I think we’re going to see a lot more “product“ focus in the future with deliberate attention paid to these kind of properties. Historically though there are some obvious differences, the focus has be…

Having spent a good part of the day with it, glimmer reminds me of Rorschach from The Watchmen. No unessential parts of speech, action oriented, brief and to the point. From a token perspective anyway…

It’s hard to know in retrospect what was strategy and what was dumb luck. This was in the midst of hysterical calls to limit access by “AI researchers” and safety/ethics types, when very facile t…

It’s “I’m losing so I’ll try something else”. It’s what any rational actor in a market economy would do, and it should be encouraged. “I’m winning so I’ll pull up the ladder behind me” is what we want…

The gguf is up and works, I don’t know if it’s them or unsloth that’s facilitated this but it’s nice because e.g. Inkling still doesn’t appear to have support in llama.cpp which makes it irrelevant to…

> I'm actually going to make a prediction here as well. I think you will soon realize that using LLMs to clarify certain questions or ideas you have will turn out to have frustrations as well.…

> image processing and resampling/resizing C++ code I hadn't touched in 12 years or so. So an unimportant, personal project. People seem to extrapolate being able to do something cool int…

The sycophancy is also a concern, it’s not really an impartial teacher, all its training is to suck up and maximize engagement rather than learning. The incentives are wrong.

What’s the best possible outcome from posting on LinkedIn? I personally think it’s a poor place to “build your brand” - it’s mostly your friends or existing professional acquaintances that see your st…

I used to waste lots of time scrolling LinkedIn, I don’t really know why as it was never great but sometimes you learned something interesting. Now I find it the opposite of addictive because of how b…

There aren’t any relevant ones. I think it should be an important goal of these projects (unless there is a clear conflicting goal) to make models people actually talk about and use. There is no quest…

> people skilled in a particular areas often feel they are intellectually fit in other areas This I think is a separate phenomenon, maybe Nobel Disease but there might be a more general term, for e…

It’s obviously real, at least as used in conversation, whether it meets some rigorous definition I’m sure there’s an out, but we’ve all known these people. With vibe coding they’re everywhere. Is this…

The OPs framing is better. Where does anyone say there’s a requirement to share data as demanded because you used a publicly available resource. These companies have created something world changing t…

I didn’t read it, primarily because of the tulip thing in the title which seems anything but a refreshing take.

> For many sedentary adults, eating less could support healthier aging and possibly a longer life

Benchmarks like the pelican thing are about correlation with “how good the model is”. Better models produce better pelicans. It’s a useful benchmark (aside from being “cute”) because of its simplicity…

I can’t stand AI overviews in almost all situations. There’s something both untrustworthy about it and also the idea that something is being shoved down my throat, like someone is trying to tell me ho…

They talk about partying all night and then going to work on drugs.
