Newton’s work in optics → refraction and better lenses → the microscope →germ theory →vaccines.

Well, he couldn’t have known that, but fascinating that he was inadvertently helping to solve disease. Just a few centuries ahead of being useful.

It seems like if you can recreate the training, the model could be considered open.

Lots of open source software performs operations on proprietary data, or accesses proprietary data/endpoints. That doesn’t make the software itself compromised.

LLMs are perhaps a little bit different in that the output (weights) is the part of the software that is useful.

It seems pretty obvious that an open weight model is a prime vector for social engineering/disinformation. If you can’t see the training data or mechanism, you are putting an awful lot of trust in the source. Better make sure that source has your best interests in mind.

We really need ro stop thinking of bees as cute bugs and understand that they are livestock.

“Hey, we are lifting the ban on spraying cattle-poison from the air,” sounds much more crazy.

You’ll have to give folks a little more detail if you want help solving this. It’s okay if you just want to vent about the frustration, but if you are looking for a solution, please share exactly what you are attempting, what you have tried, what step failed, in what way it failed, whether you received an error message, what it said, etc. Hope this helps!

Xapk is not the same as apk. You need an xapk installer like Thor or universal installer.

Thank goodness! The pro-Russia propaganda blogs are completely out of control.

Trick question. Time dilation means nothing ever actually enters a black hole. It just keeps getting infinitesimally close.

Who says pi has to be a constant at all?

Huh, shorter in person.

Yep. GrapheneOS provides the Google apps that you wouldn’t be able to easily get otherwise, but allows you to install them or not. And they come with additional privacy protections.

I suppose if somebody could organize a team of volunteers to pay for the Play Store fees, and take care of the logistics for small devs to get their apps approved, then it might be possible.

Honestly, this still worries me. There is no telling how many apps I rely on will evaporate over the next year. Several devs have already announced sunsetting their projects.

There are a number of projects that rely on on user installs, either because they are small passion projects (it costs money to be on the Play Store), or because they provide a function that is not permitted by Google Play. Without a vibrant community outside of the play store supporting them, it’s hard to see how they will all survive.

No, it’s a dolphin embryo

That’s just Banjo Kazooie

Weirdly this does not look like AI. Which only makes me wonder HOW you made this.

Brilliant.

There are definitely more than 2 videos.

Very interesting…

It’s traced back to about 8000 years, but not through records. Its history is reconstructed by linguists. So, it is often considered one of the oldest consistently used words, but I should not have called it the oldest “recorded word.”

Hint:

Far Side ≠ Dark Side

It can be confusing because the far side of the Moon is sometimes also referred to as the Dark Side because it is “dark” to us, in the sense that we cannot see it from Earth.
