LLMs at t=0 are predictable (will produce the same output starting from the same input) and do a much better merge work than any other non ML based algorithm. Cut & paste all the examples you can come up to Claude and tell me if LLMs ar

Hot take after trying it a bit. I was not impressed with llama 3.2, but this one, well, it looks like we finally have a very very strong free LLM.

Now that there are LLMs available, why is this still a problem? You just have to detect the conflicts and show a powerful enough LLM the two versions and tell it to do its best job at merging. This solves exactly the kind of issue described

Cool, $200 for a model that can't remotely match $20 Claude Sonnet. This will be a huge hit I guess.

I don't think you necessarily need a mentor. I would do that: 1. Learn algorithms, buy some book and start reading. 2. Learn theory of neural networks, use the Chollet book to develop some knowledge and intuition. 3. Write many small &

To think that AI is as irrelevant as blockchain, crypto and NFTs is a tragical error many are committing, sir. Those things were trivial and useless and it was clear since the start, and even if tons of money and marketing were put inside,

Appropriate response by 4Chan to this: simplify the human work given that anyway it's simple to solve via NNs. We are at a point where designing very hard captchas has high probabilities to increase the human annoyance without decreasi

I may be biased, but I think this announcement is actually a very good sign for Redis, since it shows that the focus is back to the community edition, that is, the source tree you can just download from GitHub (and I believe this is an effe

For people in the 3D printing space, the most important points so far are not the fact printers are designed on open source hardware, but: 1. That they are easy to fix. This is still the case with Prusa, and that's a good thing, togeth

I wonder how well Montecarlo works with a problem like this (for the online version), where you try all the potential places and run simulations adding new random boxes similar to the one added so far in order to see which option allows for

I agree with the sentiment of the article, but Postel law is a good idea that has very little to do with the context. Of course the real problem is that it's a very small advice that needs to be put into context each time, and here is

That's a lot of cool stuff. I'll try to merge them. It's not for lack of interest but for focus concerns (too many projects very the years). I'll also check if I can add some official collaborators to the project, so tha

In most real world scenarios, the tradeoffs are a bit softer than what people in the formal world dictates (and doing so they forced certain systems to become suboptimal for everything but during failures, kicking them out of business...).

The timeout must be much larger than the time required to do the work. The point is that distributed locks without a release mechanism are in practical terms very problematic. Btw, things to note in random order: 1. Check my comment under t

Much more usable if this will target directly the LILYGO T3 and T3/S3. One would optionally add more hardware if needed to support the IR blaster, NFC and so forth, but the LoRa chip is already included.

Not possible since Claude is effectively GPT5 level in most tasks (EDIT: coding is not one of them). OpenAI lost the lead months ago. Altman talking about AGI (may take decades or years, nobody knows) is just the usual crazy Musk-style CEO

I fail to see the difference. Actually, programming was one of the first field where LLMs shown proficiency. The helper nature of LLMs is true in all the fields so far, in the future this may change. I believe that for instance in the case

Terrible article. The author does not understand how LLMs work basically, since an LMM cares a lot about the semantic meaning of a token, this thing about the next word probability is so dumb that we can use it as "fake AI expert"

It's very surprising that the author of this post does 99% of the work and writing and then does not go forward for the other 1% downloading ollama (or some other llama.cpp based engine) and testing how some decent local LLM works in t
