I donno, I've come across or read about fair number of people who worked on a crazy idea for a very long time, as if they were planning to throw their life away chasing that idea. Some had a breakthrough and ended up being a huge win.

There is no way to access the Internet from inside Iran, not for private citizens, nor for companies, or even many server hosts. Just very very few places, directly linked and controlled by the government, have limited Internet access. Ther

To those argue that LLMs might cheat by using EXIF, I saw a post recently on twitter ( https://x.com/tszzl/status/1915212958755676350 ) and out of curiosity, screen-captured the photo and passed it to O3. So no EXIF

The original comment says "their mentality about open-model is wrong, evident from their post". Does not say it's shady! Why to be cynical?

If you are interested in this topic, I suggest watching the conversation between Edward Gibson and Lex Fridman. In the middle of the conversation [1] Edward talks about how there is a "human language comprehension network" within

Thanks for the links. I watched some of his videos where he explained how DataColada did their forensic investigation in data manipulation. What amazes me is how simple was the fraud (or at least the ones reported by Pete!). They basically

It seems the site is not accessible. Either it times out, or shows "An error occurred", or 404, for the past 15 minutes.

Amazing work. Thank you. I have a set of PDF files, and this week was thinking how I can link them to an LLM and be able to ask questions about them. So this was very timely. I did a quick side-by-side testing against Nougat, and it clearly

I agree, but I think they are more outlier than normal tweeter users. I've been also trying to find these people and follow them on tweeter, but it's hard to find. Mostly either don't tweet much, or tweet a lot of noise!

I don't think tweeting and blogging can be compared really. I would see tweeting as a form of "talking to a group of people". You often don't research, proofread, and rewrite yourself when talking. The UI to tweeting als

Me and some of my colleagues are also Iranians living abroad, and this morning our account was deleted! We were already thinking to move to a self-hosted solution (rocket.chat likely), and this is a good reason to prioritize it.

Most of the human-subject research done in public health, sociology, and similar domains uses data collected in a similar way. They basically ask people to take notes on specific behaviour or fill short surveys multiple times a day (they ca

All the figures in this book is missing (or at least up to the end of first chapter that I've read). Anyone knows where I can find the figures?
