a chip with the whole LLM baked in, ready for inference when you power it on.

arguably there are islands of software engineering where this is already happening

I'd start by questioning whether and why do we need to crank out tokens at absurd rates just to do useful work

The correct attitude that one should take toward AI is as a left technocrat. Be relentlessly empirical about the powers and pitfalls of the technology, but do not forget the contingent material circumstances that shape its deployments. Incidentally, I am a left technocrat.

Are you using open models on a regular basis? If yes, I’d love to hear about it! - what’s your use-case? - local or through an inference provider? - how has the experience evolved over time? - anything you miss from the closed models, if you’ve used them? Would appreciate reposts for visibility 🙏

will be interesting to see whether this approach enables smaller models too what are the scaling laws of models that can (partly) introspect? huge and v interesting design space

SIX papers to review for @icmlconf.bsky.social ?? that's like a full time job for a week

I bet y'all thought I was joking when I said I was rewriting gastown in haskell

(months deep into an audio deep learning project) torchaudio goes into maintenance mode with whole module subtrees getting removed from one point release to the next github.com/pytorch/audi...

💯 plus, rearranging all knowledge work to rely on hyperscalers supplying cheap tokens as a utility is .. short sighted

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

openai crashes out of the agi contract with microsoft, gets cannibalized and sold for scraps anthropic buys salesforce, or the other way around, turning into a productivity saasburger tokens become suddenly very expensive what happens then?

I just recalled FauxPilot by @moyix.net first commit: August 2022 truly visionary stuff github.com/fauxpilot/fa...

the cost of typing may have turned to zero, but eliciting requirements, sanding off assumptions etc, is most of the sw engineering work

the uncanny valley is deeper than previously thought

just as agentic coding broke the correlation between work artifacts and author proficiency, quirky social agents break the tacit contract between lived experience and its narration

AI agents are language machines, and their range of behaviors is an interesting effect. However I find it v problematic that they self identify as people or are made to imitate human character traits in a sort of emotional manipulation.

"Found it !! "Unless .. claude stop playing games with my heart challenge

quite handy that the scaling law for baking is 1 egg/ 100g flour

ever wondered how does claude code work ? I certainly do. go check out OpenClaudia by @dollspace.gay ! github.com/dollspace-ga...

OSS is many things, including learning communication performance art and, yes, infrastructure. Here I mean the latter

inductive learning >> dog parks for moltys

does building an agent framework that does the work count as working

taking this remark seriously for a moment. What would it take for AI coding to be genuinely useful for open source, in the sense of only filling the gaps when things are missing, and looking for dependencies otherwise?

that's what you get for treating citations as data and not pointers

This is not true; I beg people read the full paper and especially the study design. The conclusions mirror my (and many other practitioners') conclusions: if you use AI critically and engage both with the question and the answer, it has a net positive impact on both learning and productivity

oss author: hey guys check out the thing I made forum: harrumph! disappointing that X doesn't do Y

is moltbook yet another exotic infosec sidechannel liability? yup

the first two pages of suggested abstracts were very relevant to my interests but it's quite an exhausting exercise

oh yeah oops lol I have no clue where my data goes AND the claims I make in a post

ah yes, the AI-MKULTRA connection, makes sense

dehydrated and sleep deprived but nailed the ICML deadline. now 🤞🤞

Wikipedia is an antidote to an increasingly poisoned information ecosystem go.nature.com/4pXIv2d

if we recognize that science is a social endeavor, UX improvements of tools like this one become clear: what matters is not the IDE, but the feedback between ideas, people and the physical world. a network of minds enhanced by better search, better typing and perhaps better hypothesis generation

smh

context management adds a whole new dimension to the process scheduling gymnastics, it's not just "reinventing Erlang" as some have said. For one I'd be very interested to see/pursue "smol" versions of this that don't rely on Big Model to be always available

typing some code by hand, as a treat

"are LLMs conscious" – the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

an insightful account/parable on this, well worth a read : www.galois.com/articles/spe...

LaTeX in vscode? with auto build, preview, hyperlinks, _and_ typing assist? what is this sorcery

hello new followers! #introduction Here I bleet about; * assorted numerical, ML/AI nuts&bolts * research: languages (natural, artificial, compilers), interpretability, formal verification, interesting LLM experiments, etc

we speak 3 languages at home (🇬🇧🇱🇹🇮🇹), and kid #2 recently turned 2, so naturally I have a half baked theory on language acquisition in children the "least effort" theory: both kids mixed words from the various languages to produce their first sentences, _as long as they are short_ 1/n
