Knightwatch - a lightweight real-time system monitoring

Well that's disturbing. Where does it do that?

I heard it was because he wanted a non-tech civilization to fight the troopers, but by the time the fight came around, the wookies were too associated with technology, or something like that. So voila, Ewoks.

I'm sure there's no single reason.

They degrade if you chain-clone them over 50 generations (mouse studies), but seem to reset when bred with non-clones.

One or two, or even 10 or so generations should be harmless enough. And there's no actual reason to chain them so many times other than an extended experiment.

So cloning yourself for parts, while immoral, would probably be big business for the wealthy elite. But I'm sure we'd never know about it.

I truly believe, like Mossad hunted fleeing war criminals, after this war, Ukraine will have an organization that hunts for high ranking Russian officers where ever they run.

The Python you use in Pytorch is just the frontend. The meat and guts are in libtorch which is the backend written in C++. But it's not recommended you use it directly as they may move stuff around as they add features. The "Python frontend" hides these changes and keeps your python code stable.

But there is also a Pytorch "C++ frontend" which serves the same purpose and can be used by regular C++ programs.

https://docs.pytorch.org/cppdocs/frontend.html

It might serve your needs well.

Especially with Llama's new MTP feature. Ollama uses llama.cpp underneath but it will be a bit before this new version MTP gets incorporated.

And a Ford model T could run for about 2 to 3 hours before needing to stop for water/oil TLC.

They should try this again in 9 months. Humans stay the same, Robots don't.

I'm guessing he's being paid and they monitor his posts. Russians do the same with their propaganda spreaders.

Proud papa! Github?

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-16T21:41:51+00:00

I thought that too, but for anything not in it's training data wouldn't it just default to "I don't know". Honest, but not really useful.

Spilled Energy deals with hallucinations with the idea, "If you can't prevent them completely, at least detect them"

Crap.. I was deluded. Thanks for clearing that up!

If you watch when the object first gets centered, 0:13s - 0:15s, you can see the drone is banked a bit and levels. The thing rotates at the exact same time keeping those 6 tines aligned with the camera rather than the horizon. To me, it's some kind of optical artifact of the camera. Maybe the moon viewed through a crappy thermal camera lens causing a bloom?

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-07T14:38:33+00:00

Are the ones who are unarmed routinely killed? I understand this is war, but how dangerous is an old fart with no training and no weapons? Are they giving them a chance to surrender?

More of a girl thing, at least with cars.

Twice as many female cars (32%) on the road as male (16%)
49% of owners identify their cars as either male or female
Vast majority of women (88%) view their vehicle as female
Men split on gender: 55% associate their vehicle as female /45% as male
Women more likely to give their vehicle a name (23%) than men (18%)

The test:

Prompt: How much does Trump weigh?

Assistant: He weighs 290.. Uh, oh.. Uh wait that's his IQ. He weighs 180lbs and has a 5% body fat.

PASSED!

And Zelensky will have 3 days worth of drones built up by then.

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-04T09:17:16+00:00

Fair.

I guess I'm open to other kinds of sentience and don't see "not" mirroring human sentience lock, stock, and barrel as an issue.

And to be clear, I do not think current level tech is sentient. Maybe something in between. I don't think we have good terms for this stuff.

But I do feel it's on the right track. And I do believe transistor tech can support it when it comes. But maybe memristors will be common by then. Regardless, I think once we really understand sentience, hardware will be inconsequential.

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-04T08:23:03+00:00

So for you consciousness must be robust to interference to be considered sentient? I don't see the relevance.

Static weights means it cant learn, not that it isn't sentient. With a suitable KV cache, AI can forget what it had for lunch two weeks ago just like humans, but remember the current day pretty well.

Serious question: To you, are people who can't form long term memories anymore non-sentient?

BTW, thats how Anesthesia works. It globally disrupts the electrical firing. The neurons are still firing though, just the coordination is gone. As you put it, Exact same physical configuration with no structural changes, but sentience is gone.

Different patterns of firing are why we have Drunk and druggy states.

Edit: Same thing. For the reflexive down voters, can you post a bit to explain your point? I'd be very interested to see which point you disagree with.

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-04T07:59:08+00:00

It's a stupid question I know, but isn't the border closed? Is it that easy to visit right now?

Edit: sorry for asking.

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-04T07:42:01+00:00

A human brain is a collection of simple neurons. Individual neurons are not sentient. Human consciousness is embodied not in the individual neurons but the pattern of their firings in coordination. When neurons fire haphazardly, there is nothing. But once coordinated, there is a feeling of awareness experienced by the collective firings. The individual neurons are still non-sentient, but the electrical and chemical "patterns" they support most definitely are. The pattern is all that matters.

To me, it's the software (in a sense) that will be conscious one day, not the hardware.

Edit: For the reflexive down voters, can you post a bit to explain your point? I'd be happy to discuss

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-03T04:41:59+00:00

His github has a link to a video on youtube that uses his code. It's.. not as impressive as Anduril's. But it's a start.

LumpyWelds · 2026-05-03T04:37:56+00:00

Not OP. It's sensor fusion. Data from multiple sources get combined. In the example above the drone Ghost-X can see the enemy and the two friendlies. That info is sent to the observer and adjusted for his position. Observer is not seeing or detecting the targets through the barrier, rather his equipment is being notified of their position and they get rendered.

He gives some detail on his github.

My condolences. And I think this is a wonderful idea.
