I was quite inspired by jev-like and built jev compatible layer built on top of gemma. on my local benchmarks and my personal problems gemma works very well. but training a new attention head for better results in narrow domains should be m

I've taken a few law classes and legal law is frustratingly hard to interpret. I shudder to think what the LLM would end up doing to "follow all relevant laws" look these up for a fascinating weekend read: - Beavers and Capyb

this was me in 2015 in India. only because the inspector wouldn't see anything other than a 500 rupees note.

I'm sure these things are in the plans from upper management. we'll know when the next layoffs hit.

not sure why you're getting downvoted. but if you're building even very popular applications, it is quite easy to see how LLMs are very well suited for this type of consistency job. - they follow instructions quite well. - are tir

> you will likely put mathematicians out of jobs. why is that a concern in this context? would you have asked the same about steam engines and horses? this is a really cool concept, organized very well. and that is very commendable.

i 100% agree with your sentiment. but what is the replacement here? go without any insurance or salary? without providing an alternative for better life, this is basically just robbing someone off a livelihood

not an unfair comparison but i think it's the wrong model. you were always able to buy time by hiring people to do things for you. right now it's agents. i think it's an equalizer in that, $200 agent is more accessible than a

I agree with you. but I find meat and the associated horrors that come with it, to be no more or less repugnant than the broader society and industrial complex that I'm forced to be a part of. I suppose, I personally could contribute t

not as crazy a config, but I got a 128GB M5max the day before the price increase for $2K less. still proud of the call to buy it.

cows might be more in some dimensions like emotion because cattle raise their young unlike octopus which doesn't . does that make the equation any easier to accept? why is this a controversial idea? mammals indeed are smarter than moll

modern cow, goat etc. are selectively bred to produce more milk than their youngling needs. so separation is not a strict requirement ( you might lose 5 - 10% more if you just let them be.) But when we used to own cows & goats, it was v

this is a super non-popular take on HN. but the entry-level job market has always been tough. with AI, outside the big tech world, it is hard to justify hiring entry level engineers as the time to train them ( 1 year+ ) to be productive eno

it was an example of a correlation != causation the parent comment was basically creating a causational logic for why vegetarians are more likely to be "smart"-er. which is not true.

I didn't suggest sourcing a non-meat diet. I'm suggesting the opposite. by design eating meat is morally questionable. (as do so many things with our modern society.) all meat is fair game, because all animal dependent diet is que

eating any meat is morally questionable. (I say this as a person who does eat a lot of meat). octopus passing a intelligence test does not keep it above the fold, neither does cattle go below the fold because they don't clear the bar (
