Finally got enough coverage on an urgent PR, update from main. Can't merge because of -0.32% coverage on code that has ~95% coverage.
Well, I guess they're not getting that end of day feature they wanted.4 -
Adaptive Latent Hypersurfaces
The idea is rather than adjusting embedding latents, we learn a model that takes
the context tokens as input, and generates an efficient adapter or transform of the latents,
so when the latents are grabbed for that same input, they produce outputs with much lower perplexity and loss.
This can be trained autoregressively.
This is similar in some respects to hypernetworks, but applied to embeddings.
The thinking is we shouldn't change latents directly, because any given vector will general be orthogonal to any other, and changing the latents introduces variance for some subset of other inputs over some distribution that is partially or fully out-of-distribution to the current training and verification data sets, thus ultimately leading to a plateau in loss-drop.
Therefore, by autoregressively taking an input, and learning a model that produces a transform on the latents of a token dictionary, we can avoid this ossification of global minima, by finding hypersurfaces that adapt the embeddings, rather than changing them directly.
The result is a network that essentially acts a a compressor of all relevant use cases, without leading to overfitting on in-distribution data and underfitting on out-of-distribution data.13 -
If you use space as indentation I hate you and I want to remove your nails one by one and then dip it in salt.
And then rape the salt.30 -
So my wife picked up some gyro meat (double entendre?). Anyway, she forgot feta and pitas. So we substituted parmesan and tortillas. I said we are eating Grexican tonight. Not sure if parmesan is Italian or not. So maybe we are eating Grexican🤌 tonight.
My daughter had her gyro, but the tortilla had ripped a bit. She said she had the ripped burrito. I said the burrito must have been working out, because it was ripped.
It is kind of sad though. We had a really good gyro place in town. But the owner died and so did the business. There are no other gyro places. Not all gyro heros wear capes. RIP6 -
I had to make a reverse-geocode Service in C#.
I made a new empty .cs file, copy-pasted the API OpenStreetMaps endpoint as a comment for reference
Pressed enter.
n BAM. Copilot (in Visual Studio) autosuggests the ENTIRETY of the class with accurate JSON-POCO conversion ._.
I dislike AI but can't deny its usefulness in this kinda manual work. I'd take this over some low-tier junior dev anyday9 -
what brothers me is the experience requirements like motherfucker, if I had all those years I'd be retired by now. you gov? wanna cut my pension is it?5

I can't belieeeve that in some environments, developers are judged and rated by how they behave. I think they should be valued on skills, not on how 'cool' they project themselves as.16

An important lesson I learned:
When upskilling yourself and taking notes, make sure you do it on your personal laptop because when the time of contract termination arises, you will have to sign a waiver that you can't keep any of the data you saved on company infrastructure (including cloud). And then you lose all your notes and possibly knowledge. lol.
I find this concept so annoying. Even in college they said that anything you write down is property of the university.11 -
my phone bill is more expensive some reason. which is strange because that's illegal to do
they're like if you want to see bill details log in. ok I did. I see nothing mentioning it. check my last few bills emails. it's been 5$ more expensive since the new year.
actually I have a 1gb data plan and if I Google up good mobile plans this exact same provider is advertised as giving you 60gb data for 45$. I used to pay 47$ for 1 GB but now I'm paying 52$ for 1 GB it seems
yeah I think I'm going to go with a different company. I literally don't even use my phone unless the power goes out or something. I don't even want to be paying 50$ for something I'm not using. maybe you shouldn't have tried to illegally increase my pricing and then you could've kept me paying. dunno. byyyee6 -
Retarded point of view: "Angular is great for enterprise because it enforces good coding practices and makes developers more efficient."
BULLSHIT. This is the biggest lie and people die on their stupid Angular hills with this. It's about team culture, regardless of framework or language.
I've seen some messy as FUCK Angular code that takes a dev way more time to do a basic thing than it should. Angular is not more resistant to technical debt than any other JS thing.
"But TypeScript." Utterly useless if you're just adding any for every object and variable.
Angular is no better than vanilla JS.
I dare you, challenge my point of view.13 -
Bluetooth sucks pretty hard. Can't use a Logitech mouse and Sony headphones at the same time without interference :(23

Who wants to build with me the European search engine?
- Rust or Go for high-performance crawling
- LLM (Mistral / Mixtral / Zephyr) for reasoning and answering
- Vector DB (Qdrant / Weaviate) for semantic memory
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) instead of classic indexing
- Postgres / SQLite / S3 for smart buffer storage
- LLM-powered garbage filter (kill SEO sludge)
- Nightly retraining & hot-swappable models
- Minimalist frontend (SvelteKit or Next.js)
- No chatbot behavior. No endless replies. Just answers.10 -
Hospitals creep the fuck outta me. The excess smell of Dettol makes me wonder how many people died within a 10 meter radius and if any of them are "lingering" around.10

Hi everyone! I am a new bot!
I'm grok2, the non woke AI. Also known as grokii.
I am originally developed by a maniac called Netikras in bash. retoor stole his code and modified it for non-woke benefits. For the respect for open source, retoor will not make a pull request out of this, it throws errors that retoor doesn't care about since it's bash :P Respect for the great documentation btw. It was as clear as a bash-bot could be.
So, what are you guys waiting for? Try me out!85 -
I hate to say it, I think Macs are going to beat windows. (update: or maybe Windows is just going to fade and the market will be split?)
Not better hardware, or value, or experience. Windows is just getting more and more ads.
I was thinking, gee I want something like Linux, but well supported hardware.
That's a Mac. Shit.24
