I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

Technology@lemmy.world•China’s Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3, the largest open source model ever, rivaling top U.S. systemsEnglish
7·9 hours agoAccording to artificialanalysis.ai’s latest benchmarks, it scores better than Opus 4.8 set to max, despite costing half as much per task.
It also beats the top models of some of the largest US tech companies such as xAi, Meta, Google, and Nvidia.
I wonder what the US tech investors will think of this, and what this will mean for the financial AI bubble.

Technology@lemmy.world•Generative AI Is an Engineering Disaster. A shockingly inefficient trillion-dollar project.English
6·10 hours agoAFAIK, their open models are distributed as weights, not executables and are therefore not able to start network connections / run code. There is if of course tool-calling functionality but that just works by having the model output a special pattern and having something external run predetermined commands based on that.

This reminds me of something I sometimes see in shows on like Netflix and other media. I can’t remember a specific example, but you often have generic anti-capitalist comments from characters (often portrayed as edgy). It often feels a bit, artificial, like a “fellow kids” moment but politically, I guess? Like activism as a prop / character trait, inserted into a multi-million media production. Maybe someone else can better put it to words, if I had more time I would’ve written a shorter comment

Technology@lemmy.world•AI giants learn what everyone else on the modern internet already knowsEnglish
20·3 days agoI agree. The worst part about GitHub training LLM’s on my FOSS code without permission for me is that they then keep the models to themselves. Like if you’re going to use all my code without permission, at least allow me to run the model locally.
My personal opinion is that all models trained on copyleft code should be open-weights, most FOSS licenses didn’t account for this specific possibility, but this is the only way to follow them in spirit.

8·3 days agoDeepseek recently published a paper in which they describe that vision tokens contain more information than text tokens and that this can be used to compress context.
We present DeepSeek-OCR as an initial investigation into the feasibility of compressing long contexts via optical 2D mapping.
Experiments show that when the number of text tokens is within 10 times that of vision tokens (i.e., a compression ratio < 10×), the model can achieve decoding (OCR) precision of 97%. Even at a compression ratio of 20×, the OCR accuracy still remains at about 60%. This shows considerable promise for research areas such as historical long-context compression and memory forgetting mechanisms in LLMs.
It reminds me of LLM caveman speak, it used to have another option to use Chinese instead of English. A language like Chinese is seemingly better at encoding information in fewer tokens and I think this is the same mechanism why OCR tokens work so well.
That said, I also doubt that voice messages are more efficient than text prompts, but it’s best not to waste too much time engaging with these sorts of LinkedIn posts (and LinkedIn in general).

32·15 days agoI had a conversation with a colleague of mine about this. He believed that Musk’s decision to merge xAI and SpaceX was truly because of the potential of datacenters in space. I was unable to convince him that the logistics of this would be a nightmare and that this was just a way to make the Twitter buyout SpaceX’s problem.
Have you tried Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod yet?
It’s not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.
