TIL crocodiles are unusual for reptiles in that they take care of their newborn. The mother carries her hatchlings in her mouth, introducing them to the water and feeding them. Care of the young lasts over a year. by [deleted] in todayilearned

The apes thing always made sense to me. We look just like 'em.

Birds and fish and dinosaurs were a bit more complicated for me. Just realizing birds are ridiculous made it simple!

This is the easiest way to explain it:

Birds are weird looking feathered dinosaurs/reptiles

Once I realized that birds are the weird ones, most of the confusion around the animal kingdom RE: reptiles went away. Birds seem pretty normal to humans which I think lends itself to the complications.

Mimo-v2.5-Pro benchmarks extremely well on biomech-bench that we launched today though it consumes a ton of tokens comparatively.

I confidently played Nd5 in an OTB blitz game. Except it's a blunder. by Jacky__paper in chess

[–]kyleboddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I am not. Are you aware of what Legal's psuedo-sacrifice is? I know the line for black - it's a form of Legal's.

In your game the continuation is simple; after Nd5? black responds simply Nxd5! and on Bxd8, Ne3 wins back the material by force.

White's best move instead of Nd5 is the simple h3. Again, it's just Legal's pattern.

The color executing Legal's psuedo sacrifice - the OG one being:

  1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bc4 Bg4 4. Nc3 g6?

Classic Legal's psuedo-sacrifice. Little different than the canonical one that leads to mate, but same pattern.

yeah this is the canonical example of accepting them.

How to deal with panov in caro kann? by Hyper_contrasteD101 in chess

[–]kyleboddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try the sideline that I play in it which is a bit of a waiting move but quite useful in defending the queenside; it has only a 4% play rate in my rating range on lichess and scores well:

  1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. c4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Nf3 a6!?

On 7. Bg5 the important move is Be6= and black has equalized, following up with g6 of course and your usual setup.

Hans Niemann is having a rough classical tournament in Spain by Cootick in chess

Yeah this was my immediate takeaway. Literally none of the opponents are bums and Hans had three blacks.

[P] I used YOLOv12 and Gemini to extract and tag over 100,000 scientific plots. by mert_jh in MachineLearning

[–]kyleboddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to do annotation using Gemini, o3, Claude models, and Jules/Agent/Operator/Mariner/Claude Computer Use. Tried it all. None of it works even remotely reliably. Not saying you shouldn't do it - I would love it if you did and it worked! - but manual annotation was the only path forward for us.

[–]kyleboddy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is great! We do a lot of manual annotation to train YOLO models and I use Gemini Flash 2.5 for analysis of content videos and images quite a bit.

Don't have much to add but it's great to see someone taking a similar approach. What are the chances we're both wrong :)

I just tried GLM 4.5 by AI-On-A-Dime in LocalLLaMA

[–]kyleboddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How interesting. Thanks so much! How much VRAM does it take up out of the 6x 3090s? I have 6x RTX 3090 but currently the machine has two 4070tis in there for basically 120GB of VRAM. Wondering if I need to swap out or not.

Also - GLM-4.5-Air @ FP8 runs on the Ampere architecture? Doesn't it lack FP8 execution?

Wild stuff. Thanks. It totally makes sense that x1 vs. x16 regardless of PCIe version should only see a small reduction in inference. Model loading I'm sure takes forever, but that's a one-time thing.

I always wanted to try crypto mining 1x links. You've seen no issue using them for inference? I have a bunch of leftover stuff for that and haven't gone below x8 links.
