I guess practically this will be the equivalent to function calling with a single tool. The AI splits out some payload that you presumably feed into whatever you do next. There are only 2 possible outcomes: can/cannot produce payload, which is equivalent to call/not call the next functionality.

With function/tool calling, you give it a list of tools with payload and the AI will select between them, or refuse, so there are more than 2 possible outcomes.

(I've never used any of these APIs, get that from just reading the docs)
I don't think I quite understand how to apply your technique to gpus, which have discrete formats like fp4, fp8, fp16, int8, etc. Can you shed some light on that?
It's more than that. Google started out as an open-source-friendly company. Furthermore, their business model has never been to sell proprietary software to end-users, so supporting or opposing FOSS has never been an existential issue for them.

Apple has never tried to look like an open-source-friendly company, but has never really been actively opposed to it either. Their whole business model, for a long time now, has been to sell overpriced iDevices to users. Anything that supports that goal is OK by them. More recently, they've been making money with online services: Apple Music, Apple+ streaming TV, etc., but these aren't really affected by FOSS.

Microsoft is different from both of these. Their business model for ages was to sell packaged (or preloaded) proprietary software to end-users, and to control the OS that all users used. They've moved more into the cloud services realm in recent years, but they're still pushing Windows and Office. They were actively hostile to FOSS for many years: "Linux is cancer", "pacman-like", etc. Don't forget the Halloween documents. They've been trying to project a nicer, friendlier-to-FOSS image in recent years, but a tiger can't change its stripes.
It’s fascinating trying to play any kind of tune on the pads of this device when in “keys” mode. I have the sibling model and find it almost impossible to produce anything that sounds “normal”. I don’t really mind — it’s hardly meant to be a piano after all — and it certainly makes for an interesting phenomenon. It’s also one I think the designers nod to: the pads can be retuned to different scales suggesting a complete break from any kind of equal temperament octaves.

While I haven’t had the chance to ride one, I imagine it is the same feeling as riding a joke bike where the headset is geared to invert the sense of the handlebars (left is right, right is left) or using a pair of circlip pliers where squeezing the handles opens the jaws rather than closing them.

Alas, Teenage Engineering really set themselves a high bar with the OP-1 and I still don’t think they’ve ever come close to it. The OP-Z just didn’t compete without a screen, the pocket operators (and the K.O. II and Medieval, which have the same interface) have a much less intuitive design language, their IKEA lights are controlled by colour coded, identically shaped controls on the back, etc.

They are all lovely products at good price points that do their jobs delightfully but when they came from the same studio as the OP-1 it is like comparing a Pininfarina Peugeot 205 with a Pininfarina Ferrari 250.
It is just better to assume that ghosting is usual practice and any deviation is a welcome change. You, as a candidate, are trying to make a sale. Buyer has not obligation to get back to you, just like when you take a quote from someone for home repairs.

You are off by a factor of at least 5, because it's _passenger_ miles, not _vehicle_ miles. This is also why airlines are "so safe," because we put 300 people on them at a whack, if you were wondering where the "three orders of magnitude" actually comes from. It's still a man made machine being operated by humans.

So it's 5.1. Three times safer than driving. You might apocryphally conclude they were at greater risk taking the astro van to the pad.

Back to topic: One thing that bugged me in school was learning only the derivative rules like n^x => x*n^(x-1) and mostly skipping on using limits to do it in general.

For AI you also need to know the power and chain rules mostly, but if you know that you are already way ahead of the bootcampers.

At 16 i coded a 3D-engine on my graphical calculator and got stuck at arbitrary rotations around a point - but at mid 30s learned you need 4 dimensions and quaternions lol. So never be hard on yourself if you have to learn something that others know at any other point in their lives.

I've also found GPT-4o to be subjectively less intelligent than GPT-4. The gap especially shows up when more complex reasoning is required, eg, on macroeconomic questions or other domains in the world where the interactions are important or where subtle aspects of the question or domain are important.
I develop and run code in Crostini (e.g. VSCode, primarily for TypeScript and Python development in NodeJS, run Postgres, etc.) Over the years the lack of performance options (i.e. memory and processor updates) has become hugely noticeable, e.g. compilation is much faster on my current MacBook.

The Pixelbook was always a bit slower (obviously running in Crostini takes a bit of a perf hit) but originally the other benefits made up for it, but now the performance gap has become a chasm.

Assuming there is a compelling reason for a large file to begin with: with all due respect to VS Code and JetBrains, if the tools chokes because the file is too big, use a better tool.

As for long lines, there is sometimes value in consistently formatting things, even if it makes it somewhat harder to read because the lines run long. For example, it can make similar things all appear in the same column, so it's easy to visually scan down the column to see if something is amiss.

In any case, since soft wrapping has been available for ages, why do you feel the need to reformat the code at all in order to see long lines?

I created a similar website which got lots of interest in my city. I scrape even app and websites data using a single server at Linode with 2GB of RAM with 5 IPv4 and 1000 IPv6 (which is free) and every single product is scraped at most 40 minutes interval, never more than that with avg time of 25 minutes. I use curl impersonate and scrape JSON as much as possible because 90% of markets provide prices from Ajax calls and the other 10% I use regex to easily parse the HTML. You can check it at https://www.economizafloripa.com.br
Thanks for the reminder. I looked into it when it first came out, and I know there was something I thought was a deal breaker but can't now remember what it was. Perhaps I just didn't realize how much memory can be added. I'll take a closer look again!
Are you using it as a "smart" tv?

In my case, I did connect it once to the internet, to see what's up, and since it had prime video which is pretty much the only thing I watch, it could have allowed me to not have a different box and cables laying around.

And, indeed, it started showing ads on the homepage and the UI was pretty laggy, even compared to my several-year-old firetv. Fortunately, I was able to do a full factory reset and it forgot everything.

Now I only use the software to switch to an HDMI input which doesn't handle the control bits, like a PC, and to increase the brightness in case I'm watching at noon and don't want to close the blinds. 90% of the time, though, I don't even know it exists, since I only use my set top box' remote to do everything I need (change channels and volume, turn on and off). The other 10% it works well enough that I can't really complain.

This has already been done multiple times without using LLMs. For HIP, there are tools like hipify-clang, hipify-perl, and hipify (the Python-based tool in PyTorch). For SYCL, there is SYCLomatic.

The devil is in the details, though; at some point, all projects encounter non-portable code due to different instruction sets. For example, if the hardware does not support Warpgroup Level Multiply-and-Accumulate or a specific minifloat format, it is actively harmful to translate the code 'as is.' These platforms require software redesign, which is not something that LLMs are currently capable of handling.
I've lived in the Bay Area for 60 years, and never witnessed or been near a shooting. They do happen more often here, but violence is far lower than you would think from the media and online anecdotes.

Agree with this take, though in an even broader way; they're optimizing for the leaderboards and benchmarks in general. Longer outputs lead to better scores on those. Even in this thread I see a lot of comments bring them up, so it works for marketing.

My take is that the leaderboards and benchmarks are still very flawed if you're using LLMs for any non-chat purpose. In the product I'm building, I have to use all of the big 4 models (GPT, Claude, Llama, Gemini), because for each of them there is at least one tasks that it performs much better than the other 3.

Doubt those are individual "7 segment LEDs", more likely it's just a light-pipe with a specialized shape, and white LEDs beneath. There's another very similar device on their website with slightly differently shaped "7 segment LEDs".
Yes, if it's your first day on the job and you don't know that CSI is a driver. Yes, if GetCSINameFromInTreeName ever gets renamed to something less obvious.
It does directly affect the customer’s systems. Revoking the certificates would have broken the customer’s website as an immediate, foreseen, and arguably intentional consequence. I’m skeptical any judge would buy an argument that this is an expressive act.

Even if one would, I very much doubt that a company which argued it has a free speech right to break your website with 24 hours notice would survive the ensuing controversy.

Do not do it. They will teach you how to use their pointless abstractions which will mean when things don’t work right, you will have to traverse many libraries to figure out what is going wrong.

They will make a lot of things seem very easy, such as embeddings, but you will end up with a one size fits all solution that you don’t understand.

Semantic Kernel is one of the worst. They are always just one version away from the panacea of multi agent workflows, but unfortunately you’re going to have to blow up what you just built to implement the new version because reasons… Oh and can you load that into promptflow for me?. Know how those agents are really slow? You should buy provisioned AzureOpenAI throughput from us. For 24 low payments of 99999999999/mo..

Brilliant people working on this stuff with good intentions (the usual suspects), but everyone is trying to be on the bleeding edge and the bleeding edge changes quite a lot, leaving technical debt to be stumbled over.

Try some of your own libraries. When you find yourself doing something where you say “surely this has been done a million times” go out and take a look around and draw inspiration or bring the tools into your workflow, but don’t start that way if you can avoid it.

Really?

Just to try, I just logged out of my Google Chromecast with Google TV (yes folks, it may time to rebrand...), and started playing a stream from Spotify using my phone.

And now I'm listening to Spotify.

I did this with both Google Cast and Spotify Connect (Spotify, at least on Android, allows selection of this).

No issues.

Am I not holding it right? It sure has the appearance of working correctly, but we may not be observing the same things.
That was also true in mission bay, is true in Lakeshore, and I assume other neighborhoods too.

It shouldn’t be like that, but those are the priorities we (as society and electorate) decided on.
I would consider this a code smell:

if err != nil {
return "N/A"
}

And I overall dislike the level of nesting in some of these functions but that might just be the nature of Go code.

I have been begging for a good controller for a while.

I like the Xbox controllers in terms of stick position, so the ps5 is a no. The new dpad though is terrible, i preferred the cross with directions clearly separated, but now they are back to joined dpad.

Then there is stick drift, sticky buttons and buttons that don't register inputs anymore every now and then.

The elite controllers apparently are garbage qc, even though they would be ok.
oh, the gyro, back buttons and a way to have touchpads like the steam deck would be ideal. I'm so hoping valve releases a controller that's the pc companion of a steam deck.

I almost forgot, it is possible to have sticks with no deadzones, i would love to have a controller with those.

Why it's so hard to buy replacement parts for controllers?
Hope it helps. I use the configs as a source of truth and have a dozen or so different included files. This way the servers are grouped logically similar to ansible enventories (which I generate using the different configs). Running a command against all servers in one or more configs is simple this way:

$ grep '^Host' .ssh/<config file> | awk '{print $2}' | while read hst; do ssh $hst '<remote command>' 2> /dev/null < /dev/null; done
Indeed. And the direction of memory is one of the things that determines the arrow of time, perhaps the most important one.
But then they'll both be the wrong color.
You could just call them? Everybody has a phone on them at all times, there’s no need to reinvent that wheel.
> There is a famous paper about the location of company headquarters: they get as close as possible to the residence of company CEOs.

Boeing. That's what killed Boeing - moving HQ from the factory in Renton, WA to Chicago. Boeing has no plants anywhere near Chicago. But Dave Calhoun, the previous CEO lived in Chicago. He previously was the head of Nielsen, the TV ratings and marketing company, which has been in Chicago for a century.

It took far too long, but Calhoun is finally being eased out. Not fired outright, which would have been appropriate.
Man, I wouldn't even stop to think that they blocked a search engine, I'd just think that their hotspot was broken.

Well, I guess by my standards, it IS broken.
That's fascinating to hear and I think it would work really well with what we do.

What I am picturing is that you could run the whole workflow including traditional heuristics in a CPU instance, which would connect to a GPU on-demand.

If you are interested would love for you to try this. We're running a (very unprofitable) beta with a T4 instance + a CPU-only instance for $10/month for those who are willing to help us test this with production workloads.

FWIW I was all in on apple until I bought a brand new top of the line MBP in 2016, only to have it crap out on me a couple years later due to flexgate. Apple wanted me to pay something like $800 for a new screen due to their design flaws on a super small cable.

Clearly I'm biased, but the price for a new top of the line MNT laptop isn't bad comparatively at ~1,500 USD. Assuming you can wait a half a year to get one... On the keyboard comment, I have to say I find it quite easy to use. The only real difference is the split space bar, alt, and ctrl keys.

Would love to see a followup review on your channel whenever they get around to releasing the MNT Reform Next which should be much slimmer and faster. To your credit though, it's definitely for people who are willing to tinker. Simple things you'd expect to work like plugging in an external monitor don't work out of the box.

I'm building a product that requires complex LLM flows and out of OpenAI's "cheap" tier models, the old versions of Turbo-3.5 are far better than the last versions of it and 4o-mini. I have a number of tasks that the former consistently succeed at and the latter consistently fail at regardless of prompting.

Leaderboards and benchmarks are very misleading as OpenAI is optimizing for them, like in the past when certain CPU manufacturers would optimize for synthetic benchmarks.

Fwif these aren't chat usecases, for which the newer models may well be better.
I have gone through Fleak's documentation and demo videos, and also ran a few demos myself. I must say, Fleak seems like a fantastic product, especially suitable for enterprise users or professional engineers in the industry. However, from a personal developer's perspective, I feel that the documentation and demo videos are somewhat too professional and not as user-friendly for ordinary users like me. For instance, as a regular web scraping engineer, I need a simple and effective way to process the data I collect. While there are some basic open-source products available that could meet my needs, the learning curve, the necessity of running a server, and additional costs (like purchasing tokens for LLM) are daunting.

If a manufacturer could provide a one-stop service, including easy-to-understand documentation, tutorials or demo videos aimed at beginners, at a reasonable price, while ensuring the reliability of the service, I would be very willing to pay for their products. I hope Fleak could consider the needs of users like us, to further optimize the product and services, making it easier for more individual developers to get started with Fleak.

Looking forward to future improvements and updates from Fleak, and continuing my support for you guys!
Hey Einsteinx2, we're unsure where the pricing will end up at scale, however we are running a beta with a T4 instance + a CPU-only instance for $10/month, so can guarantee a pretty crazy deal for now :)

What is unique about Nicaraguan sign is that the entire process of evolving from a loose invented communication system with lots of pantomime and little regular linguistic structure into something with grammar and visual "phonemes" and a fixed core vocabulary was observed in real time over several generations of speakers.

As successive group of users were introduced to it as new native speakers they evolved it adding more and more structure, it doesn't start out fully language like at first. I can't think of any other case where that process has been documented in action.
