    Why not use both? I just built a pipeline for document data extraction that uses PaddleOCR, then Gemini 3 to check + fix errors. It gets close to 99.9% on extraction from financial…

    The cheap easy take: it's tragically ironic that the software running the infrastructure in Silicon Valley is such a problem

    So this could universally decrease the memory requirements by un-quantitized LLMs by 30%? Seems big if true.

    This paper is basically statistical mechanics with a quantum veneer. Two major issues: 1. Scale: They're simulating just 13 qubits with QuTiP and making grand claims about quantum …

    It was funny to hear the same guy warning LMMs were getting too powerful now talking about the limits of available original training data.

    My jaw drop to see algorhythmic complexity laid out so clearly in a 3d space like that. I wish I was smart enough to know if it's accurate or not.

    This seems like a big step forward in terms of running specific use-case trained inference locally, right? At least given current hardware generally deployed in business.
