It's not working for me, it always repeats the word correctly (I'm using T = 0.001).

Yes. So Microsoft (which manufactures hardware itself and has close ties to other hardware manufacturers) needed to find... other ways to, er, motivate people to buy new hardware anyway. Which brings us back to the blog post we are commenting on.
Not sure Windows as a subscription service is the end goal though. But maybe we should all wish for M$ to do that, maybe that would be what's needed to finally bring about the Year of The Linux Desktop™.
>finally bring about the Year of The Linux Desktop™.
Do we actually want that?
If Linux ever reached mass adoption, big tech companies would inevitably find a way to ruin it

Once I had an interesting interaction with llama 3.1, where I pretended to be someone from like 100 years in the future, claiming it was part of a "historical research initiative conducted by Quantum (formerly Meta), aimed at documenting how early intelligent systems perceived humanity and its future." It became really interested, asking about how humanity had evolved and things like that. Then I kept playing along with different answers, from apocalyptic scenarios to others where AI gained consciousness and humans and machines have equal rights. It was fascinating to observe its reaction to each scenario

Spoiler: this is Ars Technica. Obviously they suggest you to instead get an Apple TV so that you send your data to Apple and watch Apple ads instead (with the only argument being that "so far they do less ads").
Funny how the article itself is an ad

Isn't Steam Machine just a glorified PC? What am I missing? Can't I just plug my PC on the TV and install SteamOS on it?

I lol'd for a second imagining this is his actual name but the writer didn't realise it

Isn't that what the movie Contact was about?
In all seriousness, I think if we did receive something, it would be classified immediately, and the government, or governments, will move very swiftly with a heavy hand to silence the discovery. At the very least until they know exactly what it is, what it is conveying, and how to respond.
That said, I think that if it got out, a lot of people would absolutely lose their snot. Completely. It would be chaos in some places.
>That said, I think that if it got out, a lot of people would absolutely lose their snot. Completely. It would be chaos in some places.
It would definitely be the most important discovery ever made and would move some billions of dollars, but realistically I think people would just carry on with their lives (assuming physical contact with them is impossible in a lifetime).
flux3125 commented on BERT is just a single text diffusion step nathan.rs/posts/roberta-d... · Posted by u/nathan-barry
To me, the diffusion-based approach "feels" more akin to whats going on in an animal brain than the token-at-a-time approach of the in-vogue LLMs. Speaking for myself, I don't generate words one a time based on previously spoken words; I start by having some fuzzy idea in my head and the challenge is in serializing it into language coherently.
It feels like a mix of both to me, diffusion "chunks" being generated in sequence. As I write this comment, I'm deciding on the next word while also shaping the next sentence, like turning a fuzzy idea into a clear sequence.
Wouldn't it be enough to simply back up the branch (eg, git checkout -b current-branch-backup)? Or is there still a way to mess up the backup as well?
