I find it a bit strange to assume you can only understand these topics with a philosophy degree. My CS degree had a good chunk of philosophy baked in (philosophy of science) and parts of it strongly encouraged you to dive into philosophy. A

My anecdotal evidence from France and Germany is that there is very much a trend to look for non-U.S. alternatives which is somewhat recent. It is related to the current government, not really politically motivated but more of a "no gu

It seems a bit odd to me to have a home lab for the sequencing and then feed it to a cloud LLM. I would have thought the point of the home lab is privacy.

And you'd need the DNA of all dogs to boot (unless they are already somehow stored when a dog is registered). But generally speaking, I do like the idea. Also for horse poop which is pretty common on roads here in the countryside.

I loved this game. First RTS I ever played :)

He basically accused many players of cheating without any real evidence. His proofs are notoriously bad. The most notable examples are Daniel Naroditsky who was under immense psychological stress due to the allegations and died due to an ac

There's a decent argument for using today's words even for settings that are no the current world. But for fantasy specifically I find it breaks immersion quite a bit. I'm not convinced by the "language changes over time

I guess my pet peeve of "firing an arrow" is also a gun mistake of sorts. It can be found in many fantasy books. A bow is not a gun, there's no gunpowder involved. If a commander orders his archers to "fire" what sh

Is there a list or overview of all open source projects that refuse to accept AI-code? It pops up every now and then but would be nice to have a good reference. Could also be interesting for quality analysis and so on in the future. I can f

Yeah just to clarify, I meant there are probably a lot of issues in existing smart contracts that can be discovered with Mythos style LLMs. And given how many exist and are fairly blindly trusted (who ever reads the audit reports) this coul

The fun ahead will probably be capable LLMs + smart contracts. There are probably a lot of issues that can be discovered.

I wear over-ear headphones almost all the time when I'm out on my own using public transportation, grocery shopping etc. I listen to audio books (fiction) and it's great. I'm an introvert and this actually helps me keep high

That jump through the mirror blew my mind as a kid. And level 6 oh man took us forever to beat that slightly obese guard. I still remember that we once accidentally walked all the way into that guard and switched places but then were killed

There's a certain irony in coining the term on discord. Nice blog post but I'm used to reading these from people who hang out on IRC. Times are changing indeed. My private version of anti-dopamine fracking is playing the phone gam

I've been a bit out of the loop with Austrian Economics (last re-read of Human Action was ~15 years ago). I'm very well read in it and enjoy the aesthetics of the theories and the history of thought books but got very tired of the

Unfortunately DDG is still horrible for non-English results. As are most "smaller" search engines. I rotate through them every now and then to try. Is there a meta search engine that uses country specific engines depending on sear

We're talking about enterprise customers. The trivial answer is Mistral has sales teams and consultants from the same company that builds the models and from the EU.

I don't see it mentioned explicitly in the methods section but I assume you prompted each model only once for each question? Did you consider prompting n-times in blank states to see if the models even agree with themselves? Would also

I agree. Once upon a time I was quite interested in FPGAs but the infrastructure being so uninviting in general made me move on completely. I was somewhat recently involved in quantizing neural networks with FINN (AMD) and let's just s

Nice analysis, I would have loved a short overview of the kinds of experiments that were running on the machine (I know the results are given). I find the "independent researcher" business model quite interesting. In the linked po

If I'm only thinking about non-programming business applications, anecdotally, Mistral is certainly a player in the European enterprise market. For most German companies I have interacted with, Mistral was the first point of contact re

I used it a bit, had it installed for a while on a G4 PowerBook (must have been early-ish 2000s). I like the no-nonsense attitude towards blobs, security focus. Overall the experience was very good. The bit of code I read was also written n

Seems like textbook Inside the Tornado marketing. Pick a country as a bowling pin, show some success, go for a different/bigger country. Presumably cover EU first this way. Be the first to offer all-citizens licenses.

I did it back in the day when fast.ai was relatively new with ULMFiT. This must have been when Bert was sota. The architecture allows you to train a base and specialize with a head. I used the entire Wikipedia for the base and then some GBs

Innocent mistakes and frustrating back and forth are also very common, especially for interdisciplinary teams. The mismatch in tooling and workflows and manual copy & paste conversion is a thing to behold. Add multiple countries and Exc

I cook a lot of Vietnamese food. Goto recipe for fish sauce to use with bánh xèo and the like is roughly 4:1 water to fish sauce (3:1 is also fine) mix with 1-1.5 tablespoons of sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Chop 2-3 pieces of garlic

Great achievement. Sometimes I imagine a world where the LLM-money, will and time was funneled into more aggressive CRISPR research and medical advances in general. If I want to go full sci-fi I even imagine cloning.

The described enterprise sales process sounds a bit odd to me. I come from the perspective of existing codebase that is tailored to the specific customer processes/org structure etc. so maybe it's different for a completely blue o

Swift is at least in the TIOBE Top 20 (#20) and Scratch is at #12 but more educational. I'd also add Kotlin and Dart as contenders which sit just outside the top 20.

True, I can only know that the owner of the private key signed but not how the document was created. But I suppose there is some trust involved that a person I know who signs doesn't sign some AI generated stuff. To establish the initi
