So, when was it released? Did one of them get it right? Or are all readers about this article on LLM (non-)capabilities expected to be familiar with Cisco's product lines?

Search Google for it seems not turn up easy to verify results.

On Amazon available since Sep 2018:

But is it the right model? Does the release date actually matter to anyone?

I wonder what changed with the models that created regression?
oezi · a day ago
There is some speculation that GPT-5 uses a router to decide which expert model to deploy (e.g. to mini vs o/thinking models). So the router might decide that the query can be solved by a cheaper model and this model gives worse results.

VW and all the group cars problem is that their electric cars are bad. Remember those Audi that at 10k told customers to change the engine oil?

ID3 and others are curious cars. People have so many problems and software issues that it is funny how they still sell some cars. Those cars are regular cars that they stripped the engine and put an electric motor. Then sell it. After sell loads of cars, they started thinking about software and how an electric car might be diferent.

Who remembers their CEO for many times to say that they were about to pass Tesla in sales? When they almost had no cars or sales. Poor man, without medication, it is very hard to say something with meaning or have a clue about reality.

But the summary of this is simple: extortion.

This is the same company that created illegal cars and sold them. Then they got caught. Then they were to become the best electric cars. Then we got to see the crap of ID3 up to ID7! Remember it got rain and broke?

Let's hope they close that thing. Not the sausages, those are good and they sell them more than cars.

Still, Audi could get their engines from Honda. Fixed!

Well, even if they are so bad they still started to dominate EV car sales in Europe because Elon dropped the ball.

I inherited an ID3 and while I can say the software and entertainment system in general isn't great I think it is a solid car. If you look at how the cars improved by variant and versions over the last 4 years then it is quite remarkable. Cheap plastic gone, charging DC now at 185 kw, you have GTX versions with more HP than anybody would need.

Going EV is life-or-death for all car manufacturers. Who with the exception of Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and VW is doing a good job of the old manufacturers?

It's kinda funny that Americans look at the German economy and think they want to be in that situation. You would rather have an economy based on manufacturing cars, rather than one based on leading in tech? You sure?
oezi · 12 days ago
The German economy is indeed heavily influenced by its manufacturing sector and its reliance on large trade surplusses. Consequently the German workers can't be granted huge wage increases because it would reduce their competitiveness internationally.

In contrast the US economy is service-based and thus isn't constrained to scale their prices up so much. Of course manufacturing becomes very hard to maintain when skilled workers can earn >100k.

All stats show that top US tech companies earn incredible amounts of money but their share of GDP growth isn't as big as the Mag7 share of the stock markets makes you think. (<15% of GDP growth in 2024)

“the overall climate is changing due solely to human influence.”

Way past anything scientific. Spend 2 minutes googling “anthrophemoric co2 percentage”

oezi · 13 days ago
Well solely is dramatizing but to a large extend it is true that the clima is changing because of human actions.

Certainly the rise in Co2 from 280 ppm to 420 ppm since the onset of industrialization is rather very likely due to human actions.

> Aren't there plenty of places out of reach for Europol and the FBI, etc.?

There are a few problems with this question, but lets start with

Where is "out of reach for Europol and the FBI"?

oezi · 13 days ago
I mean I rarely read that they nab anyone outside of Europe/the US. But would have assumed the middle east, south east asia, post-soviet republics. If this guy is Russian speaking why not Russia?

I meant scaling the base training before RL.
