Then these models are stupid

Yup that is kind of the point. They are math functions designed to approximate human tasks.

These models should start out with basics of language, so they don’t have to learn it from the ground up. That’s the next step. Right now they’re just well read idiots.

I’m not sure what you’re pointing at here. How they do it right now, simplified, is you have a small model designed to cut text into tokens (“knowledge of syllables”), which are fed into a larger model which turns tokens into semantic information (“knowledge of language”), which is fed to a ridiculously fat model which “accomplishes the task” (“knowledge of things”).

The first two models are small enough that they can be trained on the kind of data you describe, classic books, movie scripts etc… A couple hundred billion words maybe. But the last one requires orders of magnitude more data, in the trillions.

That’s what smaller models do, but it doesn’t yield great performance because there’s only so much stuff available. To get to gpt4 levels you need a lot more data, and to break the next glass ceiling you’ll need even more.

Oh, it is functionally useless in the context of the game, more of a “because they can” kind of deal… That is why you’ll almost exclusively see that kind of things in Creative mode - it eats up tons of resources for no discernible end.

haha yeah it ain’t a good base if it doesn’t have dozens of pets sitting around. You should show your kid how to tame parrots with seeds, he’s gonna love it !

Yes you got it ! By combining redstone elements you can make all the basic logic gates. You combine logic gates to make binary adders, multipliers etc… You can store data as inventories, like for example a chest with 5 slots filled won’t give the same signal as a chest with 3 slots filled. And finally you have various elements that can light up when powered so you make displays out of that.

haha yeah, same when I play solo without cheats. but it’s better to have a creeper blow a hole in your dirt shack than in your carefully designed redstone contraption!

I got way too hard into the Minecraft anarchy scene so I’ve got knowledge that even Minecraft fans find abhorrent.

Setting up bots and automation, using server exploits to hunt for hidden bases, exploiting item duplication glitches, and of course using cheat clients. I’ve even written a few hacks for a private client my group used to make.

I remember it more for the intensity and violence, than for the gore. Either way it’s an outstanding movie.

I think there are a few tricks that still make it possible. First, nothing says that you have to, or really that you can simulate a universe 1:1. When you think of it we already simulate millions of universes in video games, but they are dramatically simpler than our reality. So, our parent reality could be much more complex than our own.

Consequently, physics could be vastly different from one layer to another. Maybe in the real reality, entropy isn’t that significant and quasi-perpetual motion is possible, making energy super cheap. Maybe the limits in our universe like the speed of light and Planck constants are just hardware caps to prevent us from using too much compute.

When I was a kid I had a few albums of french singer Renaud who was a bit of an anarchist. So naturally the first CD I got next Christmas was a live album of his, which starts with a song called “where did I put my gun”. It’s uh… Maybe his most savage ever, with gems such as :

• “navy blue makes me want to puke, I hate work, justice and army”
• “military marches screw me up, and I’ll fuck your republic”

Good times…

holy shit you’re right i don’t know where i got the idea that it was the same format

To clarify : We’re talking about differences in the codebase here. They are still exactly the same game, with some very minor disparities in certain mechanics.

The technical differences tend to disappear over time because they rely more and more on the datapack format, which is shared between the two codebases.

That’s because arch is very old and back in the days it was prone to breakage. Ironically, it is now much more stable and easy to maintain than an Ubuntu derivative but people will still recommend Mint to beginners for some reason.

No it’s actually very simple stuff. Arch is surprisingly stable and easy to manage, and had been for the better part of a decade

Oh boy. You’re about to discover the wide world of male sex toys and it’s gonna rock you.

Also their role system is badass. It’s incredibly fine grained and makes it possible to manage large communities with plenty of different user levels.

But we are talking about freelancers, not about SEO or content marketing, more like content filling

Most SEO is done by freelancers (at least in my industry). When i talk about content marketing i mean anybody who writes blog posts and LinkedIn posts for companies. It was already shit long before AI arrived.

Yeah I’m not bashing anybody, my wife did that for a couple years I know how it is. There was a kind of golden period where it would even pay enough to let you do some quality stuff but when VC money stopped raining the market slumped almost immediately.

I think the bitter lesson here is that there’s a bunch of jobs where quality has zero importance.

If you take for example, content marketing, SEO, and ad copy writing… It’s a lot of bullshit, and it’s been filling the web with gpt-grade slop for 20 years now. If you can do the same for cheap I don’t see a reason not to.

I’m not much into it but I think Polyphia is a good example. I once got down a rabbit hole of related bands on YouTube, I don’t remember the names but it definitely is a scene. It’s hyper technical, definitely progressive, but you’ll hear little if any overdrive, kind of like the latest Tool album but taking it even further.

Tim Hansen from Polyphia is like nothing I’ve ever heard. He even plays on nylon strings most of the time, and he just shreds the fuck out of it. Check him out on YouTube if you haven’t already!
