I wonder how many of the GPT-generated papers are actually made by people whose native language is not English and who want to improve their English. That would explain various "as of my last knowledge update" still left intact in

Laravel follows dubious practices: god objects (like a parent class which has hundreds of functions), static functions etc. The kind of practices our product is actively moving away from (originally based on Symfony 1 which had all the arch

A few days ago I prototyped an AI chatbot which has access to our product's documentation and so far whatever I throw at it, it answers pretty well, without hallucination. It uses GPT4o-mini and OpenSearch for hybrid search (with custo

I suspect GPT4o already has training for CoT. I've noticed it often responds by saying something like "let's break it down step by step". Or maybe it's the system prompt.

At our organization, a bunch of devs which were interested in improving/automating infrastructure split into a separate DevOps team. They first called themselves DevOps, then renamed themselves to SRE, then again to Production. Every t

I tried learning PyTorch with ChatGPT and it's not so bad. It explains certain topics and provides examples. And if you run it side-by-side with a Python shell and type examples yourself you can see yourself if it hallucinates or not.

We've ditched "magical dependency injection frameworks" for manual injections in constructors and the net result is that development is actually faster. Yes, you write slightly more code, but at the same time, it's much

Calling it a "transformer" is misleading when discussing language modelling because it now means a very specific ML architecture while your project seems to be about Markov chains + hardcoded rules using regexps https:/&#x2F

It's possible to train useful LLMs on affordable harwdare. It depends on what kind of LLM you want. Sure you won't build the next ChatGPT, but not every language task requires a universal general-purpose LLM with billions of param

It's a fork with a lot of modifications (mostly removing deprecated stuff and making it cross-platform). You can still see a lot of ancient stuff in the sources such as referring to the base Object class as "COM+ object" (.NE

How hard is it to tap on "New secret chat"? In my Android client all I need to do is to tap on the large blue icon in the bottom right corner, choose "New secret chat" (other options: "New group" and "New

So all the FAQs on their official site are open about technically being able to read private messages if you don't enable secret chats, and it's somehow lying? The main page says Telegram is "secure" without elaborating,

by kgeist 2y ago
Well, the FAQ on their site clearly says that only "secret chats" are end-to-end encrypted. Not sure where the lie is. Although, it indeed may mislead the average user who knows nothing about E2E. WhatsApp made E2E the default onl

Chromium's codebase isn't so bad for a first timer. Years ago our product had a bug on Windows where if you paste an image from the clipboard, the image had garbage in it (something to do with alpha channels). I realized Chrome ha

For me Telegram is more like an uncensored Twitter slash blog platform. I use it to check out public channels for updates and that's about it. For private communication, I use Whatsapp. So, lack of e2e by default is not an issue for me

IIRC the bans weren't successful because the Telegram client had a system which announced new servers/IPs via push notifications. So they easily evaded it. Plus, the agency responsible for the bans got a bad rep after accidentally

Nitpick: USSR was never officially a communist state, it was a "socialist" state. I remember the Soviet government had slogans like "we will build communism by 1980" etc. No one thought they already had communism. IIRC t
