This is very true, but difficult to sustain collectively, which I think is the problem. From what I've seen of those communities, there is a lot of spam from low-quality projects, which of course is easier to deliver…
I keep them as reference, primarily. It's useful (and comforting?) to have a non-malleable point-of-truth. Some books get out of date too fast. Though even a book specific to one architecture will retain relevance for…
Structured and precise prompts help a lot, IMHO. Most models do definitely get "lost" even within their context window. I've found it handy to keep templates of structured prompts that include examples and explicit…
I don't know what it is that creates this feeling, but I am so drawn to read the text when I click into the site. Much more so than on Wikipedia or other online sources. Is it just nostalgia? I don't have any concrete…
The author makes a good point, but also, the visual appeal of this blog is very readable and appealing. Not a format I would have thought of but it's a pleasant surprise.
Asking this honestly...if certain kinds of inflammation tend to accelerate aging, and those inflammations can be controlled or decreased, does that, in effect, at least slow (if not actually reverse) aging? Granted that…
This specific finding is minor, but its implications are not IMHO. From the article it appears the researchers consider this a discovery in effect. If consumer hardware is already capable (in many settings) of…
As a concept, it's intriguing. In practice, a lot of pieces need to work out just right for this particular instance of the idea to gain traction. IMHO a few factors need to be met: * Truthfulness -- granted that many…
1. As a sporadic viewer of the newer Simpsons, the quality appears to vary. How can any show remain consistently humorous through nearly 40 years of content? And across how many writers, over time? That being said, it's…
Everybody's got a party and if you leave, you ruin the party -- apparently. Isolated "walled gardens" are a kind of Intranet. Ingress requires buy-in (sign up, log in, identity proof, human proof); leaving means…
Is there a way to keep up to date on updates and new announcements? TIA.
Agreed, from the article, there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation. Just two largely unrelated trends.
I'm not sure I understand the claims being made. I'm curious if this is experiential / anecdotal or if widespread. I think OSS is OSS always...being able to audit it makes it (reasonably) reliable, at least in the sense…
I'm not aware of any SoTA outside of Veo and Sora. I've found the two of them mostly comparable for one-off use cases. Veo3 might be a bit "crisper" in some uses but this is anecdotal...I'd also be curious if anyone…
I've always been interested in the little I've read of Pepys, but I had no idea about this backstory! Does anyone know when (if?) the offending passages got included in the published version?
Sometimes it seems you can "remind" the more established models, and this will bring the context back into focus (just from personal experience) but why that would work, I can only guess. What methods have you found to…
I know I'm not alone in maintaining a strong feeling that we've "gone the wrong way" with tech in a lot of ways, as the meme goes, and forgotten (societally) that tech is there for us rather than the other way around. I…
I see the points others are making, but I would find this a useful tool, I think. IMHO the missing factor gets bypassed on many posts like this (not just on this platform) -- the proof is in the product. Like any AI…
Completely agree. This is a great insight. IMHO part of the growth of a programmer is learning how the code fits the context, and a large part of that is writing less code, not more, or getting rid of some entirely.
Creating an effectively physical representation of a neural net appears like a major step forward, even if this is just the first part of that step. I am surprised that this is the first instance of this kind of…
I think the determinant will be how transparently this process is maintained.
Interesting. I view this as an antagonistic move against users, one of many in recent months and years, so I guess it's not really surprising (but that may be in large part my own preferences).
IMHO this breaks down into one of two answers: 1) I'm building something that makes a difference (if you think it does). 2) I'm building something that someone thinks makes a difference, and that person pays me (it's a…
This is really neat, and close to something I have always wanted to implement for managing a small local notes handling system. (As a side note which may be a kind of artifact of coding turf wars, I just can't consider…
This article read a little different than I expected from the title. I was just thinking about this topic recently through a book that surveyed historians in the 19th century. So many of them got their starts doing…
