    But the LLMs are also not one-shotting it, or are they? I assume they have some ways to verify it, e.g. to visualize it (convert to PNG, then feed as vision tokens back to the LLM)…

    "Why is terminal usage more widespread than ever?" - I guess because of AI agents?

    Small self-advertisement: as an alternative to dissect.cstruct, a fun side-project of mine (C parser + C interpreter in Python) can do a very similar thing: https://github.com/albe…

    I think the simulation in Cities Skylines is also quite advanced, or not? The simulation is much more the reason why it requires powerful hardware to run on, much less the graphics…

    More information about DwarfStar 4 (DS4) in the readme: https://github.com/antirez/ds4 The code seems based on llama.cpp and GGML. I don't fully understand why it is a standalone p…

    Why not just getting the changes/extensions upstream, welcome the Mac dev on the team, and make it an official port?

    But these are not errors. These are just warnings you can ignore? It's not really so critical?

    I'm curious: In the current moon flyby, how often did some of these fallback methods get active? Was the BFS ever in control at any point? How many bitflips were there during the f…

    73°C is a bit unusual cold for a Finnish sauna. Wikipedia says: > The temperature in Finnish saunas is 80 to 110 °C (176 to 230 °F), usually 80–90 °C (176–194 °F) And with that tem…

    Is that real-time or sped up? This video is about 1 minute. How much real time does it correspond to?

    I wonder a bit about that. What activities or possibilities are you exposed at during that age. I know many computer science colleagues who were not exposed to programming during t…

    v0: 16M Parameters v0.5 123M Parameters v1: 700M Parameters v2mini-eval1: 300M Parameters I would not call this LLM. This is not large. It's just a normal-sized LM. Or even small. …

    Very nice! This is released under GPL. I wonder, who is K1n9_Duk3? Does he have the rights to actually release this, and put it under GPL? What does "reconstructed" mean? Is this d…

    I think the point is that for most things, you don't need to call any external tools. Python's standard library comes already with lots of features, and there are many packages you…

    The first linked article was recently discussed here: RIP pthread_cancel ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45233713 ) In that discussion, most of the same points as in this ar…

    This idea is often used for self-supervised learning (SSL). E.g. see DINO ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.14294 ).

    The random noise is added to the model parameters, not the inputs, or not? This reminds me of variational noise ( https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~graves/nips_2011.pdf ). If it is rando…

    I wonder, what LeCun wants to do is more fundamental research, i.e. where the timeline to being useful is much longer, maybe 5-10 years at least, and also much more uncertain. How …

    It reminds me also of the 24 FPS discussion, which is still the standard as far as I know for cinema, even though 48 or 60 FPS are pretty standard for series, The 24 FPS give it a …
