If you stretch the definition long enough, sure.

I don’t think Japan is know for incentivising self expression or treating the individualism as a virtue?

Not tax, it’s Steam’s cut.

ow Linux dominates the server space.

Linux is free. Free cannot be monopoly. Bad comparison here.

I refer you to my previous post

Why would you use shit for comparisons? Compare upwards. And why would you inject US into this thread too?

So why aren’t you more bothered

Dude. You USian, right? The egocentric belief that USA must be part of every damn discussion.

1. Am I to start every post with ‘USA bad’?

2. US being shit does not make China awesome. Compare upwards. China workers right lags lightyears behind EU. Even if EU enshittifies that, China is not even trying to catch up.

Why is it “a wild standard”? We’re taking workers rights. China is a big, wealthy developed country, why would we not expect from it at least good labour laws? The worker exploitation is not admirable. And I detest anyone who says otherwise.

??? Are we having two different discussions?

1. Why would you use shit for comparisons? Compare upwards. And why would you inject US into this thread too?
2. I don’t care about this thread or you, why would I spent more effort showing more metrics?

You forgot, you have to ignore all the good things China does

For it’s workers? China is still behind EU when it comes to workers rights and benefits though? Good for them they are slowly, very slowly progressing in that regard.

E.g. paid time off in China is 5 days a year, +5 for every decade of cumulative work experience; it starts at 4-6 weeks in the EU; China has more of it’s own youth muddled in gig economy then EU (don’t get me started on how exploitative gig work is, it is disgusting any country allows for that practice).

Yup, we get lowballed with the paid vacation :( And the US abominable corporations are pushing more and more “freelancers”, “gig workers” etc to suck us dry and remove those benefits.

Btw - last time I was in the UK I was honestly surprised how many immigrants I can see. You are like 20% of foreign born. Very new yorker of you :)

working at a chinese company would be fucking awful

I got floored when I was told they get 5 days of paid vacation (10 if you worked for 10-20 years and 15 days if you worked for 20+ years) , and no vacation for the first year in a new company, and they have like ~7 days of public holidays.

Oh, and no paid sick leave (for a flue etc - you will get it for operations and similar but they must be dona via public hospitals).

Meanwhile here in Poland we get 5 weeks + 13 public holidays, and if they happen to be during weekend you get an extra day free later, and it’s considered rather low for the EU. And unlimited paid sick leave, including for fatigue etc.

Huh? That is the literal opposite of what I said. Like, diametrically opposite.

The system summarizes and hashes docs. The model can only answer from those summaries in that mode. There’s no semantic retrieval step.

No, that’s exactly what you wrote.

Now, with this change

SUMM -> human reviews

That would be fixed, but will work only for small KBs, as otherwise the summary would be exhaustive.

Case in point: assume a Person model with 3-7 facts per Person. Assume small 3000 size set of Persons. How would the SUMM of work? Do you expect a human to verify that SUMM? How are you going to converse with your system to get the data from that KB Person set? Because to me that sounds like case C, only works for small KBs.

Again: the proposition is not “the model will never hallucinate.”. It’s “it can’t silently propagate hallucinations without a human explicitly allowing it to, and when it does, you trace it back to source version”.

Fair. Except that you are still left with the original problem of you don’t know WHEN the information is incorrect if you missed it at SUMM time.

The system summarizes and hashes docs. The model can only answer from those summaries in that mode

Oh boy. So hallucination will occur here, and all further retrievals will be deterministically poisoned?

So… Rag with extra steps and rag summarization? What about facts that are not rag retrieval?

I want to believe you, but that would mean you solved hallucination.

Either:

A) you’re lying

B) you’re wrong

C) KB is very small
