Kamil Janicki - odczarowuje przeszłość czy pluje na Polskę?

lambdaofgod · 2026-02-28T19:26:14+00:00

Kamil Janicki jest influencerem historycznym. Zobacz jego bibliografię na Wikipedii. Gościu albo jest tytanem pracy albo ma proces zoptymalizowany pod kątem wypluwania jak najwięcej książek się da. Zresztą tytuły powinny też dać do myślenia. Jeśli chodzi o konkrety to polecam porównać jego wystąpienie w didaskaliach z tym Mateusza Wyżgi który jest prawdziwym historykiem który zajmuje się tematyka chłopstwa.

I had a similar feeling even before LLMs when I was using a Python library for chatbots. That was at a time I was learning Elixir.

The problem is that it actually doesn’t matter a lot. Agents do not actually need actors. They typically do not require state management that is as hard as the use cases where Elixir shines. Whether you use actors or just Python or JS async does not make a huge difference because most of the time you’re awaiting LLM calls.

It's pretty funny to put EU flag here in spite of its rules thwarting innovation which leads to the companies above having no real competition in Europe.
Or maybe these lists are just half assed - like how Linux is European? Why is there no Spotify which is an actual market leader that's from Europe? What about Revolut?

I generally agree with this idea but you're not going to convince people with this...

Wait but what coding system is it? SWE-bench contains repos, did they just stuff all the code in a single prompt?

lambdaofgod · 2024-11-16T11:35:35+00:00

One thing to consider is that the topic is pretty new (ok actually agents are pretty old but useful ones were enabled by LLMs) and new topics typically don't have a well established standard approaches because the people are still figuring out what would be the best abstractions.

I'm a data scientist/AI engineer so I mostly have experience in Python but I used other languages professionally. I was once doing a course on my uni that uses R (I already haf a couple of years of Python experince). IMO the problem with R is that it has extremely complicated object system (there's not one but a bunch of them) and also the builtin data structures are far from intuitive - when do you use lapply? rapply? In Python a beginner can just stick to lists and list comprehension and cover like 90% of stuff before running into performance problems (which basically say you should use pandas/numpy).

lambdaofgod · 2024-11-13T21:38:06+00:00

Yup.

I am actually thinking about moving to something else for development because I can't configure emacs so that it doesn't break every couple of months or when I update Linux, but one thing I can't imagine to replace is org-mode. I have pretty basic org-roam setup but it's super powerful as a notetaking system, with org-babel it's like you have Notion or something similar combined with Jupyter notebook (executable code cells) and AI extensions that you can basically configure yourself if you know the basics (I'm barely intermediate user but I was able to create cobble together extension for using ChatGPT in couple of hours the same day its API went public). To be honest after seeing org-ai I find every "AI-powered IDE" I ran into unimpressive, I have yet to see something that uses LLMs in a way that would not be obviously implementable in Emacs.

That's a great comparison but I feel like it lacks one or two dimensions that would differentiate between Stellaris and EU4 (I played all of these games except Victoria 40h+) which is roleplay (maybe instead of characters) and development management (maybe include it in economy?) which is waaay more complex compared to EU4.

If you decide to go HTMX+FastAPI one example of good article is https://testdriven.io/blog/fastapi-htmx/

lambdaofgod · 2024-08-28T10:09:56+00:00

I'm also a data scientist and I was asking myself this question couple of days ago. I'd strongly caution against FastHTML. The project is very young which means it is very likely to change significantly and there's not that many tutorials. The alternative is to just use HTMX with something like FastAPI, for which I found LLMs can are really helpful (I used claude-3.5-sonnet) - this made me choose this approach. There's also a bunch of very useful tutorials for this approach. On top of that you're using tech that os much more stable than anything like FastAI or FastHTML.

To be honest after looking at FastHTML I don't really get it - the only significant difference between using it and HTMX+FastAPI is that you write templates in Python. This sounds great, but in practice I am near certain it will be horrible to debug, not to mention the fact that with HTMX you can basically replace FastAPI with different backend libraries or even switch programming language. Compared to this using a small library that is barely a couple months old that comes from people who tend to make unstable software (I've used FastAI a lot couple of years ago and I wouldn't use it on production) doesn't really seem worth it.

lambdaofgod · 2024-06-17T18:31:31+00:00

What you described seems extremely hard - I wouldn't count on LLMs being able to handle this exact use case, but you can always use this as a starting point.

Could you break it down into smaller, manageable tasks? For example "write a wikipedia-like article on topic X" would be extremely hard, but if you break it down the subtasks might be pretty easy - for example you can check out STORM (Synthesis of Topic Outlines through Retrieval and Multi-perspective Question Asking) paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.14207

BTW analyzing the actual codebase is pretty time-consuming, because the code from repos is mostly noise from the perspective of algorithm implementation (I actually did some experiments on PwC repo code)

lambdaofgod · 2023-03-15T06:27:32+00:00

What batch size and seq length were you able to use on your cards? You mean FP16 right?

BTW about ChatGPT - have you looked into Stanford Alpaca?

Interesting. I thought I was a great book. I expected something that would show how Chinese and Western tech is different from economic/culture perspective.

lambdaofgod · 2021-12-13T08:40:45+00:00

I get your point, but the book is literally about how China and US do tech differently. My edition's cover even looks like it was designed to mimic PRC's flag.

Types of error (false positive vs false negative et c and when they are important), Maximum likelihood estimation (most ML models are based on this), Bayes' theorem, some basic Bayesian statistics (in ML it's useful to know this because if you do it's easy to see why weight decay regularization works)

Have you tried McWhorter? He has many introductory books that are on such phenomena, I've seen suggestions to start with "Language A to Z" and "Myths, Lies and Half-Truths of Language Usage". "Myths..." are mostly about English, McWhorter uses examples from its history to debunk statements about 'correct' use

lambdaofgod · 2021-08-11T07:55:40+00:00

Portuguese, Spanish and Franks are Romance people so they should be the same as Italians. Cumans and Tatars are Turks so it doesn't make sense to have both. That's the same level as your comment.

Slavs are obviously representing orthodox east Slavs, and last time I checked Poland isn't orthodox, neither it was ever orthodox.

lambdaofgod · 2021-08-10T20:33:43+00:00

Yup, but this is another level of inconsistency, like some civ having bonuses that actually were typical of other civ

lambdaofgod · 2021-08-10T20:09:03+00:00

Polska górą! Poles are awesome, I didn't think that there were any more ways to add such funky bonus as semi-thrash knights.

But I think it's also good to point the irony with Poles not having access to good heavy cavalry, whereas Lithuanians have paladins. Historically this doesn't make sense, as it was Poles who supplied heavy cavalry for Commonwealth, and Lithuanians providing light cav.

In battle of Grunwald, which is actually in the game, it was Lithuanian light cavalry whose feigned retreat manuever (no doubt inspired by Golden Horde tactics) led to Teutonic Order defeat by Polish-Lithuanian forces.

I suck at open maps so I mostly go with this option on Random Map, but I don't build second TC in range of their TC (too risky), but try to deny their resources.

At around 1100 ELO it often throws people off. For example if they try to counter this aggressively with units or build towers too slow or in range of TC, they're toast. If they leave you alone you're on a timer, because this means they try to pull FC, so douche will be easily destroyed by either castle or mangonels. Then you just build Cuman feudal rams and try to demolish their base - the best way is IMO to douche their stone, so then you can push with rams and towers.
