I’ve been using R1 last few days and it’s noticeably worse than O1 at everything. It’s impressive, better than my latest Claude run (I stopped using Claude completely once O1 came out), but O1 is just flat out better.
Perhaps the gap is minor, but it feels large. I’m hesitant on getting O1 Pro, because using a worse model just seems impossible once you’ve experienced a better one
I have been using it to implement some papers from a scientific domain I'm not expert in- I'd say there were around same in output quality, with R1 having a slight advantage for exposing it's thought process, which has been really helpful for my learning.
I use Claude2 for medical queries and it far surpasses everything from any other LLM. Idk if it’s because it’s less neutered/censored but it isn’t even close
I think he means "if I start going off" in the slang sense like "if I start angrily venting in a tell-all about all the ways they are stupid and wrong". But who knows really.
the content I watch (mostly intellectual or political conversations or lectures) rarely has a dislike rate of more than a few percent, so I don't understand what good the dislike button does.
>So frustrating not having the dislike button
I can understand the satisfaction of smashing the button on something you don't like... but does your frustration take a different form that translates into more/less usability?
(I can also imagine that a dislike button might help in an overall rating system like Yelp or Rottentomatoes, but then those systems don't serve me particularly well either. If something is hugely popular, that means middlebrow tastes like it, which isn't that useful. I don't want to watch or read Stephen King, and after all, people vote with their dollars for McDonald's. I suppose this could be a useful metric on youtube for gaming livestreams or skating videos or something?)
The dislike button is extremely useful to indicate scams and erroneous information.
Even outside of outright scams its still useful. For example, there's a Numberphile video (a high quality channel that explains math to ordinary people) where they go off the rails and make a bunch of errors to claim that the sum of 1 to infinity is -1/12. It's based on real concepts but the way they present it is completely incorrect. It had a dislike ratio of 20% whereas most of their videos have a dislike ratio of about 1%. By seeing such a high number of dislikes, it alerts the user that something could be off about this video and that they should not take what is said at face value.
Upper middle class morons who’ve never faced hardships or seen true evil, just lived in their bubble want to feel important and hyper tribalism reinforced via social media anger bubbles makes it a waste of time to have any nuance or discussions. These mobs are ruining primarily low income and minority lives while blue check marks rile them up and media gaslights and fans the flames. Every single city which has had these riots has seen a dramatic upshot in violent crime and economy ravaged. None have recovered since Ferguson
Well yes. But it goes both ways. I would argue that the Right doesn't have the ability to have a nuance discussion around this topic either. They read the headline "defund the police" and assume that means less police to deal with violent crimes. "defund the police" means to reallocate resources from police to people better capable of resolving low impact community issues. And let the police deal with violent crimes. If done properly you might see more police resources available to keep the community safe from violent crime.
If the staff in your local monopoly grocery store is underperforming, do you defund the store? How about your engineering company? In each case, the solution is to replace/remove under-performers while increasing funding, rather than to defund.
This is what Camden did when they "defunded": dissolve the city police, bringing the city under county sheriff jurisdiction, then pay for new staffing at the county level. They may have been able to save some money because they broke the police union, but in the long term funding increased.
But the grocery store doesn't do surgeries or tennis lessons. If the grocery store was responsible for surgeries and doing a bad job, i absolutely would defund them and give the money to surgeons instead. Surgeons are trained at doing surgery. See what i did there? Same applies to police dealing with mental ill people. Mental health professionals should be involved instead.
This sounds like an absurd analogy but only because America doesn't know how to operate community services in any other way than with a heavy police force. It's a failure of imagination and / or unwilling to look at the rest of the world for successful examples of alternative methods.
Agreed riots against individualsand businesses and people in communities is extremely counterproductive and is mostly a result of directionless and angry people acting like idiots.
Instead, there should be organization and all violence should be directed to the state sponsored goon squads that can break into people's home and murder them with little to no consequence.
Of course, this has happened before and ended with the comical exposure of the right wing clowns that still serve as idols of right wingers today.
A number that have been caught actually rioting are white supremacists seeking to provoke a race war, and at least some caught encouraging it online (haven't seen any caught actually rioting)have been specifically police officers that are also white supremacists seeking to provoke a race war.
I'd like to see some sources for this claim. It's not impossible, and it would even make some sense, but... evidence?
[Edit: Even harder: There's a difference between "it happened, but rarely" and "it's responsible for the majority of the cases". If it happens, how often does it happen?]
just look at any photos of the protests and count the white to black ratio
if those are all far righters white rioters, this is even more confusing!!!
plot twist, they are actually anti fa claiming to be alt right and start a race war so there is more police brutality and there is more evidence to call for defunding police !$$!
1. You are falsely drawing an equivalence between protesters and rioters; they aren't identical groups.
2. I never said all the rioters were white supremacist provocateurs, just that a number of the roots that have been arrested, and some of the online encouragers, have turned out to be (and, in the latter case, specifically also law enforcement officers.)
so you are claiming majority of the rioting is by alt right and law enforcement? i am very interested to see you substantiate that claim
i attended one blm march in my town and it was mostly (almost entirely) white, and the most active participants seemed to be mostly white non local college kids, who gave no indication of being alt right
the organizers were also predominantly white, some seemed very experienced with this sort of thing (and pretty elderly)
i cannot help but draw comparisons with ellison's book
it also seemed to be mostly organized as a photo op, and had us spend most of our time marching around an abandoned high school, with perhaps a few minutes along a main road which is when some participants spent their time taking pics and filming
i personally was highly disappointed with the march, and do not see how it can bring about greatly needed local change in the most racist county in my state
A lot more crime happens, nobody reports it though. Just like in the Bay Area for car thefts. Very underreported because we are discouraged from making reports and after the 3rd break in, don’t even bother reporting. Everyone using Camden as a success on Social media is mistaken.
Poor people hurt the most, while rich and upper middle class likely never has to call the police
Armed police roaming the streets don't solve car break-ins. I specifically mentioned car break-ins in my comment below[1]. I want the police department as we know it to be disbanded so we can have real solutions to real problems.
No one is saying stop solving crimes. Minneapolis may disband their police department, and get out of the union contract. But they aren't going to stop solving crimes. The lack of crimes being solved currently is explicitly mentioned as a reason for disbanding current police department, and looking for smarter solutions.
Armed police who are specifically ordered to not interdict fleeing property criminals (the rule of engagement for most Bay Area police departments) and not respond to break-ins at all, even for fingerprints certainly won't solve car break-ins.
So, you end up with stupid posturing shit, like having two units sit in their cars with lights flashing, stationary, in one mostly-empty parking lot a night, like SCPD does by the Chili's on El Camino near Lawrence.
Perhaps the gap is minor, but it feels large. I’m hesitant on getting O1 Pro, because using a worse model just seems impossible once you’ve experienced a better one
