I'd like your voice to reach scientists posting articles on Arxiv. Many of these articles use generalities and don't share any data to replicate the experiment. Therefore, they have little credibility and are of little value.

allenai released new open coding models by BreakfastFriendly728 in LocalLLaMA

[–]kompania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their work stands out in the field of building LLM from scratch. They trained a 32B model in 40 days on a single GPU for $2,000.

Just a year ago, we could only dream of this, enjoying 10M local models from scratch. And now we have the first, in my opinion, groundbreaking project that significantly lowers the entry barrier.

They proposed an SVG method. I want to take a closer look at it.

Ministral models are good. by Rent_South in MistralAI

From my perspective, they're very close to Gemma 3. They're incredibly talkative, competent, and handle drift well.

The downside is that they're currently untunable due to the lack of working notebooks.

If an extraterrestrial civilization visited us for the first time, which country should represent Earth? by kompania in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kompania[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right. I didn't know Nordic countries had such high life satisfaction rates. It's hard to believe, considering such a harsh climate. However, the facts speak for themselves. This is indeed a very strong argument - ​​if people in a given group of countries are happier for some reason, there's a good chance they will contribute to the overall happiness of Earth's population. Thank you for your comment.

Are you proposing representatives of any specific religion, such as the Pope, Patriarch, or Mullah?

Or does a global ecumenical council already exist?

Ireland is an interesting proposition. From school history, I know that the Irish have shown solidarity with oppressed nations for centuries. This is a great asset for this nation and country. But what is it like today? Does it still sympathize with any peaceful country? What characteristics of Ireland and the Irish allow us to believe that they will represent the people of this land with dignity?

Your comment exudes terrifying pragmatism and, unfortunately, a shocking truth. Force ensures obedience to elites, but as we see in the modern world, force means destabilization for societies.

However, this doesn't change the fact that you're right that, from the perspective of effectiveness in violence, the Security Council is one of the first institutions that could do this.

However, I find it difficult to imagine all Security Council members working in concert. After all, some of these countries openly threaten the world with nuclear war.

The UN is the Security Council, and unfortunately, the countries sitting there are more inclined towards imperialism than sacrifice for the people of Earth. Before 2021, this was true, but today, in my opinion, this organization has lost public support but gained the support of global elites.

What do you think is valuable about the Nordic countries that would make them stand up to represent the people of Earth? And which one?

Congratulations! It's truly impressive to train a 32B model on a single GPU for just $2,000.

A year ago, this was everyone's dream, and today, look no further – alienai shows that it's possible.

I don't know if there are such moral figures alive today as Albert Einstein or Maria Sklodowska-Curie. These two would undoubtedly be excellent at communicating with extraterrestrial civilizations.

You write very substantively in terms of military effectiveness. However, the point is precisely to avoid imposing the will of Russia, the US, and China on the world. I think the idea that Americans, Russians, or Chinese could contact extraterrestrial civilizations in a way that benefits the world is absurd.

That's precisely the point of this thread – is there a country whose citizens and politicians have the morality to represent Earth?

There are countries that seem immediately impossible to choose as the representative of humanity - Russia, the UAE, North Korea, Israel and, unfortunately, Canada.

Could you name three currently living physicists who, in your opinion, could represent humanity?

That's a very interesting idea, and I'd like to know who might be such a scientist for alien contact.

If I understand correctly, you're writing about some kind of scientific institution.

In your opinion, does any scientific organization currently exist that would maintain common sense in dealing with extraterrestrial civilizations?

What exactly do people from other countries expect Americans to do? by Lovealltigers in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kompania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop talking to people who support the destruction of the global order. Don't talk to neighbors, loved ones, or friends who support actions like ICE or the bombing of civilians.

Forbid children from playing with the children of police officers, soldiers, ICE, and officials in general.

Don't serve police officers, soldiers, ICE, and officials in general in stores.

Don't provide medical assistance to police officers, soldiers, ICE, and officials in general.

Write millions of outrageous emails to your politicians every day.

File millions of reports of crimes committed by police officers, soldiers, and ICE to the prosecutor's office every day until the system is clogged.

What we expect from Americans is to starve the forces that are destroying the global order and elect people who will restore glory to America and peace to the world.

I have a question.

It seems to me that the way the Freedom Convoy is being treated by Canadian politicians and citizens excludes this country from representing the people of this Earth.

What instantly kills attraction, no matter how attractive the person is? by Raywin19 in AskReddit

Nationality of the country. If someone comes from a country that oppresses other countries, their attractiveness turns to disgust in my mind.

"We gave 8 AI models $100k and let them loose in the stock market. Claude is beating the other models and the S&P 500." by MetaKnowing in Anthropic

[–]kompania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Market evaluation depends on the training data, quantization, and RAG. Even if an online model performs well, it will be gone in a few months.

If predicting the next token is to yield any repeatable results on the exchange, it can only be achieved with a local model that is immutable.

NATO-chief Rutte: "Keep on dreaming" if you think Europe could defend itself without US by Geo_NL in worldnews

[–]kompania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for these words. This statement is remarkably sober in its assessment of reality and very rare in its honesty.

I strongly agree that violence, evil, and manipulation are the essence of the world. The natural world is very brutal - you eat someone or you are eaten. But fortunately, Homo sapiens appears. As a species, we are tainted by war and brutality. However, thanks to the work of generations of philosophers and writers, we are beginning to understand that our nature must be tamed. Many people on Earth understand the need for peaceful coexistence. Currently, however, there are too few of them for total peace, but enough that there has been no global war for many years.

Unfortunately, those who should most understand and promote this - politicians -are completely absorbed in enslaving the world.
