CodeWriting that changed how I think about PL | Max Bernstein
Every so often I come across a paper, blog post, or (occasionally) video that completely changes how I think about a topic in programming languages and compilers. For some of these posts, I can’t even remember how I thought about the idea before reading it—it was that impactful.
Otto Preset & Sample Pack For Ableton Move & Note V1 FREE
12 Ableton Move & Note Presets / Samples - Handmade by Alijaa.Included in this FREE pack are: 9 Drift presets all built with custom multi-macro mappings to create deep, unique sounds and textures that can provide a lot of tone variation. Certain parameters have been locked / left out of the available macro controls to distinguish the instrument / preset from others available and provide distinct character - There is a lot of harmonic and textural variation to be had by experimenting with the macros and by utilising Move's automation, you can craft highly dynamic, evolving sounds. 3 Melodic Simpler / Sampler Presets / One Shots for Ableton Note, which can be transferred via cloud sets to the Move and saved as presets on your device (until hopefully Ableton allow Simpler / Sampler Instrument exporting natively). These are quite simple layered sounds, taken from my studio instruments / piano in my home. I have designed these presets to represent the tonal palette and color I seek out in my beats and productions. The presets lean toward warm, soulful vibes while maintaining the flexibility to produce gritty, warped textures. Experimentation is key—the modulations and interactions are made to feel musical, achieving a tricky balance in the synth world.Best of all, I've named all the synth presets after my cat Otto. He is a nightmare.Pack Breakdown: 2 Bass Drift Presets 4 Keys Drift Presets 3 Lead Drift Presets 3 Melodic Simpler Presets / One Shots Document with macro functions / descriptions & instructions to load into Move & Note Any feedback or requests welcome...This is a small pack to start with but I am already working on V2 which will have more melodic 1 shots captured from my studio and instruments / sounds I encounter. <3
Abbiamo rincoglionito anche l'intelligenza artificiale (di A. Sarno)
Le allucinazioni nell’intelligenza artificiale, ovvero risposte false ma convincenti, sono in aumento, e l’uomo è il principale responsabile. Errori nel feedba…
La scrittrice e giornalista Vauhini Vara raccontava la propria esperienza con GPT-3, una delle prime versioni del generatore di testo di OpenAI.
Sono migliorati nei calcoli, ma più imprecisi sui fatti.
Senza controllare questi errori, il valore dei sistemi rischia di svanire.
Il modello o3 di OpenAI ha avuto un tasso di allucinazione del 33% nel test PersonQA (che consiste nel rispondere a domande su personaggi pubblici), più del doppio rispetto al modello precedente o1. Ancora peggio è andata al nuovo o4-mini, che ha raggiunto il 48%
L'errore umano si infiltra nel processo di addestramento dell’intelligenza artificiale in due momenti chiave. Il primo è durante la fase di feedback umano: i modelli come quelli basati su RLHF
Il secondo punto critico riguarda i dati di addestramento. L’intelligenza artificiale apprende da tutto ciò che le viene dato in pasto: forum, articoli, blog, commenti, spesso pieni di errori, distorsioni o informazioni non verificate
La soluzione? Far apprendere le AI da sé, attraverso tentativi ed errori, generando dati sintetici
La soluzione? Far apprendere le AI da sé, attraverso tentativi ed errori, generando dati sintetici. Un metodo efficace per ambiti oggettivi come matematica e programmazione, ma che si complica nelle scienze umane, dove la verità è spesso un’opinione.
Dopo che Ghosts, divenne virale, Vara continuò a sostenere che alcune delle frasi più potenti erano nate proprio da quel confronto con l’Ai. Col tempo però, notò che i modelli successivi erano diventati più piatti, prevedibili, pieni di cliché

JavaScript modules
This guide gives you all you need to get started with JavaScript module syntax.
All modern browsers support module features natively without needing transpilation. It can only be a good thing — browsers can optimize loading of modules, making it more efficient than having to use a library and do all of that extra client-side processing and extra round trips
The first thing you do to get access to module features is export them. This is done using the export statement
For example, the imports key in the import map below defines a "module specifier map" JSON object where the property names can be used as module specifiers, and the corresponding values will be substituted when the browser resolves the module URL.
Script files used by websites often have hashed filenames to simplify caching. The downside of this approach is that if a module changes, any modules that import it using its hashed filename will also need to be updated/regenerated.

Why does Anubis use Proof-of-Work? | Anubis
Anubis uses a proof of work in order to validate that clients are genuine. The reason Anubis does this was inspired by Hashcash, a suggestion from the early 2000's about extending the email protocol to avoid spam. The idea is that genuine people sending emails will have to do a small math problem that is expensive to compute, but easy to verify such as hashing a string with a given number of leading zeroes. This will have basically no impact on individuals sending a few emails a week, but the company churning out industrial quantities of advertising will be required to do prohibitively expensive computation. This is also how Bitcoin's consensus algorithm works.
Third Party Cookies Must Be Removed
Third-party (AKA cross-site) cookies are harmful to the web, and must be removed from the web platform. This finding explains why they must be removed, and examines the challenges in removing them. We highlight some use cases that depend on third-party cookies and offer some examples of designed-for-purpose technologies that can replace them. Specification authors are expected to ensure they do not undermine the benefits of removing third-party cookies when proposing new web platform technologies.

What I've learned about writing AI apps so far | Seldo.com
I started writing a post called "how to write AI apps" but it was over-reach so I scaled it back to this. Who am I to tell you how to write anything? But here's what I'll be applying to my own writing of AI-powered apps, specifically LLM applications.
A battle I've already lost is that we shouldn't call LLMs "AI" at all; they are machine learning and not the general intelligence that is implied to the layman by the name. It is an even less helpful name than "serverless", my previous can
