    We didn't have the compute required (GPUs powerful enough to parallelize forward and backward pass). This compute is what allows us to train from human knowledge or distillation.

    The heat pump will pull heat from inside the house? This sounds terrible for efficiency in winter, as you will need to reheat the room

    Yeah this sounds disingenuous. I can also see my heater to 70C if I want, that does not increase its size...

    I don't understand all the hype for generating SVG with LLM. The task is not really useful, doesn't seem that interesting in single shot as it's really hard, and no human could do …

    I'd say that thoughts and reasoning are two different things, you're moving the goalpost. But what makes the computer hardware fundamentally incompatible with thinking? Compared to…

    Arc browser unifies the tabs and bookmarks in a very clever way.

    I'm wondering if you can prompt it to work like this - make minimal changes, and run the tests at each step to make sure the code is still working

    If it's chromium based, they will need to remove manifest v2 at some point to stay close to the upstream version.

    You can offload tensors to the cpu memory. It will make your model run much slower but it will work

    What do you mean? Async/await uses threads

    Multi-step reasoning means that the LLM is giving a question (maths here), and generating an answer that consists of many intermediate words, before returning the solution. Here, w…

    Those are tree search techniques, they are not metrics to assess the "human" complexity of a line. They could be used for this purpose but out of the box they just give you winning…

    I'm wondering why there isn't a cheapest alternative to the pi without those features that most find useless. Or a more powerful for the same price

    It's possible, the question is how to choose which submodel will be used for a given query. You can use a specific LLM, or a general larger LLM to do this routing. Also, some work …
