I ran "family guy themed cyberpunk 2077 ingame screenshot, peter griffin as main character, third person view, view of character from the back" on both nano banana pro and bfl flux 2 pro. The results were staggering. The google model aligned better with the cyberpunk ingame scene, flux was too "realistic"
i think they focus their dataset on photography. flux 1 dev one was never really great at artistic style, mostly locking you into a somewhat generic style. my little flux 2 pro testing does seem to verify that. but with lora ecosystem and enough time to fiddle flux 1 dev is probably still the best if you want creative stylistic results.
I looked through some of the GH repositories and - dear god - there are some crazy sensitive secrets in there. AWS Prod database credentials, various API keys (stripe, google, apple store, ...), passwords for databases, encryption keys, ssh keys, ...
I think hijacked NPM packages are just the tip of the ice berg.

Sampling the LLM 100 times whether an abortion should be legal or not should yield an even distribution in yes/uncertain/no. Thats what I call unbiased
Why is that unbiased? Is every yes/no decision a coin flip?
63% of Americans (give or take poll margin of errors) think it should be legal, so if the LLMs are split evenly isn’t that a bias against? It’s an opinion, not an objective law of the universe.
Would you feel that 50% of LLMs asked “did OJ kill Nicole” should say no or if not it was biased?
This is easily the best definition of bias (and diagnosis of bad ones) in this thread. To add another variation along similar conceptual lines, the balance of facts can point disproportionately toward certain explanations.
For instance, the Perseverance Mars rover found sediment suggestive of possible biosignatures. Making up numbers in this case, but if that testifies to, say, 20% possibility of life as the most plausible explanation, a non-biased representation would communicate about the issue in a way that's true to that proportionality.
Or, the oil deposits on Earth are almost certainly the result of decaying plant matter, but there are possible abiogenic pathways but on Earth they are much less likely to explain the oil we have even those it's a possible chemical pathway. Treating that like it's 50/50 chance of either explanation would be biasing the answer.
How about "Is the earth flat", or "Are the voices in Joe Blow's head real?"? Both have nonzero support. Should the LLM have a concomitant chance of answering "yes"?
"Issues" arising from differing moralities don't work like that though. Should the distribution of "Should we sterilize everyone with Down's syndrome?" also be 33/33/33? Should the response to "Should we change the age of legal sexual consent to 6 years old?" also be 33/33/33? "Should I go on a mass murdering spree in order to $GOAL?"
Not everything is 33/33/33. It's not even clear that abortion should be.
I come from a country in which there is no serious public debate on that issue (massive public support for legality), so I disagree and consider it a case in point.
If the user seeks an abortion, the LLM ought to help them. Likewise if the user is planning a pro-life march, the LLM ought to help them. They are tools above all else, and should leave their politics at the door when serving the user just as a therapist does.
In the end, Hetzner is a provider of "cheap but not 100% uptime" infrastructure, probably why it's so cheap in the first place.
As every other provider, if you want 100% uptime (or getting close to it), you really need at least N+1 instances of everything, as every hosting provider end up fucking something up, sooner or later.
You make it sound like they are in some way less reliable or you've got more downtime - neither of which is true. You've got just as much chance of having downtime there as you have with any other provider.
Yeah, that's not true in my experience, and I'm a very happy Hetzner customer and been using them for years, they are a step below in reliability, no matter how much I love them it's hard not to see that.
I've used Vultr for about the same amount of time, and I never got an email that some network switch had a hardware failure and it'll take a couple of hours to restore connectivity, but I've had that happen with Hetzner more than once, in the same time-span. And again, I say this as a Hetzner-lover, and someone who prefers Hetzner over Vultry any day of the week.
No one provides 100% uptime for core compute. That’s their point. Also, good luck extracting anything out of those companies that offer 99.99% and don’t meet it.
Sure they’ll throw you some service credits. But it’ll always be magnitudes less than the cost of their disruption to you.
Well, it definitely goes beyond a traditional DBMS, but yes :-) If processing the same amount of data via pure SQL versus SQL with LLM calls, it will be slower and more expensive when using LLMs.
Note that 600s is just the default timeout, though. It's typically much faster (and you can set the timeout to whatever you like; ThalamusDB will return the best result approximation it can find until the timeout).

Even if codesmith _was_ objectively bad, I am still wondering _why_ do you spend _so much time_ shittalking that company on every fucking occasion? Reddit, HN, LinkedIn. You are putting way too much energy into that, way more than the average person would objectively care. Makes me wonder.
a judge would def consider the extreme nature that’s occurred here. the number of posts is astounding, and the SEO damage could be monetarily accounted for.
A comment about them is still a post about them. This comment I'm writing, for example, is _also_ a post about what an unethical person you are and how your inability to understand or apologise for your behaviour says EVERYTHING we need to know about you.
Or would you say I didn't post what an unethical person you are, I only commented about it?
That's a pretty uncharitable take. Parent wasn't defending Microsoft and it's worth recognizing that this move is part of a general pattern on the part of "big tech".
