Watch out for Epic. I worked for a company that was excited to integrate with them, due to customer interest (we did SMART on FHIR and couple of HL7 interfaces). We had paid to have an Epic TS (technical services) person work with us, they

I believe the issue here is with tooling provided to the LLM. It looks like GitHub is providing tools to the LLM that give it the ability to search GitHub repositories. I wouldn't be shocked if this was a bug in some crappy MCP impleme

Firstly, can't speak for Chomsky. In this article he is very focused on science and works hard to delineate science (research? deriving new facts?) from engineering (clearly product oriented). In his opinion ChatGPT falls on the engine

When I started working in the field (1996), I was told that I would receive detailed specs from an analyst that I would then "translate" into code. At that time this idea was already out of fashion, things worked this way for the

From a marketing perspective, this strikes me as a very predictable response.

Okay, I read the paper. I see what they are saying but I strongly disagree that the model is "thinking". They have highlighted that relationships between words is complicated, which we already knew. They also point out that some w

It reads to me like they compare the output of different prompts and somehow reach the conclusion that Claude is generating more than one token and "planning" ahead. They leave out how this works. My guess is that they have Claude

Is this really a Docker feature, though? llama.cpp provides acceleration on Apple hardware, I guess you could create a Docker image with llama.cpp and an LLLM model and have mostly this feature.

My understanding has always been that Docker Engine was only available directly on Linux. If you are running another operating system then you will need to run Docker Desktop (which, in turn, runs a Docker Engine instance in a VM). This com

AccuWeather has been lobbying to remove weather data from the public view for years. The idea here is that AccuWeather will have access to this data and then sell forecasts to the rest of the country. https://www.washington.edu&#

Anyone using these tools would do well to take this article to heart.

So weak! No matter how good a model gets it will always present information with confidence regardless of whether or not it's correct. Anyone that has spent five minutes with the tools I knows this.

Donald Trump is in the process of doing this right now. Law firms that worked with the prosecution of many of his cases are being actively pressured. In some cases they are being banned from government owned buildings, banned from lists of

It's dumb on every angle. How many people are going to these lengths to avoid an MS account? Even if they suck it up and stick with Windows, will this really convert them into MS Store app buys or whatever? I doubt it. They make people

I'm pretty sure Apple switched to USB-C to comply with EU requirements. I don't think the success of USB-C has much to do with it. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/26/iphone-us...

Or just send spam through their iPhone. I don't get this argument that Apple making it difficult for their paying customers to send and receive messages is somehow a good thing. It's also not like Apple is helpless, they managed t

Only letting Apple Watch have this functionality is what is wrong. It's clearly anti-competitive, in my opinion their hand-waving about security is just that. They could implement something that works for other smartwatch vendors, they

Back in the 90s, Apple seemed to have a lot of these same problems. Software quality was declining and they had real trouble executing on anything strategic. They aren't there yet, but they certainly seem to be headed down a similar pa

In my opinion, web browsers have become too popular and widespread. They're an important application on nearly every phone, laptop and desktop computer sold. The pressure to implement pervasive tracking is immense. I don't see a f

Docker Desktop has a much more restrictive license. Unfortunately, on MacOS and Windows, the "Docker Desktop" product is often referred to as simply "Docker". FWIW, Podman has an open source alternative to Docker Desktop

They've started already, I've seen posts on LinkedIn implying or outright stating that DeepSeek is a national security risk (IMHO, LinkedIn being the social media outlet most corporate-sycophantic). I went ahead and just picked t

My preference would be a law that bans some specific activity (i.e. the collection of some set of data that should remain "private"). From there it would be straightforward to establish when an application (like TikTok or Instagra

Wouldn't banning the collection of this confidential data provide a better solution? Meta could still turnaround and sell this information to Chinese companies.

by cmiles74 2y ago
Clearly the US government would like only US companies to collect this kind of data. Eliminating the biggest competitors for companies like Google, X and Meta is likely just the icing on the cake.

I'm not convinced an LLM is really "recalling" any CS concepts when they try to solve a problem. IMHO, we're lucky if it matches the pattern of the request against the pattern of a solution and the two are actually relat
