It sure is! But ironically, because of the intention behind the obfuscation. Not the fact that AI was used in a research paper. I have no issues with AI use in science. If claude c…

It has applications outside of machine learning too! I used symmetric Kullback–Leibler divergence for a project with photon number resolving single photon detectors during my PhD. …

Glad to see there's a REV 3 in progress that would support ethernet. That's the one thing that would make me go out of my way to build one of these.

When I read "The honest truth: ...", the AI-generated alarm bells go off in my head. Whether the article is human written or not.

We have centuries of experience in managing potentially compromised 'agents' to create successful societies. Except the agents were human, and I'm referring to debates, tribunals, …

I don’t see why this would be the case with proper tool calling and context management. If you tell a model with blank context ‘you are an extremely rigorous reviewer searching for…

I admit it has dystopian elements. It’s worth deciding what specifically is scary though. The potential fallibility or mistakes of the models? Check back in a few months. The fact …

Seriously. More people need to wake up to this. Older generations can keep arguing over display formats if they want. Meanwhile younger undergrad and grad students are getting more…

I remember 15 years ago when I was in highschool I really wanted to learn how to program 8 bit microcontrollers without Arduino. And everybody looked at me like I was crazy. There …

There's a great value proposition for a company like Private Internet Access or NordVPN to create an AI browser extension or full-on browser. Anonymize requests and provide various…

I haven't used LLM chrome plugins because I couldn't trust that they weren't collecting more information about my browsing than I'd like. The same concern exists for this, though n…

If you're passionate about it, then go for it! Though be aware that several others have tried similar things: - https://www.befreed.ai/knowledge-visualizer - https://kodisc.com/ - …

I remember listening to a podcast where Grant Sanderson basically said the opposite. He tried generating manim code with LLMs and found the results unimpressive. Probably just goes…

There's a weird insecurity I've noticed cropping up. I want to design the codebase 'my way'. I want to decide on the fundamental data structures. But there's this worry that my pre…

I wonder if there's a way to do diffusion within some sort of schema-defined or type constrained space. A lot of people these days are asking for structured output from LLMs so tha…

Cameras capture linear brightness data, proportional to the number of photons that hit each pixel. Human eyes (film cameras too) basically process the logarithm of brightness data.…

An excellent video. I've admired Yedlin's past work in debunking the need for film cameras over digital when you're going after a 'film look' I wish he shared his code though. Part…

I find it funny that the AI 2027 thing got a non-vanishing fraction of Hackernews folk to wonder if humans would be fully eradicated from Earth in 5 years (I was influenced too!) A…

Curious to her other people's opinion of this. I arrived at a similar conclusion after making web apps for research control software in my PhD. I went through a Yjs tutorial and lo…

It would be great to semantically search through literature with embeddings. At least one person I know if is trying to generate a vector database of all arxiv papers. The big prob…

I think about the reviewer problem. An AI can write 3000 lines in less than a minute. But it might take me an hour to understand the architecture it's decided on. There's a couple …

It will be interesting to see in what fields it's worth the effort to curate you're data to a high enough standard that you get all the benefits of the ai agent. I'm currently work…

Yep, it's funny how one of the key factors that limits LLM usage is just the typing speed of users. I agree that the amount of bespoke UI that needs to exist probably won't stagnat…

If anyone has trouble focusing on personal projects at home, I've found Focusmate (www.focusmate.com) to be very handy. You hop on a scheduled google-meets style video call with so…

Svelte 5 has been very nice to work with over the past few months. Yes, runes require you to think more carefully about lifecycles and updates. And you may end up writing a little …
