In 1947, arabs refused the UN partition plan and decided to wage war against jews ( which accepted that plan) to remove them from the map. They were 100% certain to be able to do so, and nobody bet a penny on the jews winning at 1 vs 10. Th

Seems like the general problem is consistency within the model. To people working in the field : what are the current options explored for solving this problem ?

Yes, i don't think that's a contradiction to what i said. i'm well aware chomsky's initial fame is due to its academic achievements.

by bsaul 1y ago
chomsky is invented not just for linguistic. Simply because linguistic doesn't interest the wider audience that much. That seems pretty trivial.

another person in the thread suggests it's working over a screen capture stream. But that's what i'm wondering : are they working over a video of the screen or by integrating directly with the internals of the OS.

oh ok, didn't understand that it was working over a screen capture stream... thanks !

how large is the wasm package for an empty sqlite, together with the client library to access it ?

Hey,i'm trying it and just a sidenote : the french translation is atrocious (to the point where you may completely misunderstand the feature). I had to translate back to english in my head to try and find the original meaning. A quick

Mojo is marketed as a way to get maximum hardware performance on any hardware, not just nvidia. This may appeal to people wanting to run their code on different hardware brands fro various reasons.

"…we would never look to linguistic competence". On the contrary, i strongly believe that what LLM proved is the fact linguists have always told us about : that the language provides a structure on top of which we're building

we understand the concept, but do we really intuitively understand it ? It happens very often that you "know" something, but then you experience it, and realize you never really understood it before.

As always with definitive assertions regarding LLMs incapacities, i would be more convinced if one could demonstrate those assertions with an illustrative example, on a real LLM. So far, the abilities of LLM to manipulate concepts, in pract

"[AI] is not capable of working at a conceptual level". I wonder where did author got that feeling. What recent LLMs proved time and time again is that they are definitely able to work at conceptual level (by correctly translating

interesting, thanks. But isn't this just playing with definitions ? It seems like what lacan described was a way to fight against pre-judgement, in order to reach a better understanding of the subject.

not the exact same meaning (clairement really is "clearly" and not "simply") but very similar, yes.

In french we have this very old expression : "ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement". "what is well understood will be clearly phrased". It's been consistently used by parents and teachers since the 17th c

the reason he did that was for business reasons. He wanted to be able to expose any part of the stack as a public service to external customers, and vice versa, to let his internal service compete against the publicly available ones. But th

Ultimately markets do ask the only relevant question : are people going to pay for LLMs' output .

i could have written all of this myself. I use it exactly for the same purposes ( except i don't do undergrad physics, just maths) and with the same outcome. It's also pretty useful for brainstorming : talking to AI helps you refi

Never thought of it like that. Super interesting, thanks. Edit: isn't that the case for all "async" systems, in every language ?

not sure why you were downvoted. You're working there, so i guess your testimony is an interesting data point.

did you redevelop everything from scratch or did you try to reuse existing open source tech ?

Since you're mentionning it : i was surprised to find no golang "context" equivalent in rust's axum. How do you manage cancelling a long-running operation triggered inside an http request handler when the connection clos

for anyone reading this later : i was wrong. Rust does bring unexpected lifetime issues as soon as you're using async, even in glue code.

i indeed got the feeling that rust style favors macros over complex function signatures. I'm still unsure if it's a good thing in general, because as a general rule meta programming is always harder to debug. But for simple macros

I hope the same, and TBH it's the only reason i'm keeping up developing that backend in rust. I hope that in the end, it's going to improve my style. Go felt the same way (but with a much lower order of magnitude) : you feel

oh, believe me, cloning and Arc-ing is something i realized very early that i was going to use. But that's the point: you still end up with things like : Arc<tokio::RwLock<dyn MyTrait>> for every single dependency. Then you

I am keeping up, but honestly i feel like rust dev is a bit like a trap : people like us love challenges and solving technical problems. So whenever we "triumph" over a rust tricky compilation issue, we feel intense gratification
