When I was studying my CS degree (2018-2022) it was actually encouraged to work together outside of classes with fellow students. We had a CS discord run by the school (or maybe volunteers from the school? I dunno) with diff channels for di

"On paper, it looks like a smart decision. Reduce paper, reduce staff, reduce operating costs. But what gets overlooked is the hit to the customer experience." As always.... this philosophy is basically killing any customer exper

There are some things that I feel really shouldn't be enshitified by AI and this is one of them. Sad world TBH.

Lol yeah exactly, if kids want to go on social media they will 100% find a way around it.... putting in these identity requirements will literally do nothing except require us as adults to give over more information. I'm sure everythin

I agree, I think kids should have limited access to the internet. I pretty much did and it worked out for me but I have seen so many reports about it causing harm in schools and personal life. (Specifically I think LLMs should not be used i

So far this is some of the best uses of ML I've seen to date! This is one of the few things you can point at and say "AI made the world a better place" IMO (this and medical research).

Because the transformer, which all of these models are foundationally built off of and didn't invent themselves (bar google) wasn't invented? The amount of effort it took humanity to generate all the data that was required for the

Just a heads up (you may already know this) -- In the local LLM community there's a pretty strong disdain for Ollama specifically due to numerous reasons provided in this blog post: https://sleepingrobots.com/dreams&#x2

What are some examples of features that they have added since December that you use? I originally had setup openclaw back in Jan(?) and had it generating some news summaries for me and stuff. But ran out of ideas... would like to try it out

Agreed, I went through the blog post and a few other pages trying to figure out what the benefit of Iroh is since I have never heard of it... was struggling lol.

Earlier this year I had used it because I would rather have a IDE-like exp and be able to actually look at the code. However, recently switched to using claude code VS code extension and it's basically the same thing (plus at Amazon we

Wow that's actually sick as hell, somehow hadn't heard of this. maybe I will go and blow $700 on a new ram kit... thanks for sharing!

Wait so this makes it so I can use my DDR5 as well as my VRAM combined? This is actually sick if so. Maybe I will actually have to go out and buy some more DDR5 (currently only have 32GB...)

This seems really cool actually. Just read thru the README and watched the demo gif. Any examples of what you've built with it so far? Might have to play around with it tonight. I've been getting pretty heavy into local LLMs since

IIRC when they make a big enough architecture change to the model they will need to rerun pre training . So not like they’re feeding it more data (they will be but will be a drop in an s3 bucket compared to their dataset reserves) but rathe

Lol ++. Although my local host for agent/codex stuff is a raspberry pi I connect to on LAN from my gaming/powerful desktop for sandboxing. However my use case seems to be the exact problem they are trying to solve! Might have to t

Maybe I'm in the minority but I still program with an IDE and a chat window in the side at work, as well as when I work on side projects. I do like to actually see the code that is getting produced.

I think a lot of the time when this debate occurs (which, at this point, literally every single day I see something about this) UBI is almost always the contention point but I feel like that's really not the end-all... Like, sure, say

There's a lot of speculation that it is indeed a marketing plot and the model is just a step improvement over current capabilities... and the real reason they aren't releasing the model is they are compute constrained and cannot s

I wouldn't say it's Nvidia stepping back from open source... if anything this is doubling down on it, as one of the selling points of this is the 128GB of unified memory which will allow for hosting local models (i.e, nvidia'

Just curious OP (if you're the one posting) -- what do you mean by independent researcher? What are you researching and are you making $$ from it or are you living off previous built up savings? Seems like an interesting path. What res

Money?? Isn't that why we put up with any of this shit? The stress in this industry is intense, espically in big tech companies, and the only reason it's worth it is the extremely high salaries and stock vests.... I've been a
