It doesn't. This is extending an earlier PoC where someone created a tensor representation of a CPU and you prompted it with the code you wanted to run. This will be interesting when something similar to a CPU can be…
LLM != CPU hardcoded into the same architecture used for an LLM. The non-determinism did not go away - all this is doing is intercepting tool-calls produced by qwen and executing that in different layers. It's truly not…
depends on what being good at grammar entails. If it's just following rules, then you're not wrong. If it involves adapting concepts to novel circumstances, we're doing well.
Your idealism manifested as practical flourishing when you started a family.
Imo, the right is experiencing an intellectual renaissance rn - but this is much more aligned w/ recovering normative morality, re-enchantment and multi-polarity than it is with the libertarian, anti-democracy strain of…
The differences b/w knowing, understanding and interpreting are suddenly very real and highly relevant.
I, for one, am profoundly thankful that the ~300 year mania around innovation and newness is beginning to wane. You don't need to read that many history books to appreciate that the values that we have today are…
"you will reach El Dorado" is profoundly different than "I will reach El Dorado"
I wouldn't be surprised if it's marketing all the way down.
Personally - for banking - I'd be plenty happy dealing w/ 90% uptime if it gave me an order of magnitude more security against getting robbed. This tradeoff may not have been realistic a decade ago, but it seems to be…
I could imagine it going so far as to have an LLM re-impl core libs every time a request is processed. Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
What would you prefer: 99% of user requests to succeed but w/ 5% risk of getting O-day'd, or have 90% of user requests succeed but w/ 0.1% risk of getting 0-day'd.
Makes sense to me - I see it going down two separate routes in parallel: One is to take the human out the OODA loop for cyber defense. Servlet libs (for example) are going to become fluid, self-modifying things w/…
Interesting project. I've been thinking about the need for something similar at work when a coworker thought it was a good idea to explode our design documents by having an AI slop out tens of pages of additional design…
Working on getting real-time computer vision telemetry from cameras placed in a barn. Managing the training datasets was annoying enough that I created my own simplified clone of CVAT and LabelStudio : a browser-based…
Seems more like a misalignment b/w the people practicing mathematics and the people ultimately footing the bill for their work. Governments are invested in solving mathematical problems for practical purposes. Up to…
They will use it for nefarious but "legal" purposes - however - they have decades of experience handling such data and keeping it "safe" from "illegal" purposes.
handling end-to-end flight booking seems like a very good target use-case that if you can get right, implies that you got a lot of other things right. Just like how Amazon started off by selling books online.
Been working on a similar project for doing animal behavioral analysis on cameras setup in a barn. Turns out I need to build a data distillation pipeline first.
So in computer science we have this thing called "distributed systems". It turns out that even if you buy the biggest and most powerful computer there is, all it takes is one problem with that one machine to make your…
Truly fascinating how when you're a tourist in a place that survives off of tourism, you get treated nicely.
It is utterly fascinating the ends to which people will go to insist the opposite.
Seems like the difference b/w samurai and ninja. The samurai saw his sword as an extension of his soul - a disrespect to the sword was a disrespect to the man. The ninja used the sword like any other tool - and if it…
Sure, I'm conflating the tool w/ the people building the tool - but imo muddling the distinction is good, because the hard distinction is what tricks people into an unthinking mode.
Reminds me of Blood Meridian where The Judge meticulously sketches the rock glyphs that he comes across, and then destroys the original. Now that I think about it, The Judge is an apt metaphor for AI : "Whatever in…
