> Third you’re going to have to use TS for the frontend anyway. You can’t escape ts. This is obviously wrong. Sure you have to use Javascript for the web frontend that has interactivity without round-tripping to the server. Typescript

That's AI. That's the most flattering thing I can think of to say about statements that are so confidently wrong.

Emergent behavior is not new in the realm of software. Cellular automata has emergent behavior that can get pretty wild. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenia There are huge differences between brains and

They act like LLMs. They are unprecedented.

You are correct.

Maybe's its a problem with the hosting at novita.ai but I didn't got much useful out of this model as a coding agent.

I was hoping to see the reasoning_content mess get robustly fixed, but all we got was this doc change: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/50624

It's easier to deploy AI than it is to create good culture.

Exactly this. I've had ones for 10+ years that were never connected to the internet and they functioned perfectly well as dumb TVs.

Cool. I've never seen a computer act as if it's having consciousness.

> So because you eventually die, it means that you were never alive? I said nothing of the kind. I can only assume your question in response to my comments mean you think a powered computer is alive. I'll challenge that on the bas

If the computer is functional, powered, and connected to some some kind of interface allowing you to use it (e.g. network, touchscreen, desktop setup, etc.), then sure you can use it to perform general computation. But if its unpowered, is

And self-employment. Lots of people would like to go their own way in business, but don't have the capital to do it long enough (i.e. endure enough failed risks) to be successful.

Yeah, I just ignore the benchmarks at this point. For open-weight models the provider's setup impacts performance so you can have different experience's with the same model at the same quantization from different provider's.

It depends on which version of GUID it is. Only version 3 and 5 are hash based. The other versions are random, time, and/or MAC address based. Version 3 uses MD5 and its cheap to get the same hash for different images: https:/

I see no huge jump at all. If the companies don't care about copyright law, why do you think about they care about contract law? An LLM provider that only hosts inference and doesn't train models is at much lower risk of getting

"I don't see a lot of societal level problems other than the labor market" - that one problem is large enough to result in societal collapse.

Personally I don't care about common benchmarks as I don't find actual coding agent performance correlates strongly with them. One reason to use open-weight models is that they don't hide the reasoning, so you can do very ag

Dozens of providers of open-weight models. I have one session going with synthetic.new and another going with novita.ai right now.

As RAM prices are so nuts, I picked up a used gaming laptop early this year with an RTX 3070 (i.e. 8GB) to match the specs for my gaming tower that's run everything I'm interested in just fine. That includes recent Unreal 5.x gam
