    My guess is that it's because of some vibe-coding stuff! We are using LLMs to write code, validate code and test the code ! What can go wrong ?

    Isn’t it also destroying the internet with low-quality content and affecting content creation in general? Can LLMs still rely on data from the open internet for training?

    I thought it was a parody! Is this really what Apple can do?

    I like that way of thinking. Out of curiosity, what kind of things do you work on that you feel make a positive contribution?

    32GB is the maximum memory configuration for the 14-inch laptop, which isn’t sufficient for running local LLMs. I think a Mac Studio or Mac Mini with higher memory would be more us…

    Ofcourse that is the case, with tariffs the demand for dollar also going down and leads to this !

    Just curious, are there any techniques other than using embeddings, computing cosine similarity, and sorting the results based on that? RRF could be used but again its very simple …

    I believe it's mostly overstated. Pakistan is not economically strong enough to participate in a war, and India is not interested either. However, the Modi government wants to proj…

    I am a bit skeptical about all the announcements. Are companies really investing, or just making announcements? I wish it were the latter!

    Don't know if whoever voted thought this through! We are undoing years of good governance, like Data.gov and this, now!

    Thanks for sharing the article. How exactly are you combining BM25 and fastText? Are you combining the TF-IDF score + embedding distance? What are the weights for each of these?

    I don't know anything about this app, and this is the first time I'm hearing about it. Does this app somehow generate revenue? Is that the reason it took them so long to act? Or is…
