frag··on Laya (OS Jev) on Mac M4 CoreML Offline (45 decisions per second)
Great job! Did you finetune your own Laya for the snake game or what?
frag··on Laya on Mac M4 CoreML Offline
that's not a local LLM. If it's local, it doesn't matter in this case. Laya is a System 1 "AI", namely works like a classifier, given a state and questions, it shoots probabilities for each. I publish an episode tomorrow about Laya and Typesafe AI on https://www.youtube.com/@DataScienceatHome

Stay tuned ;)

frag··on Welcome to Cognitive Capitalism
who are you? police? lol not sharing my notes. If you wanna read, cool. If you don't, cooler.
frag··on Welcome to Cognitive Capitalism
Thank you for noticing! I’ll keep writing my thoughts and express them in clearer English with the tools I (we) currently have. One day, when Italian becomes a global lingua franca, I’ll wow you even more with my fluency :D

Thanks for reading!

frag··on Welcome to Cognitive Capitalism
You are very wrong. I polish my non-native english with Ollama and deepseek. Content is my own. Like on my podcast (datascienceathome.com) that exists way before GPT was even a name.

frag··on Is Rust a good fit for business apps?
Took 6 months to migrate to Rust almost 90% of our commercial stack at amethix.com, 4 years ago. Since then we all sleep better.
frag··on Why OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek Won't Reach AGI
Exactly. What I consider a patch and definitely a symptomatic solution is "solved" via agents that search the web (e.g. asking for the weather forecast of this year - in that case the LLM cannot know the year I am referring to, if not via a web search). Generally speaking, LLMs lack direct temporal awareness. Standard models do not model the flow of time unless explicitly. Some models can encode a model of time when trained on sequential video data and rely on external encoders to provide temporal structure. But that is a very narrow application (video in this example). That cannot be considered a generic form of awarenes of time as a concept through which facts can change.

true that

and we also see with what consequences
frag··on How They Control You
Fair points, and I appreciate the depth of your critique. You’re right—broad appeals to "moral evolution" can feel hollow without actionable solutions or a deeper analysis of the mechanics involved. My intention wasn’t to provide an exhaustive exploration but to spark a discussion, which your comment does beautifully.
frag··on How They Control You
Just to clarify: I don’t consider myself a Democrat (in the context of US elections). In fact, if I were American, I definitely wouldn’t have voted for Harris.

I referenced Trump and Meloni as case studies simply because they’re among the most recent examples. That said, I firmly believe two things:

1) The masses have an incredibly short memory. 2) It’s not just the right that engages in this kind of manipulation.

frag··on Test-First Machine Learning
Exactly. The tests are concerned with integrating the ML component into the broader picture of requirements and engineering. Engineers are not really interested in why the statistics of a model is failing. And should never be (that's why testing model internals in TFML is an anti-pattern)

I want to cry... remembering the old good time of C programming... ohhhh
frag··on Google Cloud is 50% cheaper than AWS
what AWS is giving for 1 year is really really minimal for a PoC or testing stuff. A small website would already get into trouble
frag··on Deep Learning ‘ahem’ detector
interesting
frag··on Deep Learning ‘ahem’ detector
lol... how about forking from github and train a model on Elon. I hate his euhmm thing so badly!! :D
frag··on Deep Learning ‘ahem’ detector
the neural network is just like a baby brain. If it is fed with Keith Jarret, yes it will also learn to deal with that
frag··on Deep Learning ‘ahem’ detector
the entire project is on github. In the folder data/ there are some samples to "see" it in action. Otherwise you have to train it on your voice and apply to whatever sound you like
frag··on Deep Learning ‘ahem’ detector
Exactly! With just 5 epochs and some hours on a low budget GPU I got 81% accuracy. Not bad at all, considering that no knowledge of MFC & Co. is required.
frag··on Deep Learning ‘ahem’ detector
That's right. This is not state of the art. LSTM is good for sequences and sequential data (like audio). But with the approach hereby described, prediction can be done in parallel and asynchronously. Which is something ;)
