By using zap rank @freetx had the top post this week by RAW SATS.
Thank you! Glad to start getting some of those sweet MSTY divis....
I don't think you are using it wrong, I think using it as a google replacement is completely valid.
I self-host my own llms (using openwebUI interface) and that is something you can do even if you don't want to run llms locally (you configure openwebUI to use your current provider as its backend via API settings).
I mention this because if you are running your own frontend, it allows you to customize things in a way beyond what you get by just using the stock "ChatGPT" interface.
For example, OpenwebUI has these concepts that I use:
- RAG
- Tools
- Skills
I use each of these for different things. As an example, I'm currently reading a philosophy book that is pretty dense and has lots of fairly complicated terms and concepts....so I loaded the epub into my RAG (Knowledge) section of OpenWebUI and then I can "chat with the book".
For Tools and Skills, this allows further customization. A Skill is just a long natural text instruction teaching the LLM how to perform certain tasks. For example for my job we have an "Incident Report" email that must be sent to customers that outlines (a) What went wrong, (b) Why it went wrong, (c) Date/Time server affected, etc....So I created a Skill in my OpenWebUI that allows me to just say: "Draft a Incident Report for XXXXXX" and then it returns a nicely formatted email that I can cut-paste into an email.
Tools are basically just python functions that OpenWebUI can use to extend its abilities, so for instance if you have a SQL database that has data, you could create a function that logs into database and retrieves rows, etc.
Yes, Kasparov was wrong about being beaten by a computer, but it wasn't "AI".
- Deep Blue was brute-force search. It had no specific understanding or reasoning about chess. It was working thru 100-200 million moves per second (going several layers deep) and then scoring each decision tree by using a hand-tuned algorithm developed by Grand Masters IBM hired. If 2 (or more) decision trees scored the same it would just randomly pick one.
- It couldn't learn or adapt during the match. Kasparov exploited this by adjusting his strategy game-to-game, something Deep Blue couldn't do.
- One of its most "brilliant" moves — which psychologically rattled Kasparov — turned out to be a bug that caused it to pick a random valid move.
In the 44th move of the first game of their second match, unknown to Kasparov, a bug in Deep Blue's code led it to enter an unintentional loop, which it exited by taking a randomly selected valid move. Kasparov did not take this possibility into account, and misattributed the seemingly pointless move to "superior intelligence". Subsequently, Kasparov experienced a decline in performance in the following game....

Interestingly, modern LLMs pretty much suck at chess because there are so many permutations of moves that the LLM quickly runs out of patterns in its memory to match against and starts making dumb hallucinated moves.
Funny thing is the lessons from DB-Kasparov has basically made it into every phone, pc, etc. Your phone probably now has enough memory and cpu power to be unbeatable in most cases. Also funny is your phone will probably be able to beat "AI" (ie. LLMs) for a long time due to how differently they approach the game.
One thing that I think is telling of the last 4 or 5 years, has been the causal speaking of good-evil happening in public.
10-15 years ago it was considered deeply embarrassing to talk openly about real forces of good / evil , God, Jesus, etc.
These days, even popular podcasters openly acknowledge it. To me thats one of the "hidden graces" of going thru all this darkness is that people are forced to acknowledge it for what it is.
From what I read about this law yes (but I'm not dutch), so you can buy your fake wash-trade token at $1 and dump price to $0 and then book several quadrillion dollar tax writeoff.
The fundamental issue is at core a WTO issue. When your trade partner is using slave labor, there is no "free trade" and it becomes a race to the bottom.
The actual "free market compliant" real way to rebalance american manufacturing would be to ensure that WTO policies dont allow for slave trade to compete with "free markets" (I have no idea how that would actually be verified or enforced).
Realistically though, WTO is a tool of same big groups who benefit from the imbalanced trade situation, so I don't expect alot of help there.
I don't know much about these models, but I constantly see them....What is the basic difference between the Uncensored and Heretic?
I have also seen that there is evidently different techniques for "uncensoring" a model and some methods more negatively impact the quality of the model more than others....Do you any any insights on that?

Personally I think the cat is out of the bag. I think the days of gambling being just confined to a few geographic jurisdictions is basically over....not saying they won't fight it, not saying they may not secure some wins, but long term its a lost cause.
It would actually just be a smarter move for them to buy polymarket and be done with it.
Well its only on the gains. So assume your asset goes up 10% per year, in effect this reduces it to approx 6.4%
But yes, it is insane. Its massively reducing your gains thereby completely distorting the risk/reward profile.
I remained skeptical of the "AI" story but I'm starting to think it may have legs.
Eventually I think almost everything is going to become a "service for LLMs" - things like each web search, product price comparisons, book an airline flight, rent a room....will become APIs across the board.
I'm not saying that you will "rent your hotel room with Bitcoin" - that may still happen via your credit card for time being, however you may load $10 into your AI Agent account each month and .00015 cents is spent on each API call, paid via LN.
Yeah, thinking about it, I'm not exactly sure how this would work....I mean I can understand "Turn on the light" - but I'm not sure stream-of-consciousness thinking would be useful.
"What year was Rene Descar....(is it daycar...or descar...oh its day)..tes born? (I need to go to store its already 9)...."
I know its a bit a greyarea but I wonder what they define as "a speaker"? What type of fluency does that actually infer?
I ask because I noticed when travelling to Hong Kong (this surprised me initially, but in retrospect not so much), how much english is spoken in trans-asian communication. If you are a Korean biz traveller in Hong Kong you probably don't speak Chinese so you speak English. Now the english is really basic (like my spanish), enough to check into hotel and ask where the taxi stand is...sort of "travelers english".
I asked a Korean friend about this and he said yes there are actually companies that specifically offer courses in that kind of "traveler english" - it ignores many verb tenses and drops lots of articles and just focuses on minimal-viable language approach....so you can say "I need go store...which way?" - I realized that in my own way thats exactly the type of spanish I speak, minimally functional but serviceable
These are the problems that most interest the complexity theorist Henry Yuen (opens a new tab)
Why did it insert that (opens new tab) directive?
Its always hard for me to realize how early On the Road was written. Although it became a real hit in the 60s, it was obviously mostly written in very early 50s (about times in the late 40s!).
I read it when I was a freshman in college and the wild spirit appealed to me, but like lots of that kind of writing (ie. Bukowski), I'm not sure how appealing I would find it now.
Its certainly easy to see though why it was so influential. There is an interesting sort of undercurrent that connects Kerouac - Burroughs - Dylan together.
In some sense, although all 3 came to be very much associated with 60s culture, all 3 pretty much were more or less apolitical and even fairly traditional in their core outlook (Kerouac mainly considered On the Road a story about two catholic friends searching for God...)
Funny that all 3 of these were heavily tied into Ginsburg, the famous hard-leftist poet, but they each in different ways all rejected leftism to various degrees.
I find Dylan to be somehow the funniest example of that. During the entire 60s they all tried to make Dylan "the voice of our generation" a title he always refused. By 1967-68 Dylan moved to upstate New York with his wife Sara and kids....the town he lived in was very close to a little place called Woodstock.
The organizers of "Woodstock" entire goal was to setup a hippy music festival with Dylan serving as kind of the spiritual center of it all....they all converged on the that town because thats where Dylan lived and they thought they would be able to convince him to headline the festival. Sad for them, Dylan flatly refused, and was often calling the cops on the hippies who were trying to drop by his house to discuss things like politics and organic farming with him....
i wonder if a person could also then use the dips as a tax write-off as well?
In theory you could. So you could just do reverse and get a 36 quadrillion dollar tax writeoff which could then use that to shelter your real BTC gains.
Exactly, send the coins to a Dutch based charity that accepts crypto donations.
From a practical level this would certainly blow up the derivatives market, since notionally its worth several quadrillion dollars.....every financial future, hedge, stock option, etc would now need to comply.
Such a powerful representation of Christ.
Anyone who grew up in the west, we can get a little over-accustomed to lots of the Christ imagery, but its really fascinating.
The presentation of God - the most powerful force in the universe - is shown not as an awesome or terrifyingly powerful image, but as a lamb being led to slaughter.
