No woman CEO ?

It's sad that games like battlefield 6 use an invasive anti cheat that forces the use of windows and secure boot... But aside from this, my transition from win 10 to linux mint has been seamless


I'm a bit troubled with the phrasing

> most AI companies will slightly change the way their AIs respond, so that they say slightly different things to the same prompt. This helps their AIs seem less robotic and more natural.

To my understanding this is managed by the temperature of the next token prediction which is picked more or less randomly based on this value. This temperature plays a role in the variability of the output.

I wasn't under the impression that it was to give the user a feeling of "realism", but rather that it produced better results with a slightly random prediction.


> To my understanding this is managed by the temperature

This is true, but sampling also plays a fairly large role. The model will produce probabilities for the next token, temperature will modify these probabilities somewhat, but different sampling techniques (top-K, top-P, beam search, others) will also change these probabilities.

> I wasn't under the impression that it was to give the user a feeling of "realism", but rather that it produced better results with a slightly random prediction.

My understanding is that it's a bit of both. If the AI responded exactly the same way to every "hi can you help me" prompt, I think users' would call it more robotic. I also think that slightly varying the token prediction helps prevent repetitive text


I've found motivation to work on a project I stopped lasr year. It's an interpreter for the duckyscript language to run it on a raspberry pi pico.

https://github.com/leogout/rasper-ducky

Duckyscript is a language for the USB rubber ducky that costs approximately 100$. A usb rubber ducky is an usb key that gets recognized as a keyboard and that starts typing text and shortcuts automatically once you plug it to anything. To specify to the key what to type, you can use duckyscript.

I'm using circuitpython. The last thing I did was to de-recursify the interpreter with a stack.

The more I'm implementing of duckyscript, the more i think that i should create my own language. Duckyscript sucks as a language...


It also dissapear if you shake your phone (or computer screen but it's harder)


I subscribed to the mailing list of void long ago to be notified once the alpha opens, but i've never recieved anything. I forgot about it until today.


We've been holding off on this until Void is out of Beta.


Tried tiramisu and cheesecake, got no results, gave up...


I wouldn't say that this applies to me because I do not intend to turn my life around for every piece of entertainment I read / watch. We could apply the same principle for movies, shows, music, etc. but I think this kind of mindset would lead me straight to burnout. Thanks for sharing your point of view, take care.


Why is that on the fp ?


I guess because Kagi is a search engine that gets a lot of attention as of late. I suppose they need funding, but I'm not sure just posting the store link in here without explanation is the right way to go, especially to those who don't know what Kagi is.


Javascript is a bit trickier i think nowadays with the fat arrow notation : const myFunc = () => console. log("can't find me :p");
