The knowledge wasn't removed, it's just the weights mean it would never be used. Quantization changes the calculations, and now the knowledge is available.

I love this story, despite it being the sort of thing I can imagine ending up on LinkedIn. Anyway, one question I did have which made me a little suspicious of the neat ending: why is the fork in the last picture obviously of a different ty

Interested to see how this performs against RAPTOR, which does summarisation and clustering. https://github.com/profintegra/raptor-rag https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/blob/maste

"AI means the end of coding" didn't age well. It turns out to get the most out of LLMs you need to program them.

That rather depends how you define expensive doesn't it? The toll is per vehicle and not per person. The price paid per vehicle is massively higher for the train.

I think it says a lot about how our society is so hugely car centric that the idea of charging people to drive on a road is hugely controversial, but the idea of making people pay to travel on a train is accepted without a thought.

I can't be the only one who read this headline and was disappointed that in fact they are not letting Weird Al write their interview questions.

If I were an airline executive who was looking to order new aircraft, the discount I'd need from Boeing would need to be pretty significant - it will have to more than offset the loss from customers who won't fly 737 MAX at any pr

Nice. For years I've been using [direnv]( https://direnv.net/ ) for this, setting environment variables which git picks up. This looks like a more feature complete equivalent, although to be honest I only really need swi

To follow your logic: if I pump out a lot of features but others find my code difficult to maintain I'm not being selfish. If I write code more slowly that others find easier to maintain, that is selfish?

If you judge productivity by lines of code, absolutely. https://github.com/Hello-World-EE/Java-Hello-World-Enterpris... is an excellent demonstration of this.

I strongly disagree with this view for applications, and mildly disagree for infrastructure projects. There is one thing I believe Go is by far and away the leader at: keeping codebases maintainable over time. Go is designed very clearly wi

I wonder what the rise in AI assistants like Github Copilot will mean for new projects like this? Will people avoid adopting them because code won't be auto-generated efficiently? It wouldn't be a barrier for me or many people tha

You have wonder if the plan was to buy Twitter specifically to kill it. If that's the case, Musk is doing brilliantly - plenty of scope for plausible deniability while succeeding at his goal.

My expectation would be that Prime Day just causes AWS to get a little further ahead than normal with provisioning new infrastructure. With AWS still growing they are constantly having to add hardware. Ahead of Prime Day, I presume they jus

IBM/Red Hat have just handed Rocky Linux the possibility of becoming the de facto enterprise Linux. The Rocky Linux team have already been selling support, but previously they could only hope to be an alternative to Red Hat. With IBM&#

MCC interim was the first Linux distribution. Its creator had to implement what we would consider pretty fundamental tools, including fdisk. Yggdrasil was released half a year or so later, and included most of these tools. https:/&#x2

From reading this launch post, I'm not convinced this is going to save too much money. The project automatically selects the cheapest cloud to run a job, and does it there - which sounds sensible. In reality though, these jobs presuma

In our interview process, there was a telephone call before the assessment and an in person interview after to cover off questions and getting a feel for the employer. For point 2, I think that can be a fair criticism for development roles.

That seems an odd statement to make about an operating system that is fully open source.
