When commenting, please assume good faith (in other commenters and maintainers). This is the third thread I've read on HN about the subject and I've sadly seen a lot of closeminded or shallow comments on each thread. Adding the ab

This is very cool, one piece of feedback: watching the table as the AI plays while seeing the reasoning is difficult as they're on other sides of the screen. It could be nice to have the reasoning show up next to the players as they ma

Even if AI tools (e.g. search or summarization) aren't perfect, neither are our current manual methods. Right now I feel there's a strong negative sentiment towards mistakes made by LLMs vs humans - when/if that sentiment fad

There's a difference between guaranteed privacy and certifiable privacy. Yes, the government can request one's data. However, Apple's system would reveal those intrusions to the public, even if Apple themselves couldn't

I second Kickstart! The single-file and comments make it easy to learn and configure yourself.

Agreed. If it was "RLHF a LLM in <50 lines" I feel it would be clear, but "lines of Python" implies something different.

I do something similar for my notes, but instead converting to HTML! (e.g. https://cswartout.com/notes/cse422.html ) I keep my notes as markdown in a repo, then "build" them onto a web server after pushing. I&

There's two main ways to "add documents to LLMs" - using documents in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and training/finetuning models. I believe you can use RAG with Ollama, however Ollama doesn't do the trainin

Agreed - the rebuttal comment you got had the example of "having to deal with MAGA people bitching about your existence as a Mexican migrant". Russia has been is conducting influence campaigns to stir up these very problems! NatSe

We shouldn't reduce or avoid removing any of the struggles you've brought up - those are real and we need to remove them. With that being said, most of what OP said is true: Americans are in a good position because of many factors

One of the big things to note is that Sparky plays very basic decks, with few complicated cards and combos. Rules-based AI could definitely play at a basic level using a beatdown strategy, but give it some sort of control/combo deck an

My good-faith interpretation of your comment is: "Maybe learn to code (without external resources or tools)?" LLMs are another tool and resource, just like StackOverflow, linters, autocomplete, Google, etc. None of these tools are

Is this legit? It seems weird to me that this paper has one author, from a deep-learning startup which I've never heard of before.

I really enjoy the use of pixel art to convey some message, this and the LLM agent simulation[1] are great examples. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35517649

It does remind me of a project [1] Andrej Karpathy did, writing a neural network and training code in ~600 lines (although networks have easier logic to code than a compiler). [1] https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT

It depends on the number of parameters you're going for - a billion parameters is going to be out of reach from scratch, but you could train some in the millions.

What's missing from your example is that the firefighters would sometimes respond to a false alarm but set the house on fire. That's what people are concerned about.

It is a one-credit seminar, so not as much a formal course but something that can accompany your core classes (that's not clearly apparent from the website though).
