Uruky sounds like the google that we used to have: one that's just good because it returns relevant results, not because of ecosystem lock-in. That being said, can't help noticing the [NO-AI] at the beginning of the post, and I wo

that animation of Altman with a thousand faces is oddly unsettling. Good job, new yorker.

A email thread, to me, is much preferable to any IM, unless participants knows to send those IMs in a thread as well. All the context are in there in the rawest of forms, you a run through them with your eyeballs or have your tools do the s

That’s fantastic. In your opinion what are some of the best books / resources you use to have this kind of understanding of LLM and the underlying deep learning algorithm?

I’m building a on-device AI App that supports a good variety of open-weight LLM Models. It’s mostly so that I can gain an intuition on what goes on when we do inferencing, but my longer term plan is 1. Support on-device RAG to allow chatti

Sadly that may not be far from the truth. China folks are more hungry than most in the west, with the exception of Silicon Valley and New York, and China isn't "burdened" by quality of life, and work life balance, which isn&#

I think while technically they differ mostly only in terms of the training materials thrown into it, the outcome is that each model is good at something and bad at others, just like human being. Soon you'll need standardized tests and

Sigh. But honestly, it just felt like people getting used to China doing outrageous things like these to the point where it's no longer interesting for a comment.

dude, that’s freaking nuts. It’s amazing and terrifying at the same time.

I don’t know man. I mean, google indexes the open web to create a search engine and we all seem to be fine with it. I do draw the line that if you want to build a LLM, there’s the internet for you, train your own damn model and stop piggy

Remember, "A little bit beyond Hello World" in Carmack's mind is Video Decompression code. Brings a little bit of perspective.

We in Hong Kong are all assuming that TikTok is CCP-owned at this point.

Young children are obsessed about TikTok, even in Hong Kong, and parents are just too happy to let their kids melt in front of a mobile screen all day just to get some rest.

But then there's also Zero chance that the CCP is telling them to leave Hong Kong. TikTok imho is a spying and influence tool for the CCP anyway. This move feels very very weird.

You're right that correlation does not equal causation, but it doesn't have to be for those folks to not care. Having lived in Singapore, Hong Kong (current) and China, I can tell you that in Singapore's case, folks are aware

It looks like something that's implemented in China, and we don't have problem with Ice drivers spitefully taking out multiple spots. What we have problem with is Ice drivers parking in Tesla Charging Spots (and this applies to o

Audible has something similar: they require that you use up all your credits before cancellation is even possible, so that is obstacle #1. Then they ask for reason and sub-reason, and give you either a $20 coupon if you say the reason is be

Thanks for the recommendation. Fantastic looking software that provides a far better visualization of the repo than anything else I have used. Bravo. I use CLI for almost everything but sometimes it helps to have a visual representation o

Living in another crowded city, Hong Kong, perhaps I can offer some perspective: We have tons of elevated tools highways and bypasses aimed at reducing traffic, the problem is all these elevated roads needs to go around a lot of tall build

I'd say the same as someone who lives in Hong Kong and travels to Shenzhen with some frequency. With one caveat, those folks selling parts definitely treats me with a lot less friendliness than they do with foreign buyers, especially w

Swift is simply a safer language to use, safer as in it tries to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. And at this point the framework support has pretty much caught up. So my vote is for Swift on new projects. And stick with Swi

That's a fair point, and I've lived in NYC briefly to know that it is indeed annoying to see the driver do circling around in traffic to get exactly to the door. You can use AI to solve it, or you can give the user power to tell t

iOS gets close to what you want. Apps have to ask for specific permission for specific reasons (location, background download, etc), otherwise it just get killed after a few minutes. Security is always at odds with convenience. It's

So the question is valid: what benefit does one get using Rush over Swift on developing for Mac? Rust may be a better language overall, while still be an inferior choice in this context of Mac OS X Native app development.

Some would argue that Gathering training data is beneficial to users in the long term, and the more aggressive auto-manufacturers go about it the better the cars will be to us users.

I agree that Tesla is using the term "autopilot" opportunistically to say the least. Whether the term accurately represents the feature they want to promote (imho technically it does, but more on that later) is becoming less rele
