Are there any deep learning books with some problems to solve ?

When I first registered in Texas, they told me that something didn’t match the details with Social Security and that they couldn’t process my registration. Unfortunately, they never told me exactly what didn’t match. After chasing Social Security and the county multiple times, I eventually figured out that someone had put an extra space in my middle name. The staff processing my request were very helpful, but unfortunately, they didn’t even know what exactly was not matching.

It’s really unfortunate that you have the burden of proving that your information is correct. It took me about 6/7 weeks to complete the entire process.

They also mail you a voter registration card (which itself isn’t useful anywhere), and if, for any reason, it doesn’t reach you, your name will be suspended from the list.

The whole process feels like it’s designed to discourage people from voting.

Is there any advantage to using the model from Unsloth compared with https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B-FP8 ?

My guess is that it's because of some vibe-coding stuff! We are using LLMs to write code, validate code and test the code ! What can go wrong ?

Isn’t it also destroying the internet with low-quality content and affecting content creation in general? Can LLMs still rely on data from the open internet for training?

I thought it was a parody! Is this really what Apple can do?

I like that way of thinking. Out of curiosity, what kind of things do you work on that you feel make a positive contribution?

32GB is the maximum memory configuration for the 14-inch laptop, which isn’t sufficient for running local LLMs. I think a Mac Studio or Mac Mini with higher memory would be more useful.

Thanks a lot for all of this ! https://tools.laszlokorte.de/

Just blame Obama/Biden for it and move on ! I am not kidding that's what you will hear.

I always wonder about this: What happens to their ads business? Also, what's the incentive for websites to provide data to Google if they’re not getting the incoming clicks? The generative approach seems to disincentivize both, right?

No, every one has to pay.

Ofcourse that is the case, with tariffs the demand for dollar also going down and leads to this !

Just curious, are there any techniques other than using embeddings, computing cosine similarity, and sorting the results based on that? RRF could be used but again its very simple as well.

"I understand your skepticism, but realistically, I don't see the case. Pakistan is in a very bad situation. The U.S. has cut off a lot of funding over the past decate. They were on the verge of bankruptcy a couple of years ago, and China bailed them out.

I believe it's mostly overstated. Pakistan is not economically strong enough to participate in a war, and India is not interested either. However, the Modi government wants to project strength. They were unable to locate the terrorists even after two or three weeks and needed a distraction. So, they targeted some areas in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). In response, Pakistan claimed to have shot down four Indian aircraft and a drone. However, so far, they haven't provided any pictures or locations to support these claims. Both sides will likely exchange fire along the border, and the situation will eventually calm down. Each side will claim victory in its own way.

I am a bit skeptical about all the announcements. Are companies really investing, or just making announcements? I wish it were the latter!

Don't know if whoever voted thought this through! We are undoing years of good governance, like Data.gov and this, now!

Reducing the number of managers is an interesting decision. I briefly worked at Amazon, and the only way for managers to get promoted is by hiring more people under them. There isn’t any other way to get promoted, which incentivizes managers to grow their teams and sometimes add features that may not make sense. Any opinions from ex-Amazonians?

Revisions happen all the time, sometimes more and sometimes less. https://recruitonomics.com/revisions-to-the-job-numbers-may-... It’s a headline now for different reasons!

Thanks for sharing the article. How exactly are you combining BM25 and fastText? Are you combining the TF-IDF score + embedding distance? What are the weights for each of these?

I don't know anything about this app, and this is the first time I'm hearing about it. Does this app somehow generate revenue? Is that the reason it took them so long to act? Or is it that so few people downloaded it, resulting in fewer complaints compared to the number of downloads? I know Google has been getting worse over time. I'm just trying to understand why it took them so long to act when they actively penalize smaller developers!

One of the big problems with Pixel phones is their lack of thorough testing. You upgrade and suddenly you encounter strange Bluetooth issues, call problems, or other features that were working fine before but suddenly stop functioning. Tons of people will be complaining about this in forums, and you won't receive any updates to fix them for months. IMHO all Pixel phones are just developer devices and you can't seriously use them as daily drivers. Adding more AI features won't help unless they start taking their customer service seriously!

Bring back the plain old google search without any of the AI! All I want is regular keyword search! I don't get any relevant results these days without adding additional qualifiers like site:reddit.com!

this is interesting ! do u know when they started doing this ?

That doesn't seem to reflect in the battery life of these. They have the same exact battery life. Does it mean it's not entirely accurate? Since they don't indicate the battery capacity in their specs, it's hard to confirm this.

Its not completely true. Check their popular gas models like telluride etc, you still have to pay above MSRP or some crap accessories to get the cars. They are selling gas cars extremely well.

I agree with the comment. Especially if you index these quantized vectors with HNSW you will get even less precision. You need to retrieve lot more and do a kNN with the FP32 vectors is the way to go !
