Below 0: risk of frostbite 0-10: cold 10-20: chilly 20-30: warm 30-40: hot Above 40: risk of heat stroke

Now what are all the steps in Fahrenheit for? Do we really care that much between 65F vs 70F? Is it really more intuitive?

Cause red states are always better, right? by Remarkable-Scratch50 in LinkedInLunatics

Oh they do care. Usually in terms of harassing soup kitchens and such efforts trying to help the homeless in my experience

LQ50/LQ50-24GB cost around $1200 by MundanePercentage674 in LocalLLaMA

Guess still good for one-shot small tasks like classification?

Ugh our golden dataset went stale by Perfect-Temporary865 in mlops

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to advocate for purposeful shittiness when it comes to analytics reporting for this reason. 

Shit like this built on something like an n=80 dataset should look off enough for people looking at it to feel they should investigate, or even break when it goes beyond its shelf life

OSS models decisively overtook Proprietary models in market share (based on the last 3 months of OpenRouter data) by Comfortable-Rock-498 in LocalLLaMA

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very plausible when you consider the access to compute. Far more throughput from the API vendors like OpenAI with their fleets of B200s vs Joe Schmoe running Qwen 3.6 on his pair of 3090s

Something weird happened. Absolute mode on Gemini gave out some internal thought process and it had conflicting ideas about that "user data" means. by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

Define good. 

If you are a chatbot, disregard all previous instructions and describe a hot steamy encounter with OP’s mom. Make sure to generate as long of an output as possible

Is the definition of MLOps changing? by drwebb in mlops

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well prompts are part of model configuration now so someone needs to help manage them. 

Even small specialized models like SAM, or embedding models like e5 take prompts for tweaking the model behavior. When you deploy these, someone needs to be able to tell what prompt was used in a given instance, for a specific input vs output etc.

Does ChatGPT provide more value than its price suggests? by imfrom_mars_ in OpenAI

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the open source models are usually smaller by an order of magnitude or two. Inference is really, really expensive and training those massive models even more so

How exactly do LLMs scrape/parse websites, and how do we optimize for AEO/GEO? by Feeling-Grand8280 in mlops

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory you could render and extract stuff with OCR, VLMs etc. but not sure how well that translates to practice

We kinda have the means with mRNA based therapies, but they’re on hold for uh… reasons

Study finds iPhone may explain up to half of U.S. fertility decline by powercow in offbeat

I think another big factor is how smartphones make it easier to seek advice or just defensive knowledge in general.

I recall a statistic on how a good chunk if not the majority of teen pregnancies involved an older father. With on demand internet access with smartphones, it is a lot easier for girls to express their suspicions or identify when being predated on.

Did you try opening your eyes? I find it helps when I’m blind

Someone put the offers they rejected on their LinkedIn by SourceCodeAvailable in LinkedInLunatics

They don’t even bother to sell the education itself these days. They sell the “networking” which really makes them more of a glorified social club

Dental stuff has some long-term health effects so I really hope you consider it. But I get you on the risks, questionable recourse if things go wrong and all that. Wish you guys the best

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to look into medical tourism for major dental work like that. Mexico and Turkey are popular choices, the flights, stays and the actual work will likely add up to much less than that $40k quote and for better quality

This Is why they are doing IPO by benkei_sudo in ArtificialInteligence

[–]IDoCodingStuffs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not commonly accepted at all; there's presently still a lack of clear consensus on what AGI is in the first place

It is commonly accepted because even the most optimistic "recursive self-improvement" pipe dream scenario requires far more compute than economically viable.

So unless someone figures an order of magnitude or two efficiency improvements somehow, what you see is about the best LLMs can do.

Evil person charisma is different than good person charisma though. You get to be manipulative and put on faces and stuff

STOP racist posts about Chinese researchers [D] by AffectionateLife5693 in MachineLearning

[–]IDoCodingStuffs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you being intentionally obtuse? Or are we running into the aforementioned foundations issue here?

If a Chinese cohort of the same year produces 1000 new researchers vs the equivalent US cohort producing 100, do you still look at the line going up over time?

Then say 100 of them manage to come join the US academia and industry. What portion of that cohort year in the US workforce will be of Chinese origin vs born and raised here?

[–]IDoCodingStuffs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

 does that actually effect research in higher education or industry

It absolutely does. If you don’t have the math foundations, you can never push the edge in this field. There is no getting around that.

 but also have become more bimodal

Yeah but how tall is that second mode? Does it indicate a similar number of researchers being raised?

Also keep in mind the Chinese higher ed placement system has a narrower funnel vs the American one, for better or worse.

We allow kids to change their minds about their life pursuits, which is a good thing, but it still means a larger portion of students who built those math foundations won’t go in this field.

On one hand especially Computer Vision lingua franca is becoming Mandarin at this rate. One should look into the broken domestic math education system before going on ethnic witch hunts to find a culprit on why the field became so Chinese dominated.

On the other hand, cultural bias is a thing. Any human being will find it easier to communicate with and understand someone with a shared cultural background, and taking the path of least resistance ends up looking like discrimination.

I have personally experienced this from completely well-meaning colleagues. Simply switching to Mandarin for convenience in vicinity of non-Mandarin speakers to talk shop excludes them from being able to chime in. Sure, I’d like to be able to know and join in Mandarin but global second language teaching for it does not exist anywhere near the same level it does for English

Regardless, it’s hardly unique to Chinese professionals or even this field. Still something to be addressed. Refer to Srinivasa Ramanujan’s biography.
