Do you know how it compares to marp? I've been using it last year and it's pretty nice. I hadn't heard about presenterm before. - https://marp.app/

People found the original post so impressive they were saying that it had to be coming from cheating by looking at EXIF data. The point of this article was to show it doesn't. It got an unfair advantage in 1 (and say 0.5) out of 5. Wit

Yeah, the author does note that in the article. He also points it out in the conclusion: > If it’s using other information to arrive at the guess, then it’s not metadata from the files, but instead web search. It seems likely that in the

The way https://gwern.net/ does it is quite good. The links open in a window, so you can still have centre aligned text with popups.

From Gary Marcus' (notable AI skeptic) predictions of what AI won't do in 2027: > With little or no human involvement, write Pulitzer-caliber books, fiction and non-fiction. So, yeah. I know you made a joke, but you have the sa

I'd be extremely surprised if AI labs are not doing or planning on doing this already. The same way that reasoning models are trained on chain of thoughts, why not do it with program state? Just have a "separate" scratchpad w

Honestly? I don't know how long it's been available. But I do know it's been some time already. Enough be aware of it when posting this on arxiv. I'm not even disagreeing that it takes time to write papers, and it's

It was officially launched 10 days ago, but has been openly available for way longer. Also, this is arxiv. The website that's explicitly about posting research pre peer-review.

For Google, definitely flash-2.0; It's a way better model. GPT-4o is kinda dated now. o1 is the one I'd pick for OpenAI. It's basically their "main" model now. I'm not that familiar with Claude for vision. I do

Sure, but they posted this 4 days ago. The minimum I'd expect for quality research is for them to skim the abstract before posting and change that line to: "Models from leading AI labs" or similar. Leaving it like now signals

Posted 4 days ago: > Three state of the art VLMs - Claude-3, Gemini-1.5, and GPT-4o Literally none of those are state of the art. Academia is completely unprepared to deal with the speed Ai develops. This is extremely common in research

If they are not listening to you, then I guess you did a great job then ;)

btw I'm not trying to defend LLMs here, I'd make the same comment if you flipped your question.

Look, I won't try to convince you're wrong. But if you come to a website with thousands of active users and ask: Do you agree with me? Don't reply if not. What do you expect? Might as well ask an AI to generate that text, sam

This is the 40% that OP mentioned. But there's a proportion on people/engineers that are just clueless and are incapable of understanding code. I don't know the proportion so can't comment on the 50% number, but hey defi

Larger models are more expensive to run (ceteris paribus). But we're seeing we can squeeze more performance from smaller models. You need to compare like-for-like. You can't say that the cost of building a 5-story apartment is inc

ChatGPT is one of the fastest growing apps ever. Saying that's there's no products is willful blindness by this point. This is hackernews. I'd expect users to have a basic understanding of VC investment. The expected value of

See situational-awareness[1], see the "algorithmic efficiencies" section. He shows many examples of how models are getting cheaper. With many citations. Costs are not just down on a specific service. Even though I don't see t

But the cost is _definitely_ falling. For a recent example, see DeepSeek V3[1]. It's a model that's competitive with GPT-4, Claude Sonnet. But cost ~$6 Million to train. This is ridiculously cheaper than what we had before. Infere

I'll try to give some constructive criticism instead of a drive by pot shot. I'm sorry, it's just that the leading commas make my eyes bleed and I really hope the industry moves away from it. On point 3: What I do is use CTEs

Yeah, unfortunately you're right that they are real conventions. Quite common too. I also _understand_ why they exist. It's simple: It makes code marginally easier to write. But writing confusing, unintuitive and honestly plain ug

The "readability" section has 3 examples. The first 2 are literally sacrificing readability so it's easier to write, and the last has an unreadable abomination that indenting is really not doing much.

You're on a boat with a hole in the bottom. The water is rushing in. You grab a bucket and keep scooping water out, but not as fast as it rushes in. Throwing water out of boats do not make it more buoyant.

The optimal time to call an election is when public support is highest. If you expect it to go up, you wait. If you think it will go down, call it today.

NVIDIA is so damn good at its job that it took over the market. There's no regulatory or similar barriers to entry. It's literally that they do a damn good job and the competition can't be as good. You look at that and want t
