<p>> These smaller models are great, but they really feel like talking to a toddler sometimes!<p>You're using the toddler and the model wrong.  I love talking to my toddler, probably more valuable conversations than I've had with any other person. But it's not the same use case as asking a professor a question in their field<p>| Gemma 3 270M embodies this "right tool for the job" philosophy. It's a high-quality foundation model that follows instructions well out of the box, and its true power is unlocked through fine-tuning. Once specialized, it can execute tasks like text classification and data extraction with remarkable accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness.</p>

<p>I see it more like the goal is to build cool stuff, learning electronics is the happy unintentional side effect as you're exposed to concepts relevant to what you want to do.<p>e.g. I want to build a cool robot with my kid -> oh why can't you just wire the motors directly to arduino output pins -> oh motors need a lot of current to run ...<p>(btw have never heard voltage be called tension, TIL)</p>

<p>I think it's actually a fantastic intro to electronics.  There's nothing you can really do with "just arduino programming", the whole point is it lets you interface with the real world and therefor encounter electronics problems by default<p>The article even touches on that in the first hello world<p>> This simple exercise it by itself incredibly interesting that opened a series of questions:<p>> Q: Why is a resistor needed? A: High current and increased temperature damage its delicate heterojunction structures, which eventually cause it to burnout
> Q: What happens if the polarity is inverted? A: Similar to a normal diode, current will not flow and the LED will not light up. As long as this reverse power is not high, the LED will not burn and can still be used with correct polarity afterwards
> Q: How to interpret its data sheet? A: There are several interesting aspects its datasheet, like the LED’s wavelength curve, operating current and voltage, etc</p>

<p>> The puzzle is why<p>The feedback loop on novel/genuine breakthroughs is too long and the training data is too small.<p>Another reason is that there's plenty of incentive to go after the majority of the economy which relies on routine knowledge and maybe judgement, a narrow slice actually requires novel/genuine breakthroughs.</p>

<p>>  I want an AI that I have similar opinions to, which is obviously tough. It's like working with someone on their first day.<p>Most of what you're describing does apply to humans on the first day, and ais on their first day. If you aren't capturing these preferences somewhere and giving it to either a human or the ai, then why would they somehow know your preferences? For ai, the standard thats forming is you create some markdown file(s) with these so they only need to be explained once, and auto provided as context.</p>
