Good thoughts here. Forgetting is important, but that's too advanced for modern LLMs.

by ramity 1mo ago
Two angles for thought. 1) If an LLM says, "I don't know" its underlying data said it as well. 2) Many system prompts use something along the lines of, "you are a helpful assistant" which may be counter to stating s

I run a business that makes 3d printed braille molds that are used to repeatably emboss paper. I haven't considered the molds being offline storage, but I suppose they are. I mostly operate with the assumption of a shelf life of 10 yea

Let me first start off by saying I and many others have stepped in this pitfall. This is not an attack, but a good faith attempt to share painfully acquired knowledge. I'm actively using AI tooling, and this comment isn't a slight

I see I was mistaken, but I'm tempted to continue poking holes. Trying a different angle, though it may be a stretch, but could a caching layer within the VPN provider cause these sort of "too fast" RTTs? Let's say you&#

Thanks for your informative reply. I see now I was approaching this incorrectly. I was considering drawing conclusions from a high RTT rather than a RTT so small it would be impossible to have gone the distance.

Contrasting take: RTT and a service providing black box knowledge is not equivalent to knowledge of the backbone. To assume traffic is always efficiently routed seems dubious when considering a global scale. The supporting infrastructure of

I didn't see any reference to a sender or actively blasting RF from the same access point. I think the approach relies on other signal sources creating reflections to a passively monitoring access point and attempting to make sense of

5GHz WiFi has a wavelength of ~6cm and 2.4GHz ~12.5cm. Anything achieving smaller is a result of interferometry or a non WiFi signal. Mentioning this might not add much substance to the conversation, but it felt worth adding.

I'm interested but am also incredibly dubious. Not because it seems impossible but the opposite. On one hand, an open source repo like this making an approach for hackable extension should be praised, but the "Why Built WiFi-3D-Fu

I really want to love rust, and I understand the niches it fills. My temporary allegiance with it comes down to performance, but I'm drawn by the crate ecosystem and support provided by cargo. What's so damning to me is how debili

I'll provide a contrasting, pessimistic take. > How do you write programs when a bug can kill their user? You accept that you will have a hand in killing users, and you fight like hell to prove yourself wrong. Every code change, PR

elzbardico is pointing out how the author is having the confidence value generated in the output of the response rather than it being the confidence of the output.

by ramity 1y ago
I too once fell into the trap of having an LLM generate a confidence value in a response. This is a very genuine concern to raise.

I think it's fair to say AI generated code isn't visibly making a meaningful impact in open source. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but that shouldn't be interpreted as a defense to orgs or the fanciful predic

Thanks for your reply. The target market is anyone who has interest, as I've open sourced the tooling I used for translating text to braille and generating the geometry of the molds. I'm hoping to create a follow up post announcin

You absolutely can. Deterministic inference is achievable, but it isn't as performant. The reason why sadly boils down to floating point math.

The way I understand it, an LLM response is a chain of tokens where each is the most probable token. Maybe there exists more complicated candidate and selection approaches than that, but biggest number works for me. For the sake of simplici

While somewhat tangential to this, I'd like comment on a different problem. "What's the fewest number of plates you need to go from 45lb (bar) -> 240lb at a resolution of 5lb?" Look no further than the 185lb set[1]. C
