    My justification for stating that is that we're seeing people come back to Bluesky whereas people would try to create an account on a Mastodon service, their first post would be co…

    Given the amount of people blindly trusting the output, I think that a case could be made that guardrails are a necessity for LLMs. The example in the article is medical diagnostic…

    Favourite time of the year! I am, however, continually surprised that SLY doesn’t have more mindshare. Similarly jonathan. I guess cl-json and SLIME are _good enough_ for most peop…

    There are some pretty impressive benchmarks on https://ai.google.dev/gemma . Even the 2b model looks fairly not awful? I guess my weekend is going to be spent exploring this.

    Children in the UK are born without parents, so it's a valid point by OP.

    Labour are Tory-lite. They are unable to win an election otherwise (or so they believe).

    We've been experimenting with LLMs to create price predictions and stock analysis for day trading, and I really haven't been impressed with Bard at all. People in the comments are …

    The old joke about lisp ruining all other languages holds true (at least in my experience), so it's a monkeys paw wish of yes, you get to work with lisp but you'll never be able to…

    Guix is in a really good place right now and I'd have no reservations recommending it. Of course, there is the initial onboarding experience which can be tough if it's a completely…
