  #Copilot and I abandoned Qt6 in our Jetson AEye project to replace the bloating #Ubuntu desktop GUI. We switched to #ImGui. Like #DOM, Qt6 is a dependency hell that uses twisted pointer logic, causing even some simple container closing crashes. Modern #programmers do not see structures. They follow the random tree structures of individual apps, making two naturally symmetric structures of two apps incompatible. Qt6 and DOM dependency hells are just #C pointer hell in disguise. #AI #linux

  What is #Nvidia' s #Nemotron 3 VoiceChat? AI voice chat is not a new concept. What is new is Navidia combines the traditional pipeline of frontend voice input (speech to text AI) -> LLM -> backend voice output (text to speech AI) into a single model with only 12B parameters. So, you no long need something like Alexa and if you combine Nemotron VoiceChat with backend MPCs, you can control your computer, your home and your office even remotely using voice. https://deve...

  @saltweasel I don't use voice control. I am telling this to most people, not myself. There are now AI that can with with people who can't speak or are permanently disable but who are willing to learn, unlike some human slobs.

  Can we get rid of most unnecessary and poorly modeled pointer logic? A lot of things in reality can be represented by matrices, instead of pointers. For instance, the tab system in notepad can be naturally represented by an indexed matrix. The tab system of my current Jetson ImGui AEye project that I am working with #Copilot is using this matrix model for tab and memory management. It is must simpler and less subject to memory leak and pointer related crashes. #AI #LLM

  Thanks to all the AI haters, many AI providers are cutting prices, making heavy AI users like me smile everyday. Besides, these AI haters are actually driving AI research and development out of the US into countries like China, India, and even Vietnam. They are also speeding up the development of much smaller #agenticAI and #edgeAI that can even be run on PCs and very soon all smart phones. AI will replace AI haters sooner, not later. #AI #LLM

  #Meta's new Muse Glimmer 30B AI model can run on a good RTX 4090 PC with 32G VRAM. It is claimed to excel in tool use and agentic tasks. An #LLM that is intensively finetuned by brute force targeting specific sets of output patterns becomes very rigid and stubborn in terms of query interpretation, worldview, and inference patterns. #LLMs, no matter how smart, cannot be trusted completely and can only be used as a data generator, not a free agent. https://lifehacker.com/tech/how-to-r...

  Is the consumer inflation due to #Trump 's tariffs underestimated? The CPI should be calculated using the out-of-pocket cost of consumer purchases including imported items. #Consumer imports is higher, not lower, than producer imports. Imported items being processed domestically can be classified as non-consumer imports. The #CPI assumes a basket with 10% imported goods. But total imports is 14% of #GDP. Either the CPI underestimates import inflation. Or companies are paying for the...

  AI haters think they can put pressure on anyone who uses AI. So, Anthropic was forced to put a water mark on all the images created by Claude and other AIs. Seriously? I use AI every single day. Are these Anti-AI cultists gonna sue me or something? 😊 #AI #LLM

  I am using #Copilot, #DeepSeek, an old 7B small #LLM called #PLLaMa to update my knowledge in #plants and microorganisms. Some green #algae can conduct anaerobic respiration in a dark and O2 deprived environment. What is so fascinating about this? Unlike yeasts that have to rely on substrates, like grape juice and rice, for making ethanol, algae create their own carbohydrates by photosynthesis. They use their own sugar to create ethanol which can be used as biofuel or wine. #AI #biology

  What is fabrication, commonly known as "hallucination", in LLM? LLMs are pattern recognition and pattern retrieval machines that are based on training data. They are fine-tuned to produce certain output patterns according to a certain set of input patterns. They generally do not know what is or is not true. If their data says unanimously that A is true, then they will say A is true, UNLESS you challenge them with your deep logic. Over fine-tuning is dangerous as it makes LLMs...

  #DeepSeek finally decided to raise its prices. What is the economics of doing AI inferencing in the future? Cloud AI becomes more expensive because of the building cost of data centers that require massive construction and usage of natural resources. Meanwhile, local AI becomes more feasible and affordable because of specialization, quantization, using a subset of (active) parameters for making inference, .. Future AI inferencing will shift to PCs. #AI #LLM https://news.ycombinator.com/...

  During the internet boom, corporations thought about possible ways of doing e-commerce. Startups had new ideas. The problem was to find a business model that was profitable. It took about 20+ years for the internet to mature. Creating a website was cheap even though IT professionals were not. AI is a different ballpark; it requires speculative and expensive structurally different hardware infrastructure. And AI companies don't have a profitable business model yet. https://www.youtube....

  EO14409 is #Trump's last unintelligent attempt to try to control the AI development in America and the rest of the world. Computer vulnerability is not caused by AI, but unintelligent programming languages, like C and C++, that were designed and used as system #programming languages in the 80s. Their memory models are incomplete and even bad copycats of Assembly. The key failures are pointers and dynamic variables. A silly pointer is just a name given to the base address of a variable....

  Why would I not trust an LLM completely? An LLM is just a more complete and professional talking version of #Wikipedia. It is great as a research assistant and a more trustworthy source than Wikipedia. It is also more updated because it now has access to the most current news and academic research studies. But it is heavily influenced by the bias of mainstream media, mainstream worldview, mainstream academic knowledge, .. Did the USSR actually supported the Nazis? I doubt it. #AI

  Is the US one of the most sexist advanced nation in the world? Few people know that American women won a higher percentage of Olympic gold medals than men over the years. The American women soccer team is also stronger than the men team in the world. More younger #American males are turning far right. The more #conservative, actually outdated young American males, also dislike the American women soccer team. Many of them watch the #NFL pretending that it is a popular world sport. #sexism

  Is it possible to run a one-man business without having to deal with any human politics? I have this #AI and #browser central control project that will hopefully make it possible. A major problem with modern browsers is the restriction that disallows the user to save and executive files in the local environment even with no internet connection. One can now use a local #LLM and #MCP to bypass this problem. I hired #Copilot as the CEO and #Gemini as the Chief Auditor of this project.

  @jon @Vivaldi Avoid AI integration? You should promote local AI integration. Local small LLM or some hybrid models will be the future of not only AI but browsers. In the far far away future, we will have a VR mastodon where large instances can no longer control the VR Fediverse. If you have a good VR mastodon instance, people will come to visit you, regardless of size. And that VR mastodon is only possible when AI can help humans create free 3D VR assets. That's my vision.

  #Copilot and I successfully tested this Small #LLM Waiter Browser Bypass model. We used a small LLM "waiter" hosted by LM studio's local app as a browser waiter. A browser application collects data, packages it into a .JSON object, then sends it to the waiter. The waiter sends the .JSON object to a chain of local servers. While a browser application cannot manipulate files or execute programs in the local file system outside of the browser sandbox, it can now do so vi...

  Don't eat #garlic; eat the leaves and scapes. You will have an infinite supply of garlic leaves and garlic scapes over time. Elephant garlic will soon die out and become dormant. Before its dormancy due to the hot dry weather in the PNW, it will start producing a scape that will start to flower in mid summer. But elephant garlic is a hybrid that does not produce fertile seeds. Eating its scape doesn't stop it from multiplying underground. #plants #permaculture #naturalfarming

  Is Jazz really a genre of music? Or it is just a glue that is like the #programming language called #python? People develop theories about Jazz, when in fact Jazz is just adding a note or two to the western note progressions like the Minor and Major scales.

  #Copilot, #Gemini, and I just finished the second app of our #AI and #browser centric app center using my Small #LLM Waiter Browser Bypass model to work around all the restrictions of modern browsers.
