This is one of the "smartest" models you can fit on a 24GB GPU now. It feels big and insightful, like a better (albeit dry) Llama 3.3 70B with thinking, and with a bit more world knowledge than QwQ 32B, but comfortably fits thanks the new exl3 quantization!
You need to use a backend that support exl3, like (at the moment) text-gen-web-ui or (soon) TabbyAPI.
Open borders are good because they balance age demographics between countries that skew too old, and poorer countries struggling to support massive birthrates. It gives the immigrants opportunity, their relatives back home wealth, and the “host” country young productivity. It also ties countries together culturally.
I’m not sure where you’re going with that.
And on automation, another big problem is just… enshittification. It’s like we’ve burned all these efficiency gains with horrendous systems, with workers grinding away doing basically nothing useful.
Runaway capitalism 100% did that. It also diverts so much production to be wasted by billionaires.
…But, like, mass communism wave could still have similar problems, minus the billionaires. Lots of other systems would too, depending on where you look.
I think a lot of society just needs to be “simplified” and more a-la-carte instead of ideologically driven. I often cite TSMC as an example, which shifted between straight up despotic, state sponsored socialism, democratic capitalism with a lot of private investment, and stuff in between (mixed with a lot of international cooperation) to get to a kind of “best case” where they are today. Could do better, of course (maybe as a worker/researcher owned coop?)
…I’m going way off topic though.
Yeah, there’s an extremely unfortunate intersection with a very bad line of thinking, polluting the argument.
If those eugenics guys really cared, they wouldn’t be trying to firebomb immigration, parent welfare, or wealth redistribution to young people. They just want to purge ‘others’ like a WH40K meme.
Hard disagree.
This video (from kurzgesagt) completely changed my perspective: https://youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk
For this exact reason cited in the OP article.
But the bigger problem with Walsh’s argument is that it only makes sense if you care about the quantity of human life more than the quality of human life.
The video illustrates it better than I can, but basically, underpopulation is societally destabilizing and makes people miserable. It reduces quality of life.
It works if we live in a utopian future where people are living longer working lives, staying young longer, automation is reducing job loads, governments are smart, immigration is free and open, global warming isn’t a looming crisis, AI will solve all sorts of problems…
But we don’t.
In the near term, we need a big mass of young people to take care of retired people, otherwise those young people are utterly miserable because they have to work their butts off to support a huge retired population. Again, you can wave your hands and say “automation! immigration! reduced hours!” but that fantasy is clearly not where the world is headed to. Technology is much closer to addressing overpopulation issues, and then we can worry about plateauing birthrates once we got robot butlers taking care of our elders and making their stuff.
The US hasn’t dealt with this because we are privileged enough to have a massive influx of immigrants (who skew young), but we are royally screwing that up.
I despise how this article tries to write it off as an ideological belief, like you’re a Musk loving fool for thinking this.
…I realize I’m probably posting this in the wrong sub. And I’d love to be wrong, but that article is not selling it for me.
Chatbots are text completion models, improv machines basically, so they don’t really have that ability. You could look at logprobs I guess (aka is it guessing a bunch of words pretty evenly?), but that’s unreliable. Even adding a “I don’t know” token wouldn’t work because that’s not really trainable into text datasets: they don't know when they don’t know, it’s all just modeling what next word is most likely.
Some non-autoregressive architectures would be better, but unfortunately “cutting edge” models people interact with like ChatGPT are way more conservatively developed than you’d think. Like, they’ve left tons of innovations unpicked.
The memo says the Defense Department is returning to the Biden-era medical policy for transgender service members due to a court order that struck down Hegseth’s restrictions as unconstitutional. The administration is appealing the move, but a federal appeals court in California denied the department’s effort to halt the policy while its challenge is pending.
So the court ordered them too.
The article is making it out like the DoD is "defying" Hegseth, but that seems like a misrepresentaion, as it seems he has to go along with this.
I guess it's a "win" because the DoD isn't openly defying an order...
Yeah, that's the thing. Even if you buy the idea of Trump's policies (which TBH have a few grains of truth), the implementations of them are so full of nonsense. Like, ok, get Canada into the US, let's just roll with that for the sake of argument... It might make Canada and the US stronger, like the openness between the states does. It would consolidate many federal functions. Canda could retain their culture like individual states do. Sounds plausible.
...And your plan is to get them to join as one state, and only if they grovel to you, by harassing them on Twitter, offering zero details? Like, what world is he living in?
Oh yeah, its more than that. Low weight helps acceleration, braking (so safety), handling, range, wear on every component, and most of all, cost. The same sized tires will need less pressure, wear much less, and grip harder. If the car is lighter, you don't need as stiff a chassis, nor as much braking to lock the wheels, less battery, motor, which means you can take even more weight off the car... You get where I'm going.
Racecars are fast because they are light, not because they have big engines and expensive bodies. Little 1500lb cars can lap a $3 million 1500hp (and quite heavy, because of all the stuff in it) Bugatti around a track.
Heavy cars can handle OK, but the cost is big.
So... where is that outrage from preppers and gun enthusaists of the government barging into their homes?
Can you image if Biden, Obama, or even Bush did this?
There would literally be a massive armed mob outside the White House.
Turns out guns are useless in the face of propaganda, I guess.
Robinson declined to release her name or age, only confirming that she has been in the U.S. about six years, but has no legal status. Her daughters were born in the U.S. Their father lives in Detroit.

Weight is everything. Removing it makes almost literally every aspect of a car better, and it’s usually a terrible negative for EVs.
I think OP means "the mediocre, least bad intersection between critical mass and topical discussion."
Like, you can probably find users/subs about universities/fields and actually find people in them to respond. Lemmy is great, but good luck finding a mass of discussion around a niche location/field.
Reddit is horrible and deteriorating, yes, but still.
“Just an organizational problem” is a hell of a problem though.
We’d already be transcendent if it weren’t for that little thing, heh.
Organization aside, it’s also (IMO) a productivity issue without enough automation to take care of elders, or good enough healthcare to keep them “young.” Unless you want to force old people to work.
