OpenPrinter 15 days ago

I looked into hackable printers 10+ years ago when building a demonstrator prototype of a bioproduced ink dye. The key challenge challenges is that they are an integrated system between mechanical, electronical, and chemical (ink formulation, surface chemistry) domains.

I would believe most relevant patents are now expired and that we should be able to build a printer that at least gives sufficient quality prints. Given sufficient motivation and time investment, that is.

Hmm. I am not so sure about that statement. There are many models at play in the market, not one model. What mechanistic patterns are driving those models that are falsified by this paper and lead to the outcome of increasingly extractive/stagnating economies?

My understanding is that in addition to your comment and the development of a method to separate the training data for distributed learning, the latency/bandwidth of systems connected on the internet is a challenge, too. Information has to be sent around before and after any hypothetical number crunching.

Thank you for your comment. I enjoyed it a lot. Good food for thought.

Your analogon is a bit leaky abstraction in the sense that it misses out on the broad stastical nature of LLMs. However, I find it is a good way to illustrate the potential industrial transformation.

It is hard to say what the future will bring. The original AsK HN post is definitly an omen for things to come.

That is incredible, but I must ask: Beside really getting to know Rust's trait and type system, and besides experimental / educational tinkering, could this have any practical use case?

"He was 38. Shortly before his death, he had mailed a manuscript describing a new three-electrode semiconductor device to Physical Review. The paper was lost in the wartime Atlantic. Five years later, Shockley, ..."

I wish the article had a reference for that claim.

I remember from my childhood that my father told me that in the old soviet system, publications from were invented and dated back in order to demonstrate the superiority of their science. Both sides might have done it.

Now, a story from my father is not strong data point. But falsification of scientific theories, statistics and publications was a thing in the Soviet Union [1,2].

Then again, the guy might have really done it.

How LLMs work 2 months ago

Could you perhaps cite the core papers for LLMs beyond „Attention is all you need“?

Just Use Go 3 months ago

I guess other languages that follow a stricter/larger compile time regimen e.g. Haskell, OCaml, Idris, ATS, F* would be suitable as well for this kind of approach. Like Go, OCaml seems to offer low compilation times.

This is not true for some cases e.g. there are stark differences in the correctness of answers in certain type of case work.

Depends what type of models you look at. There were many German designs that were much less prone to technical breakdowns due to pragmatic and mission focused design choices e.g. many of the Jagdpanzer ("tank destroyer") class like StuG II and Herzer were produced en masse and was very successful. Also, the Jagdpanther was a strong design.
