Do you know what places people who are interested in research congregate at? Every forum, meet up or journal gets overwhelmed by bullshit with a year of being good.

If the bitter lesson were true we'd be getting sota results out of two layer neural networks using tanh as activation functions. It's a lazy blog post that should be thrown out after a minute of thought by anyone in the field.

With salaries like that it's not first world either. If op is trying to catch up to frontier models locally on a budget 1/5th of what you can get in the west then I can see why she would feel the way she does about Ai.

$5000 monthly salary? My heart goes out to all the oppressed programmers in the EU.

Because the difference between a model that costs 10 million to train and a model that costs 10 billion to train is 6 months. Deepseek R1 is something that you can run in a garage on hardware that the average software engineer can buy with

Read chapter 5 of SICP. Whenever I talk to people who rave about SICP I get the feeling they never made it to chapter 4 and beyond. > In this chapter we will describe processes in terms of the step-by-step operation of a traditional comp

An algorithm with no idea of what abstraction even means.

That's not something AR headsets do. That is a arbitrary object detection problem, which is in general harder to solve than just using an ips.

Finding tools requires an indoor positioning system which is somewhat different to vr headset.

You make the start of a good point, but miss most of it. You can absolutely have open source machine code. The issue is and always has been that you need to have access to the same level of abstraction as the people writing the source code.

Linux doesn't ship a compiler or CPU when you download it. It's not open source I guess.

An llm isn't software any more than a matrix is. What do you think an open source matrix should look like?

Without seeing the context window you have no idea what the Ai was working on. It could have literally been told to mock and belittle "the information" in every reply. Something that deepseek r1 is exceedingly good at. Mr Musk, we

It did give us racially diverse Nazis though. Not sure if grok would do that.

Structure and interpretation of computer programs is a better nand2tertis. The issue is that it contains about 10x the information, assumes what an undergrad science student in 1980 would have known, has problems that are entire chapters of

Then it means the rust code does impact the C code and the rust people were lying.

It works better than those apps when you know what you are doing. Not everything needs to be made for a chimp.

Explain what the point is. Rust developers are promising that rust in the kernel should have no impact on c in the kernel. If rust in the kernel has no impact in c then you should be able to remove the rust from the kernel and move it to it

What extra effort? If you match upstream it's a drop in replacement and anyone who cares will use it. If they don't it's because they don't care.

Tesseract has had a near 100% success rate since the first time I used it in 2008 _when you read the manual_. Black letters on white background, xheight of between 10 to 30 px, tiff format, mono column layout, etc., etc., etc.. People get t

What I don't get is the complaints from the Rust people. If Rust truly is zero overhead on the C side of things then they should be just able to fork Linux indefinitely without any worry about what upstream does. Just fast forward ever

It's not the maintainers job to make your project happen. It's yours. If you need someone to do free work but you can't convince them then you either get their boss to tell them to do it, you take over their job, or - the one

Hey remember that time that Sam Altman got fired, started a mutiny, then took over and ~executed~ fired everyone who stood against him? Crazy how much drama happens in open projects like openAI.

Personally I'd go with the "biggest worries graph" for an explanation as to why I avoid rust like the plague. If you have half of all respondents say that it's not used enough the corollary they seem to have derived is &
