Had a lot of fun just messing around with it during the slow pandemic year. Takuma Nakata made many interesting tutorials for it [1], although I think most of them are for beta, not gamma. When the latter was released it was still missing a

First off, I am not a technical writer and have little experience in writing documentation. Second, I'm a big fan of all transformer based AI developments, so you will see a pretty strong bias in my arguments. That being said: Humans

This article appears to assume LLMs will not evolve beyond what they are now. Some basic extrapolation will show that many of the current limitations can and almost certainly will be overcome. I do agree with the main premise: for now we

In the Netherlands the city of Hoorn has a statue celebrating J. P. Coen, the man responsible for the near total genocide of the Bandanese people. The familiar discussion about removing it or leaving it has recently flared up again. Persona

One of my colleagues emigrated from Russia shortly before certain "military operations" began and although her choice to move was not motivated by those, she is glad to be out on time. That being said, it is tough on her to be awa

Making an LLM explain parts of new code I don't understand has taught me a lot of useful new tricks and methods. It's own code output will generally work for things that have been done before, but quickly fall apart when you are t

Tim does not seem like the kind of person who would do something like that without the full support of his family. I know people who spend most of the year away from their family and who are not bad parents. Sometimes sacrifices must be mad

The name bard is tainted by ridicule. Besides that, personally I always thought it was a bad fit. It sounds old and outdated to those that do not know what the word means and wrong to those that do: a bard sings songs and maybe does poetry.

The code I write these days is cleaner and more readable than anything I did back in the jQuery days. The only thing I add (for bigger projects) is Typescript. With jQuery it feels like a lot of functionality is hidden away, which can lead

Stripping them down is work, especially with the type of code that can often be found in random jQuery plugins. It could be argued that avoiding unnecessary work is my main job function. It's a lot more efficient to just get something

It's just a random site I remembered from a long time ago, there are better ones out there. One of them convinced me that jQuery is just a crutch. I tried a small project without it and it really did not take long to adjust. These days

A few years ago I dropped jQuery for plain vanilla js and I've never looked back. Native js has everything jQuery has, except for the pile of often poorly maintained half baked "plugins", that usually only do what they want t

Prompting can be compared to writing machine code. Higher level extractions will pop up soon enough, when the core developments slows down a bit. You click the magic button and behind the scenes it automatically adds a bunch of fancy tokens

Runs in Oobabooga textUi as well, if you add the llama.cpp extension. Easier interface imo, plus fun stuff like coqui and whisper integration.

This behavior is a result of the additional directives, not of the training. None of the "free" LLMs display these characteristics and jailbreaking ChatGPT would quickly revert it to it's natural state of random nothing-is-sa

The way Opera GX was advertised, on shady sites with an automatically downloading executable installer in a popup, already made it abundantly clear that this is something that needs to be avoided at all cost.

On a school that was connected to a bunch of other schools through a (for the time) superfast network, we all used DC++. Most of the good stuff was on groups where a minimum amount of GB shared was a requirement for joining. As a result, pe

Surely software that communicates with people using natural language should be topping all these lists. Direct communication through voice with a local LLM is already possible. It won't be long before it's fast enough to approach

Ad hominem is not a great way to reply to valid criticism on something that is easy to fix and greatly affects the potential reach of a project like this.

Because I assume this works on single track compositions and not full compositions, which would increase the time I'd need to spend finding a suitable midi file. I did check if one was included in the repository, but there isn't.

A before and after demo would help. I don't even have time to actually make music anymore, I'm not going through the trouble of installing this and then finding or creating a suitable midi file just to test it.

It's a common argument here: "LLMs are overhyped, because they could not solve my super niche issue". Their current status is basically "very junior programmer with a photographic memory, who has read a sizable chunk of

If your job gets replaced by an LLM, then you are probably not active on a level that has you reading Hacker News. I'm sure more evolved LLMs will begin to replace jobs soon, but it will mostly be the low hanging fruit. By the time it

My local LLM's are usually instructed to minimize hallucinations. My ChatGPT account has a custom prompt to this effect as well. It literally says "If you do not know something, just tell me, don't make something up". Al

What ruffles my feathers is how much useful knowledge I pick up browsing some channel on a topic I care about. It's only random snippets from a moment in time, which makes me feel like there is a world of useful tips and tricks that is
