  1. I never quite got what was so "hot" about it. There seems to be an entire parallel ecosystem of corporates that are just begging to turn AI into PowerPoint slides so that they can mould it into a shape that's familiar.
  2. There are plenty of competent 16 year olds.
  3. I think using total parameters is fair, it correlates well with the RAM prerequisites to run it. Otherwise Kimi K2 would be "small" despite being a trillion parameters!
  4. Incredible. Thanks for sharing.
  5. People insist upon Codex, but it takes ages and has an absolutely hideous lack of taste.
  6. That's just a really, really ineffective rocket. A spring has nowhere near the energy density of chemical fuel.
  7. Clearly the consumer should automatically trade futures as a hedge!
  8. Personally I prefer Gemini because I still use AI via chat windows, and it can do a good ~90k tokens before it starts getting stupid. I'm yet to find an agent that's actually useful, and doesn't constantly fuck up everywhere while burning money.
  9. The Bristol young lib dems oppose it, but the parliamentary party doesn't think it goes far enough. The Bristol lot are great, I talked to them about it, but they're unlikely to change things on the national level.
  10. Language Transfer is great. On the topic of immersion, I made https://nuenki.app in my gap year. It estimates the difficulty of sentences in webpages and translates the ones at your knowledge level into the language you're learning.
  11. I just started uni, so mostly that. I've found myself making a little CLI for the timetable website and using a software defined radio so I can hear the lecturer while still having noise cancelling.
  12. This is awesome. Good luck with it!
  13. Is that because they're young, or because they're inexperienced?
  14. Thanks for sharing this. I researched this for my A level project a few years ago, and this is a really neat cross reference. I didn't mention V2Ray as much.
  15. Yeah, I'd love something where you pronounce a word and it critiques your pronunciation in detail. Maybe it could give you little exercises for each sound, critiquing it, guiding you to doing it well.

    If I were any good at ML I'd make it myself.

  16. This is cool. I'm looking forward to trying it - I wonder what it'll be useful for.
  17. Google products are such a pain to work with from an API perspective that I actively avoid them where possible.
  18. I'm curious whether you can get https://platform.nuenki.app (my deep translation service; I'm just polishing it before release) to run into "too sexual". It's designed to be resilient to that kind of thing, and it works well in my testing, but maybe you have some better "stress test" content than me!
  19. I can't deal with any of the in editor tools. I'd love something that handled inputting changes (with manual review!) while still giving me 100% control over the context and actually doing as its told.
  20. If you're after speed, Groq is excellent. They've recently added Kimi K2.
  21. Yeah, proper V3/R1/K2/Qwen 235B are the point at which open LLMs become worth using.
  22. This is really cool!

    I've done a lot of research into LLM translation for my product[0], and I'm currently working on a deep translation service that provides reliably human-level translations.

    I don't know what model you're using, but GPT-4.1 is probably the best for your use case - it's in the top few % for nearly every language, and has a low standard deviation, while also being relatively low latency and low cost.

  23. "Devotion" feels more appropriate.
  24. I'm working on a translation API that's ~2x better than SOTA LLMs.

    The API itself is done. Right now I'm remaking the landing page so that it doesn't quote "look like it's from 2015". We'll see how it goes.

  25. My old technical school had Immersive Labs, which used remote VMs and had some tutorials around Linux usage.
  26. This is a neat topic. I've only ever done this once.

    A friend of mine had made a spreadsheet of fusion 360 shortcuts, so I made a little webapp for use at school: https://fusion.alexcj.co.uk/

    I made it use a custom stylesheet for printing, as they describe in the article, so that it produced a nice worksheet - though in retrospect, I probably ought to have made it denser when printed!

  27. There's a successor, I can't remember the name. You could also try Matrix or Discord?
  28. Classic Reddit. IRC, perhaps? :)
  29. I've noticed the same! I assumed it was something to do with its reinforcement learning making it more organic and less LLM-speak, but that sounds plausible.
  30. Ironically, maybe writing. I've been able to get LLMs to translate well, but I can't get them to write well.

    More realistically, though - the areas with the best lobbying and strongest unions.
