Feels like we're like a year away from local LLMs that can debug code reliably (via being hooked into console error output as well) which will be quite the exciting day.

Lots of people get tired of their career as decades past. Just expressing positive sentiment that he's at it still.

It's inspirational to me that norvig still does these things. That he gets joy out of it so late in life, that he's still more than mentally adept at it, etc. Makes me feel like pursuing programming as a craft for life is a worthwhile option.

This person has an incredible work ethic

This blog is a real gem.

Anthropic is awesome

Flame thread ahead..

ML is such a beautiful and perfect setup for dependency free execution too. It should just be like downloading a mathematical function. I'm glad we're finally embracing that.

Awesome that they implemented CLIP as well. That alone could be cool to extract and compile as a wasm implementation.

Edit: Seems like someone already has https://github.com/monatis/clip.cpp :) Now to wasmify it

What are people even doing with fine tuned LLMs? I can never think of something that it can't do natively or that I have enough data for to be able to fine tune a task for. Just curious

People like to say that people just have 'bullshit jobs' nowdays and I somewhat agree but this made me feel like there's actually a lot of work being done and progress being made.

Maybe in ML ops but researchers are very PhD dense.

Devils advocate but not sure how not allowing reusing mechanics leads to killing off novelty. If anything not allowing resuing mechanics should lead to developers being forced to invent new non cookie cutter mechanics to get around the patent.

I think the pixel art was a bit much in this article but I'm not against them in general as filler in blog posts. I think a good rule is to just toy around with prompts a lot in general and then if you happen to find an image that really stand out as nice looking alone (as a cool piece without any text) then that's what I'd consider adding somewhere in a future text. But not like "ok I have an article, now I need 5 images to go with it let's quickly pick the 5 first ones I get from a simple prompt". Just my perspective and take on the matter. :)

I believe you that this article wasn't written by generative AI. I'm not really accusing you of either. I'm just saying that the conditional probability that an article is AI written given that the images are AI generative is much higher than if it doesn't have those (mostly since on average such authors have likely played with both if they've played with one of them).

You can just smell that this is a book ad from the title

Imagine how many 4090s you could buy and run in a cluster for $15,000 though

The probability that the article itself is written by GPT-4 becomes so much greater if that's the case too.

Generative AI has come a long way but it's still so clear that these illustrations are not hand made.

Their mouths must be watering at this thought but the legal repercussions are obviously company destroying

54 sounds so little, I assumed way more VC backed companies were failing per year than that.

People with <hardscience> in their bio have always been cooler

Getting a chinese captcha lol

Would that be legal, considering they have a patent (pending) for it? Not denying it won't appear anyway just curious

That must have been like 12 years ago or more at least because in my career I don't have much memory of feeling betrayed by the information on their site.

This kinda illustrates how dead easy it would be for google to improve their search engine. There's no way they couldn't figure out a similar list as this and just re-rank things to down prioritize these sites.

I guess it depends on amount of talent as well. Lots of people are stuck in low end jobs while the demand for high skilled labor is also high. Maybe some argument is that if low skilled workers can do high skilled labor with the help of intelligence augmenting machines that demand can be met finally.

You go ahead and fight if there's even a way to. I'm too tired to.

> it’s like a dash cam for my head

Basically the reason I wouldn't want to be friends and hang out with anyone wearing them.

Since I'm personally gonna die anyway whether this is a thing or isn't a thing, then honestly at this point I've just decided to not care and live my life as happily as possible with the time left (maybe humanity deserves it if it doesn't have the evolutionary makeup to make it out of this, I'm sure there's other species on other planets that will).
