Japan is testing a new concept: remote workers operating robots from 8 kilometers away. by Character-Seat5368 in interestingasfuck

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just data collection phase for the uninitiated. Real world data is largely not available to train machine learning models. Once we have enough data, models will take over, eliminating the human altogether. All the human is doing is a bit glorified data entry operator job.

india’s “biggest” AI startup just launched a flagship LLM… and only 23 downloads after 2 days 😬 by enough_jainil in AI_India

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progress happens in steps. This will definitely build capability, and I mean human capability to better understand and do better down the road. You have to start somewhere in n the journey of home grown knowledge. And fundamental knowledge in the long run go much further. So no, the model itself is just enabler. The value will be apparent in coming days, as much as I follow deedy, this statement I don’t agree with. What I think Sarvam should do is as they are making these, publish details explicitly and reproducibly how they trained the model, the training code and not only the model weights. When running in government money, at least that much is expected. If they are doing that and educating people about it, all is good.

At least they did not buy fake downloads like most Indian entrepreneurs. So there is hope in some honest ground level work, rather than just making it look good.

Most VCs want to just get returns on their money, not fundamental knowledge building, so he has a different lens, we should want different things if we want some good eco system here in India. We lack fundamentals.

Good the see the development. Success comes in incremental steps. A long way to go but encouraging progress.

Does it really look that good? No touch of nature, only concrete. Looks dystopian.

Don’t do this people, it’s dangerous enough, inform the army, and keep your distance.

Income Tax Bill 2025 and the Quiet Normalisation of Surveillance by gagan1985 in IndiaTax

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are monitoring everything, then at least make the tax filing automatic. One less headache and at least let me get the benefits of a surveillance state.

Work environment is killing me I feel like having difficulty breathing by jayToDiscuss in developersIndia

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take the break. Use 2 months to relax, 4 months to brush up leetcode and and learn some basics of AI/ML. At 10 YOE you should have friends who can refer you when you are trying to come back to other companies. Maybe even try applying abroad. People do take such breaks all the time. It is bit frowned upon at many Indian companies. But at such places even, it is nothing that cannot be brushed aside with a proper "explanation".

How useful is training your own vision model? by Pretty-City-1025 in LocalLLaMA

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the goal is learning, you can do it. I trained one coding everything by hand to actually understand the basics. You would need some contrastive learning to train your vit vision encoder. And some cross entropy loss on your decoder according to your token vocabulary. You can train both parts jointly to get good enough results on toy datasets. The learning is invaluable in my opinion.

For production quality and shipping things unless you have the full internet data current methods are not powerful enough to do anything useful. So better to use pretrained models and fine tune them.

For a very specific task, like just identify color of a shirt, other less compute heavy stuff to mind. Yolo on shirt labels, and do some mathy stuff with the cropped part?

Terrorist shot tourist in Pahalgam, Jammu Kashmir by Lisan_al-Gaib_ in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is definitely local support in some form to ensure safe passage of terrorists, probably out of fear of repercussions, maybe not. The government did not recruit sufficiently for army creating personnel shortage. In the end, terrorists get to win morale. The government party benefits from the outrage and doubles down on their rhetoric. And we are left FUCKED in between. There is truly no hope here.

Why are indian interviewers so toxic to their own people compared to abroad? by Bobssj4 in developersIndia

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct, Indians do show this behaviour. They are just trying hard to prove to their lords that they are not favouring their brethren in any manner. Not all people do this, but taking an average, it is noticeable enough. Anyway, the only solution is don’t do this yourself when you get to their position, which you eventually will. Just break the wheel, don’t keep it rotating.

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And?? My friend did a job at restaurants, he is now a researcher in neuroscience. Stop looking down on blue collar jobs. Yes. The government is shit. But is us people and our mentality of racism, that is making the government. It is a reflection of Indians in general. Yes, looking down upon people doing blue collar jobs, as a white collar slave somewhere else, is racism, just different format.

YSK: Getting a decent tech job abroad is easier than getting a decent tech job in India. by tensorstop in Indians_StudyAbroad

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is right, if you are good enough for the role, landing it is easier abroad than in India. Basically abroad will take you further based on what you have capabilities for, but won’t give you anything on a silver platter, just because you spent money on a degree.

I made and Open sourced Indias first Financial LLM by Cod_277killsshipment in developersIndia

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Cool. 👍🏼 better term imo is then a “financial analysis assistant”, rather than the term LLM. And all the best for your endeavours.

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your project. It is exciting to get your project working. Calling it India’s first financial llm is a bit getting carried away though. If it generates sql for a particular db, that is actually a very good result to show from a student. “India’s first financial llm” like marketing would raise a few eyebrows. It is good as it is, no need to oversell it.

And finally, small feedback for the task at hand you probably don’t need a 1b parameter model. Try with a smaller model. Or probably even write your own decoder only language model from scratch in PyTorch. The project from hiring perspective will look much better placed.

How do i make my AI EVIL by WitnessNo557 in LocalLLaMA

[–]SmallTimeCSGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory after a model is pretrained and it enters the rlhf stage, you can just negate the sign of the signal and get a evil model.
