    Wonderful, a nice meeting place between modern and classical art. Arguably one of the most alluring features of classical art is the complexity and intricacy of detail.

    Certainly an important discovery for utilizing these models on scaled hardware. This approach could certainly be applied beyond LLMs to other types of neural networks. That would b…

    Strangely enough, I work with AI models as a programmer and do not use any AI tools to code. The creation of "cognitive debt" as AI researchers describe it means that crucial compo…

    Absolutely fascinating. Detecting ripples in the fabric of space and time? The NSF is still producing Nobel worthy discoveries. I've been working on a Deep Convolutional Generative…

    Something interesting about the American Revolutionary War is that the popular force raised from the population were not only able to overcome the most powerful international milit…

    Nuclear weapons can be repurposed for nuclear energy. Maybe, just maybe, one beautiful day we will live in a world where there are no nuclear weapons nor need for them. These weapo…

    Especially when you consider that similar studies conclude that caffeine has an overall positive effect on brain function when consumed at 200mg per sitting and 400mg per day. http…

    Love it, made me smile. The "warmth" of all this old tech is nostalgic, all the little human touches lost to history. The little bits of heart and soul that shaped the details of o…

    I loved tinkering with Flash as a kid in the early 2000s. I taught myself programming through ActionScript and wrote a little physics engine that modeled 2D physics using loops, co…

    The human ability to design computer programs through abstractions and solve creative problems like these is arguably more important than being able to crank out lines of code that…

    As a pure dictionary of knowledge gathering symptoms and performing diagnoses it should be obvious that LLMs can do this more efficiently. As for everything else, as pointed out, t…

    It does, actually, as the syntax is a result of the language's design and a simpler and more human-like syntax requires a higher level of abstraction that reduces efficiency. The d…

    That's really it. These tools are useful as assistants to programmers but do not replace an actual programmer. The right course is to embrace the technology moderately rather than …
