Prompt engineering is a skill insofar as technical communication is a skill. If you don't value this then I don't know what to tell you. It's not hard, but it's important. Harness engineering is a skill insofar as it's…
School is almost a joke now. The fraction of students who have a propensity to cheat now has increased, and the accuracy of the cheated material is so good teachers/professors can't or don't have the resources to…
Obligatory taalas mention: https://taalas.com/ Despite the performative UI components they have a shipped (demo) product: https://chatjimmy.ai/ This is only 3.1 8B and a very small context window, but at 17k tokens per…
How does a grep or read affect the observing system? I guess the change in voltages, arrangement of registers, filling of buffers in the network stack are changing but... what?
> In distillation, you take a set of prompts you are interested in, and record the big LLM's outputs, then train your small model to produce the same output as the big LLM. Why use the bigger LLM outputs for this and…
It's no secret they've been tracking people's faces as much as they can. The morning of Pretti I was on Lyndale and there were two men wearing "press" jackets with DLSRs taking pictures of people's faces in the crowd.…
The people controlling what went on the screens were unreliable and nondeterministic. The algorithm on facebook/instagram is nondeterministic and I hope I don't have to convince you of the impact these algorithms have.…
Right, but this electron box led to one of the largest (if not the largest) media revolution that has transformed the course of humanity in a frightening way we're still trying to grapple with. Still saying "LLMs are…
_Nobody_ has the right take. Believe it or not, being seemingly laissez-faire about something can be a well evaluated and rigorous position. I highly doubt that OP doesn't care about the potential negative ramifications…
I'm still trying to understand how I feel about this so this is a bit of a napkin ramble; I can't help but feel like they've missed the mark a bit on some of the imagery from the mission that's been published so far.…

cybernetic culture research unit http://www.ccru.net I doubt it's currently maintained, but these esoteric sites are fun
Slightly off topic, but when I read about these archeological discoveries being made thanks to custom software, ML or the like - Who is writing this code? To me these projects would be so fun to work on, but this domain…
Product owners and business people request code in vague English all the time. It's our job to parse it to code using our own judgement.
I think it's really useful for agent to agent communication, as long as context loading doesn't become a bottleneck. Right now there can be noticeable delays under the hood, but at these speeds we'll never have to worry…
I'm not saying you're wrong, but why is this the case? I'm out of the loop on training LLMs, but to me it's just pure data input. Are they choosing to include more code rather than, say fiction books?
I've been thinking exactly this. I'm a recent CS grad and have zero experience in anything physical or on the engineering side but I think I would enjoy it. I'm a bit intimidated by it, is there a path you'd recommend…
Fair enough. I will ask, how many billions have been spent in not only FSD but the car infrastructure that makes room for FSD investment? I'm being slightly fanatical, but if our priorities were not car-centric in the…
> It absolutely targets a problem that exists. Even in places with pretty great public transit, there is some demand for taxis/Uber/etc. Oftentimes even moreso, because if I don't need a car for 90% of trips, I might…
This is true. Now to start a tangent, what's the easier problem to solve: FSD, or a robust public transport system? Moving rooms have always been around in the form of trains, busses, streetcars etc...
FSD is not being marketed as an aide for elderly people or those with disabilities, it's being marketed as a panacea for all driving related problems
I think self-driving targets a problem that doesn't really exist. The issue isn't that the act of driving is a laborious task, it's simply the amount of time spent in a car, which FSD doesn't address.
You say this in jest, but Uber is trending towards this right now: https://www.uber.com/us/en/ride/uberx-share/ Convergent Evolution happening in realtime- it's almost as if community pooled forms of transportation are…
The point isn't if the output is correct or not, it's if the actual net is doing "logical computation" ala Prolog. What you're suggesting is akin to me saying you can't build a house, then you go and hire someone to…
GCC can use randomized branch prediction.
