In 2015, when Harper was in office, the dollar was worth what it is now.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
The dollar is back around where it was when Trudeau took office. In fact the last big collapse from parity happened under the last CPC prime minister, in his last year of office, when Pierre was in cabinet.

And I’m thankful for that because, when the promotion was right, I bought one. Warhawk, MAG, Demons souls and KZ2. What a great generation of games.

This happened with the ps3, the chief at playstation at the time said we wouldnt be able to find them at retail. My friends and I made some fun snapping pics of them sitting on shelves.
We were way into the game news scene at the time.

I think you might be a little behind on Chevy EV news. The boltEV is back, the bolt EUV is around, the Blazer is electric and so is the Equinox.

I love generating nonsense images to go with the nonsense jokes my friends and I make. Or to add flavor images to weird things in our conversations.

I use sci-hub because it is quicker and easier than logging into my multiple legal affiliation’s library accounts, navigating through their janky web portals and search tools, and then finding out I need to switch to a different acclint/library /catalogue /whatever to read the paper.

If not the two of them are so public that it would take a bad actor no time at all to train one.

I feel like the cat is way out of the bag on this. Stable diffusion can be run locally. Hugging Face has over 15,000 models labelled with image generation.
- Comment on Weaver: New Specialised Writing LLMs Outperform GPT-4 9 months ago:
It’s doesn’t seem to be. Their Chinese website talks about buying AI creidts, their English website only has a waitlist but this looks more like a new closed product than anything else.
Also, check the appendix in the paper, I think it’s a bit concerning that the second author is responsible for the writebench benchmark they use to make their claims about the model. That is, the evaluation isn’t independent from the authors. I mean, I’m not saying they’re not right, just that this is a yellow flag to investigate more.
A. Appendix A.1. Author Contributions Tiannan Wang is the core contributor of Weaver. Tiannan is responsible for continual pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and preference optimization. Tiannan is also a main contributor for the data synthesis and the benchmark/evaluation process.
Jiamin Chen is a main contributor of Weaver. Jiamin is responsible for WriteBench and is also main contributor for data synthesis and model evaluation process
