Ask HN: Best foundation model for CLM fine-tuning?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-21 20:08:40

Hi, I have a largish (2 GB) corpus of curated, high-quality text in some low-resource language, and I want to build a model that would provide an advanced "auto complete" service for writers. I'm thinking of taking a decoder-only model such as Llama, Mistral or Gemma, slice off the embedding layers (which are based on unneeded languages), create new ones (perhaps initialized based on a FastText model trained on the corpus), paired with a tokenizer newly created from my corpus, then train the m

Audio version is not yet available By Finn J.D. John January 26, 2025 AS LEWIS AND CLARK’S Corps of Discovery made its way across the continent to Oregon, the men (and woman) of the party probably weren’t thinking much about their place in history. So they weren’t taking any particular pains to document their every movement. There were, however, some particular pains they were experiencing with every movement, so to speak ... as a result of a relentlessly low-fiber diet: Everyone was constip

Installing UEFI Firmware on ARM SBCs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-25 09:37:08

I am a huge fan of my Rock 5 ITX+. It wraps an ATX power connector, a 4-pin Molex, PoE support, 32 GB of eMMC, front-panel USB 2.0, and two Gen 3×2 M.2 slots around a Rockchip 3588 SoC that can slot into any Mini-ITX case. Thing is, I never put it in a case because the microSD slot lives on the side of the board, and pulling the case out and removing the side panel to install a new OS got old with a quickness.

A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-25 05:00:37

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was enough to throw off the AI's medical advice. Now, in a new interview with the Boston Globe, study coauthor Marzyeh Ghassemi is warning about the serious harm this could ca

‘Call of Duty’ May Enlist for a Movie Adaptation

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-25 09:30:12

Activision Blizzard and Microsoft’s Call of Duty franchise could take its blockbuster success to the big screen. According to Puck’s Matt Belloni, Paramount is currently negotiating for film rights to the long-running shooter series. Getting this IP is said to be a “tough priority” for new Paramount head David Ellison, since it’d be another major gaming property in the studio’s portfolio after Sonic the Hedgehog.

PopSocket grips might be closely associated with smartphones, but they work surprisingly well with most e-readers.

Bitwig Studio 6 details revealed, and editing gets a big boost

We get it. After years of DAWs leapfrogging in similar directions, the new generation of music tools made it easier to start projects, get inspiration, and improvise. But sometimes they played catchup on editing and automation. Bitwig Studio 6’s details are here, and it feels like editing automation, clips, and more are looking as fresh as those other tools, all in an updated UI. The beta is out now.

Are people's bosses making them use AI tools?

This is not the usual type of content you will have come to expect from Piccalilli, but I feel like this topic, specifically, is an important aspect of our work to cover because as I see it, making or encouraging your development staff to use AI tools in their work is extremely short-sighted and risky. I want to support that stance with some conversations I’ve had with people actually doing the work and their mostly less than favourable experiences. I asked this across question social media:

Compositional Datalog on SQL: Relational Algebra of the Environment

I spent some time before making Datalogs that translated into SQL. https://www.philipzucker.com/tiny-sqlite-datalog/ There are advantages. SQL engines are very well engineered and commonly available. SQLite and DuckDB are a pretty great one-two punch. A new twist on how to do this occurred to me that seems very clean compared to my previous methods. Basically, the relational algebra style of SQL actually meshes with manipulating the Datalog body environments (sets of named variables bindings)

Agent Client Protocol (ACP)

The Agent Client Protocol standardizes communication between code editors (IDEs, text-editors, etc.) and coding agents (programs that use generative AI to autonomously modify code). The protocol is still under development, but it should be complete enough to build interesting user experiences using it.

Meta will sell you refurbished Ray-Ban smart glasses for $76 off - how to find them
