Super interesting!

I'm currently evaluating the new gemini models for hand-written text extraction and somehow Gemini 2.0 Flash has problems with actual words. German or English, doesn't matter.

Haven't had the same problem with Flash Lite

Late last year I converted some of my projects to fastht.ml - and have been doing all new projects with it.

My productivity and enjoyment has increased significantly. An absolute joy to use. Thousand thanks to @howard.fm et al for the fantastic tooling.

I love you, R1 Why I think reasoning models are a huge step forward...

Here is why I think reasoning models (like DeepSeek R1) are a huge step forward.

(and it's not necessarily their superior reasoning performance)

Llama 3.3 70B with speculative decoding on @groq.com is absolutely crazy. The answers come instant.

The effective use of LLMs IS a skill to be learned, just like using Google effectively is a skill too.

Is there a vim mode for microsoft word?

vim motions really tend to infect everything you do on your computer.

DeepSeek Chat with DeepSeek AI.

chat.deepseek.com seems to have some performance issues right now :D The hype got real.

There is still room for an intuitive LLM app library like llama_index or langchain.

Man, these two libraries are a mess and so bloated. The source code is unreadable.

That's the problem when you try to do everything all at once.

Back from holidays to build cool shit and talk about it :)

Intelligent vs. Smart Here’s an important distinction to make in life.

That’s one one my favorite posts by @morganhousel.bsky.social and there is some striking similarities to the work of Hartmut Rosa on ‚Resonance‘.

In the modern world we put too much emphasize on being efficient and correct.

Super interesting stuff.

Sentence classification, information retrieval, named entity recognition are among the top use cases.

Everything that isn’t concerned with generating text but doing „discriminative“ tasks on text.

I experimented a little with Preact and HTM and it’s kind of nice.

Absolutely not :)

Your productivity is incredible 😀 if someone knows how much time you put into the current course, it’s even more incredible

It’s amazing how hard it is to beat BM25 for retrieval, especially in realms with specialized language like medicine.

Super exiting stuff. I hope this will lead to smaller, more capable models!

Compiling

I feel like there should be a ML/AI version of this:

Is Jurassic nbdev but for Deno? 😀 great name tbh

Haha, no apparently they don’t have a www to non-www redirect. Says all: www.editorialmanager.com

editorialmanager.com is another business ready to be disrupted.

I can now run a GPT-4 class model on my laptop Meta’s new Llama 3.3 70B is a genuinely GPT-4 class Large Language Model that runs on my laptop. Just 20 months ago I was amazed to see something that felt …

(The exact same laptop that could just about run a GPT-3 class model 20 months ago)

The new Llama 3.3 70B is a striking example of the huge efficiency gains we've seen in the last two years

I bet even random forests or support vector machines will still get you very far for many problems in the real world

This is just some nasty drumming

But what do people use for discriminative tasks like image classification nowadays? I mean the use cases haven’t gone away, or did they?

Using a VLM for image classification just feels wrong …

After a very stressful AoC 2024 day 6, maybe today we'll do something easier: building a random forest library or some web dev.

That problem yesterday stressed me out :D

TIL: you have to post gifs as a video, otherwise it won't run.
