  • Think might be this:

    What is distillation?

    Distillation is a means of extracting understanding from another model; you can send inputs to the teacher model and record the outputs, and use that to train the student model. This is how you get models like GPT-4 Turbo from GPT-4. Distillation is easier for a company to do on its own models, because they have full access, but you can still do distillation in a somewhat more unwieldy way via API, or even, if you get creative, via chat clients.

    Distillation obviously violates the terms of service of various models, but the only way to stop it is to actually cut off access, via IP banning, rate limiting, etc. It’s assumed to be widespread in terms of model training, and is why there are an ever-increasing number of models converging on GPT-4o quality. This doesn’t mean that we know for a fact that DeepSeek distilled 4o or Claude, but frankly, it would be odd if they didn’t.

    Welcome to the world, there's a reason we signed up to a 300 billion dollar deal for some submarines and it's not because we enjoy the look of them

  • Why not? That was 10 years ago and they're trying to be profitable in a space that is extremely difficult to make profit.

  • The video discusses the growing political divide, particularly focusing on how men, especially young men, are shifting towards the right politically.

    The narrator critiques the Democratic Party's efforts to appeal to this demographic, highlighting various missteps and tone-deaf attempts at outreach. Here are the key points:

    Gender Divide: The video starts by noting the increasing toxicity in gender discourse, with examples of anti-male sentiments from media and social media.

    Political Shift: There's a discussion on how young men are moving towards the Republican Party, while young women are leaning more towards the Democrats. This shift is particularly notable in recent election data.

    Democratic Party's Struggles: The narrator criticizes the Democratic Party's last-minute efforts to win over young male voters, such as creating spaces for white men and using Tim Walz as a "secret weapon" to appeal to male voters. These efforts are seen as superficial and ineffective.

    Social Media Reactions: The video includes reactions from social media, highlighting the divisive and often dismissive attitudes towards men's concerns. Some tweets suggest that men need to "be better" or are inherently problematic.

    Critique of Pandering: The narrator mocks the Democratic Party's attempts to pander to men, such as ads featuring Tim Walz doing stereotypically masculine activities. These efforts are seen as insincere and condescending.

    Bernie Sanders: The video mentions Bernie Sanders as an example of a candidate who successfully spoke to the demographic the Democrats are now struggling to reach. His focus on working-class issues is highlighted as naturally attractive to men.

    Call for Change: The narrator expresses frustration with the Democratic Party's messaging and calls for a more inclusive and effective approach to win back young men. The video ends with a plea for the party to evaluate what they're doing wrong and make changes for the betterment of society.

    Overall, the video is a critique of the Democratic Party's strategies and a call for more genuine and effective outreach to young male voters.


    This is the influence we get from America flooding in

    Basically left wing progressives are inherently anti-male and anti-white male and social media helps amplify and push these beliefs far and wide because left wing progressives and women are supplying them with easy content

    5.5 million views jesus

    and I had these videos endlessly appear on my youtube homepage for ages because I watched MMA

    Combine that with a lot of guys not doing great in life and then they get to see plenty of women being given a hand (admittedly this was a 30 second search, I don't want to even imagine how far and wide these programs and monetary advantages that are being given to women extend to):

    https://www.vic.gov.au/womens-board-leadership-program

    In recent years, Victoria has seen great progress in the representation of women on boards, with women now making up 54% of all public board positions in 2023

    So when women already make up a majority of board positions and they still get given more advantages regardless:

    The Victorian Government is sponsoring 50 women

    The 2023 Diploma of Governance scholarship will provide governance training and networking for all women to advance their board careers in the not-for-profit sector.

    And yeah, you're going to breed resentment when men apply and get denied and then look up why

    Anyway I gotta stop procrastinating on me studies so not going to put much effort in after this post

  • https://www.nomic.ai/blog/posts/gpt4all-scaling-test-time-compute

    This release introduces the GPT4All Javascript Sandbox, a secure and isolated environment for executing code tool calls. When using Reasoning models equipped with Code Interpreter capabilities, all code runs safely in this sandbox, ensuring user security and multi-platform compatibility.


    I use LM Studio as well but between this and LM Studios bug where LLM's larger than 8b won't load I've gone back to gpt4all

  • Do you actually feel attacked? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone criticised for like being strong and capable

    I don't get it, where is the link between being attacked and being strong and capable?

  • that’s interesting, in gpt4all they have the qwen reasoner v1 and it will run the code in a sandbox (for javascript anyway) and if it errors it will fix itself

  • Ukraine is no less European than Norway or the UK

    I think in the context of Europe sure, in the context of integration into the wider Western European ecosystem no.

    If Russia had invaded Norway or the UK NATO would have been engaged from minute 1 and Russians would have been exterminated like cockroaches on day 1

    Poles and the Baltics have been shouting “you’re idiots” from the top of their lungs, we ignored them, considered their shouting to be the result of PTSD. Which yes I mean it is but also they were right.

    Yep there were plenty of warning signs, and this is probably one of the few times (as much as it fucking kills me to say it) that Trump has been spot on:

    Word for Word: President Trump Strongly Criticized Germany at Start of NATO Summit (C-SPAN) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXqZf72pAhk

    If a fucking moron like Trump can spot a problem (and end up being right about it) then I think the EU is making some serious mistakes.

  • tbh Ukraine was almost in a different era before Euromaidan, once they did that it cemented them as pro-west not potentially pro-west, and it's unfortunate that as soon as it cemented it was moving away from Russia it was attacked by it, this timing was precise by Putin, it leaves it open to the fact that Ukraine hasn't had enough time to fully integrate into the EU meaning that Europe doesn't see it as one of its own, in the same way an attack on Italy would be seen.

    For those who haven't seen this is a bit exaggerated American style but still really good movie:

  • the people of sydney are genociding people? that’d be news to the people of sydney

  • who didn’t read the article 🫵

  • Me every time I have to read about Trump :(

  • Yep I rate Melbournes trams quite hard, they helped us out when we were down there for the formula1 twice, we walked 99% of the time except at the end when we were literally too tired to walk anymore!

    Melbourne doesn’t have a train to the Airport either (currently) and all attempts are receiving severe political roadblocks.

    Ridiculous!

  • I don't see any mass migration to PT without the infra changes along with it, Brisbane doesn't even have a cheap train to the airport and when I have to catch a train to the city for work my trip time doubles compared to my motorbike and I still have to use my car to get to the station... and that's assuming I'm not 1 minute late and miss the train so then you have to add another 30 minute wait in :( ... but at least we are getting some improvements with cross river rail.

    At the moment the best bet that I can see to reduce co2 emissions is to encourage EV adoption because at least it is something familiar to people and until the infra changes required to make the place a '15 minute city' come along it's the best chance we have to reduce co2.
