After that first TW, it's expected that the world (mostly China) will add a TW of capacity every year, starting 2026. Staggering speed of growth if it actually comes to fruition! For comparison, the world currently has a total of about 7 TW of installed capacity!
Note that capacity does not mean actual power generated, but this is still huge.
This is probably because of the autoregressive nature of LLMs, and is why "step by step" and "chain of thought" prompting work so well. GPT4 can only "see" up to the next token, and doesn't know how its own entire answer upfront.
If my guess is correct, GPT4 knew the probabilities of "Yes" or "No" were highest amongst possible tokens as it started generating the answer, but, it didn't really know the right answer until it got to the arithmetic calculation tokens (the 0.9 * 500 part). In this case it probably had a lot of training data to confirm the right value for 0.9 * 500.
I'm actually impressed it managed to correct course instead of confabulating!
I'm very confused by this post. Maybe it's because I'm using a client (Sync), but I was able to select my default post and sort for my homepage, so my instance owners had no say in it. I rarely ever go to my Local or Subscribed feeds because I have a very healthy blocked instance/user/keywords list, so I like to spend time on Everything since other feeds don't have enough content to fit my needs.
Seems to work well enough, I don't see my instance taking over my feed at all.
I would recommend using a client that allows instance and/or keyword blocking. I believe Sync and Connect on Android offer these features amongst others. I would also raise this issue with the dev of whatever client you're using, as a lot of clients now have this feature.
The Lemmy backend is also getting instance blocking shortly.
I like the enthusiasm expressed in the blog post, and agree that groups coming to Mastodon might be a really good thing for the fediverse and open-source in general.
I'm a bit concerned about "the twitter effect", where cynicism and toxicity are rewarded by the algorithm. This is perhaps less of a problem on the fediverse, since there's no corporate interests fanning the flames, but I've definitely seen similar dynamics play out on Lemmy as well. Tribal dynamics and echo chambers create some really toxic behavioral patterns.
In any case, I hope r/rust devs can contribute to the fediverse, and Lemmy's codebase and community to make it the kind of place we've all desperately needed for so long!
I also wanna know this!
