Depends what for, I find AI tools best for boilerplate or as a substitute for stackoverflow. For complex logic, even GPT-4 ends up sending me down the garden path more often than not. I got Llama 3 8B down over the weekend and it's alr

Yeah, I've been keeping up miniature painting and modelling for years whilst thousands of miles away from a decent hobby shop. Don't play much, but only ever really been that excited about the models.

The UK is obsessively into exercise. It might be because a trip to the doctors for anything short of a bullet to the head invariably involves being told to exercise more.

I put this on another comment, but I like it so much I'll do it again here. This is fabulous, and pretty much the graph you're looking for: https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-github/

You may appreciate the map of github [0] it's a fantastic piece of work that trended here a while back. [0]: https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-github/

This post got downvoted, but there's a legit point here. I've found whisper's translated speech to text to be pretty decent, certainly compared to the reported quality of this bergamot-tiny used in the OP. FWIW, I like Helins

Yeah, it'll all be about the model. I do a fair bit of machine translation and the Helinski opus models are generally good enough for groking what a text is about. Definitely better than the examples above.

Anecdata: I live in a high-alcohol, high-language barrier environment in which I've got a limited but workable grasp of the local tongue. Getting smashed really does help, I've had great nights drinking with dudes who don't s

Not to hand, but I'm out and about. It should be on their page somewhere. Gregor runs it and is good on the technical stuff.

I work with news data professionally, and have found two broad categories of suppliers: the buyers and the scrapers. Buyers are often a bit old school and frankly far more expensive than it's worth. Also good luck getting a usable, aff

Absolutely. The notion that fierce competition for survival is the state of all things in nature is reductionist at best, and incredibly harmful when applied to the human social world. Take some of the more successful species out there: the

There are lots of high quality answers on the recruitment side here, so I'll focus on the personal. I did a masters in my mid thirties, and it was definitely the best life choice I made that decade. Education, ideally, is about learnin

I love zotero. The combination of annotation, highlights, document management and a healthy plug-in ecosystem are just killer for me. It feels a bit dated sometimes, but I'm yet to find anything that comes close.

I'm European and in a very particular sector, so YMMV, but some thoughts: I do a bunch of interviews, just finished one about an hour ago actually. If you've gotten as far as an interview, great stuff! Most CVs go right in the bin

This may be a good time to give Linux a go as a daily driver, if that's possible. I made the switch a year or so ago, and it's been really refreshing having my laptop not treat me in the way you describe.

Honestly, the outcomes of statistical tests are so correlated that if your question is "is there a relationship between these numbers", it really doesn't matter which test you do. If there's a decent relationship there,

Yeah, embedding are where it's at for text. Most problems are really about clustering or classification, when you like, get down to it, man. Semantic similarity is one hell of a drug.

Absolutely. I've got zero time for the argument that I should be paying one of the world's richest companies rent. Particularly when they're going about it this way. I'm not signing up to their enshitification pathway. G

That's the middle east. I've lived there and read a lot, but can remember very little of the history. Line in the Sand is a good one.

I absolutely love Inherent Vice, both book and film. Really good fun, like The Big Lebowski's edgier cousin.

If you're getting into comics, I can strongly recommend Transmetropolitan, The Invisibles, Saga, and the original Sandman books (there are a tonne of new ones now, and none have really clicked). I'm also part way through Supergods
