Dang only forward passes. The real secret was in the backward pass! I was also curious to learn how they implemented the dualpipe scheduler

Amazing, this is why I visit HN :D Combining the two ideas, "hand drawn" animation flip books could be neat. Start with a video, convert frames to a drawable vector, draw each frame with a pen plotter, assemble the flip book

Love it - I wonder if you could create a animation book this way cheaply, see a moving image as you flip through it

I think its amazing that posts like this exist, and more should definitely be written so that people don't feel powerless after a layoff. Too often we tie our identity to institutions and it isn't doing anyone any good (well maybe

Based on the chart, the Kaggle SOTA model is far more impressive. These O3 models are more expensive to run than just hiring a mechanical turk worker. It's nice we are proving out the scaling hypothesis further, it's just grossly

Summary: Its a real result, the cool part is more qubits seem to live longer rather than shorter, bad part the results are not explicitly verifiable, only through extrapolation

I think this is a great way to explain the idea of a knowledge graph. There's probably a whole field of ux research opening up to interact with knowledge graphs and using llms to create them, parse them and display them to users

So this is flipping the Human-AI working model and basically using the human as the tool?

This presentation does a good job distilling why FireDucks is so fast: https://fireducks-dev.github.io/files/20241003_PyConZA.pdf The main reasons are * multithreading * rewriting base pandas functions like dropna in c

Wow this is great! I think this is kind of the future of automation and "computer use" once LLMs become powerful enough. Every task on the web can be reduced down to a series of backend calls, and the key is extracting out the min

Apple should hook into app functions themselves instead of relying on UI. I would be really surprised if Apple made a browser automation tool, since that would be the complete opposite of the "it just works" credo

I'd argue that this is not even a solution to begin with. If the LLM gets even one pixel value wrong, then at best the whole process breaks down. At worst, you could do some irreversible damage.

This is basically RPA with LLMs. And RPA is basically the worst possible solution to any problem. Agents won't get anywhere because any user process you want to automate is better done by creating APIs and creating a proper guaranteed

This is great -- I'm always amazed how effective classical algorithms are at doing so-called "neural tasks". What's strange is how few SIGGRAPH tech ever makes it out as a consumer product

Kind of lame to go to a holy site while basically spitting on the people who give you hospitality. "Unpleasant garbage" indeed. Read Leopold Weiss' book (known as Muhammad Asad), "Road to Mecca", which is a much bet

I see where the author is coming from - like any new technology, AI is getting abused significantly: Better scams, stealing creator IP, developing thought crutches, emotional dependencies on artificial companions, vast energy usage, and the

The jets are 23 million light years in length! That's 140 milky way galaxies laid out -- these are sizes I can't even begin to comprehend

Nice. I think in the future this could be way better if everything was local and didn't require a API key. As far as I can tell mem0 is a fancy retrieval system. It could probably work pretty well locally with simpler models

Wow that's cool - that's like those adversarial attacks they do on self-driving cars to make it think a stop sign is a gorilla How do you know what noise to add?

I watch all my lectures and practice language learning apps like Duolingo on the treadmill. It works!

This seems like fake news. It would extremely dumb to have such a policy since it would eventually be leaked and be negative press

I think HN is a community where people want to post something novel or new. When someone wants to post a kudos, most likely they'll upvote someone else instead of posting yet another "awesome job" (even if it is certainly war

You could even go up a few iPhone versions and still be <$199. iPhone 12 used ~$190 supports iOS 17 and can run the Tiny models (phi-2). For small models, today a used iphone 14 costs ~$300. Which means next year it will by down to ~$200

Take a look at an app like this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/offline-chat-private-ai/id6474... This will perform inference on Phi-2 or Mistral on almost any iPhone device. The first neural engine came with

What do you mean by edge? There are already many apps that use LLMs and diffusion models locally on even a mac M1, which means iPhones and tensor chips aren't far behind

The second point is really important I think - the internet has skewed our perceptions of what is real so much that it warps our own sense of worth. Also the demise of religious institutions have forced people to judge themselves by their

Attention is basically routing, these other routing schemes put a less fine-grained choice for the model, which potentially makes it easier to train
