Is this issue specific to 122B or will it lurk in other 3.5 r 3.6 models? I run a 9B model locally so while this fix doesn't help me I'm wondering if it's general?
I was taught 20% of customers generate 80% of the work. It seemed borne out by experience and I mostly fucked them off, the surprise/outrage when I told them they weren’t a good fit and told to go elsewhere was something to behold.
Slightly tangential to the article, which seems interesting, but the main issue with IPFS was the horrendous performance of clients which I seem to recall related to having a refresh storms, sparse routing tables, unreachable peers as well as lookup speeds. Mostly the reputation was so bad that people didn't bother with it, I dismissed it for my own project. If your only users are crypto-grift projects you're in a bad place.
When I was a lawyer my selling point was exactly that I knew tech deeply, coming from a dev background, and was current as I read Slashdot daily compiled my own Linux kernels etc. It allows punters trust you & is a rainmaking skill.
Same. Then I tried to read Brothers karamazov, “ooof”, it literally took 200 pages before I stopped hating the ‘pointless’ book with its plot that went nowhere. Then I got it. Only certain authors can do this I reckon, but how you’d get a doom-scrolling teenager to do it? Goooood luck.
I like their models, super cheap - I'm a Lite plan subscriber, and subjective performance seems to be same as lower Anthropic models, useful for lots of grunt work.
The problem is that Ziphu really __really__ struggle with capacity - everyone is complaining of timeouts or very slow speeds. I can't get direct access to the model though I see it is in OpenRouter so I may play. But the capacity issues means DeepSeek is my main provider these days
Yes, precisely. Assessing your own cognitive skills is dubious. I’m pretty certain I’m less clever than I was when younger but if I find a problem tough now maybe 25 yo me would also have struggled?
I watch it and think of the “Are we the bad guys?” meme: lots of people advancing their careers in the Empire & shrugging at their own evil deeds mentally saying “ ok, but what can I do?”
Not saying you are wrong about many US business owners but having travelled in China I can tell you that Chinese companies have no qualms about poisoning their neighbours for enhanced profits - my guide there said it was what he hated about his country. Money drives ethics pretty much everywhere I reckon.
