the 1.5 and 2.0 flash models were absolute beasts. They were very cheap, and _very_ fast. We contemplated moving some of our fine tuned workloads to them because we would have gott…

very cool! not sure if something is broken, but there seems to be no data past 2019 on any of the queries that i can see

As a Canadian I see little reason for optimism

Yeah, I have been seeing lots of comments, tweets, etc, but given everything I have learned about these models - i do not think the change to 1M was innocuous. I'm not sure what th…

i feel like i misunderstand the UI - it seems to show coalition strikes mostly being intercepted? or does the bottom row refer to strikes against coalition forces?

The reflexive and moralistic anti-AI takes are starting to get more annoying than the actual AI slop

the stacked changes support, for me, was an absolute game changer. the auto rebasing, etc, is -really- nice. i found it especially useful for Gitops type stuff where you have to ma…

The iPhones autocorrect is one of my biggest frustrations coming from Android a few years ago. The biggest frustration for me is the tendency to correct the _second to last word_. …

awesome! i was just looking at a bucket full of parquet files from last year trying to recall some things about them. i tried to install with brew, but it told me my cli tools were…

thanks! glad to know its getting fixed. if i have any notes ill send them your way!

Cool app! I think I found a broken problem (or it’s worded strangely?) and I’m unable to progress beyond it “Pick 2 that beat villain on board” “QQ552” In submitting Queen and 2 to…

There is a podcast, Memory Hole, about the recovered memory movement. There is a lengthy section about this book and the people behind it (not positive)

Plugging ourselves, Lumen5 based out of Vancouver. I was one of the first hires found trough the HN hiring thread many moons ago. https://lumen5.com/

This is happening everywhere where I live (Vancouver)

I think it should fairly clear why I'm curious, as the article mentions > Although it’s typically not viewed as a partisan board, the Biden administration had installed the entire …

yeah, I see that. Apparently ACIP is very much not new. I am curious to the specifics of the prevous mass appointment, however.

Was this a new committee? there is a quote about this being a coup, but it is also noted that the previous administration selected the entire existing committee

It's an open secret that most nutrition research is of extremely low quality - almost all relying on decades old self reported nutritional questionnaires. Sometimes dozens of these…

They definitely have to be trained to reinforce longer outputs, but I do not believe this adequately explains the low-ish generation limits. We are starting to see models with long…

Chunked prefill or some similar technique is also necessary for serving long context requests where there is not enough GPU memory available, regardless of concerns about latency. …

When doing inference for an LLM, there are two stages. The first phase is referred to as "prefill", where the input is processed to create the KV Cache. After that phase, the "deco…

In my experience, mostly using LoRA finetunes with OpenAI, it is important to include a/the prompt in your fine tuning dataset. It is _also_ important to include that prompt at inf…

which essay is that? having trouble finding it

Wow, I have exactly the same side project in progress, minus the fine tuning part. We even chose the same names and phrasing for parts of the project.
