Not to mention they will need to research how to make their models faster and cheaper to run in order to fit some margin within what people are actually willing to pay.

Are there any indications that this will be possible? Consumer hardware will continue getting better but I can't see 512GB RAM in a MacBook Pro any time soon. I'm hoping linear att…

Sure, and OpenAI, Anthropic, Grokkk are totally self-made and profitable.

I find Mistral Medium 3.5 with OpenCode is perfectly fine if you're willing to talk to it in a more fine-grained way about actual code. For me that's fine because even with huge fr…

Yeah same company. Clearly they haven't improved their guardrails in the last couple months. It's never the technology that's the problem, it's the owners and operators who decide …

We should pivot the culture to one that is pro-liberal arts again. These people know how to read and write better than STEMs in general. CS as the only path to programming was alwa…

Some much focus on fine-tuning when it can actively make performance on reasoning and planning benchmarks worse (over a baseline of already worse-than-coin-toss). Why not give us n…

I've never had a problem working https://pgtap.org/ into CI. I know the article title says "integration tests" but when a lot of functionality is done inside PostgreSQL then you ca…

Kind of a tangent but I'm really interested in why statements like: > if you have carbon-based life forms, you will have water and CO2. ..can lead to statements like: > it is just …

How is wealth distribution wrong? It sounds like you are arguing in favour of inequality.

There's a third kind, which is when unscrupulous business managers or politicians use it to make decisions that they would not be capable of auditing for a rationale when otherwise…

$10k is nothing for rich people. Just putting them in debt for it doesn't mean nothing of value was provided. The reverse would be true where poor people could be ruined, unless th…

There is a lot of synthetic content about academic subjects on YT now, and it's very low quality. I used to search for lectures to listen to while walking or driving but now need t…

UK scored a massive own goal and are no longer part of Europe ;)

I've been wondering this myself lately. After using RAG with pgvector for the last few months with temperature 0, it's been pretty great with very little hallucination. The small c…

I thought they already didn't use input data from the API to train; that it was only the consumer-facing ChatGPT product from which they'd use the data for training. It is opt-in f…

Just like NNs did to symbolic AI which is sorely missed to build explainable and ethical systems.

Thank you for saying it!

Search query expansion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_expansion We've done this in NLP and search forever. I guess even SQL query planners and other things that automatically…

I can understand why that framing would be attractive, but there is no real fundamental difference when considering JSONB/HSTORE in PostgreSQL, and now we have things like pgvector…

Even if that were true, LLMs don't give any kind of "handles" on the semantics. You just get what you get and have to hope it is tuned for your domain. This is 100% fine for generi…

Especially if they were hired with remote in their original agreement. Changing the location of work would necessitate some additional consideration and a new agreement.

Haha, much better response than the usual "wake me up when it's replicated in humans" any time there is a mouse study shared.
