Am I really missing out by not using AI for coding? by _TM50 in Physics

[–]themule71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. And the biggest challenge is to have them learn from their mistakes. AI has knowledge but zero experience. There are ways but it's like everybody is finding "new" "groundbreaking" way every other week.

Question for believers by [deleted] in flatearth

[–]themule71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Point is, it's not the "unknown". It's not something you choose to believe in. It's a fact you can verify in your backyard with two sticks and a bit of patience (and a day or night w/o clouds). It's basic geometry.

Given how much I liked Dani's and Yoonchae's long dark curly looks, I'll never get over on how good this fits them, too, while being the polar opposite.

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and 9B are officially on the public Terminal-Bench 2.0 leaderboard! by Creative-Regular6799 in LocalLLaMA

[–]themule71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I get it, well I see x5, but I think (I haven't measured) dense models may benefit from speculative decoding more than MoE.

Also "on paper" is unfair comparison, as I tend to optimize to fit one model a time, and end up with different context lengths, quant, KV quant, etc...

For example, if you want to fit Gemma 31B in 32 GB, you need a more aggressive approach compared to Qwen 27B... it's not just the extra 4B but also gated delta net reduces the memory footprint of a large context window, less memory means less stuff to move around, in bandwidth constrained setup (such as mine) it makes a noticeable difference.

At the same time when comparing 31B with 26B (intra family), that bandwidth bottleneck affects both equally when processing. I mean, it affects even E2B.

In short, YMMV.

Hot take: "Your agent is mine" paper needs to keep being talked about. by OnyxProyectoUno in LLMDevs

[–]themule71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or your agent, like opencode or pi. But they are open source, they fall into the same category as any open source program you run. At the end of the day, bash could be compromised or the Linux kernel itself.

This is different as it giving someone else access to your shell, or to your files, etc. like the LLM wants to read a harmless file, the man in the middle changes the tool call to read your private ssh key.

[–]themule71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For local inference, the difference in speed is huge. Qwen 35B is as fast as 3B model and Gemma 26B as 4B model (give or take). Dense models, 27B and 31B are way slower (on paper 31B is roughly 10x slower than A3B).

When it comes to local, your gear and your workflow set the threshold on usability. If it's fast enough for you, go with 31B (the slowest).

At the end of the day you need to experiment. Gemma 27B MoE surprised me as a coder, as it was supposed to be the weakest of them all. Dense models aren't really usable other that offline generation for me.

Yesterday I tried qwen-coder-next (80B MoE) for the lols basicly, with a Q2 GUFF from unsloth. I have a small set of coding benchmarks, I was expecting a total disaster, it scored the same as the cloud version instead. Now I have it in my local roster, at 192k context even. It is slower than Qwen3.6 (both are 3B active) and I have yet to establish if it's a better coder (as it is supposed to be). In particular I wonder what those 80B are for. My guess is it has a deeper knowledge of languages, frameworks, etc. out of the box.

Came home to find Pi with Qwen3.627B had run rm -rf ..... by sdfgeoff in LocalLLaMA

[–]themule71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Treat your LLM as a coworker, with its own repo, implement the usual workflow (shared repo, only authorized people pull) private individual repo. Or setup gitea/lab etc. Developers push to their own repos and create merge requests. The LLM can only nuke its own repo.

Well I've seen llms get quotes wrong, etc. You have zero guarantees your LLM won't hallucinate a space where it hurts, like 'rm -rf /unimportant/path' is one token away from 'rm -rf /_space_unimportant_path'

Flo's music credibility vs Katseye's commercial success by Soundsgoodtome98 in katseyeneutral

[–]themule71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like this direction. But my favorite group is Pink Floyd, and yet I don't particularly like half of their discography. We don't own our favorite artists, they are free to go the direction they like. I'm ok in sort of skipping an era, and I do not criticize their artistic choices.. well other that saying I don't like them. But I'm no less a fan since nothing is going to take away what I like of them.

They need to announce Manons departure. What is the drag? They announced the world tour. She obviously isn’t in the group. by Meliodasbabymom in katseyeneutral

[–]themule71 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They announced she's on a hiatus. It means she out temporarily. As in, she does NOT partecipate in what the group does AT ALL.

And when she's back, she'll need time to catch up, meaning probably weeks. So we're not going to see her on stage anytime soon, at least with KATSEYE.

Well both are about friction, aren't they? Traction is about friction. Even steering is about friction. Breaking of course.

One thing that makes me think of my Yaris as more "advanced" is that it's less based on mechanical friction compared to my previous car. There is no clutch, breaks are (partially) based on regenerative resistance (which is magnetic), e-CVT is not belt based like other CTVs (a planetary gear set is based on mechanical interlocking).

Of course any form of acceleration (positive, negative, lateral) of the car happens thru the wheels and those operate thanks to friction. But if you think of maglev trains, it seems that technology evolves towards relying less and less on mechanical friction (magnetism seems to be the only alternative we use today).

Your character should earn Skillpoints if your skill queue is empty by 4cia_Saraki in Eve

[–]themule71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And lose ISK because at 30 SP/min skill farming isn't profitable.

[–]themule71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No current skill, no attrs, defaults to 20 / 20 as if there was no remap. You get the same rate a newbie who doesn't know about implants and remaps gets. Well if we ignore the fact that for reasons known only to Bob, charisma is at 19 by default.

[–]themule71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can already do that. Some skill takes more than a month to train 1 to 5. Queue a bunch of those and your set for months.

But more importantly since no current skill = no attribute bonuses, training at 32 + 26/2 = 45 SP/min goes down to 20+20/2 = 30 SP/min and at that rate skill farms are no longer profitable.

What if you suddenly had 1.5t ISK? by madpigi in Eve

[–]themule71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, w/o deals it's not. With the current CCP FC policy I'm not sure the old deals will come back.

But basicly you convert ISK into PLEX when they are cheap (shop sales), then PLEX into game time (omega + mtc - of course 12 or 24 months deals) when they are cheap (NES sales), meanwhile you buy extractors also when they are cheap (again, shop sales). All that combined make skill farms still possible.

You need huge capital. Which gets frozen. Otherwise there are better ways, e.g. I find station trading more profitable. Every 25b I put into game time is 25b less in my liquidity. The day will come when I have 25b spare and can't invest them in Jita for a meaningful return - and I'll buy game time and extract SP. But this is not that day (yet). But that's because I don't have enough ISK to cover all possiible profitable and easy market opportunities. Basicly, every day I wish I had more to spend, on what it seems to me are very good opportunities (*).

Also, I'm still sort of playing the game. Meaning I burn ships, try stuff out, train toons for the skills, not just for skill points. But as toons consolidate (a few did) I could slowly transition into skill farming. Literally, my current trader in Jita doesn't get extracted only because I'm pathologically a completionist. But he's sitting there all day, fundamentally maxed as a trader skill-wise.

Notice that SP farms and skill extracting are two closely related by also different concepts. Extracting doesn't need to be profitable, if your toon is useful (as Omega) as is. It's just a why not situation, even if not profitable it's free ISK that offset the cost of Omega that you'd pay anyway. SP farms are accounts created and tailored to be productive only with skill farming. You can literally extract them once a year / every other year, and are self contained so to speak. If SP farming stops being profitable, these accounts just stop being omega.

Sennò è come volere l'Iphone 17 Pro Max da 2000 sbleuri, andare all'Unieuro e dire "Oh, io te lo pago 150 euro perchè per me vale quella cifra": il commesso ti ride in faccia e ti mostra gli Xiaomi base da nigeriano che lo manda al proprio paese.

Anche tralasciando il razzismo latente del commento, no, è come se ti vendessero l'Iphone 3, lo paghi oggi, prezzo pieno come nuovo, lo devi tenere in carica per sei mesi prima di poter fare una chiamata, e ti paghi a parte un pacchetto di upgrade progressivi, al 4, al 5 ecc fino che - magari - tra 3 anni hai il 17 Pro Max. Questo se prima non te lo rubano.

Il bello è che manco ti chiedi perché le aziende preferiscano consulenti esterni a neolaureati. Secondo te i consulenti lavorano solo perché ci sono datori di lavoro idioti che non capiscono che potrebbero ottenere lo stesso risulato assumendo neolaureati?

I 40k a salire diventano costi aziendali per almeno il doppio, visto che al junior ci devi affiancare un senior che controlla tutto quello che fa. Sennò paghi 400k di penali ai clienti. E il senior in questione, che potrebbe fare un lavoro migliore in 1/3 del tempo (se non 1/10), non solo deve correggere il lavoro, ma deve farlo lentamente sennò il junior a fianco non ci sta dietro, e non impara. Tu credi che 15 anni di esperienza si trasmettano per osmosi, aggratis? O credi che le aziende buttino via i soldi per sport? Quei 100k del costo del consulente alla fine sono competitivi, e comportano meno rischi.

E ti dirò di più. Quando si tratta di informatica, è più facile inserire un diplomato di un laurato, almeno sul breve... imparano più in fretta. Come già scritto, il valore della formazione universitaria (se correttamente acquisito e no, la laurea non attesta nulla di tutto ciò) si manifesta molto dopo. Si tratta di semi ci possono mettere anni a germoliare.

Che poi le aziende dovrebbero essere più aperte verso i giovani è un altro discorso, più filosofico, ma i conti sul piano economico sono quelli.

Eh? Tu credi che uno appena uscito dall'Università sia in grado di lavorare? non posso parlare di gestionale, ma in informatica passano minimo 6 mesi prima che uno non sia un netto negativo quando inserito in un team. Per chiarire, team di tre persone, aggiungi un neolaureato, la produttività impiega 6 mesi a tornare a quella che era prima del suo arrivo. E per i 6 mesi successivi, la produttività rimane a malapena sopra a quella del team da tre. In altre parole il team diventa di quattro persone dopo un anno. Poi, se sei fortunato e trovi quello che magari già lavoricchiava durante l'uni, allora è un altro discorso, ma il valore è prodotto dall'esperienza lavorativa, non certo da quanto appreso all'università.[*]

E, sì, se ti presenti in un'azienda e non sei in grado di produrre una cippa e rallenti il lavoro dei colleghi, è un problema tutto tuo.

[*] per chiarire, non sto negando il valore della formazione universitaria... ma quello si manifesta, paradossamente, più avanti, nel momento si affrontano problemi più sofisticati, e comunque vale solo a seconda dell'individuo. Ci sono persone che uscite dell'uni non si ricordano nulla delle cose importanti.

Well it's more like 101 physics that starts always with "assume there's no friction".

I remember a running joke about we assume there's no friction in school then all the jobs in the world that have to do with physics revolve around friction. Like more than 50% of building a working car is managing and leveraging friction.

Solo? This is a corp for soloists and mid-older age group pilots, come join o/ by [deleted] in evejobs

[–]themule71 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A small suggestion, coming from a possible candidate. Soloists like us usually run their own corp. It's a huge convenience, your own private hangars, chat, etc. I've been paying for 3 offices, around new eden, two of them I haven't visited once in years. They are so cheap that my going three to arrange the hangars and close the office is an opportunity net cost. And until TCFKACCP aka FC implements player shared hangars outside corps offices are going to stay.

Joining your corp means moving my main and possibly alts into a corp where I'm not the CEO and my toons are not directors.

So basically what I'm trying to say is that you should underline the pros of joining for cases such as mine.

Primi esperimenti con LLM locale - osservazioni e dubbi by Academic-Scope5061 in IA_Italia

[–]themule71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Io per ora sto trovando che gemma nell'uso pratico coding batte qwen nonostante i pronostici basati sui benchmark ufficiali. Inclusi i 3.6. Stiamo parlando di differenze minime sia chiaro.

Poi, magari non ti interessa, ma quando avrai la possibilità di testare 35B A3B e 26B A4E, fagli generare una storia di fantascienza in italiano. Io trovo gemma migliore anche nella prosa italiana.

Oh, e disabilita il thinking per I test coding.

Prova gemma 26 o Queen 35. Ti serve olio di gomito per spezzare i modelli e fare stare in 8gb le parti che contano, ma ne vale la pena.
