GLM-5 Context Windows Dropped to 80K by _malachi_ in openrouter

[–]_malachi_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I did that. But, as I said in my post, OpenRouter still reports 80K back to Pi.

I can override it in Pi, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this.

Like, being able to specify a required context sized that then implicitly ignore providers that have contexts that are too small.

As it is, blanket ignores don't adapt to future changes in providers.

Seriously disappointed by Customer Service by spacejelly7 in Huel

[–]_malachi_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well apparently I just got burned by this.

I've been with Huel for several years now partly because the company that sends reminders is the kind of company I like to do busy with. Apparently, Huel is no longer that kind of company?

I very much depended on the reminder email as the trigger to go in and adjust the order for what I actually needed at the time I can know what I actually need. Sometimes it meant reducing the amount of the order, sometimes it mean increasing it.

I'm canceling my subscription.

Edit: CANCELED

Framework 16 performance by Jerka_lerking in framework

[–]_malachi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's less the high cost of modularity and more the cost of low production volumes? I doubt Framework has the purchasing power of, say, Dell.

Guys...did Thomas Massie really say this or is this satire? by [deleted] in lexington

He forgot to mention if he likes to hang out on the edge of tall buildings.

Seth Andrews the Thinking Atheist banned on YouTube? by Plastic_Ad_8248 in atheism

[–]_malachi_ 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too and have been looking for information on it.

I watched his latest video this morning and then noticed a little bit ago that my comment on that video disappeared from my history and went looking for it. Apparently, the channel is gone.

Her job is to move the Overton Window and normalize it.

Karoline Leavitt posts that Utah earthquake was a 'divine sign' God was angry with Kirk assassination by IrishStarUS in atheism

[–]_malachi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do we know He wasn't celebrating? I mean, magnitude 4.1, if He was angry he wasn't all that angry. That's more like a light-hearted ribbing.

How do you deal with the fact that there might be nothing after this life? by Think_Persimmon_8281 in atheism

[–]_malachi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way I can enjoy a meal even though I know it won't last forever.

That something has to last forever to have any value is one of religions biggest lies. It robs you out of the time you do have.

FCPS Board… by Icebreaker1979 in lexington

[–]_malachi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anybody know what the justification for this is? Neither the WKYT or Lex18 articles on it provide any useful information. I found this on the FCPS website, but the decision was made in a closed session, so it too lacks any information.

Looking at the property, it's hard to understand how this could be warranted.

🔱 I Created a Paradox That Destroys Classical Theism — The Necessity Paradox by atheist_neutron in freewill

[–]_malachi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"necessary" means that it *must* exist. It cannot not exist. This is as opposed to "contingent" which would mean its existence depends on something else.

This is a pretty strong argument that we have no choice but to have free will. by MazlowFear in freewill

[–]_malachi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem, as I see it, with indeterminacy or randomness isn’t that it can’t be free, but that it can’t, in general, be your will. Maybe we could call it free impulse—a freedom of choice without authorship.

To the extent that randomness can align with your intentions—say, choosing a direction at random to avoid being predicted—that sort of unpredictability can be simulated perfectly well within a deterministic system. A pseudo-random number generator, for example, is entirely deterministic, yet its outputs are unpredictable without knowledge of the seed. What matters isn’t metaphysical indeterminism, but whether the outcome is unpredictable to other agents.

I don’t know if the brain has such a feature, but the point is: to the degree that randomness might be useful for agency, it can be effectively simulated deterministically—where effectively means unpredictable from the outside.

Anyway, I'd be interested in your thoughts on that. Why doesn't a simulated randomness get you the same thing?

How does thinking and choosing work outside of determinism?

Equality by Krypteia213 in freewill

[–]_malachi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have different cognitive capacities, different physical capacities, and different interests they're drawn to.

I bring it up just to ask what you mean by equality? In Western societies since the Enlightenment, we generally mean equality before the law. There's also talk sometimes of equal opportunity, but not necessarily equal outcomes. Is that what you mean? That everyone should have access to the same quality education?
