"Blast-N-Peen" got a good chuckle out of me. On the other end of the spectrum, Ken Riddle at Electronic Memories was unsettlingly spare, a little bit sinister in its lack of graphic expression of any kind.

I also found eleven labs gave me the best results when transcribing French dialog from a 60s television show. Voxtral's output format was the easiest to work with when attempting to create actual subtitles.

I think people misunderstand the utility of Mistral's OCR. It's not going to beat SOTA models for extraction on edge-case docs, but it's MUCH cheaper and faster and does an excellent job on simple ones. I've been working

Nice! I test if models know which tubes I can use for an amp given the power and number of pins.

Lots of nice features but the UX and UI are so painful that it's not worth jumping from the stock kobo reader for me. It's nice to have another option though and if the UX improves one day maybe I'll use it as my main reader.

Hardly science fiction. I respect a lot of Simon's work, but his credibility gets chiseled away a bit each time he participates in these kinds of echo chamber posts that are basically secondhand marketing.

I wonder how much of the annoying aspects of the podcasters can be controlled by the custom user instructions. I hate sitting through the patter of how "we're not political, just reporting the views of the sources."

Except for the prize committees outsourcing roughly the same sets of judges, they work a lot like how you’d expect. The judges pickup a bunch of books and choose the ones they like the most. Since the author makes it clear how subjective th

So this is the new hot take? That kids need unfettered access to smart phones and the internet to toughen them up? Absolutely cringe.

My opinion about how people use fireworks changed when I adopted a dog from a shelter and discovered how deeply traumatizing booms are to her. From chatting with other dog owners this seems to be common. If my neighbors could see the extent

In rural places where wildfire risks are very high, firework bans are usually enforced and respected.

M series macs are usually used for running these LLMs locally because the GPU and CPU share the same pool of RAM at very low latency. If you upgrade your RAM on a different kind of chipset without the Unified Memory Architecture, then it&#x

I suspect with those specs, you're not in the game right now for reliably using local models for code generation. The easiest way in is a MacBook with at least 32GB of RAM. This should be able to run a 4bit quantization of qwen 3.6 usi

So many objects have their own networks now. With a clever SSID and placement in a room full of potential targets, it could be pretty tough for someone to narrow it down to the bulb.

I couldn't help reading this article in the voice of Ted Flanders. It's such an insipid point and the writing is so bad. Not the writers fault, but when you find out he lives in Switzerland it's kinda hilarious.

This is a good pattern because it would allow all the models to "think" a bit before giving an answer even if they don't have reasoning or thinking turn on. Just make sure you have the reasoning output before the final answer

I think we can all agree that this experiment being flawed in multiple ways is TRUE. But I think it's a great exercise in identifying common mistakes people make when using LLMs. This would be a great interview question for a prompt e

There are many applications. I mainly see it used for detecting drift in datasets for ML models. It has a nice benefit over the KL divergence in the case where the two distributions you're measuring have no overlap (KL won't compu
