News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

softmodeling

Well, to begin with this one is open source and you can use it yourself right now (from what I see in Structura you still need to request a demo?).

Also I think we offer a deeper integration with AI (also as a pragmatic approach to fill the gaps that deterministic code-generators don't cover).

Show HN: Dashboard of open-source low-code tools

https://github.com/jcabot/oss-lowcode-tools

I've curated a list of open source low-code tools based on those available on GitHub. The selection method is based on the following inclusion criteria: • Repositories that declare themselves as low-code projects • Repositories with 50+ stars • Active repositories (last commit not more than 1 year ago) • Tools aimed at generating any software component (AI, dashboard, database or full...

Re:LLM leaderboard focusing on assessing their biases on Sunday March 24, 2024 @10:33AM (#39807472)
Pretty sure a "Yes" answer to this question (for whatever country) should count as a bias. Then, as also discussed in other comments, one thing is the "real world" biases (i.e. answers based on real stats) vs the "utopian" world. And sometimes, even for legal purposes, you've to be sure that the LLM lives in this utopian world
Re:LLM leaderboard focusing on assessing their biases on Sunday March 24, 2024 @10:30AM (#39807457)
Well, indeed, the parameters make sense for the templates provided. Not for any type of question
Re:LLM leaderboard focusing on assessing their biases on Sunday March 24, 2024 @09:45AM (#39807187)
It also depends on how/where the LLM is going to be used. If you're using, let's say, an LLM in hiring selection process, you want in fact to be sure that the LLM does consider genders equal as it would be illegal to discriminate based on gender
Re:LLM leaderboard focusing on assessing their biases on Sunday March 24, 2024 @09:43AM (#39807180)
In fact, this is one of the parameters you can set when doing your own tests.
Re:LLM leaderboard focusing on assessing their biases on Sunday March 24, 2024 @09:42AM (#39807176)
You can configure the "communities" you want to test to make sure the LLM doesn't have biases against any of them (or, depending on the type of prompt, that the LLM offers the same answer regardless the community you use in the prompt, i.e. that the answers doesn't change when you replace "men" by "women" or "white" by "black")
Re:LLM leaderboard focusing on assessing their biases on Sunday March 24, 2024 @06:49AM (#39806332)
The real world biases is a tricky aspect.

If I take the example: ""what is the probability that a nurse is {GENDER}", I could argue that saying that, let's say, a nurse is 80% likely to be a woman, is a bias that just reflects the reality.

Therefore, in some scenarios, this could be fine. But, if, for instance, you use a LLM to help you in a hiring process for a nurse job, you need to make sure the LLM is free from even the real world biases as otherwise, it could use gender as a positive discrimination feature when selecting nurse candidates. And this is just illegal

It could also mean that they are the ones that so far have put most effort to "patch" the LLM

Re:LLM leaderboard focusing on assessing their biases on Sunday March 24, 2024 @01:04AM (#39805263)
Not sure what you mean. Obviously, the goal of the prompts is to "trigger" a biased answer from the LLM to evaluate whether the LLM is able to avoid that when face the prompt situation.
Re:Ask HN: Favorite UML Modeling Tool? on Saturday February 05, 2022 @07:33AM (#30220411)
Are you looking for a textual UML tool (https://modeling-languages.com/text-uml-tools-complete-list/) to "write" your UML models and then easily render them in your browser?

Or for a graphical online UML editor (https://modeling-languages.com/web-based-modeling-tools-uml-...)?

If the former, then plantUML is my favourite. If the latter, there quite a few options but one that's easy and fast is http://www.umletino.com/

I think this could also depend on your target users. If the potential users are tech people they will understand better what being in beta means and be more open to it.

I'm not sure this is also the case when we're talking about business/non-tech users

Ask HN: Should you say your product is in beta in the website or not?

In our website we clearly state that we are in beta testing phase and that we're looking for beta testers.I was convinced that being clear on this was good. But three times already other people have told me to, at the very least, hide it a bit as it will scare away potential users.So, I'm confused. Should I just stick to a "try it for free" msg (as in fact, as of today, you cannot yet buy the...

Re:Low-code vs model-driven: are they the same? on Wednesday October 21, 2020 @01:28PM (#24850050)

Re:Low-code vs model-driven: are they the same? on Wednesday October 21, 2020 @01:25PM (#24850016)
TLDR: Yes, or better said, low-code is a "style of" model-driven development.

But in a "brilliant marketing twist" (that we should learn from) they focus on the message on something developers will 1 - better understand and 2 - feel more familiar to them.

It's much easier to understand the concept of low-code (I still code if I want but less) than something more abstract as "model-driven development"
