Comment on Natural language autoencoders in ~tech
pete_the_paper_boat (edited )LinkNLAs hallucinate. NLA explanations frequently contain claims about the context that are verifiably false. These are often easy to catch by checking against the transcript, but the same failure could extend to claims about the model's internal processing, which are harder to verify. This makes NLAs difficult to rely on.
We find that NLA runs do not consistently help the auditor discover more behavioral quirks in the target model. We see a noticeable but small bump in performance according to the Rubric (out of four possible points) for NLA runs.

pete_the_paper_boat Link ParentThere was a tweet where the bun team announced the rewrite. Implying it was because the Zig team didn't want their compiler improvements because of AI. Which I still believe to be posted in bad faith.There were no shots fired here

Also the movie is banned in Germany.
I don't think it is, iirc they simply refused to give it a rating which means it can't be distributed there. Same outcome, different implications.

And I still don't see it appear in state news outlets, only after the fact, like...How many times do we have to grovel so this horseshit doesn't pass? I'm increasingly worried that it no longer matters what we petition for.
It doesn't. It's clear that it's been incredibly inconvenient that people have been so loud about this issue. And I still don't see it appear in state news outlets, only after the fact, like previous votes.

There's a severe lack of knowledge around investing. If you know where to look, it's clear that investing in an IPO generally isn't good on the short or mid term. And any financial reports for $SPCX should've raised red flags.
And then there's the large group of people who likely don't even know whether their 401k is involved or not.
People buying the IPO should know better, but I don't think this situation is very funny either.
I've heard some online day traders say that the real winners amongst them were the people buying another stock (private equity firms owning $SPCX) in anticipation of people buying the IPO. Who'd just sell the moment the company went public.

To be really honest, 16GB seems like way too much for a single player vanilla experience. And if you're playing on servers, even with mods I'd be surprised to ever see the client go beyond 5GB of usage..
