  • The "AI PC" specification requires a minimum of 40TOPs of AI compute which is over double the 18TOPs in the current M3s. Direct comparison doesn't really work though.

    What really matters is how it's made available for development. The Neural engine is basically a black box. It can't be incorporated into any low level projects because it's only made available through a high-level swift api. Intel by comparison seems to be targeting pytorch acceleration with their libraries.

  • This article is grossly overstating the findings of the paper. It's true that bad generated data hurts model performance, but that's true of bad human data as well. The paper used opt125M as their generator model, a very small research model with fairly low quality and often incoherent outputs. The higher quality generated data which makes up a majority of the generated text online is far less of an issue. The use of generated data to improve output consistency is a common practice for both text and image models.

  • Don't buy a Chromebook for linux. While driver support usually isn't an issue, the alternative keyboard layout is terrible for most applications. To even get access to all of the normal keys that many applications expect you need to configure multi-key shortcuts which varies in complexity based on your DE. In most cases it will also void your warranty because of the custom firmware requirement.

  • I got locked out of my now 8+ year old account because I had set it up with an old ISP provided email which has since been deactivated. I can't migrate because I have to verify with the email and I can't change the email without setting up security questions, which also requires the email. Support can do nothing.

  • I don't think they care about the images being used, just the disruption of service. It's pretty clear that this wasn't a coordinated thing from Stability and was at most a lone individual acting in bad faith.

    It's pretty ironic though that the company that practices mass scraping has no rate limits to prevent outages due to mass scraping.

  • There should be no difference because the video track hasn't been touched. Some software will display the length of the longest track rather than the length of the main video track. It's likely that the the audio track was originally longer than the video track and because of the offset it's now shorter.

    You can use tools like ffmpeg and mediainfo to count the actual frames in each to verify.

  • According to the article:

    They are asking a federal judge to say yes to this, specifically:

    Developing or distributing software, including Yuzu, that in its ordinary course functions only when cryptographic keys are integrated without authorization, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s prohibition on trafficking in devices that circumvent effective technological measures, because the software is primarily designed for the purpose of circumventing technological measures.

    So I think they're definitely intending to set precedent with this case, though this settlement hasn't been accepted by the court yet.

  • I believe USB-C is the only connector supported for carrying DisplayPort signals other than DisplayPort itself.

    The biggest issue with USB-C for display in my opinion is that cable specs vary so much. A cable with a type c end could carry anywhere from 60-10000MB/s and deliver anywhere from 5-240W. What's worse is that most aren't labeled, so even if you know what spec you need you're going to have a hell of a time finding it in a pile of identical black cables.

    Not that I dislike USB-C. It's a great connector, but the branding of USB has always been a mess.

  • This is big if true, but we'll have to see how well it holds up at larger scales.

    The size of the paper is a bit worrying but the authors are all very reputable. Several were also contributors on the retnet and kosmos2/2.5 papers.

  • This looks like an ad. They go on about what their proprietary detection method found without any details about how it came to these conclusions or even how they generated the test data. They give 0 actual examples for any of their claims.

    Here's the original blog post the article is referencing: https://copyleaks.com/blog/copyleaks-ai-plagiarism-analysis-report

  • Koboldcpp should allow you to run much larger models with a little bit of ram offloading. There's a fork that supports rocm for AMD cards: https://github.com/YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm

    Make sure to use quantized models for the best performace, q4k_M being the standard.
