We probably won't be able to run it on regular PCs, even with a 5090. So I am curious how good the results will be using a quntized version.

shikon7 · 20 days ago

You can run it with a 5090 and the standard ComfyUI template, it just offloads some parts to RAM. Image generation takes about a minute for sizes like 1024x1024.

The alignment has certainly become stronger though. Llama 3.1 is trivial to decensor with abliteration and Heretic's optimizer will rapidly converge to parameters that completely stomp out refusals, while for gpt-oss and Qwen3, most parameter configurations barely have an effect and it takes much longer to reach something that even slightly lowers the refusal rate.

It seems to me that thinking models are harder to decensor, as they are trained to think whether to accept your request.

I wonder if printed books were just as controversial when the printing press was invited.

Because the ML ecosystem is more mature on the NVidia side. Software-wise the cuda platform is more advanced. It will be hard for AMD to catch up. It is good to see competition tho.

shikon7 · 2 months ago

But the article shows that the Nvidia ecosystem isn't that mature either on the DGX Spark with ARM64. I wonder if Nvidia is still ahead for such use cases, all things considered.

I like that it's priced at 139

shikon7 · 2 months ago

For full effect, it should be priced 100 in Switzerland and 139 in the US

shikon7 · 2 months ago

Seems we're now at a point of time when OCR is doing so well, that printing text out and letting computers literally read it is suggested to be superior to processing the endoded text directly.

shikon7 commented on Most users cannot identify AI bias, even in training data psu.edu/news/bellisario-c... · Posted by u/giuliomagnifico

WalterBright · 2 months ago

We're all biased, often unwittingly. But some tells for blatant bias:

* only facts supporting one point of view are presented

* reading the minds of the subjects of the article

* use of hyperbolic words

* use of emotional appeal

* sources are not identified

shikon7 · 2 months ago

But maybe your tells are also biased. If you're truly unbiased, then

* any facts supporting another view are by definiton biased, and should not be presented

* you have the only unbiased objective interpretation of the minds of the subjects

* you don't bias against using words just because they are hyperbolic

* something unbiased would inevitably be boring, so you need emotional appeal to make anyone care about it

* since no sources are unbiased, identifying any of them would inevitably lead to a bias

Wild that people would downvote your low stake personal opinion given as a direct ask from OP. I am 100% with you.

Google Glass was so much before its time, it might be reinvented a few more times and abandoned again before finally becoming a success.

AI photographer packages will replace IRL photoshoots.

AI models are getting so good at creating realistic photographs with just some selfies. So why do we need human photgraphers? iPhone photos + AI seems to do the trick for most.

Thhink professional headshots, graduation photos, weddings, family portraits...

The entire photography profession is disrupted.

> And makes me wonder if this is gonna cause more pushback regarding the rust in the kernel movement.

Does this have anything at all to do with the kernel?

shikon7 · 3 months ago

No, and I expect kernel developers to be much more careful not to break anything with Rust rewrites.
