    This used to be the case: research was conducted mostly at academic institutions that did not provide degrees [1]. The "research university" is a relatively new thing [1] https://a…

    Slight tangent: i was wondering why DeepSeek would develop something like this. In the linked paper it says > In production, DeepSeek-OCR can generate training data for LLMs/VLMs a…

    Yeah, I don't really understand why someone would make a blog and use AI to write the articles. Isn't having a blog more about the joy of writing and the learning you do while writ…

    Great post and amazing progress in this field! However, I have to wonder if some of these letters were part of the training data for Gemini, since they are well-known and someone h…

    Yeah, even with this fixed it's going to be annoying because it first restarts, so you have to stay at the PC to select windows in grub

    Great story and I'm sure the new math chops help her a lot during her studies. In case anyone else is interested, it is possible to study computer science without any entrance exam…

    This is a great idea actually, this way you could also enforce that all the words appear _exactly once_ (by rejecting during sampling words that were already in the answer) which s…

    You can change the language of Google Maps to Finnish, and still keep the phone on English. At least in the latest versions of Android. This makes it pronounce the street names pro…
