Redis remained useful for 10+ years because of the design choices that were made, actually. Many other systems/companies failed since the idea, back then, was that a system needed to be linearizable or could not be useful at all. So what you point as a limit of my work was one of the better things I did in my career.


So did mongodb. Then we all grew up, and went back to postgres.

And your company took a stab at doing it right [1], though by that point most competent programmers decided that redis was just a smarter memcache and started designing around data loss instead of building on top of the programmable memory system you envisioned.

Trolls will troll. Redis is still a mainstay of many companies and in ~30% of the cases I review I find one or more installations.

I think OP wished he had that kind of credit to his name.


Thanks, I believe the hate is also linked to my AI-positiveness... Funny enough GPT 6 Astra can easily produce a TLA+ model that can be verified under very real-world system model assumptions on the safety of RedLock, which is a paradox to the arguments I see in this thread and to the AI-rage.


Dude, I _like_ antirez. Specifically this version of him:

I hope he didn't really say this: it is an incredibly basic take. More or less like atomic bomb is hardware, it can be controlled.


> More or less like atomic bomb is hardware, it can be controlled.

That is the point. It can be controlled by the operators if they want to.


There’s a good number of nuclear power plants and nuclear submarines in operation, so yes, that’s technically true.


He did say it, and the reason he said it is obvious. He is afraid new regulations will put his company at a disadvantage and that this will reduce the value of his property.


And yet, historically, the atomic bomb has been controlled.

But this is a terrible analogy. Atomic bombs are weapons of strategic mass destruction. AI is just a computer program. It's way easier to control--just hold the operator responsible for the consequences of running it. Those consequences are not large, they're very tightly bounded as compared with the destruction a rogue actor with an atomic weapon can wreak.


If AI is as powerful as an atomic bomb why could it only manage to kill a couple hundred Iranian school girls? Surely a truly society-shifting technology could manage to execute 1000 innocent children at least.


AI didn't do that. You're deflecting blame from the responsible party.


It's Mistral quality statement.

3rd tier quality proped up by European governments and European patriots.

I don't even know what I'd do if I was in their position. They seem unable to complete... Maybe they do the classic European protectionist thing European farmers do.

I don't know what I'd do if I was the EU. Maybe promote the opposite of what Mistral is doing and promote full unrestricted AI that will tell you how to download illegal videos. Mistral had 0 competitive edge.


Fun fact: in the 60s Italy was after the US and UK the county with the most advanced nuclear energy plants. These days still North Italy produces key parts of nuclear reactors in other countries.


Exactly! Italy during 60s was building nuclear plants, launching satellites, computing and pioneering in several advanced fields


Good times.


Because of masked attention in LLMs, if you put the options before the body (the email to analyze), the transformer already knows what it needs to look for, and can use more tokens to create state to address that specific task (BERT has no mask in the attention, so tokens attend also to next tokens). You could also do a few examples in the system prompt to improve calibration.

Another trick that works is to repeat the question two times: "I'm repeating the task and labels for clarity: ..."


Wow! TIL! I've been running a for loop around the two ordering variations to catch the winner of each turn and the difference is quite noticeable. In the options-after-body case in 47 of 100 attempts it classifies as phishing, whereas in the options-before-body case it classifies clearly as rickroll (94 out of 100 attempts)

Payroll sends you an email with a link to a Youtube video that plays a song.

Options after body:

    Average probabilities:
    Rickroll   0.5158 ( 51 wins)
    Phishing   0.4561 ( 47 wins)
    Spam       0.0281 (  2 wins)
    Joke       0.0000 (  0 wins)
    Legitimate 0.0000 (  0 wins)

Options before body:

    Average probabilities:
    Rickroll   0.9293 ( 94 wins)
    Joke       0.0549 (  5 wins)
    Phishing   0.0140 (  1 wins)
    Spam       0.0018 (  0 wins)
    Legitimate 0.0000 (  0 wins)
This was Gemma4-26B-A4B-NVFP4 by the way.

EDIT

Gemma4-12B-it-NVFP4 seems way less sensitive to option/body ordering:

Options after body:

    Average probabilities:
    Rickroll   0.9867 ( 99 wins)
    Phishing   0.0133 (  1 wins)
    Joke       0.0000 (  0 wins)
    Spam       0.0000 (  0 wins)
    Legitimate 0.0000 (  0 wins)
Options before body:

    Average probabilities:
    Rickroll   0.9401 ( 93 wins)
    Phishing   0.0336 (  3 wins)
    Spam       0.0250 (  4 wins)
    Joke       0.0010 (  0 wins)
    Legitimate 0.0002 (  0 wins)
Anyway, this for-looping stuff doing 100 calls to even a local VLLM API takes around 5 seconds in total, so this isn't anywhere close to sub-second Jev territory.


Yah, that's what I use: https://rcarmo.github.io/projects/go-system-one uses Gemma, and that's partly why. Seems less prone to getting distracted with ordering.


Does this imply that bigger models aren’t affected by this as much and therefore won’t see much improvement?


What a time to be alive, repeating questions to a model twice to increase accuracy.


Repitation always helped make your point stronger. Repitation always helped make your point stronger.


I guess repeating a mistake helps make it more obvious too.


With enough repitation you might get repitition.


Use repetition to avoid trepidation if you have low reputation.


Or even repetition, repetition.


Mr Smith agrees.


You can say that again!


Repetition Legitimizes


I use ROT13 twice for extra security


I had an issue with accuracy a bit ago. So I repeated a couple of things without understanding why and it solved the problem.

I am glad there is an actual reason.


fuck this timeline


I feel you


Bro this timeline makes no sense. Repeating instruction to a data center of geniuses.

This works very very well :).

Did I read this right?

This repo is really outperforming the OG Jev in the public benchmarks?

There was no time to benchmaxx. How is this possible?


Anthropic is incredibly good at avoiding all the useless AI risks, while not doing anything serious about the real risks (that is: uncontrolled growth). I'm as pro-AI as I think that eventually it will remove suffering from humans, and will allow us to prosper more and help us with tons of problems we created. However the problem is not job loss or minors using AI (minors are fucked because of cell phones and social networks), the problem is avoiding extinction. For this position I was accused of AI psychosis multiple times, but I'm in good company (Hinton, for instance), so I bet some comment that trivializes this issue will surely reply to this one, but at this point it is important to see what everyone really believes. Anthropic only touches the surface of AI security, consistently.


That's perfectly wrong. Since strong coding AI, people venture into huge rewrites and other big changes that automatically make sense but otherwise would not.


Yeah it's a bizarre claim. Even better, I've literally taken some of the crappy experimental projects from the pre-Opus 4.6 era, and turned them into real software as models have become smarter.


It's crazy picking up a project that took me days of frustration pre-AI and just adding features like it's nothing.


Or being able to get down something that you've had in your mind for 20+ years but could never quite get down into a real working thing.


I would say it's a mixed bag. On the one hand, yes, you can experiment with big changes much more easily, but on the other hand, you can have cruft build up in a big way if you're not actively looking for it and trying to cut it back.

In Debian, often the barrier to change is one or two people actively disagreeing with a change who are in a position to block it through their own action or inaction, so just being able to do more work on the change yourself is not necessarily going to make it easier to change things.


Sol for low level programming is consistently better, can work alone for more time, and is faster. If you think Fable is so superior, you need to work with Sol ways more.


This is simply not true, even if it is commonly repeated among the folks that usually don't really write. Like how reading every source code that comes handy will not turn yourself into a great programmer, to be a good writer you need to: 1. Read selected books, and re-read good books more often then reading new stuff, to understand why they are good. 2. Read, from time to time, some bad book, and understand why it is bad. 3. And obviously you need to write a lot to become good at writing. And writing, in order to improve, is writing remembering, at the same time, the vibrations of the good authors you loved, and especially making the act of choosing of every word you put in the blank page, one after the other.


So you feel that reading being necessary to write well is not true, yet the first 2 points of advice include directions to read, to re-read, to understand what you read, and then to read more. And in your last point, to write while remembering what you read.

Are you sure you actually disagree with the article?


Yes. The article says that you need to read a lot to write well. You actually need to write a lot, and to read carefully, high quality, and potentially low quantity too (to use more time to write).


Not sure why you’re downvoted this much, as it’s a reasonable point of view.

Reading as much as you can will not make you a better writer if you just read the same material and/or low quality material.


We need companies able to reimagine the devices we use every day in a more sharp way.


H3 is quite uncensored, but was not trained on p0rn, so it has no anatomy clues needed to generate that kind of stuff. For softer adult content it is reported to be fine on Reddit.


loras have been fixing that for years


Other than for pure t2v usage you probably don't need a LoRA for much, I have seen evidence that it is knowledgeable enough that it can handle a fair amount of anatomy looking and behaving reasonably with just relevant cues in control (for the fl2va model) or reference (for the r2va model) images.

And the r2va model can also use video input for motion reference.
