Everyone should see this!

Democrats should stop whatever BS campaigns they are running, and just run Trump’s speeches in front of Americans. No commentary, don’t cherry pick it. Just show it. Show everyone what he is saying, as most really don’t know.

My hope is that, ironically, all this is making the class war obvious.

It kinda opened my eyes TBH.

Fair.

Take a sympathy upvote.

True.

I guess “prominence” is kind of an automatic filter. Libraries have no interest in stocking a book that tells one how to kill themself, but they can should curate books that are controversial, but interesting.

celebration of ignorance

There’s two sides to that!

People are pretentious and think they know complex issues better than dedicated experts, but they also look down upon them and their institutions as pretentious.

Carl Sagan was spot on, but I think he’d be surprised how much people not just look to superstition and hype, but are so personally confident about warped realities they live in. There’s no nervousness about the crystal clutching, it’s passionate, absolutely certain enthusiasm.

Propaganda has always been a part of America, but I think we were more willing to nod our heads at experts and established institutions in the past. That system let some shady shit slip through, yeah, but it still worked better than what’s going on now.

Would anyone here prefer the current administration over President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho?

No, that’s LeVar Burton, a Star Trek TNG actor. He’s just that awesome.

I believe the board he’s holding isn’t even a photoshop, as he advocates for reading banned books IRL. But I can’t find his original post.

Mostly this ^.

There’s just not really demand for C++ in the kernel; that’s not the case with Rust.

Honestly it should be in every library.

It speaks for itself. That’s what books do.

Uh, title is a bit clickbaity, editorialized. Amazon isn’t changing books yet, they are planning to make it possible for publishers to do so, I think, and also recoking ownership. And the video is not great either.

Out of curiosity, what’s the source of this meme?

Looks like the cat is a stock image: https://stock.adobe.com/images/A-cute-tabby-cat-sits-in-a-cozy-chair-and-reads-a-book.-Vintage-engraving-illust/790144997

And the cat+quote is a standalone meme, but I’ve never seen this LeVar Burton photo before.

EDIT: Could be a real photo?

That’s awesome. I love Burton even more now.

There are really local good video models for Musk and Trump now.

…And, uh, acts including this, and more.

I think the joke is that Trump/Musk are homophobic. It doesn’t glorify it.

If this were just two random guys, it’d be a fine addition to Lemmy.

Not full R1, which is developed differently than any of the distillations.

It’s honestly not that big a deal, as it’s not like knowing anything about how it was trained (beyond the config) would help you modify it. It’s still highly modifiable. It’s not like anyone can afford to replicate it.

It would be nice to publish the hyperparameters for research purposes, but… shrug.

I think a subset of the exact training data/hyperparameters would help with quantization-aware-training, maybe, but that’s all I got.

The only concrete assertion I see in this linked wall of text is:

Ukrainians are "dominated in their thinking by neo-Nazis”

…Which is false. And tremendously ironic in the current political climate in the EU/US.

The rest is just a whole bunch of whataboutism about how the US is a pompous, warmongering ass, which is true. But it’s no excuse.

Well you can merge it with the original model, to any degree, to get any sliding scale of “bias” you want.

Practically, though, I guess that’s not super practical, as very few have the hardware or cash to deploy a custom full R1 themselves.

In the 32B range? I think we have plenty of uncensored thinking models there, maybe try fusion 32B.

I’m not an expert though, as models trained from base Qwen have been sufficient for that, for me.

My dream system is one of those Strix Halo APUs, with 40 CUs and 128GB of LPDDR5X, with a single X3D CCD. And a PCIe slot, if that’s not too much to ask.

That’s the great thing about open models. Censorship? Once identified, all it takes is one person and a bit of cash to get rid of it, though it seems Perplexity did a particularly good job (unlike some “abliterated” models that are pretty dumbed down).
