nicognaw··on Jike: The obscure social media app beloved by China's tech scene
Users in these kind of platforms usually do welcome English posts according to some experience with Xiaohongshu, but registering an account from outside is challenging.
nicognaw··on Run llama3 locally with 1M token context
If you got random tokens on Apple Silicon Macs, you should check your stderr for Metal’s error code, like 5 for out of metal memory. Metal lets you use half of your unified memory as metal memory.
nicognaw··on Intro to Large Language Models [Video]
Andrej made the micrograd video after the code was released a couple years later. As someone who takes learning neural networks as a hobby, I really want to see him make videos about the llama.c project.
nicognaw··on Major outages across ChatGPT and API
Azure OpenAI
nicognaw··on Clash, a tool to break China's Great Fire Wall, is Deleted in GitHub
As learned by the community, they leaked their personal information from emails used in git commits
nicognaw··on GPT-4 Update: 32K Context Window Now for All Users
+1, the OpenAI official playground & the new fine-tuning UI are really useful stuff, but surprising enough, I don't find open source versions.
nicognaw··on New: LangChain templates – fastest way to build a production-ready LLM app
Why would I use drag-and-drop UIs to replace one of my favorite things, coding, when I use infrastructure as code stuff to replace a cloud console panel, FastAPI to generate OpenAPI documents, and even D2-lang to draw graphical diagrams?
nicognaw··on Hysteria: a powerful, fast and censorship resistant proxy
In some US states where TikTok is banned, this can be used to access it.
nicognaw··on Jina AI launches open-source 8k text embedding
Jina AI itself is also a great framework to expose APIs from deep neural net models and deploy them to Kubernetes clusters, which I think is very promising, but they didn't get as much hype as I predicted that they deserved.
nicognaw··on OpenTelemetry at Scale: Using Kafka to handle bursty traffic
Signoz is too good at SEO.

Early days, I looked up otel and observability stuff, and I always saw Signoz articles on the first screen.

TL;DR: Cheap GPU cloud with alpaca-LoRA
nicognaw··on Ask HN: Which React framework for a new project?
Maybe a bit extreme, but I am going to use Remix and only Remix for my new side projects.
nicognaw··on AI powered realtime fluid simulations are here
I'm actually very excited to see AI applied in games in ways other than AI agents.
nicognaw··on Show HN: Atmos – Everything you need to create color palettes
As a developer, I'd like a tool to help me design the color scheme for my IDE, and I'm curious if this one can do that.
nicognaw··on Generative AI is good at cooperating with people and bad at full automation
Prompt engineering, in my opinion, could be considered "semantic programming."
nicognaw··on Generative AI is good at cooperating with people and bad at full automation
Since LLMs generate words one by one, you can only determine whether the next word has a high probability. Some ideas occurred to me earlier, like applying prompt engineering to evaluate if the model is confident about the contents to be generated.

Like "Please reply T if you are confident about the text that you are going to generate, and F if you are not".

But if this could be done by architecting the neural networks, they would perform much better.

nicognaw··on LLMs and GPT: Some of my favorite learning materials
I'm learning the basics of transformer from Andrew Ng's courses, your post seems to make me learn it faster. Thanks!
nicognaw··on ChatGPT can in fact ask you questions
Why not? The actual work that language models do is to complete the conversation. It doesn’t actually answer questions, it just tries to make the text look real.
