Llama2:7b makes the same mistakes. It's not until you use something like Mixtral or Llama2:13b that it actually gets the correct results (in my one example). Interestingly Llama2:13b objects that there is no discount until I clarify: &

It might be equivalent to LLaMA2 but it's still not capable of even simple reasoning: > If two apples cost 2 dollars and 1 apple costs 1.20, what is the discount you're getting > To calculate the discount, you need to compar

I disagree, having used Sweep extensively, I've found the GitHub Issue -> PR flow to be incredibly clunky with a lack of ability to see what is happening and what has gone wrong.

What you want here is a local uncensored model. Preferrably one you've trained from scratch otherwise a government could have put in bad information that would cause your revolutionary efforts to fail.

People (SWEs) don't want to hear this. I think it's an inevitability that something of this nature will happen.

Conservatively, I think LLMs will replace SWE roles within the next 5-10 years. In that period SWE roles will change drastically, to be more hearding of AI agents. We can't hope to compete with something that can edit all the files in

I fell down reading about all the ships that have hit bridges, and this is probably the most practical solution for a lot of scenarios.

This seems fairly focused on safety, and less on the working in the title. But working from Hotels is definitely a pain. They almost always have worse wifi than an AirBnB. It varies whether they have a good seat, table that you can work at

I've had some very close relationships with C levels at some big and medium companies. I've caught them lying in varying degrees more than once. Sometimes though the job demands it. They're potentially not allowed to disclose

I'm curious what subset of tech you're applying for, and what your region and salary expectation are. Speaking as someone with 20+ YOE experience myself.

Why do you want to be a <insert job you're passionate about>, just do it as a hobby spend ~8 hours a day doing something you hate.

There is only so much you can do though if the other people aren't prepared to learn how to use a password safe (etc).

It's probably some combination of both. There is a subset that can be reformed and made bad decisions, and there is a subset that are beyond help and just need to be kept from further damaging society. (fwiw: I'm very much in the

I use Devyce[0] which has a UK phone number. Works for all the 2FA codes I've ever needed. Can port your existing UK number as well. They've been my provider for 3 or so years now without any problems. Runs fine on top of Airalo w

Admittedly, I'm not a huge user of mobile web (I'm not an iPhone user either, I'm still using a Pixel 4a). However, I am absolutely not going to defend extremely heavy javascript content either. There needs to be a balance, a

I think that's the point, they released GPT2 openly, but as soon as they had something commercially viable they became ClosedAI.

It's really easy to tell the difference between a democracy and a fake democracy. Democracies are messy, people never agree. Anywhere that get's consistent landslides for one person or party is not a democracy. Take for example Fr

So many flaws with this article, hard to know where to start. So many unsubstantiated arguments. It jumps from React devs not knowing meta tags and links, to oddly hyping WordPress and trying to sideline actual solutions like Next and Svelt

Glass half empty then. Most vector databases are using some local or external provider to get the embeddings and then using some storage engine to store and retreive the embeddings. Whether it's pgvector leaning on postgresql, or chrom

That's a slippery slope argument, which is a common logical fallacy[0]. This model being inefficient compared to the best possible implementation does not mean that future additions will also be inefficient. It's the equivalent to
