I think it’s more likely a compound sigmoid (don’t Google that). LLMs are composed of distinct technologies working together. As we’ve reached the inflection point of the scaling for one, we’ve pivoted implementations to get back on track. Notably, context windows are no longer an issue. But the most recent pivot came just this week, allowing for a huge jump in performance. There are more promising stepping stones coming into view. Is the exponential curve just a series of sigmoids stacked too close together? In any case, the article’s correct - just adding more compute to the same exact implementation hasn’t enabled scaling exponentially.

They also want you to check out of politics. Really, chaos is a win-win for them.

Oh. I guess they could take the sky from me.

Premium Lite is hilarious branding. “Oh, it’s high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite”

Vote for hate. Get no love.

I dunno about it being unnatural. It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves. [/Arnie accent] But I don’t doubt that there are powers stoking that fire, hoping that if they accelerate collapse in a particular way, they can come out on top. Eat the most futures, and you may prolong your present. [Insert Saturn Devouring His Son]

But officer, the trash… it was stinky!

I do think it’s rude to put dog bags in people’s private trash, but at least they picked it up. I dunno, I just pull my can off the street when it’s not trash day. But my can already smells like my own dog’s shit, so /shrug

I’ve got a dog that’s 1/4 chihuahua and the rest heeler/shepherd. You can really tell when those chihuahua genes kick in.

Don’t tell me what I can’t do!

I’ll be the smoke monster in a few seasons anyway.

I think that’s distortion from the fabric, though I can’t quite tell if that’s printed or projected onto the curtain.

The Justices of the Louisiana Supreme Court as well as Supreme Court staff became aware of the typographical error during the course of the October 2024 Bar Admissions ceremony. The artwork for the seal was provided by an outside entity and unfortunately, the typographical error was not discovered prior to the ceremony. The Justices were very troubled by the inadvertent error, which has regrettably detracted from attention on the accomplishments of the new admittees, and have implemented steps to ensure that this does not happen again. -fwiw

I feel like I need to point out that student loan forgiveness was in the hundreds of billions and was the most direct thing they could do to actually help longterm… since medical reform is apparently a non-starter per Obama’s efforts. Climate change will continue to make everything worse, but I guess we can try to artificially prop things up to delay and worsen externalities coming home to roost. /shrug

I’m not here to come at you, but do you really think Biden is the reason times are hard? When they managed to get $170,000,000,000 of student debt forgiven, and the Republicans blocked an additional $430,000,000,000, that didn’t stick with people?

They thought Trump was going to save them from poverty? Did he save them from poverty last time?

Ditto, I was about to start waxing poetic about my bard.

Do people mean anything other than commodity and gas prices when they say “working class issues?” I feel like abortion, healthcare, education, and student loans are also working class issues, but I take it that’s not what people mean.

What got Trump elected is climate change increasing pressures in hundreds of domains, making people fearful and easy to manipulate. It’s happening the world over. Blaming whoever opposes Trump for not doing it quite right is another flavor of copium.

It’s climate change increasing pressures in hundreds of domains, making people fearful and easy to manipulate. It’s happening the world over. Blaming candidates for not showing enough conviction is just another kind of copium.
