I am confused how chaining two 32-layer models is comparable to a 64 layer model in terms of "difficulty in chain of thought". The reasoning appears to rely on the fact that each processing of a token has fixed number of steps while my understanding is that can very greatly based on the type of data being reasoned whether it is originally text or something else. My mind falls back to graph theory in this case and pictures a much higher potential branching in a 64 layer model and all the tradeoffs that come with that.
I must not have the right idea of what is happening here.
From the post: "Doing a thing for the love of the thing is no different than it ever was. The problem is, there aren’t many people for whom this applies." I think this is an interesting point but I am not sure it matters when deciding whether someone should be paid for the work they have done. It is fine to have your opinion on what you think deserves your money. However it doesn't change that they have done work that has value regardless of their motivations.
"can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer" sounds strangely like what was reported to be happening to Palestinians in Gaza. Penlink is in Israel. I think there is a good chance this tech was developed and used in the ongoing genocide against Palestinians and is now being resold to law enforcement here.
Unfortunately this is extremely dangerous as this opens the door to mis-labeling attacks by politicians pushing agendas and looking to censor talk against them.
Thank you for your effort in keeping the discussion healthy.
However my impression is that this thread is lower in the HN rankings compared to what I usually see for something this new and with this score and discussion.
Am I wrong in perceiving this? Can you please help me understand?
This is extremely concerning and hints at a potential intentional organized suppression of information that is calling out the horrors that are being committed in Gaza.
It has been going on for decades, openly discussed among pro-palestine activists in the US since the early days of social media. One of the first and most reliable "mainstream" users of reddit was israel posting "idf thirst traps" though that nomenclature didn't exist for it back then.
I was a mod of a few semi-popular subs back then and we'd get bombarded by requests to remove comments critical of israel in those threads. A few times messaged by state employees under their real names making their case for a pro-israel mod stance. This was like circa 2008-2011, real ron paul le bacon atheism obama days.
Actually, the fact that Gazans are far better off than Syrians and other Arabs in other conflicts is rarely discussed. Israel is required to destroy Hamas in Gaza as the US was required to destroy Germany and Japan. But Israel has been using hi-tech weaponry rarely discussed even on HN, a tech website.
For example, Iron Sting, a mortar guided by both GPS and laser is used even at night so that when a Hamas terrorist emerges from tunnels, they are immediately blown up. This helps to preserve Gazan civilian lives but not discussed in the media.
