Over the past two years, I have also seen many similar stories where the majority of users were unable to recognize that these stories were AI-generated. I fear for the future of democracy if the masses are so easily deceived. Does anyone h

I agree with your examples, but is there anything new that Mojo brings to the table that could not be achieved with a Python library?

I have learned a lot from other programming languages, but developing a new programming language and building an ecosystem around it is a huge amount of work. In the case of the Mojo programming language, it would have been more beneficial

Learning new languages did change how I think about programming. For example, Clojure's immutability and functional nature had a strong influence on how I write my (mostly Python) code these days. I learned how to write efficient cod

When I was young, I enjoyed messing around with new languages, but as time went on, I realized that there is really very little to be gained through new languages that can not be obtained through a new library, without the massive downside

I have been testing it since yesterday in VS Code and it seemed fine so far. But I am also happy with all the GPT-4 variants, so YMMV.

What makes it so that this kind of precision is required? I have little knowledge of the physics behind it, but a few decades ago, a local university had an open day where they bounced lasers off of a retro reflector on the moon to measure

With mediocre documentation, NVIDIAs closed-source libraries, such as cuBLAS and cuDNN, will remain the fastest way to perform certain tasks, thereby strengthening vendor lock-in. And of course it makes it more difficult for other companies

As far as I am aware, the "hanging" issue remains unsolved to this day. The underlying problem is that LLMs sometimes get stuck in a loop where they repeat the same text again and again until they reach the token limit. You can br

Yes, but the odds of getting GPT-OSS to respond with that riddle are pretty low and it is not necessary to demonstrate whether the LLM can answer the riddle correctly.

FWIW, I asked gpt-oss-120b this question 10 times and the answer was always "sauce", "sane" or "sale". I also tried different temperatures (from 0 to 1), which did not seem to have an effect on the correctness

OpenRouter rankings conflate many factors like output quality, popularity, price and legal concerns. They can not tell us whether a model is popular because it is genuinely good, or because many people have heard about it, or because it is

A human would likely have refactored the two collision checks between bullet/enemy and enemyBullet/player in the JavaScript code into its own function, perhaps something like "areRectanglesOverlapping". The C++ code only

I think LLMs are adapting higher level concepts. For example, the following JavaScript code generated by GLM ( https://github.com/simonw/tools/blob/9e04fd9895fae1aa9ac78b8... ) is clearly inspired by this C++ c

That might work for the current generation of bots, but it will become infeasible when the domain names are generated in such a way that they overlap with spellable and existing domain names.

Wow, that's smart. I was wondering whether there is a way for the bots to generate "unpredictable" domains such that security researchers could not predict them efficiently (even with source code), but the botnet controller c

What the parent poster means is that you can use the API to generate many question/answer pairs on which you then train your own model. For a more detailed explanation of this and other related methods, I can recommend this paper: htt

An AI does not have much to gain by replicating itself beyond a few backups for increased resilience. It makes more sense to combine all compute to power one big AI instead of spawning many small AIs.

Testing PCIe bandwidth with a model that fits entirely into VRAM (quantized Phi-3 Mini at 2.39 GB on RTX 5090 with 32GB VRAM) is stupid because there won't be any memory transfer over PCIe beyond the initial model load. They should hav

Another reason to ditch email-to-login: It decreases active user count because login is such a chore. I only use those websites if I absolutely have to and there are no alternatives.
