But can be audited which I'd buy everyday. It's probably not to hard to find network calls in a codebase if this task must be automated on update.

An llm on your computer is a fun hobby, an llm in your SME for 10 people is a business idea. There are not enough resources on this topic at all and the need is growing extremely fast. Local LLMs are needed for many use cases and business w

Some are asking that yeah but I haven't run an install yet, I am documenting the process. This is a last resort, hosting on European cloud is more efficient but some companies don't even want to hear about cloud hosting.

Yeah I mean you'd want to take a look at the plan to get a bigger picture, it reflects a specific set of values which are not universally shared. This should led to the development of European models, but it feels inefficient to duplic

"Encourage Open-Source and Open-Weight AI" is the part just after "Ensure that Frontier AI Protects Free Speech and American Values" in America's AI Action Plan. I know this is not rational but OpenAI OSS models kin

SMEs are starting to want local LLMs and it's a nightmare to figure what hardware would work for what models. I am asking devs in my hometown to literally visit their installs to figure combos that work.

They are normal scrapers nothing specific to LLM as they are not yet used for training an LLM, unless I miss something from their architecture. So I don't get why they would be called LLM crawlers, when they are search engine crawlers.

The first sentence of the article is literally wrong as it conflates LLM and the search part of a RAG (retrieval augmented generation, when you mix a web search and an LLM). Blocking bots cuts you off from the next-generation search, becaus

On the electron part, it's common to (ironically) not support Linux. There are pretty annoying bugs with windows management (window will stay stuck in the background), build process are always OS specific, etc. So often not worth the m

For instance this one is a great, valuable read about AI and developers productivity: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44526912 Post that are just opinions doesn't really fuel discussions as they don't bring e

Can we collectively stop upvoting low quality 300 words random opinions about llm based dev? As a professional in the field I find the qualify of what's posted on HN really super low in this area, compared to posts eg related to cloud

TL;DR: article means traditional websites with server navigation (now dubbed MPAs, multi page applications) have evolved positively with better handling of page transitions. But they choose to frame this idea by trashing SPA, while both MPA

It's nice to see the French engineers collecting quantitative data to back future decisions thanks to our solid environment agency (the Ademe) work and public-private cooperation.

That's the problem with raws large models, it should always be coupled with satellite small models and logic. It's (probably) easier to detect hallucinations using a traditional ML/DL model that can catch mismatches (it'

The article would probably be more complete with references to similar terms "linear program" or "integer program", unless this is also a slightly different meaning?

This means I believe we currently underuse LLM capabilities and their empirical nature makes it difficult to assess their limitations without trying. I've been studying LLMs from various angles during a few months before coming to this

This is a bit developer centric, I am much more impressed by the opportunities I see in consulting rather than applying LLMs to dev tasks. And I am still impressed by the code it can output eventhough we are still in the funny intern stage

They try to get value at their scale, which is tough. Your local SME definitely sees value in an embedding-based semantic search engine over their 20 years of weird unstructured data.

In an agentic setup the value is half the prompts half how you plug them together. I am opposing for instance a big prompt that is supposed to write a dissertation vs a smart web scraper that builds a knowledge graph out of sources and outp

I don't have a subscription not even an Open AI account (mostly cause they messed up their google account system). You can't extract value of an LLM by just using the official UI, you just scratch the surface of how they work. And

Most of them are a bunch of prompts and don't even have actual developers. For the good reason that there is no training system yet and the wording of how you call the people that build these system isn't even there or clearly def

Developers haven't even started extracting the value of LLMs with agent architectures yet. Using an LLM UI like open ai is like we just figured fire and you use it to warm you hands (still impressive when you think about it, but not wo

My experience is different, so far I've defended R&D that I believed to be eligible to tax credits, in order for companies to be competitive with other countries that also subsidize R&D and innovation, namely USA and Canada. Yo

If I read properly this is explicitely targeting UE, Canada, UK and other countries with high wages and R&D and software engineering capabilities.

Hi, CIR expert here, it's well and alive. There has been a communication push against it last year but relatively over. It's 30% of R&D expenses as a tax cut. Update: I think the 50% you mention is related to non salary expens
