@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha! yeah sounds about like my HS CS program. A math teacher taught visual basic and pascal. and over on the other end of the school we had “electronics” which was a room next to the auto body class where they had a bunch of random computer parts scavenged from the district decommissioned surplus storage.
The advanced class would piece together training kits for the basic class to put together.

nice run in the rain. spoke to a soldier humping his way through the park in preparation for special forces training. overall run was great, but i did land funny on my left leg which made it sore for the next day or so.

St Petersburg Distance Classic Marathon: 26.41 miles, 00:11:23 average pace, 05:00:39 duration
first marathon down. everything that could go wrong did. honestly i am just proud i did not quit. now i have to look at the run and figure out what i can tweak or add to my training. had a cramp start in my right quad at around mile 15. then around mile 18 both of my calves started to feel odd as if someone was lightly strumming my tendons. then they seized! this continued for the remainder of the marathon where i would walk then try to run and then stop when i had to. then during the entirety of the pace my nose would not stop dripping making it difficult to breathe. ha! also my shorts almost came down twice and i had to re-tie them while carrying my handheld water in my teeth. seriously, so many things i did not expect and had not happened in any previous runs.
really happy to be able to eat spicy food and have some alcoholic beverages again though!

Pinellas County - Easy: 5.05 miles, 00:09:08 average pace, 00:46:08 duration
everything clicked today. kept a steady but mildly progressive pace whilst keeping the heart rate in zone 2 for the most part. nothing felt strained and breathing was easy. this one was a great boost in confidence seeing the progress made in the training and very happy with it.

MC in the US: OSFC, SF, Seattle, Microsoft
I attended the Open Source Firmware Conference (OSFC) on Oct 10-12 in
Sunnyvale, spent a long weekend in San Francisco, took a very long
train ride to Seattle, spent a week in the Seattle area, and held an
intimate talk at Microsoft. Managed to meet friends, drink some nice
beverages, and even see a show but came home with a heavy heart. Then
tried to relax in the cottage.
Riding the High-Speed Brightline Train from Miami to Orlando
It was 11am at the Fort Lauderdale airport, an hour after my non-stop flight to Portland was supposed to have boarded. As I had been watching our estimated departure get pushed back in 15 minute increments, I finally received the dreaded news over the loudspeaker - the flight was cancelled entirely. As hordes of people started lining up to rebook their flights with the gate agent, I found a quiet spot in the corner and opened up my … ⌘ Read more

still host and humid (no surprise) but more cloud cover today. no kids but beth came and was able to cheer me on in a couple of places which was fun. the last bit she yelled “five to go!” which kind of got in my head a bit, albeit i think the heat started to get to me as well. had to take a couple of brief walks just to recollect and focus again. pretty good training run. keeping it in the green for the most part and around marathon pace. can’t wait to see how cooler weather and more training will pay off!

Google Says It'll Scrape Everything You Post Online for AI
⤋ Read More
@marado@twtxt.net It can’t possibly be defensible, which to me always signals an attempt at a power grab. They never explicitly said “we will use anything we scrape from the web to train our AI” before–that’s new. There is growing pushback against that practice, with numerous legal cases winding through the legal system right now. Some day those cases will be heard and decided on by judges. So they’re trying to get out ahead of that, in my opinion, and cement their claims to this data before there’s a precedent set.
Most of the can run locally have such a small training set they arnt worth it. Are more like the Markov chains from the subreddit simulator days.
There is one called orca that seems promising that will be released as OSS soon. Its running at comparable numbers to OpenAI 3.5.
@prologic@twtxt.net You more or less need a data center to run one of these adequately (well, train…you can run a trained one with a little less hardware). I think that’s the idea–no one can run them locally, they have to rent them (and we know how much SaaS companies and VCs love the rental model of computing).
There’s a lot of promising research-grade work being done right now to produce models that can be run on a human-scale (not data-center-scale) computing setup. I suspect those will become more commonly deployed in the next few years.

@prologic hmm, dunno about the recency of that line of thought. I suspect though that given his (recent or not) history, if someone directly asked him "do you support rape" he would not say "no", he'd go on one of these rambling answers about property crime like he did in the video. Maybe I'm mind poisoned by being around academics my whole career, but that way of talking is how an academic gives you an answer they know will be unpopular. PhD = Piled Higher And Deeper, after all right? In other words, if he doesn't say "no" right away, he's saying "yes", except with so many words there's some uncertainty about whether he actually meant yes. And he damn well knows that, and that's why I give him no slack.

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s a fun challenge to see how many words you can say without expressing any ideas at all. Maybe this GPT stuff should be trained to do that!

Det er fjollet og tvetydigt at kalde en model med 6x10^9 parametre for “6B”.

Ikke engang de engelsk-talende lande er enige om store talnavne.
Der findes allerede standard-notation for store tal. Vi burde nok sige “6G” i stedet for “6B”.
