toisanji··on Gemma 3 Technical Report [pdf]
How do the gemma and gemini collaborate and share information?
toisanji··on The Differences Between Deep Research, Deep Research, and Deep Research
what is the best open source system to use?
toisanji··on Show HN: Sonauto API – Generative music for developers
how is this better or different from suno besides api? I'm assuming since you are smaller the quality is not as good and the depth not as wide.
toisanji··on FFmpeg School of Assembly Language
Just wondering, would it make sense to use LLMs to translate higher level languages to assembly or to directly write in assembly?
toisanji··on Show HN: FlashSpace – fast, open-source, macOS Spaces replacement
same reason I would like this feature
toisanji··on The impact of competition and DeepSeek on Nvidia
I want the NVIDIA monopoly to end, but there is no real competition still. * George Hotz has basically given up on AMD: https://x.com/__tinygrad__/status/1770151484363354195

* Groq can't produce more hardware past their "demo". It seems like they haven't grown capacity in the years since they announced, and they switched to a complete SaaS model and don't even sell hardware anymore.

* I dont know enough about MLX, Triton, and JAX,

toisanji··on Trying out Zed after more than a decade of Vim/Neovim
I use cursor and vim now. I have been on vim for 15+ years. Are there LLM extensions that make vim work like all these new AI editors? I would prefer to stay in 100% vim world, but the productivity benefits from LLMs with composer mode and context is so powerful.
toisanji··on NeuralSVG: An Implicit Representation for Text-to-Vector Generation
This is a group applying vector generation to animations: https://www.youtube.com/@studyturtlehq The graphic fidelity has been slowly improving over time.
toisanji··on I send myself automated emails to practice Dutch
this is similar except for learning Chinese and it publishes videos to youtube and they have simulations generated in the videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R3zudq9v8M
toisanji··on GitHub Copilot is now available for free
I have been using Cursor, but I am a vim user at heart. What is the best plugin I can use that gives us the power of AI coding, but for vim? Every time I look, the plugins seem to be far behind Cursor.
toisanji··on LLM abstraction levels inspired by fish eye lens
Another article with a similar concept, around AI, but not LLMs: https://blog.jtoy.net/choosing-the-appropriate-abstraction-l...
toisanji··on Show HN: App that asks 'why?' every time you unlock your phone
I wish I could do this on an iphone.
toisanji··on GenChess
kinda cool, I want to download the images!

toisanji··on Launch HN: Codebuff (YC F24) – CLI tool that writes code for you
I've played with aider and didn't like it, is it essentially the same?
toisanji··on Launch HN: Codebuff (YC F24) – CLI tool that writes code for you
That sounds cool and I like the idea, but definitely won't pay 5x. Maybe charge $30/month plus bring your own key. Let me know when you lower the price :)
toisanji··on Launch HN: Codebuff (YC F24) – CLI tool that writes code for you
If its the same, hard to justify $100/month vs $20/month . I code mostly from vim so I'm searching for my vim/cli replacement while I still use both vim and Cursor.
toisanji··on Launch HN: Codebuff (YC F24) – CLI tool that writes code for you
Quality of code wise, is it worse or better than Cursor? I pay for Cursor now and it saves me a LOT of time to not copy files around. I actually still use the chatGPT/claude interfaces to code as well.
toisanji··on Project Sid: Many-agent simulations toward AI civilization
Here is our version we did about a year ago: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.10910
toisanji··on Show HN: Donobu – Mac App for Web Automation and Testing
I will use it immediately as soon as windows users can use the app and then export to CI/CD/code.
toisanji··on Show HN: Donobu – Mac App for Web Automation and Testing
nice work, can you export the code later for integration with our CI/CD pipeline?
toisanji··on Show HN: Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak
can we choose our own voices?
toisanji··on In the beginning, there was computation
The human mind is an autonomous interlinked model building database of the world https://blog.jtoy.net/the-human-mind-is-an-autonomous-interl...
toisanji··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I'm testing out generative cartoons and media. I want to see what is possible with AI and media and if the content can be engaging. Long term I want to create content that could be used in a holodeck. Here is what has been published so far: https://www.youtube.com/@distarkmedia Would love feedback :)
toisanji··on Launch HN: Undermind (YC S24) – AI agent for discovering scientific papers
can you fix it so anyone can get it, that sounds like a waste of time to block people.
toisanji··on My finetuned models beat OpenAI's GPT-4
I'm most excited about getting a faster model. A model like GPT4 can be overkill because its too slow. What are the smallest fine tuned models that could beat a gpt4 model? Is it 7b or could a 3b model like phi3 do well for tasks like classification and summarization?
toisanji··on A most profound video game: a good cognitive aid for research
I've written about the cognitive aspect the author talks about before:

https://blog.jtoy.net/examining-concepts-through-different-f...

https://blog.jtoy.net/on-the-wondrous-human-simulation-engin...

https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.12068

The human brain has at least over 12 different coordinate systems. I like to reference this image: https://cln.sh/gpqhwrw2Hg92MQz62TY6

Humans have the ability to inspect anything from any point of view that we want, like a real time video game simulation system in our minds. I suspect that artificial neural networks are missing this core ability to encode and translate its point of view when processing data. Just look at basic LLMs failing at the reversal curse: https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.12288 No amount of more GPUs and more training data will fix it.

The entorhinal cortex in humans has a special kind of neuron called grid cells that works with hippocampus cells to do generalized coordinate translations. The discovery of grid cells won a nobel peace prize ( https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2014/advanced-inf... ). It is a prime suspect to incorporate for a coordinate transformation layer in my opinion.

I want to build an ANN that incorporates this "coordinate transformation system", but I'm not sure how to translate it into code, this is my dream project.

toisanji··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
can you disable external llm calls so everything stays on device?
toisanji··on Show HN: ChatGPT UI for rabbit holes
some feedback:

* can you make it so we can share links of sessions?

* can you describe on the homepage or in a link from the homepage what it does.

toisanji··on Ask HN: Programming library that allows you to call libraries from any language?
no, its not that, its a whole language agnostic programming library. the code example was like this:

#python code

import ffi_like_interface as ffi_like

jquery = ffi_like.transpile_js_library('jquery') json = jquery.call("function(args)") use_in_python(json)
