No other writers have the stature of Knuth. The motivation to proof-read here is not the monetary reward after all.

I gotta laugh at your thought process: knowing Fable 5 is a large frontier model, you're telling me that the first thing that came to your mind on seeing that model name is that it's a quantized version of Fable? As opposed to a distillation/fine-tuning on Fable responses?

With tap-to-pay, you can store multiple cards in your digital wallet, and you don't have to remember any of their PINs. You can use your fingerprint to sign transactions. I believe this makes it faster.

Is Whisper still considered SOTA for STT? Since it came out years ago, I'd have assumed there are better models by now.

Asynchronous and parallel programming are concepts I've never really learned, and admittedly scared to use, because I never really understand what the code is doing or even the right way of writing such code. Does anyone have any good resources that helped you learn this and have a good mental model of the concepts involved?

Thanks! TIL there's a class of segmentation models with the YOLO naming scheme.

Is it currently possible to reliably limit the cut-off knowledge of an LLM (either during training or inference)? An interesting experiment would be to feed an LLM mathematical knowledge only up to the year of proving a theorem, and then see if it can actually come up with the novel techniques used in the proof. For example, having only access to papers prior to 1993, can an LLM come up with Wiles' proof of FLT?

How is it subjective? Can't terms like "replacing" and "fast" be quantified by metrics related to rates of unemployment and adoption of AI systems for tasks previously manned by humans? I'm not saying the data is readily available, but I do see a route to objectively measuring this.
Re:FastHTML – Modern web applications in pure Python
on Tuesday July 30, 2024 @01:23AM (#41106244)
One check I always like to do with a new Python-based framework is this - does it support the creation of a dynamic number of components at runtime, AND each having their own component state? Most frameworks I've tried support one or the other, but not both. Is there an example that demonstrates something like this in FastHTML - user provides a number n at runtime, n cards are generated, each card has its own text field which can be modified by the user without affecting the other cards' text fields.
