> This is a kind of strange take. Do you think conference topics are mutually exclusive?

To some extent they are, yes.

First, it's about what people spend their time and focus on. If you're focussing on regulating, there's less time you can spend on innovating.

Then, some of that regulation actually precludes innovation in certain areas. So, by establishing the premise that regulation is justified by organising a conference on it, you're delegitimising discussion on the kind of innovation that regulation attempts to prevent.

> You're not really providing any concrete examples of GDPR failing, so there's not much there to respond to.

GDPR was - allegedly - targeted at the likes of Facebook or TikTok, which to my knowledge do very little to implement GDPR in a way that's conducive to user privacy.

At the same time, everyone running a tiny website has to put in enormous effort to implement that regulation, because otherwise authorities might come for them through ruinous fines.

Yes, this does happen, particularly because in some EU countries (Germany being the worst offender) it's so easy to impose fines on small businesses at scale, this literally has become a business model for authorities and law firms.

Only for people at risk. For randos in good health it does not change anything.
It's nice because a company can optionaly provide a SOTA reasoning model for their clients, without having to go through a middleman e.g. HR co. Can provide an LLM for their HRMS system for a small 2000$ investment. Not 2000/month, just a one time 2000 investment.
The wider problem is that to do a thing you have to start thinking about the design of IDoAThing and a implementation ThingDoer before you've even worked out exactly what to do yet.
Hard to know what ranges you have in mind with "decent performance" and "low-power".

I think your best bet might be a Ryzen U-series mini PC. Or perhaps an APU barebone. The ATX platform is not ideal from a power-efficiency perspective (whether inherently or from laziness or conspiracy from mobo and PSU makers, I do not know). If you want the flexibility or scale, you pay the price of course but first make sure it's what you want. I wouldn't look at discrete graphics unless you have specific needs (really high-end gaming, workstation, LLMs, etc) - the integrated graphics of last few years can both drive your 4k monitors and play recent games at 1080p smoothly, albeit perhaps not simultaneously ;)

Lenovo Tiny mq has some really impressive flavors (ECC support at the cost of CPU vendor-lock on PRO models) and there's the whole roster of Chinese competitors and up-and-comers if you're feeling adventerous. Believe me you can still get creative if you want to scratch the builder itch - thermals is generally what keeps these systems from really roaring (:
Microsoft PC Manager – Clean Up space, reduce ads and app pop-up interruptions
One of my primary goals of RamaLama was to allow users to move AI Models into containers, so they can be stored in OCI Registries. I believe there is going to be a proliferation of "private" models, and eventually "private" RAG data. (Working heavily in RAG support in RamaLama now.

Once you have private models and RAG, I believe you will want to run these models and data on edge devices in in Kubernetes clusters. Getting the AI Models and data into OCI content. Would allow us to take advantage of content signing, trust, mirroring. And make running the AI in production easier.

Also allowing users to block access to outside "untrusted" AI Models stored in the internet. Allow companies to only use "trusted" AI.

Since Companies already have OCI registries, it makes sense to store your AI Models and content in the same location.

Call me naive, but I somehow trust them to deliver in time/specs?

It’s also a more general comment around „AI desktop appliance“ vs homebuilts. I’d rather give NVIDIA/AMD $3k for a well adjusted local box than tinkering too much or feeding the next tech moloch, and have a hunch I’m not the only one feeling that way. Once it’s possible of course.
Bottom line we want to take advantage of the infrastructure created by Podman, Docker and Kubernetes.

The holding company in the other country holds the shares.

Right now Norway "holds" them. Aka there are database entries somewhere in the US, stating that Norway "holds" them.

And if their shares get frozen, they can't "move" them to the company in the other country. The US just won't update those database entries.

It takes so long for a woman to go through the gestation period before giving birth. But when you get 9 women you can get 9 babies in the same period. But it still takes 9 months. I think the women just aren't working at full capacity for those 9 months. It should be possible to just get the 9 women to produce 1 baby in 1/9th of the period.
Would it be something like this?

In that it created a circuit inside the shoggoth where it translates between hex and letters, sure, but this is not a straight lookup, it's not like a table, any more than that I know "FF " is 255. This is not stochastic pattern matching any more than my ability to look at a raw hex and see structures, ntfs File records and the like (yes, I'm weird, I've spent 15 years in forensics)- in the same way that you might know some French and have a good guess at a sentence if your English and Italian is fluent.

Good article
Maybe good to have a plugin for Omi.me.
I don't disagree with you. I picked 6502 has the advantage of having so many real legacy products built on top of it.

But again, I agree it's not a great ISA (and only having 3 registers always bug me anyway), so as long as it's a real machine I think it's good. Maybe the one you talked about, or a Z80 machine, would all do the job.
You mentioned a model released this week. Is it Lumina new model by any chance?

Do the Java talks in the video recordings have audio?

Since you insist, I actually downloaded kitty again and tried it. And I confirmed that I disagree with "it's not as good as kitty".

Within minutes I ran into a problem: tried to select a theme using 'kitten themes', could navigate themes but enter did not work, nor was I able to Ctrl-C. I had to kill the app from a different terminal (ahem).

That's what I remember from trying other terminals: they usually try to do too much, and there are plenty of rough edges, which results in me having to spend too much time fussing around. Ghostty gets this right: things work well, the defaults are good, and things that you want to change are easy to change.
> just forge a signature

Hard to do in practice. Arouse any suspicion and now the authorities are contacting the real voter asking them why their signature doesn’t match and the jig is up.

And you have to scale up 1000x to make an impact, which means conspiracy, which multiplies the likelihood of getting caught.

No, despite what you’ve been told the way to rig an election is not at the ballot box.

It’s a scheme to disenfranchise the poor who don’t drive, plain and simple.

> Coincidentally today, I received an automated text from my heath care entity along the lines of, "Please recognize this number as from us. Our AI will be calling you to discuss your heath."

That sets off super strong scam vibes to me... Our banking industry here and medical industry pushes phishing information down your throat so much people even worry about legitimate communication that couldn't possibly be a scam being a scam.

I find that to be better for society but definitely clouds my judgement on those kinds of text. Also I have absolutely dropped my previous bank because it became impossible to speak to an actual human and willingly pay more for a bank where my phonecall goes directly to a human.

Do what one of the other commenters mentioned, make the AI an assistant for the human beings that help your customers, let the humans communicate with humans.

Oh good, an unalterable ledger stating the wallet associated with you paid for an abortion medication. Good thing the US is in a social headspace where none of us believe that that will be made retroactively illegal.

I agree. And i think other comments dont understand how utterly difficult this is. I think that there is a translation tool underneath that translates into English. I wonder if it can also figure out binary ascii or rot13 text. Hex to letter would be a very funky translation tool to have

The US was at war during the course of the Manhattan Project. This is not the case now.

Being the sole owner of the first AGI would probably give the US an edge against its peers, but as fair as foreign policy goes, not as much as being the only nuclear-capable country.

For the world as a whole and probably for the US itself, in absolute terms, an entirely open AGI accessible to all countries with the necessary resources could have such an impact in the global economy that everyone ends up better off in aggregate.

So the things I have seen in generative AI art lead me to believe there is more complexity than that.
Ask it do a scifi scene inspired by Giger but in the style of Van Gough. Pick 3 concepts and mash them together and see what it does. You get novel results. That is easy to undert5stand because it is visual.

Language is harder to parse in that way. But I have asked for Haiku about cybersecurity, work place health and safety documents in Shakespearean sonnet style etc. Some of the results are amazing.

I think actual real creativity in art, as opposed to incremental change or combinations of existing ideas, is rare. Very rare. Look at style development in the history of art over time. A lot of standing on the shoulders of others. And I think science and reasoning are the same. And that's what we see in the llms, for language use.

That's 1.2 t/s for the 14B Qwen finetune, not the real R1. Unless you go with the GPU with the extra cost, but hardly anyone but Jeff Geerling is going to run a dedicated GPU on a Pi.
How I see LLMs (which have roots in early word embeddings like word2vec) is not as statistical machines, but geometric machines. When you train LLMs you are essentially moving concepts around in a very high dimensional space. If we take a concept such as “a barking dog” in English, in this learned geometric space we have the same thing in French, Chinese, hex and Morse code, simply because fundamental constituents of all of those languages are in the training data, and the model has managed to squeeze all their commonalities into same regions. The statistical part really comes from sampling this geometric space.
Does anyone know if there's an API where I could plug in ISBN and get all the libraries in the world that have that book?

Online, R1 costs what, $2/MTok?

This rig does >4 tok/s, which is ~15-20 ktok/hr, or $0.04/hr when purchased through a provider.

You're probably spending $0.20/hr on power (1 kW) alone.

Cool achievement, but to me it doesn't make a lot of sense (besides privacy...)

As an Angular/RxJS developer, RxPY was the first library I tried in my projects (about two years ago, I think). However, it had too many footguns that I didn’t encounter with RxJS. Because of that, I opted for simple asyncio Queues instead. Now that Angular is transitioning from RxJS to Signals, I was curious if something similar exists in the Python ecosystem.
In the computer industry, everyone (more or less) dressed in suits--though not necessarily white shirts--at industry trade shows. Then, one year at one of the big conferences, the IBM squad showed up in polo shirts and most companies more or less collectively decided that if IBM wasn't wearing suits any longer, they didn't have to either. This was around the time of "casual Fridays" and a general growth of casual business attire in companies more broadly.
It is a mistake to think that every vocal climate change denier actually believes what they are saying.

Some people are just true believer useful idiots parroting what Tucker Carlson told them, but not every climate change denier falls into that bucket.

The reason Trump's handlers want him to acquire Greenland is they know climate change is real and their plan is to profit from it rather than do anything to stop it or slow it down. You can't just come out and say that though, so you have to remain a climate change denier in public.
Yes, 100%. However, the distilled models are still pretty good at sticking to their approach to censorship. I would assume that the behavior comes from their reasoning patterns and fine tuning data, but I could be wrong. And yes, DeepSeek’s hosted model has additional guardrails evaluating the output. But those aren’t inherent to the model itself.

That is a huge and complex matter for debate.

IMO it is one of many things that undermines the notion that we live in an economy that has efficient markets and is genuinely competitive.

> When applied to expensive consumer goods, brand loyalty makes sense. Why would I want to spend a year’s salary on an unproven product?

Except that the brands know this and know they can drop quality and it can take many years for it to damage sales, so strong brand loyalty actually undermines the incentives to sell a good product.

> . Toyota (and Honda, though to a lesser extent) have a reputation for a reason.

yes, and they probably deserve it, on the other hand every car brand has loyal customers, and so do many other brands, including lifestyle branding for cheap (but high margin!) products.

Glueing together secure pieces too often does not result in a secure whole. People spend careers coming up with secure protocols out of secure pieces.

My take on not rolling your crypto is to apply as close to zero cleverness as possible when it comes to crypto. Take ready made boxes, use them as instructed and assume that anything clever I try to build with them is likely not secure, in some way or another.

Aspects of FOSDEM are really great but there are way too many people and trying to move from room to room is pretty much impossible for the most part. Last couple I went to, I pretty much camped out at a Devroom that interested me and that was much better. Also CfgMgmtCamp in Ghent which is right after FOSDEM holds less interest for me than it used to as that space has changed a lot.

I feel somewhat badly being negative but probably not my thing any longer. I'm very selective about the events I attend and there are probably other ones I prioritize.

Consider a complex LLM pipeline with multiple steps. each LLM evaluation has an associated prompt to shape the style/context of the response. Conventionally these prompts are treated like hyperparameters that have to be manually adjusted to get the desired behavior from the LLM.

This work introduces a way to treat these prompts like trainable parameters, updating them through automatic differentiation of some kind of supervised training loss.

For me it kind of feels like deep dream or style transfer, which use autograd to optimize the model inputs (instead of the parameters) to achieve some goal (like mixing the style and content of two input images)
