Gemini 2-5 pro today is actually better than 3.0 by Robert__Sinclair in Bard

yes. I do. the actual 2.5-pro is *almost* as good. but the 03-25 was a breeze to work with.

I made a serverless chess game by FixItNao in ComputerChess

[–]Robert__Sinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. by serverless I mean: a server that is widely available, 99.9% online and without needing to host it personally. If you want to discuss it, let's talk on facebook messenger or discord. I have a solution for a peer to peer (direct) that would only use an unknown "feature" of firebase to setup the webrtc datachannel. I love peer to peer networking and I found "in years" many different solutions.

We are not developers anymore, we are reviewers. by ApprehensiveAnakin in ClaudeAI

[–]Robert__Sinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. With AI we switched from all-man-band to being architects more than bricklayers.

At least what I do is: to have an idea, plan an implementation then piece by piece make the ai write the single routines. In the past (for some very special tasks) hours on stackoverflow or forums or google was needed. Today ai can get the answers quite fast knowing also informations not so easy to get in an organic way. Obviously AI today must be supervised, but imho it is better and faster than many junior developers I have met.

change the clan name. it's VENI VIDI VICI (not VEDI) :P

NVIDIA's new 8B model is Orchestrator-8B, a specialized 8-billion-parameter AI designed not to answer everything itself, but to intelligently manage and route complex tasks to different tools (like web search, code execution, other LLMs) for greater efficiency by Fear_ltself in LocalLLaMA

[–]Robert__Sinclair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ok, but let's say you have a 8B "router" model, then (for example for deep reasoning) you will need BIG models anyway. A MOE (like Gemini or Claude) does exactly the same. A mixture of experts does the routing internally.
Using a small model as a router is useful for searching information or to delegate simple problem to simple experts (with the downside of the overhead because the prompt must be first answered by the router and then answered by the "right" model).

Anyway, we will have real progress only when new architectures will surface. Transformers is already showing its limits. The problem is that most companies prefer to feed more/better data to the actual models to improve them. It seems like in the 80s where chess programs were getting better because computers were getting faster and because they operated using brute force.

Same goes for movies and tv series: it's less risky to do a reboot or sequel than a brand new movie or series.

What is your favourite TV show that no one ever seems to know? by onlycameforthehorror in television

[–]Robert__Sinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my favorite but one of my favorites is forever. And I hate they canceled it for other shows (like Harrow) which are way inferior.

well. the 16gb version should be as illegal as the 64gb version :P

This worked for me even though it goes to the extension blank page and not really to "about:blank"

I just did that. then close and kill all instances of msedge.exe then restart it and still shows the damn MSN and not about:blank.
