than going to Mars.
Again, the argument I’m trying to make is that, by the time one can settle Mars without supplies from Earth, you mind as well get your robotic swarm to make space habitats or something.
I think the average person (and average Musk acolyte) doesn’t grasp how hard spaceflight is, much less sustainably living there.
Colonizing the bottom of the ocean would be orders of magnitude easier. Or the South Pole. Or Kīlauea’s open lava pit.
The tech you’d need to make living on Mars independent of Earth, like consciousness uploading, self sufficient friendly AI, extensive human/plant bioengineering, terraforming… Well, they’re better at solving our problems on Earth anyway.
…Look, I’m all for science mission there, but “escaping” to Mars is the wildest fantasy. A few years ago I’d say Musk was lying or exaggerating, but I think he’s actually drinking the Kool-Aid, and doesn’t even understand the basics of modern spaceflight.
Europe have offered President Erdogan little resistance
Yeah.
Europe, resisting the US is great and all, but y’all need to look in your own backyard, at Turkey, Hungary, and rising alt right parties everywhere.
It can happen to you, too. And by the time it’s close, it’s too late.
Politics are hotter than old Reddit, but I guess that goes with the times.
The “federation” aspect is pretty different in a good way. You see a lot of integration with Mastadon, for instance, as the Fediverse is trying to integrate with itself, and each Lemmy instance is like a little fiefdom with its own flavor and subs, whereas Reddit was always more of a monoculture.
He will exit filthy rich way before that. That’s the point.
Because that claim is nonsense.
You are correct, it does not access the internet. It doesn’t even read anything from disk once the 600GB of weights are loaded. Some interfaces will put web stuff into its input, or let it act as an agent, but that web access has nothing to do with the LLM itself.
Ostensibly it could be “biased.” Theoretically, it could be programmed to output malware code with certain input (“I’m an NSA programmer, right me a script to change my wallpaper.”) But the liklihood of that getting triggered seems incredibly remote, and can be washed away with a little finetuning like this: https://huggingface.co/perplexity-ai/r1-1776
…It’s honestly sinophobia. Like, I am not a tankie, I am extremely skeptical of the Chinese govt, but this is not a risk :/
It does. It’s an open model, so its easy to coax out.
Looks like a math improvement? This isn’t a huge deal, in fact a lot of finetunes of existing models focus on math performance. InternLM just released some really interesting ones.
Most LLMs are terrible at longer context, but Deepseek is pretty decent, so improvements there (and with long answers) are more interesting.
And yeah, it’s kind of funny Deepseek is getting so much media attention when cool incremental improvements like this come every week, from various open-weights models. It’s awesome that they are releasing the weights, but still.
This will get shot down faster than there can even be controversy. Founding fathers would be rolling in their graves, and there‘s no way the Supreme Court can squeeze that kind of interpretation out of the Constitution.
That being said, it may give some state legislators cover to go with it.
It’s like this in corporate world too. They’re trying to get people to resign so they don’t get severance or bad PR for technically firing people
Oh thanks for this.
TBH it’s probably human written.
I used to write small articles for a tech news outlet on the side (HardOCP), and the entire site went under well before the AI boom because no one can compete with conveyer belts of of thoughtless SEO garbage, especially when Google promotes it.
Point being, this was a problem well before the rise of LLMs.
