If you want LLMs to have knowledge of the Norwegian language, wouldn't the most obvious thing to do be to build a good training dataset and make the dataset widely available? Why go to the expense of training your own model, especially

Any kind of radio control should be discounted when attacking a US carrier fleet, they will just be jammed. Autonomous optically guided missiles/drones would fare better, but those are still vulnerable to being blinded by laser systems

Their main DNS is 1.1.1.1 but their secondary is 1.0.0.1 not 1.1.0.0, so close but not quite.

What coding agent(ideally CLI) have people found works well with this? Occasionally I go and try different agents with openrouter models, but nothing seems to really get close to the proprietary ones like claude-code.

Yes, you have to use the same session, I guess you could load up a bunch of context, then fork the session into a few different tasks, although I haven't tried it.

I'm at an org, where every medium to large company meeting talks about AI in similar breathless non-specific terms, yet m365 copilot is the only approved AI chat, and GH copilot the only AI coding tool.

It's that but also the narcissistic injury caused by seeing an LLM practice the craft you have spent your life trying to perfect.

I relate to the points about obscure platform limits, and leaky abstractions, but when I look at the exe.dev platform, it might be the most obscure PaaS I've seen, and has it's own strange abstractions. The shell command to start

All of their benchmarks are against 16 bit models right? Why aren't they comparing to 2/3/4 bit quants?

It's also just wrong, their SQLite benchmark is only using a single thread for the SQLite connection. It's much faster with multiple connections.

The sqlite benchmark is not very optimised. Just adding: db.SetMaxOpenConns(runtime.NumCPU()) db.SetMaxIdleConns(runtime.NumCPU()) Made the performance on my machine go from 27,700.99 r/s to 89,687.36 r/s. I also trie

Elon has made multiple comments in the past about how much keeping SpaceX private, makes it easier to run, and achieve it's goals of colonising Mars. He has given up on that, he has abandoned the Mars goal, and he is sacrificing the co

Absolutely, no one should be rewarded for either tokens used or LOC generated. I just think in the absence of any incentives, token usage is a better heuristic as to value produced than LOC generated.

by WatchDog 6mo ago
Token usage is a different and more sympathetic heuristic than LOC produced. The metric by itself tells you nothing about what value those tokens produced, but to some extent it represents the amount of thinking you are able to offload to t

Fantasizing about having someone fired, making no effort to try and understand the viewpoint of the object of one's contempt, does not seem empathetic to me. As a side note, I found it ironic, that Keith's email that Bryan linked
