Sims

Functionality-wise, its a promising ‘personality’ training system. Could be my ‘guiding voice’ when my other agents run autonomously for longer time. Could also be used to create Agents imitating the thinking of some Hooman experts we want to influence some agent sub-system we have, or just creating a domain-expert AI.

However, it have the option to connect to a seemingly(?) closed-source ‘AI network’, where people can buy services, create NFT’s on personalities and similar market garbage, so I won’t be using that part - open or not.

…and they just replaced Silicon with Bizmuth in another study (>500ghz, smaller, more efficient). The West have already lost the ideological competitive race they still fantasize about…

Neat article. I too battled with the different definitions of Entropy (in relation to surprise, order/disorder, complexity etc), but didn’t come as close as this guy.

“But I have no idea what entropy is, and from what I find, neither do most other people.”

Something is happening on a Civilization scale.

Anecdotally, I’ve experienced the same phenomenon many times, to be a non-expert, and start questioning established knowledge/experts - finding gaps and inconsistencies - while getting annoyed/disappointed. I suspect that most common people that use AI for deep philosophy/Science seem to discover that experts don’t agree on many definitions or assumptions, and that there are huge knowledge gaps that are glossed over. The established knowledge space are suddenly under scrutiny by millions of people enhanced with AI, now looking at the conclusions, disagreeing with definitions/assumptions and finding new perspectives and maybe even methodologies for the problem.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Science/The Methodology, but it isn’t a perfect thing (far from it), and the handful of Hooman experts have been converging on whatever expert level a handful of experts and pre-AI tools could reach. They could only do so much.

So far, we’ve only heard about a single paper fully written by AI, but it seems reasonable to say that all new papers are assisted with AI. Experts are being accelerated by AI from rapid ideation and combinations of disparate methodologies/perspectives etc, so I suspect that a wall of papers are under way from the more rigorous academic side. They just take a bit longer to produce/show their new thoughts and ideas. We probably need a new Science publishing system that can handle quicker feedback/evolution of ideas and knowledge.

I think we are seeing the first glimpse of the coming knowledge explosion. Millions of ordinary people are testing out established facts, going new ways, and challenging assumptions/definitions etc. They will statistically puncture a lot of the current knowledge space, and significantly accelerate soft/theoretical expert knowledge.

We will have a temporary global Democratization of Knowledge, where almost anyone can enter the debate on frontier science, based only on ideas, co-developed and checked with/by AI. AI is lowering entry-requirements to the knowledge/ideation field, and lifting ordinary people closer to expert levels.

In only 5-10 years, our current societal structures will be judged by a global population with +50 IQ. I doubt anyone will be in awe over what they see.

Friendship between western people and other people around the world is important to stop political warmongering, so its pretty cool with all the new Westerners getting the “China not bad” experience, and also that we all see how far and advanced China has become on so many fronts (Still having work to do, oc). Let’s hope the two information spheres and people can mix a little now, and some of the deliberate and honestly hateful misinformation can be dispelled.

I think I saw a few Sci-fi movies with this theme. Can’t be long before we see arenas, Robot ‘cock-fights’, Championships, betting and all that…

Rarely anything. There can be some newer Bios/chip features that are not supported in the kernel yet, and a few older/quirky machines requires setting correct kernel parameters in the boot phase. But overall, you wouldn’t normally do it any different from win, and a laptop from 23 should be supported with all newer kernels.

I’m sure there are Bios settings that could be changed dependent on operating system. Perhaps some internal timing works best with this and that ram clock, or whatever, but it would be a hazzle to figure out, and there may not be any gain - other than the fun of exploring oc…

You can argue that a 4090 is more of a ‘flagship’ model on the consumer market, but it could be just a typing error, and then you miss the point and the knowledge you could have learned:

“Their system, FlightVGM, recorded a 30 per cent performance boost and had an energy efficiency that was 4½ times greater than Nvidia’s flagship RTX 3090 GPU – all while running on the widely available V80 FPGA chip from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), another leading US semiconductor firm.”

So they have found a way to use a ‘off-the-shelf’ FPGA and are using it for video inference, and to me it looks like it could match a 4090(?), but who cares. With this upgrade, these standard Fpga’s are cheaper(running 24/7)/better than any consumer Nvidia GPU up to at least 3090/4090.

And here from the paper:

"[problem] …sparse VGMs [video generating models] cannot fully exploit the effective throughput (i.e., TOPS) of GPUs. FPGAs are good candidates for accelerating sparse deep learning models. However, existing FPGA accelerators still face low throughput ( < 2TOPS) on VGMs due to the significant gap in peak computing performance (PCP) with GPUs ( > 21× ).

[solution] …we propose FlightVGM, the first FPGA accelerator for efficient VGM inference with activation sparsification and hybrid precision. […] Implemented on the AMD V80 FPGA, FlightVGM surpasses NVIDIA 3090 GPU by 1.30× in performance and 4.49× in energy efficiency on various sparse VGM workloads."

You’ll have to look up what that means yourself, but expect a throng of bitcrap miner cards to be converted to VLM accelerators, and maybe give new life for older/smaller/cheaper fpga’s ?

Pretty cool with China’s focus on efficiency in the AI stack. DeepSeek was the first eye-opener for how to re-think efficiency, but it appears to happen on all levels of the stack.

Fyi: article is paywalled, so block javascript on page with ublock…

Time to fill the drive with anti-establishment political literature + de-google material + google-service hacking news, fake stories about their leaders etc. Anything that goes against what Google propaganda models wants us to believe or what benefits them most…

Also, the easiest way to generate ‘Consciousness’ in any system is to add a feedback mechanism. A simple echo in a system or input stream, is a potential emerging ‘consciousness’. It becomes aware of something ‘it’ did before - and then it discover the illusion of ‘I’, free will and personal responsibility (vs long-chained cause&effect from society/environment).

Cute! My first computer was a C= 64 ‘beast’. I wonder how many of those this little fella can emulate :)

I agree. However, I think it is related to Capitalism and all the sociopathic corporations out there. It’s almost impossible to think that anything good will come from the Blue Church controlling even more tech. Capitalism have always used any opportunity to enslave/extort people - that continues with AI under their control.

However, I was also disappointed when I found out how negative ‘my’ crowd were. I wanted to create an open source lowend AGI to secure poor people a descent life without being attacked by Capitalism every day/hour/second, create abundance, communities, production and and in general help build a social sub society in the midst of the insane blue church and their propagandized believers.

It is perfectly doable to fight the Capitalist religion with homegrown AI based on what we know and have today. But nobody can do it alone, and if there’s no-one willing to fight the f*ckers with AI, then it takes time…

I definitely intend to build a revolution-AGI to kill off the Capitalist religion and save exploited poor people. No matter what happens, there will be at least one AGI that are trained on revolution, anti-capitalism and building something much better than this effing blue nightmare. The worlds first aggressive ‘Commie-bot’ ha! 😍

‘overcapacity’ is the newest US propaganda buzzword :-) Someone put together a list of insane western claims for 30 years. None of it stuck. Its the same propaganda playbook…

Great for Russians ! Nobody wants, or needs US/Capitalist propaganda/manipulation in the back door…

Amazing. I’ve been ‘staring’ at the sys rq key for 20 years with Linux and many years before with Win/Dos, and never really knew how it worked, for what, or if it was still used for anything - even then.

Apparently (from light search) sysreq was mostly used in the old days to halt current job and enter a systems menu.

Anyway, thanks for fixing a long-standing knowledge gap :-)

Damn, things are moving fast atmo ! Thx for info!

Ouch. I actually thought that HIMARS were one of the few successes, but apparently that were only in the beginning, and now they are worthless. Impressive. The level of Russian EW are confirmed from other sources also. I can’t really remember any weapons that have been a success ? All the Western super weapons seem to have been failures.

Unfortunately it was paywalled.

I’m not an expert, but ASML uses a very powerful ultraviolet ‘cannon’ to edge patterns into their layers https://wikiless.northboot.xyz/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography, and apparently (from the few lines of article txt) the Chinese are going for particle accelerators for edging instead. I wonder if they will use a beam or just fire away on a masked wafer.

Slightly ot, I think hybrid photonic computing is the future, but that would probably also benefit from smaller construction techniques, so …go go China.

If someone is interested in chip construction and new AI trends in that area, I can recommend ‘Asianometry’ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw and especially ‘Anastacia in tech’ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw

They have not reported on this Chinese particle thing yet, tho…

Looks like aprox. half of AI talent in US, are Chinese.

Surprised by Russia. They have a lot of skilled engineers/good education/science institutions. Anyway, they are sure to work with China now, so they’ll get accelerated quickly enough…

Despite Hollywood movies continuously showing the fan-mazing-ness of Western weapon tech/military and the same demeaning propaganda of ‘the Russian gas-tank nation’, the truth is that Russia alone have won the weapons race - by a huge margin. Add to that China’s / Iran’s drone capabilities and everyone can see that the Western Capitalist nightmare have lost their new worldwar, completely - even before they were 1/3 in. For anyone interested in how bad and archaic Nato/West military is, look up Andrei Martyanov (YT or https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/) or similar military experts…

OC Disappointing for the Liberals who thought they were masters of the universe and wanted a global war for continued ideological hegemony/dictatorship, but totally fortunate for every sane person on the planet. Bye bye Liberalism…
