    I think the bottom image is certainly a better representation of reality than the top one. If I had to guess at proportions I'd skew things a bit differently, but it gets the point across.

    Seems about right. I think in general most people are afraid to speak up against things. But in an unbiased sampling of 50 men you'd have at least one that would go to the police immediately.

    I feel like a group chat of ~50 that has 7 people eager to commit rape isn't a good source for people willing to stop rape in the process of being committed.

    women shouting "You say not all men but not one of you spoke up? Not a single man?!"

    I have it. Very excellent product. Their marketing is cringey but their quality is high.

    That was probably Llama 3.3 70B fine tuned on Deepseek. It wasn’t well labeled. True Deepseek at the time was 671B.

    I ran deepseek a few years ago when it just came out

    Presumably deepseek distilled into a smaller model?

    There's some interesting stuff happening. People are trying to get large models, like 1 trillion parameters, running within 64GiB of RAM on Apple computers by streaming weights off of the very fast storage. Last I saw it ran at like 1 or 2 tokens per second but it's promising.

    Edit: We might end up in a world where OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. are unnecessary for most LLM users. Between Chinese models and self-hosting it's not unrealistic.

    Just mod that in? Client side mods handle that well. Unlike mods that add gameplay changes, like dimensions, Mojang adding new dimensions provides functionality you can easily experience with others. If it’s a personal UI enhancement there’s no need for it to be in the base game.

    I have a server with those RTX 6000s in it. Yesterday I vibe-coded an agent that can access an organization's mediawiki website as well as search the accompanying Discord server. It can respond in Discord channels and DMs citing wiki pages and Discord messages. It can also review your memes since I added the vision part of the model. The hardware necessary to run it would be ~$2500. It's actually pretty useful because you can have it summarize tremendously long arguments between people instead of needing to dig through 10,000 words yourself.

    Normally I'd find something like this kind of gross, but because it's 100% self-hosted and has no write access (outside of message replies), no memories or other persistent state, and operates within our k8s cluster where the wiki is it's something I'm happy to have around.

    but they all ended up outsourcing and splitting the team across the world so the office became disused.

    As someone that does not like remote work, and I get everyone has their preferences, but if I’m joining a team management needs to be able to tell me if it’s genuinely in office or actually a hodge podge of in office and people across many time zones. I don’t want to come into an office and half of seats are empty with all meetings taking place over Zoom.

    I love how good local models are and how optimized the software is. I was gifted a couple of old workstation cards (Turing generation RTX 6000s) and put them to use hosting Qwen 3.8 27B. With llama.cpp I can split the weights across the cards so they run in parallel. Multiple requests can batch together. I get 60 tok/s for one request or 40 tok/s each for two concurrent requests. And the model’s way smarter than it should be given the size. In a few years new mid-range consumer hardware will actually be hosting models that are worth running.

    I've been doing a lot of work where I have a GLM 5.3 sub-agent launched for every file in a repo (for small projects) and then hand over findings to Fable or Opus to prune.

    I've realized as an adult how powerful it is to have people believe in you by default. Being able to show up somewhere, say "I can accomplish that" without direct proof you've done exactly that before, and have people give you the benefit of the doubt is a huge multiplier on life.
