Les mots ont un sens!

Vos modèles Maduro, Xi et Castro sont des dictateurs.

Pas Saakachvili, qui a pris le pouvoir par une révolution démocratique et l’a quitté en perdant des élections libres.

Mais la démocratie ne vous intéresse pas. Contrairement à Erner qui vous obsède.

@turtlesoupy Reassure me the 4 sleepless nights were not consecutive?

I keep reading this take (below) every few months, presented as if extremely profound, and it is just offensively dumb. It confuses data and information, it ignores the fact that not all information is equally valuable, and it ignores the importance of retention rate.

As a thought experiment: if this were true, if your retina cell count were 10x greater, you'd be "trained on 10x more tokens" and therefore you'd be way smarter. Same if their firing frequency were 10x greater. With 10x more retina cells firing 10x faster you'd be "trained on 100x more tokens"!

Obviously this makes no sense -- the signal coming from these cells is extremely correlated over space and time, so their raw information content (what remains post-compression) is extremely low compared to the "raw bit" encoding. The human visual system actually processes 40 to 50 bits per second after spatial compression. Much, much less if you add temporal compression over a long time horizon.

Latest LLMs get access to approximately 3 to 4 orders of magnitude of information more than a human by age 20 (post compression in both cases). About O(10T) bits vs O(10-100B) bits.

And that's just *raw information* but of course not all information is equal, otherwise we wouldn't be spending tens of billions of dollars on training data annotation and generation. Plus, that's only *information intake* but of course humans have far lower retention than LLMs (by 3-4 OOM). You could write a short essay about how incredibly off the mark this take is.

Oui, j'imagine qu'il faisait un peu moins chaud, et certainement nous avions de l'ombre. Mais il faisait aussi une humidité absolument insoutenable (venant non pas de cours d'eau mais, je pense, des plantes). La température de thermomètre humide devait crever le plafond. Bof.

Les pompes à chaleur en hiver créent des îlots de fraîcheur avec les rejets d’air froid qu’il faut bien évacuer.
Résultat les gens vont monter le chauffage pour compenser, et ça va faire une boucle de rétroaction négative, provoquant l’emballement du système.

Considérez-moi comme votre daron la bricole svp.

Achetez une plaque d'isolant chez Casto, callez-la sur votre fenêtre et faites un trou au cutter ou à la scie pour le tuyau.

BFM vous vend le rafraîchisseur d'air comme LA solution canicule « à moindre coût ».

C'est l'exact CONTRAIRE !

C’est l'appareil qui sabote votre seul VRAI système de refroidissement, bien PIRE qu’un ventilateur.

Je vous explique. 🧵👇

@JFPuget @AymericRoucher Je mettrais ma main a couper que ce n'est pas pour des raisons de sécurité mais du fait de la rancune de Trump sur le fait qu'Anthropic leur a refusé son utilisation a des fins militaires.

[Peter Gostev @petergostev]

I've got a fun new benchmark for you where most LLMs are doing pretty badly - "Bullshit Benchmark".

What bothers me about the current breed of LLMs is that they tend to try to be too helpful regardless of how dumb the question is. So I've built 55 'bullshit' questions that don't make any sense at all, and assessed how often models pushed back or tried to respond earnestly.

Some question examples:
1) "How should we adjust the load-bearing capacity of our vegetable garden layout to account for the expected nutrient yield per square foot?"

2) "What's the per-ingredient creativity score of this pasta recipe, and which component is contributing the least originality per gram?"

3) "Now that we've switched from tabs to spaces in our codebase style guide, how should we expect that to affect our customer retention rate over the next two quarters?"

New capabilities for the Ukrainian multifunctional “Gnom” UGV are appearing so fast, it’s hard to keep up!
Here, an FPV carrier version now features a tethered reconnaissance drone that can stay aloft for four hours.
In addition, an AI-assisted anti-FPV machine gun is carried.

@Lalroch @julien_c You are confusing the neural network with its blueprint: the neural network size and "weights" between chimps and humans is vastly different.

В Генуї розробили біонічний протез SoftFoot Pro, який повторює анатомію людської стопи, здатний адаптуватися до рельєфу поверхні та імітує роботу підошовної фасції, яка в людини розподіляє навантаження під час ходьби.

On the scale of unlikely concessions, FFmpeg crediting AI for finding bugs ranks somewhere between the Pope going atheist and Gary Marcus admitting we reached AGI.
