jiwidi··on Spain train crash: 'At least 10 dead' in high-speed collision
Yeah, and seems like the automated systems have been failing a lot recently. Or that they didnt correctly designed them for this case.

This means the health of those systems and mantinability by whoever was responsible hasn't been well done.

I agree with you, once the only thing and death is a human, nothing can be trusted, humans will make mistakes.

jiwidi··on Spain train crash: 'At least 10 dead' in high-speed collision
Exactly, this can't happen. You need to put measures on this.

Both the maintenance issue and bad systems that lead to human error creating this crash need to be taken responsability by the public system and fix them.

jiwidi··on Spain train crash: 'At least 10 dead' in high-speed collision
Another one.

The public minister of transport is still on his chair after the last ones. No responsability admited and blaming the far right for attacking him with media.

Is amazing how the current politic scene at spain has shittified, they get away with everything and ppl will still clap for them.

jiwidi··on Jiwo 0.8B – Pushing the sub 1B decision models leaderboard
Spent the weekend turning small LLMs into decision models, with some good results and a lot of learnings along the way. Topping the decision index leaderbard for their categories https://huggingface.co/spaces/multimodalart/jev-decision-ind... Sharing a 0.8B model, when evaluated on the decision Index it tops the sub-1B category, 45.7% above the best other Qwen3.5-0.8B fine-tune on the leaderboard.

Most of work was data calibration, finding external datasets and readapting them towards this scenario, so i expect a lot of improvements and work like this to come from community and push these numbers even higher. Even more if we get qwen 3.8 releases for these model categories.

I wonder, how different is this now from qwen trained rerankers like zeroentropy ?
jiwidi··on We Write Code by Hand
big agree here.

People dont seem to realize prompt to code is just another interface. Is the human review part that we should care about, did this code get reviewed and reiterated on? Is it fully AI generated and reviewed?

Those are the important tasks.

Whoever feels like a better programmer because they write all the terraform files by hand and not use an llm, dislike.

jiwidi··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
My mistake for calling it "copy", should have said fork maybe (?)

They are awful close to still require a reference to the original project imo. They are achieving the same output (identify birds and display them in a frame display all hosted in a raspberry pi) with that twist to how to generate the art.

jiwidi··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
That's fair, and I totally get wanting to give it your own spin.

I still think it would be good to acknowledge the original project that sparked the idea, especially now that you've mentioned it was one of the inspirations.

Definitely keep going with yours and evolve it further. That's how good projects grow. But for a healthy open source community, I think we should make a point of crediting the people whose work inspires us. Otherwise, over time, it can discourage people from sharing their projects publicly in the first place.

jiwidi··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
Yeah agree

I understand OP is continuing the work and improving it as he sees fit, but that in my mind is a fork and should aknowledge the initial work that sparked it.

Maybe i'm wrong tho and this is completely parallel work! Waiting for OPs reply

jiwidi··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
Its awful close with no attribution or mention of the original project, which should be the minimum i feel like.

See original opus 4.6 sitting at 16% hallucination and the retest on 12th of april at 33%

They definitely must be doing some quantization or optimization to meet demand, otherwise why would model performance degrade this much? It's been crazy for me personally

Hi Boris,

Long term claude code user here. Is the first time i've had to setup a hook to codex to review claude output.

Is hallucinating like never before

Is missing key concepts/instructions in context like never before

Is writing bad code that will "pass test" much more. Before it use to try be critic and do good code, now it will try to hack test and bypass intructions for a green pass.

tell me what pc with an nvidia gpu can you buy with same memory and performance.

I never liked apple hardware, but they are now untouchable since their shift to own sillicon for home hardware.

jiwidi··on Show HN: I built a tech news aggregator that works the way my brain does
Very interesting, how do you do that? Do you limit yourself what you feed or via custom instructions? I had a similar case so would love how you are doing the prompting here.

In my case we went with embeddings and clustering to find close papers to each other because llm were allucinating.

jiwidi··on Nvidia's RTX 5090 power connectors are melting
NVIDIA made the 12V-2x6 port retro compatible with the previous 4000 series 12VHPWR. If you make your port compatible with past gen and it breaks with it its a design flaw, dont make it retro compatible.

This is not a user error, this is NVIDIA design error.

jiwidi··on California teacher dies from suspected rabid bat bite
I think is the unreasonable ammounts that people end up paying in US that make it crazy to understand for non US.

For me as an European, i see anything related to healthcare as core to our society. You mention food, if i dont like an apple from a vendor i can just have another fruit that is cheaper this season. I wouldn't have that choice to change meds for my current ilnesses.

Yeah sure someone has to pay for it, but do meds need a 10000x markup compared to the 2x markup on food? US is such an advanced country in terms of science and tech that is scary to think people still die due to not being able to pay their cancer treatment.

jiwidi··on Oasis: A Universe in a Transformer
So basically trained a model on minecraft. This is not generalistic at all or whatsoever. Is not like the game comes from a prompt, it probably comes from a bunch of finetuning and gigadatasets from playing minecraft.

Would love to see some work like this but with world/games coming from a prompt.
