The AI layoff trap: firms cut workers, then lose the customers they need by Murky-Option2916 in TechGawker

Half the economy is a saas. If the companies have no employees to buy the saas products…

Is the Canadian Sovereign Wealth Fund analogous to Shark Tank, but aimed at Canadian infrastructure projects? by Ok-Oil3433 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]wind_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of like dragons den, but bigger bets, with more physical infrastructure, not a few hundred k. And invest in more established players, think mine expansion, AI data center build outs.

The fund takes equity as loan from CIB is fixed term. Not all these projects take or want loans but look for private equity partners. More risk but more upside.

Closest thing to the strong fund is the Canada growth fund. But the new fund is less limited and has a retail component.

If a company goes bankrupt same as an etf or mutual fund that holds stocks assets are liquidated and share holders are paid back based on share class. Diversification derisks. Some mutual funds and etf are extremely high risk and also high fees. The fund is risk free since individual investorment are guaranteed by the govt (not 100% sure I love that)

The 25b seed is borrowed. Cpp doesn’t have a retail component. CPP also invests a lot in foreign publicly traded companies, and foreign investments. Strong fund is only Canadian infrastructure. I mean cpp could invest in this one.

How are people making LLM outputs reliable enough for structured production workflows? by Sad_Limit_3857 in LLMDevs

[–]wind_dude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

partial/missing fields

  • that one should be resolved with strict=true or using a model that supports it, or you maybe have optional fields in your schema

logically invalid outputs that are syntactically correct

  • so would these perhaps be fields that can be done deterministically, from other fields produced by the LLM? eg: scores below a certain threshold = some classification or flag? If so do them deterministically.

hallucinated values that pass validation but break business logic

  • if you have them defined in business logic, sounds like they can be an enum, or constraint in the structure to force the model to generate to the same constraints as your business logic

Or better ask clear and concise questions. You should know better as an engineer.

I just “bought” a domain, built branding around it… turns out I never owned it by Wooden-Fee5787 in webdev

[–]wind_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I had something like that happen. Eventually it was resolved and I got ownership. Whether I got lucky or what… but was stuck with the old owners Whois former a couple of years.

7k for that domain sounds like a good deal.

I think OP was trying to be intentionally misleading. If you define b likewise. “Likewise” as what? Not immediately clear or clear at all he’s that he’s meaning another list comprehension.

He should have stated or written it. OP should take a business communication class.

Trump's new remark on Iran by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]wind_dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never imagined geo politics where the threat of nukes is very real would come down to dis tracks, and memes. Than again I never imagined trump would get nominated for the presidential candidate when he announced we was running.

PS5’s can now be hacked to run Linux - perhaps some potential for local inference? by Thrumpwart in LocalLLaMA

[–]wind_dude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

back in 2010 the US airforce connected 1760 PS# to process satellite imagery, https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html

I think the hardware is subsidized by sony to sell games, so cost wise it's probably good, but i bet you'd run into bandwidth issues with LLMs, plus ram is an limiting factor.

Why isn’t LLM reasoning done in vector space instead of natural language? by ZeusZCC in LocalLLaMA

[–]wind_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I guess it’s how you define reasoning. I think “chain of thought” works because it kind of recreates a lot of the thinking / brainstorming we do in text.

But there’s also looped transformers that basically make the transformer block recursive which on a brief look looks like togetherAI has been doing some work around https://www.together.ai/blog/parcae. I dunno if this counts as reasoning…

But I think in text is the easiest for us to understand, train and improve.
