How does it work? Does it download all Wikipedia or any other website I point it to (like Project Gutenberg as it says on the website) pages or does it download it when I access the page?

Both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia are really important. I guess the way is to make alternatives or datahoard in these difficult times.

Crawling the web is an important right for access of information. I think big crawlers shouldn’t dominate the market. Especially since Google isn’t up to par to find anything that is wanted anymore.

You see this on GitHub already. People publish paper results and manuals, along with a few files, and treat that as if it were open source. And this isn’t limited to LLMs, people with CNN papers or crawlers and other results publish a few files and the results on GitHub as if it were open source. I think this is a clash between current scientific community thinking + Big Tech vs Free Software + Free Culture initiatives.

Additionally, you can’t expect something Microsoft/Meta touches to remain untainted for long.

I like it is trying to add to the gaming experience with something like save codes.

I can ask AI things and then check if it is correct somewhere else. It’s very good at guiding you towards knowing things. Sometimes it will avoid giving information, but it is always useful at answering things. It’s like someone you can bother without having to resort to forums or other boards. It advanced my knowledge a lot. I already read a lot, but you can’t ask a book to clarify things.

I learn a lot using AI. In a way I wouldn’t be able to learn on my own.

I completely get that someone used to monopolies can’t understand Mastodon. I don’t think it has anything to do with understanding technology, though.

It really feels like a dream, I think it’s worth trying it out at least.

Maybe they didn’t invest that much on security, as the article pointed out for not having a system that would uniquely identify only the number linked to the account.

Are people negative and rude or not expressed passion towards anything?

Also, I think there is a good passion for tech surrounding this community. I like that.

It could be good.

I’ve heard about it before, it’s based on a Skyrim Mod. It isn’t exactly top on my list but I’ll get to it eventually. Thank you for sharing.

You mentioned smaller models achieving better results than ChatGPT, but those models have trouble extending their knowledge to a wide variety of topics, which is shown by their subpar performance in GPQA (general knowledge) tests.

I think it’s important to come up with other forms of generating synthetic data that doesn’t come from distilling other models. Translating documents, OCRing old documents and using Digital Twins to train visual models come to mind. I’ve never successfully trained any model text-related, but I think the quality of the original text should be critical in how it will perform.

Not only the big players extract data from the common citizen, but it also enforces information upon them. AI will make people interact through exchange of knowledge less, and concentrate all the “talk” and information on the hands of few. I think this is a big problem, especially as we near the quantum computation era. How can individuals and smaller organizations possibly compete in AI quality on that scenario? But maybe hardware power won’t be the greatest force in Artificial Intelligence.

It isn’t that bad. It also stated new facts to me, like that GTA is owned by Take-Two.

#ebooks is composed of datahoarders that have a lot of stuff available. You declare the data source you’re getting the book from (e.g. Oatmeal) and then the name of the book.

This is common in rolling releases, but Pop OS isn’t a rolling release distro. Maybe a package you installed or something similar?

Most programming books start with tips for starters. I don’t think that’s a good way to do it. I want books that get into the programming techniques the pros use. What to use when building functions, how to build a proper class within the goals set. I think this is better than explaining the reserved words or other things that belong to an encyclopedia.
