    I'm in the weights quite correctly, nice, but it also seem to hallucinate football players

    Hi! Thanks for the effort! It would be lovely to parse which datasets/benchmarks were used in the comparisons and select papers by dataset! In many fields the datasets vary greatly…

    At least onedrive do not corrupt my powerpoints, while pcloud systematically break them, police change, elements resized randomely. It happens systematically with powerpoints weigh…

    My workplace has named (forcefully) the onedrive folder with around 35 characters. You add to that the path to that folder on the computer that is (forcefully) not on the root of a…

    While I agree with the message, I don't agree on the tools. It's very difficult to define a specification that works as intended, even with tools. Most waterfall software methodolo…

    Thanks, I just tried, for me it worked on 2x L40S with vLLM. I had some issues due to the model name, forge was forwarding 'default' instead of the real model name 'Qwen2.5-Coder-1…

    I was hoping it would work with vLLM (openai compatible) to test it, does anyone know a similar proxy for local coding models?

    Not really, Hardware didn't really change that much, of course you'll not find Tensor or raytracing cores, but you will have a very solid grasp of gpu programming and the cuda lang…

    Having read or at least skimmed most of those books, I think the best intro is 'CUDA Programming: A Developer's Guide to Parallel Computing with GPUs' Massively Parallel Processors…

    95% of the cases are easy for both doctors and AI, where doctors excel are the difficult cases where there is only a very limited amount of training data ;) something AI is not yet…

    I mean... There is a 1-1 mapping, and they look kinda like QR codes. so technically, you can make an app that scan it and it will show you the corresponding polynomial.. It could e…

    It's highly dependent of why you use it. For me a problem looks like 'a step in the proof I'm not familiar with', and I use LLMs to help me undersand it deeply. Make visualizations…

    I would like to see a (joke) skill that makes Claude talk in only toki pona. My guess is that it would explode the token count though.

    Personally, I wrote an essay to my students explaining exactly that the purpose is for them to think better and improve over time, they can use LLMs but, if they stop thinking, the…

    At the same time, if you remove 'engineer' , informatics should fall under the faculty of Science, so scientists, which are even more rigorous than engineers ;) Maybe software tink…

    LLMs make too many mistakes when summarizing papers in their current state, I would never trust it to summarize a whole paper at the moment. I only use it on a sentence or paragrap…

    Sometimes you don't need a collaborator if you have the idea. If the other party is not at all working on the angle that you're interested in, it's probably not the correct collabo…

    I'm a little annoyed that 'modern AI' refers here only on LLMs, modern AI is way bigger than that. Having said that, it's probably a good course, CMU courses are often great. I was…

    Very nice project, I see many use cases. However, I use Manim for maths, for me having computational libraries (python) is a requirement. Most of the transformations that I do are …

    I really loved 'Track Down' (2000), if you want to try. The film depict maybe more 1980-1990 though

    I think we agree in general, I don't disagree that maybe Proton therapy is not better than radiotherapy, it might but we lack some evidence. I only argue that if they are equal in …

    In Europe at least, many insurances cover it if you have the right criterias. From my visits, they mostly focus on children that have some very nasty cancers, the IBA hospitals are…

    As a non expert, I can't pronounce myself on the subject, I found this recent study: https://www.mdanderson.org/newsroom/research-newsroom/proton... But on the subject of discoveri…
