Thank you for posting this <3. I've been thinking it daily for about a year and feel a little bit less alone.

I understand this is a significant topic in the industry but the ratio is really high. Every time someone at OpenAI or Anthropic farts, there's top 10 post.

It makes me feel as if a lot of hackers had given up on actual hacking to just be followers of the latest commercial stuff thrown on the market. It's likely a projection of my own fears, but I have not been able to shake it off and it's gotten worse and worse.

Would you mind elaborating a bit on your process ? Or share a few relevant exchanges, I've no clue how to start having this discussion.

That would make a great blog post

Nobody forced you to sell your soul. You made a pact with the devil. We all know how this ends up

While I was reading the top level message I was thinking on something wrong those lines. That being said I think it's somewhat useful to be able to see the reasoning in a meaningful format. There's already enough hidden layers of unfathomable meaning.

What if instead of a latent they used at a shorter form of note-taking-like reasoning, using more symbol to achieve a denser CoT. We'd get the best of both worlds. WDYT ?

I've been experimenting with a few settings in my 4090 , and if 3.6 run at 90-110 tps, 3.8 staya below 80 tps and it's most often at 60 tps. I'm using flash attention, mtp speculative decoding (n=2). I've looked at the club-3090 repo, but haven't found anything meaningful but get back to 3.6 performance

That was pretty darn fast :) I'm curious whether they got a headstart or if they're that reactive

The people that were sampled were probably already affected by the indoor exposure. I don't think it affects the validity of this study

Yeah it's a llama.cpp fork and it's linked everywhere on their repo

How is this relevant ? We're talking about open source analytics, and this looks like a shameless plus

I'm genuinely flabbergasted to read this here.

There's no possible comparison between Musk and Mamdani's gestures, at least from the perspective of someone who grew up in a region occupied by the Nazis during the war and had him grand parents deported.

Regarding EU politician support, it's really not what you describe. The politicians he's been supporting are the ones in the rightmost spectrum of the political chessboard in each case I've witnessed. There isn't a car I've witnessed where he supported someone center right, or left.

These false equivalences are dangerous.

We don't have a lot of choices right now, especially regarding banking apps :'(

Fwiw it's also linked in the article, so it's not exactly a surprise :)

I'm sorely disappointed by gitlab, I was hoping they would be a safe harbor against this whole AI bullshit typhoon.

The announcement contains way too much marketing stuff for my own taste. Just tell us what you've done, we don't really care about how you're trying to surf the AI bubble

I wanted to try it recently and went to their doc website. Ar first glance it looked surprisingly detailed for such a young project but why not.

I didn't wanted to run a random, possibility vibe coded tool on my computer right away so I decided to run it in a container. That's an option, great ! Tu run it with docker they recommended an install script.

Out of habit I downloaded the script and started skimming through it to figure roughly what it would do to my machine.

The stuff was a mess. Most of it seemed overcomplicated code to do simple thing. Then I ran into inline python code in the shell script. That's not super elegant but there are some valid use cases, why not. Then there was inline JS code... WTF? Then we're back in inline python.

Seriously, that's just a script to run a docker compose file ! We're not yet at setting up providers or anything.

I was not to run that script on my computer, and was happy I decided to go the container way.

I got back to the website to see if they have manual instructions... They did, maybe there's hope after all ? Those instructions ended up being incomplete or broken, even for someone who does devops-y stuff on a daily basis.

I decided to drop the experiment there and it left me with the impression of a pile of code thrown together by an army of monkeys.
