alightsoul··on Researchers can reconstruct what you're looking at from a brain scan
Yet another double edged sword like LLMs. It would make a great brain computer interface and would let you communicate telepathically, and also be used by people who don't trust you like toxic workplaces and court proceedings

Yes I know this is not exactly the subject of the article but brain scanning which is how this was done could be used for those things too.

alightsoul··on Clef: Open-weight decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
Yeah that's a decision tree, random Forest or some other machine learning classifier. They have existed for a long time
alightsoul··on Context Language Models
Yeah maybe a second model can do the actual management
alightsoul··on Context Language Models
Maybe have A second model do the management?
alightsoul··on OpenDLSS: A Vulkan Reimplementation of Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering Network
Please please please publish those things somewhere, so that no one has to reinvent the wheel even with an llm
alightsoul··on Gemini 4 Argon
That is not normal. Were you able to use the arch wiki? Omarchy is a version of arch Linux. Omarchy should direct users to the arch wiki for any issues they face
alightsoul··on Gemini 4 Argon
Please tell me you published your findings even as an issue on the llama.cpp GitHub
alightsoul··on A brief history of the Bloomberg terminal
Yeah, but I think they just sell convenience and there are projects on GitHub like openbb that piece together something very similar for much less.
alightsoul··on A brief history of the Bloomberg terminal
It used to be built with qt, now I'm guessing the answer is vanilla JS and CSS. You'd be surprised how fast they are without frameworks like react
alightsoul··on NRC issues first U.S. construction permit for a BWRX-300 small modular reactor
The reactor vessel is technically always factory made, and the containment building (pit?) structures are built as separate prefabricated modules that are just lowered into the containment building, like a prefabricated building is assembled on site
alightsoul··on America.gov
Yeah, same thing happens when you ask a Chinese model what happened at Tiananmen square
alightsoul··on PSSA: A non-transformer language model written from scratch in Rust
Apparently op cares a lot about speed, which is fine, but ML researchers care about correctness first, speed second. And it makes sense, because they are not as resource constrained as OP.
alightsoul··on Show HN: TurboGPT: train 22KiB transformer in 13s
to add it to their resume and "prove" they know how machine learning works
alightsoul··on PS5 Linux lead quits: "a bunch of noobs using LLMs" that "they don't understand"
I am very sure, Claude will be used to make software that is very hard to exploit, which in this case is also anti consumer. Vote with your wallet
alightsoul··on PS5 Relapse Exploit
Is there any reason why we need the ps5 software? Is the processor locked to it? Is there a security microcontroller which needs it?

Edit looks like the answer for both questions is yes

alightsoul··on PS5 Relapse Exploit
Will Linux on the ps5 be back?
alightsoul··on World Labs Is Joining AMD
You can already do this with oh my pi or oh my openagent
alightsoul··on Singer: The Downfall of a Great American Manufacturer
I see. Where I live in central America there are no high quality clothes anymore because they're expensive, so there is nothing to repair.
alightsoul··on Windows 11½
Reminds me of windows rg and microshaft winblows
alightsoul··on Singer: The Downfall of a Great American Manufacturer
Nowadays clothes are cheap enough to be disposable once they become riddled with fungus in the tropics. Since buying a new one is cheap and convenient unlike repairing one and also looks better, no one repairs clothes anymore so sewing machines are now mostly used in factories for mass production of clothing
alightsoul··on Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain
As always, it's countries in the global south that can't get EVs because they are sold locally for twice the price of an ICE car, even when both are made by the Chinese. So hybrids, price wise are a middle ground because they use smaller batteries which are less expensive
alightsoul··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
The thing that makes people think you are against socialism is, this very website, which means towards American exceptionalism rather hard and socialism is the antithesis to that so it's often criticized here and by other right wing places
alightsoul··on In an $80 motel room, a discovery to shed light on the origins of life
That means your ISP is being used by residential proxies
alightsoul··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
It wasn't anti us, it was anti ai company. Maybe because American exceptionalism states that the us can do no harm
alightsoul··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
They have hundreds of machines that use microwaves, turbo molecular pumps like cvd, ion implantation, plasma etching, idk what else? I'd say it's just the sheer density of equipment within. An average fab has 2000 tools aka machines for wafers alone
alightsoul··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
There is a whole niche in semiconductor called abatement which usually involves burning fluorine based gases used for etching, in order to make them less hazardous before releasing them into the environment. They use natural gas for combustion. The chemicals are not liquids anymore just gases because they are easier to control and manipulate with plasma via e.g. dry etching, CVD, ion implant
alightsoul··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
The west does it too in experimental papers. This is not a socialism thing.
alightsoul··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
Maybe aquihire like Nvidia with groq?
alightsoul··on Excel now supports multiple values in a single cell
Their only complaint with Claude has been hallucinations when using it for things like remembering business rules, but that's an easy fix since it has no Access to them and the company is large enough to be different from other companies which causes the hallucinations
alightsoul··on Excel now supports multiple values in a single cell
I work at an airline where Claude is replacing data analysis tools like excel, data visualization tools like power bi, all that's left is dynatrace because it does it all automatically like Claude does. Many bespoke data processing or data analysis tools for non programmers are being replaced by Claude suscriptions, like excel, power bi, spss, tableau, those are the most used I think. No Python data analysis nor big data tools like pandas, numpy, apache superset are being replaced though
