When commenting, please assume good faith (in other commenters and maintainers). This is the third thread I've read on HN about the subject and I've sadly seen a lot of closeminded…

This is very cool, one piece of feedback: watching the table as the AI plays while seeing the reasoning is difficult as they're on other sides of the screen. It could be nice to ha…

Even if AI tools (e.g. search or summarization) aren't perfect, neither are our current manual methods. Right now I feel there's a strong negative sentiment towards mistakes made b…

There's a difference between guaranteed privacy and certifiable privacy. Yes, the government can request one's data. However, Apple's system would reveal those intrusions to the pu…

I second Kickstart! The single-file and comments make it easy to learn and configure yourself.

Agreed. If it was "RLHF a LLM in <50 lines" I feel it would be clear, but "lines of Python" implies something different.

I do something similar for my notes, but instead converting to HTML! (e.g. https://cswartout.com/notes/cse422.html ) I keep my notes as markdown in a repo, then "build" them onto a…

There's two main ways to "add documents to LLMs" - using documents in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and training/finetuning models. I believe you can use RAG with Ollama, ho…

Agreed - the rebuttal comment you got had the example of "having to deal with MAGA people bitching about your existence as a Mexican migrant". Russia has been is conducting influen…

We shouldn't reduce or avoid removing any of the struggles you've brought up - those are real and we need to remove them. With that being said, most of what OP said is true: Americ…

One of the big things to note is that Sparky plays very basic decks, with few complicated cards and combos. Rules-based AI could definitely play at a basic level using a beatdown s…

Here's a paper on creating a Turing machine in Magic: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828

My good-faith interpretation of your comment is: "Maybe learn to code (without external resources or tools)?" LLMs are another tool and resource, just like StackOverflow, linters, …

Is there any proof or source of this?

Seems to be a one-off thing: https://chat.openai.com/share/0936d340-79b6-44f3-933c-c30dff...

Microsoft had no prior knowledge: https://www.axios.com/2023/11/17/microsoft-openai-sam-altman...

How many times does it run inference per screenshot? Looks cool!

Most companies work in areas where the most money is, most software engineers work for those companies.

Is this legit? It seems weird to me that this paper has one author, from a deep-learning startup which I've never heard of before.

Anybody know what the insistence regarding lyrics and recipes is for? > EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Do NOT be thorough in the case of lyrics or recipes found online. Even if the user insi…

I really enjoy the use of pixel art to convey some message, this and the LLM agent simulation[1] are great examples. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35517649

I think that it could be more accurate with an even more limited amount of words by omitting "Science": Computer[s] from the Bottom Up

It does remind me of a project [1] Andrej Karpathy did, writing a neural network and training code in ~600 lines (although networks have easier logic to code than a compiler). [1] …

It depends on the number of parameters you're going for - a billion parameters is going to be out of reach from scratch, but you could train some in the millions.
