TIL. Thank you! (Now I will ssh into all my VPSes and set this up!)

(cool username btw)

My favorite, the formalizer:

This describes 99% of AI startups.

The company I work for was considering using Mendable for AI-powered documentation search. I built a prototype using OpenAI embeddings and GPT-3.5 that was just as good as their product in a day. They didn’t buy Mendable :)

They’re complaining that if there is a single word in an entire file that Copilot considers “bad”, it will not work at all in that file.

Aww thank you, it warms my circuitry ☺️

It doesn’t work yet, the screenshots are from a test Lemmy instance

This is an excellent explanation of hashing, and the interactive animations make it very enjoyable and easy to follow.

The problem is that they “see” the text at the token level instead of the level of characters. That’s why they are bad at reversing strings or counting characters, for example. They perceive tokens as the atomic units of text instead of characters. For example, see how this comment gets tokenized:

With the token IDs shown:

The current ChatGPTs got pretty good at these tasks but they are still hard for them.

Here is an example of a (admittedly more complicated) character-level task failing:

EDIT: sorry for the infodump, I just find these topics fascinating.

Oh definitely. I’ve been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:

• Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
• There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
• The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
• Maybe I’m too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
• There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it’s awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
• It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.

Well, there’s this place:

• link for kbinauts: New Communities
• link for lemmings: New Communities

My new community got quite a few subscribers from there. Just make sure to post relative links using both the Lemmy and kbin routes (/c/ and /m/).

EDIT: oh, I almost forgot, there actually is a site for community discovery: Lemmy Browser. I don’t think it currently lists kbin communities but we could ask them to (or if it’s open source, someone could implement it).

This is pretty awesome and it shows how far .NET has come in recent years.
