I predict in 2 years there will be some aspect-ratio fill-in using genai. The thought of which terrifies me but I can definitely see it happening.

I was thinking the same thing, and then I also thought - if the long term plans are colonization, is sterilization and non-contamination viable, or even desirable? While the missions remain scientific I absolutely agree contamination must b

Maybe that’s part of it but there are so many moving parts in a near-realtime CMS and world class publishing platform, so 600 people doesn’t surprise me when you consider the scope and scale of the NYT

It’s impossible to answer that question without knowing what content/query domain you are embedding. Checkout MTEB leaderboard, dig into the retrieval benchmark, and look for analogous datasets.

It’s frustrating how hard it is now to buy pure cotton or <gasp> wool, from a store. Even if it’s 3% synthetic it’s still not what I’m looking for.

It’s gotta be just barely holding on in some legacy environment right now. I’m surprised they don’t just start over using new tech. Maybe that’s the end goal with on-device inference to sunset cloud Siri.

Sigh. We’re here as people asking other people who hopefully have expertise. If we wanted an AI summary we could get it from perplexity ourselves. I say this as someone who actually builds and sells AI research software - but there’s a ti

Yes, but it was obvious and I didn’t use equipment. It was in Jan 2020 at an Airbnb “hotel” in Nashville. There were two smoke detectors in the room. One of them was not like the other. I wrapped it in toilet paper. I left it wrapped s

I’ve been saying computering since the 90s but it never took off. Need to get a petition for OED going.

I certainly understand that. But again I don't know what to make of the rankings. Yes, I know this is a niche community and yes I know there are more games than these classics...but comparison on Crokinole being #47 among thousands o

Eh, chess is ranked #453, go #219 and backgammon #1545. The highest ranking game is "Brass: Birmingham" which I have never heard of - so I don't know what to make of these rankings.

Maybe that's fine for Microsoft/Github. Where are the bootstrapped startups supposed to go?

Great project! Do you support geocoding with a nominatim api?

Function calling uses JSON mode. While it has been mostly correct, I do get an incorrectly formatted response sometimes (maybe 1 in 10k requests?). So it sounds like this fixes that bug.

I’m not entirely sure but I suspect through their ML hosting/inference/training products and services they have working with enterprises. But I’m still baffled how they cover their AWS storage and egress fees :) I remember seeing

I see where they’re coming from but they need to sort out the license confusion. Stack Exhange data really is the worlds best open Q&A dataset. Far cleaner and more reliable than anything else. But LLM trainers are going to use it no m

This is the text I received in an email just now, which is for people on the 'Starter Plan' and easier to understand than the linked article. 1. Today we’re deprecating the Billing Starter plan (your current plan) and moving all c

The same problems exist in lots of cities. Enforcement and recidivism prevention is not easy. You need competent staff and big budgets at all levels. For instance - what if 20 of those 200 are minors. Family court might just release the

I don’t have an account and can’t read the article - but this is obvious to anyone with decent ML experience. Models are good with data they have seen. New unseen data is hit or miss. Most laypeople using AI these days could benefit grea

This won’t change Congress, which is more partisan than ever. It just means what we have in code now is what we are stuck with for a really really long time.

They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. You see, they got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but they use a sesame seed bun. My buns have no se

I’m not at my machine to whip up an example but this is an ideal use case for pandas. You can read or stream the excel file and split it in probably <20 lines of python.
