Although it seems the night train offering in Spain is not great.

It's a work in progress and southern Europe is not covered well, Spain is not covered at all. I focuses on Eastern and Central Europe because that's where I'm from, I'll try to add Spain next :)

There are many website for searching cheap flights, but I don't know any for searching cheap train fares. I decided to build one myself. Three providers are currently covered: European Sleeper, NightJet, RegioJet.

Altman is an advocate of Universal Basic Income, as far as I'm aware. That doesn't sound like he's not worried about massive job losses.

The 8B model response to my "Harry Potter knowledge-bench" question is too funny not to share.

> *Fathers of Harry and James Potter*: - Sirius Black is the *father* of *James Potter* (the older brother of Harry).

> - James Potter is *Harry's uncle* and the *older brother* of *Luna Lovegood*.

> - This means *Sirius and James are Harry's uncles*, though they are *father and brother*.

I agree, their autocomplete (tab) model is the best, but recently I realised I am using it less and less - the new models are so good that I mostly just do agentic coding, and I do very little changes in the codebase by myself. This is probably a general trend and if the usage of autocomplete models is dying out, it's understandable the companies are not investing resources into it.

That has been true for some time now, definitely since Claude 3 release two years ago.

I wonder when we will see an LLM deployed directly in a space rover on a mission like this. The time savings could be huge.

I usually love names by Mistral (Mixtral, Ministral, Pixstral) but this one just sucks. Not sure about Clistral though :D

It's not just you, I hear this often, but I am always suprised people can read for so long in bed. No matter how interesting a book is, I can rarely read more than 20-30 minutes before the urge to fall asleep becomes too strong.

But I can sometimes code until like 4AM. Weird.

Funny coincidence, these are the exact sci-fi books I read this and previous year, in the exact order I read them (I read some non-sci-fi books in between to not get overwhelmed). I finished Project Hail Mary literally one hour ago. All the books were great, but Remembrance of Earth's Past series was literally life-changing, truly a masterpiece.

I'm guessing you plan to read Dune next? ;) I plan to start with it during Christmas break.

I did some vibe-evals only and it seemed slightly worse for my use case, so I didn't change it.

This is my experience as well. Mistral models may not be the best according to benchmarks and I don't use them for personal chats or coding, but for simple tasks with pre-defined scope (such as categorization, summarization, etc.) they are the option I choose. I use mistral-small with batch API and it's probably the best cost-efficient option out there.

I like this quote:

'Everything an LLM outputs is a hallucination. It's just that some of those hallucinations are true.'

Is it because the model is not good enough at following the prompt, or because the prompt is unclear?

Something similar has been the case with text models. People write vague instructions and are dissatisfied when the model does not correctly guess their intentions. With image models it's even harder for model to guess it right without enough details.

But decades ago it was not possible to reach content like that in a few seconds, using magical device we carry 24/7.

Doesn't infinity include every possible option (possible meaning that it can happen within rules of physics)? If the model of the universe is one where events are happening with some probability, then if the probability is nonzero and the number of universes is infinite, then the event should happen in some of the universes.

(Still a layman, though.)

I always wondered about the idea posed in this short story. Does the "everything that can happen does happen" theory apply to free will? If there really are infinite universes, is there a one when I'm walking a street full of people and out of nowhere we all start singing Ode to Joy in perfect unisono? Or get naked and have a massive orgy? No law of physics rules this out.

(Sorry, I'm a layman.)
