Worth saying that GLM-5.3 isn't GLM-5.3-Flash's "big brother" the way one might think. GLM-5.3-Flash is not GLM-5.3 scaled down. While GLM-5.3 is based on GLM-5.2, and "every gain comes from post-training" (https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.3), GLM-5.3-Flash uses a newly trained multimodal base model (https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.3-flash).
The next level of time and effort would be to benchmark the models yourself. I am interested in x86-64 CPU benchmarks, but that's probably niche and there will be more interest in benchmarks on a modest GPU. The most common amount of VRAM on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw...) is 16 GB, followed closely by 8 GB.
1. works fine for me, are you sure you don't have any other filters active that might result in 0 models?
2. good idea, a few people have requested that. It becomes a little bit more difficult when models have engrams, but I will consider!
3. There are some tools to do that, I personally don't like them. I understand the convenience but I am staying away from that. There are many factors at play, not all models work the same way, even if they use the same VRAM. Not to speak of using quants and how each quant may affect a model differently
Interesting model. I tried to make Mercury investigate the hardcoded prompts in my (aider-derived) agent harness and repeatedly got this error:
> server: Upstream error from Inception: I'm sorry, but I can't share details of my architecture or training process. Would you like to learn about how language models work in general instead?
It looks like an overeager IP-protection classifier. However, the model recovered and completed the turn despite the errors (three total).
Yikes, thanks for letting me know. That seems like a clbuttic case of buttumptions - Of course the text is indeed AI-generated, but it's being quoted! We shall all have to get used to AI-assisted summaries of software, I'm afraid...
Anyway, I'm trying this package out now. So far it works as advertised - a natural language interface to Emacs. Pretty cool...
I cannot tell what negative-sum outcomes you consider possible. Do you believe AI can drive humans extinct? How many of Zvi Mowshowitz's Three AI Pills would you say you've taken?
I’m like a 2(.5?) there - I don’t think ASI will care about my kids better than I will for some definitions of better, for instance, and I feel very fuzzy and vague about what actual differences in qualia between me and ASI would yield in the wild.
I’m not a doomer, although I don’t think doomers are dumb, just wrong. I think you should design your systems around the possibility that people who disagree with you are correct , hence my nod to negative sum. If you have more than 30 years to live, I’d personally rep to the most likely outcomes being very positive. With a lot of disruption in the middle.
I have found a video (under a minute long) of a backpacking group walking through a herd of glacier mice in Alaska: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4fHfDrfoJw. I'd love to see a timelapse of glacier mice moving.
I’m actually surprised there isn’t Timelapse of it already. Seems like a simple enough setup to gather basically all of the information needed for finalizing how they move.
We have something similar where I live - no glaciers involved though, just river rocks.
The river dries up rapidly in the summer, leaving the smooth exposed bedrock riverbed peppered with rounded river rocks covered with drying algae.
Where the river is partially shaded, the rocks rapidly grow moss and other vegetation on their top surface. They preserve what little precipitation there is, and catch the morning dew. They grow top heavy, and fall over. They then repeat this on the next upwards facing surface. Meanwhile the downwards facing surface dries out from the radiant heat from the bedrock and shrivels into a thin black layer of desiccated biomass, which then partially falls off at the next rotation, further increasing the top-heaviness.
Over the course of a summer, the rocks all collect themselves into the local low-points of the river bed.
I saw a YouTube video of a professor explaining this exact thing as an explanation for these Glacier Mice. There is a whole lot of biomass that is shifting on those balls, driving by access to sunlight which in turn causes the response you explained above. Makes a lot of sense to me!
We started this fork because there was no activity on HTTPX, a very popular Python HTTP library.
A few weeks later, Pydantic started their own fork called HTTPX2. We decided to embrace this and support HTTPX2. We're upstreaming our fixes to HTTPX2 and in our opinion it should be the "blessed" fork. Pydantic can make this more successful than we ever can.
This idea is being tested with licenses like https://fsl.software/. FSL forbids "competing use" and converts to either Apache 2.0 or MIT after two years (for each version, like a Git commit).
You have a cool site! You should know that the last four links you submitted to HN went [dead]. Open your submissions in a private window (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=icely), and you won't see three of the four. This one is only visible because I vouched for it (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#dead). I think the spam detector caught you because you've been submitting links from the same site from a new account. I'd email hn@ycombinator.com and tell them you're not a spammer.
