@simon I give gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp the following problem:
> Given the following conditions, how many ways can Professor Y assign 6 different books to 4 different students?
>
> - The most expensive book must be assigned to student X.
> - Each student must receive at least one book.
It gave the correct answer 390. This is the only model besides gpt-o1 which can answer this question. #llm

Tell me when there's an end-to-end LLM. I'm done voluntarily force feeding information into shady ass companies.
Any suggestions on how to use LLMs truly anonymously?

I'd be excited too if my experience of today's local #LLMs was positive but they're consistently useless IME.
I even chose my recent laptop purchase to check earlier experience on larger models but found no significant improvement on any tasks I thought they might be good for, or which others were reporting as useful.
I do see use for a local LLM assistant but they are for me trivial and not important. And there's no way I'd trust an #LLM to control my laptop.

The main reason I use #Claude as my primary #LLM service is because of the projects. I've created projects for Fedify, Hollo, and LogTape on Claude and use them for authoring docs. However, I'm not 100% satisfied with Claude's models, so I wish other LLM services would offer similar features to Claude's projects.

Hi @micr0!
In the first place, thx for creating @altbot @ fuzzies.wtf!
The profile states that to unfollow the #BOT we have to MANUALLY force that:
> Due to the way the #Mastodon API works #altbot WILL NOT be able to unfollow you automatically if you change your mind, please manually force an unfollow
How do I do that?
Also, can you please add a pinned comprehensive toot how to unfollow the #BOT, as well as explaining which #LLM it uses and what that implies from "our" point of view?

Remixing, sure, but what they do is not summarizing:
"Actual text ‘summarising’ — when it happens (instead of mostly generation-from-parameters) — by LLMs looks more like ‘text shortening’ and that is not the same"

Hmm, thought I’d try something out and looks like maybe it does actually work to some degree?
Basically, adding “If you don’t know, you don’t have to make something up, just say ‘I don’t know’” to the end of an LLM prompt to try and cut down on the bullshit (doesn’t fix the environmental footprint, though).

Annoyed that while there's a word for "computing" - which led to "computer" when we managed to automate this skill, there's no single word for "thinking + doing". And so, we have to use the boring "agent".
I asked my #ChatGPT and it came up with a new one, that's quite funny if you speak Hindi. 😂

PSA: Your Twitter/X account is about to change forever
If you're on Twitter/X, you may have noticed a sudden stream of high-profile accounts heading for the exits. And no, it's not (just) about the election.
This exodus is thanks to a new Terms of Service document, which takes effect on November 15. Although the company isn't talking about it, the new ToS gives owner Elon Musk the right to use your tweets, photos and videos to train his AI bot, Grok.

There's a new "AI" startup, Latta.AI, which is promising to ease troubleshooting with large-language models.
To prove it, the company has - in the last hour or so - spun up a bunch of bots that attempt to fix issues on public GitHub repos.
Here's one of the "fixes". It replaced the wrong strings... and broke the code by, for some reason, unnecessarily duplicating a line.

Update. "If you believe Mark Zuckerberg, #Meta's #AI large language model (#LLM) Llama 3 is #OpenSource. It's not. The Open Source Initiative (#OSI, @osi) spells it out in the Open Source Definition, and Llama 3's license – with clauses on litigation and branding – flunks it on several grounds. Meta, unfortunately, is far from unique in wanting to claim that some of its software and models are open source. Indeed, the concept has its own name: #OpenWashing."

The @thoughtworks #TechRadar is always on my must-read list - because it has a pulse on the future of where various technologies are headed, and provides practical advice around whether to Hold, Assess, Trial or Adopt a particular technology.
This edition's highlights:
➡️ #GenAI coding tools are causing antipatterns of developer behaviour, such as an over-reliance on coding suggestions, and a lack of abstraction - what we used to call code "elegance". "Quelle surprise", we collectively gasp.
➡️ #RAG - retrieval augmented generation - to strengthen the truth of generated responses from an #LLM - is a strong adopt - which tracks with what I saw at @ALTAnlp last year, and other @aclmeeting papers. RAG all the things.
➡️ Rust is in ascendance due to its incredible performance, with some implementations previously using Python now offering Rust too. This matches with the signals I've been seeing across the ecosystem - with Rust also making headway in the Linux kernel space.
➡️ #WebAssembly #WASM continues ascendance due to its ability to deliver powerful applications through a browser sandbox
➡️ Observability 2.0 is rated as Assess, and I think this is wrong - my signals - Grafana, Honeycomb.io - would place this in Adopt. Also ClickHouse's maturity for storing @opentelemetry data ...
➡️ Bruno as an alternative to Postman for API testing and integration is rated as Adopt - and I am in strong agreement with this.
What are your thoughts?

Was listening to the @404mediaco podcast today and realized that we are in for a world of hurt over the next few years in security. LLMs will lower the barrier to duct tape a solution together, which will let all sorts of people build things, which is fine in and of itself. But it will result in a net decrease in the professionalism of software engineering and product design as a whole.

The thing that bugs me the most about "#AI" in the #LLM age is that a bunch of presumably intelligent people heard the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle:
> The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
And said to each other: "ok, but what if we made that into MULTIPLE orders of magnitude?! 🤩"

You know those specialised translation sites (DeepL, That Monsterous Advertising Monopoly's translation site, etc.)?
Turns out GPTs translate text amazingly well.
Even with such prompts as:
Translate to colloquial Australian English: "Trotz sechs IPCC-Berichten, 28 COP-Sitzungen, Hunderten von anderen Berichten und Zehntausenden von wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen hat die Welt nur sehr geringe Fortschritte im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel gemacht, was zum Teil auf den erbitterten Widerstand derjenigen zurückzuführen ist, die vom derzeitigen, auf fossilen Brennstoffen basierenden System finanziell profitieren."
Result:
Here's the translation to colloquial Australian English:
Despite six IPCC reports, 28 COP meetings, hundreds of other reports, and tens of thousands of scientific papers, the world has only made bugger all progress in the fight against climate change. This is partly due to the bloody fierce resistance from those who are raking in the cash from the current fossil fuel-based system.
I'd also tested against French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, and English.

Let's do the math.
To train GPT4 - 384,615,000 KWh was burned ($100,000,000+)
That's enough to power:
* 690,000 average residential homes for a month.
* Run a large/huge data centre for 7 years.
Some #LLM models took x2.5 that so multiply all the numbers by that.
That's all of greater Los Angeles residences powered for a month.
There were "only" about 65 energy dumps like that so far.
Yes, I used #ai to do this, why do you ask?

A new paper by British and Canadian researchers published in @Nature has warned that today’s machine learning models are fundamentally vulnerable to a syndrome they call “model collapse,” where AI is trained on data it generated itself, and by other AI sources.
Reports @Techcrunch: “If the models continue eating each other’s data, perhaps without even knowing it, they’ll progressively get weirder and dumber until they collapse. The researchers provide numerous examples and mitigation methods, but they go so far as to call model collapse “inevitable,” at least in theory.” Here’s more.

One way to #TalkBetterAboutAI when referring to use of #TextGenerators is to try using words like "typed," "input," or "entered" instead of "asked."
To describe the text generator (aka #LLM) behavior, instead of "answered," try "generated" or even "completed" or "continued."
It might feel a bit awkward. (I know it does for me!) But I think it could be a useful experiment, at least, to practice reframing our relationship to these tools.

I use a an open-source tool called "rclone" to back up my data to the AWS S3 service; this data is then quickly migrated from the base S3 storage tier to another tier called "Glacier", which is less expensive.
The tradeoff for the savings is that files in the Glacier class are not immediately available; in order to be able to restore them I need to request that they be restored in S3 so I can copy them. Typically you restore them for a limited number of days (enough time for you to grab a copy) before it then reverts back to Glacier class.
The other wrinkle is: The files are encrypted. Not just the files but the file names and the file paths (enclosing folders/directories).
Here is the tricky part: The backup software does not have the ability to request a file be restored from files stored in the Glacier tier. I have to do that using the aws command line or the console. This is doubly tricky because I will have to request the exact file using the encrypted filename and path... not the name I actually know the files as.
So it turns out that rclone can actually tell me the encypted filename and path if I ask it correctly because of course they've dealt with this problem already. :)
I thought to myself "Here is a chance for ChatGPT to show its quality".
I'll skip to the chase:
ChatGPT gave me exactly the *opposite* instructions of what I asked for.
Instead of telling me how to get the encrypted filename path from the unencrypted equivalent it, instead, told me how to get the plaintext from the encrypted filename - which I didn't have. This is using the latest ChatGPT 4o, the very latest.
I question the usefulness of this kind of tool (meaning ChatGPT) for anyone who isn't an expert. I've done this long enough that I know of other sources to look at (such as the manual pages) but if you aren't that savvy I'm not sure how you would find the right answer.
The ability to regurgitate unstructured data with LLMs is amazing - almost magical when I compare it to other efforts to do the same that I have been involved in previously.
But the ability to summarize and present the data in an accurate, useful form is nowhere near acceptable.
