awwaiid commented on Tell HN: Happy LLM Day · Posted by u/christina97

ChatGPT was not the first LLM, or even LLM product. If I had to venerate any AI-based accomplishment, it would be the publishing of Attention is All You Need and subsequent documentation of the transformer architecture.

Fine... I guess it could be happy ChatGPT day then? Putting a hosted version of it out on the internet and letting people use it is very clearly a very small step, it even surprised OpenAI that it caught so many people's attention. But it did. It is an interesting milestone that shows what happens when you connect people with a new technology, a new concept, and see what they do with it.

I was very confused until I realized the author was Steve Blank not Steve Klabnik.

This ploy is already working for me ... I had tried it before and now I'm trying it harder.

> 58.9% TypeScript and 32.6% JavaScript

Isn't that just 91.5% JavaScript?

TypeScript is not real.

Something's bugging me about Atlas - it's clearly Chromium-based (you can tell from the user agent and UI), but I can't find any credit to Chromium anywhere. No license info, no acknowledgments, and when I try to access chrome:// pages they're blocked.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but shouldn't there be some transparency about what you're building on top of? Especially with open source projects that have attribution requirements? I get that it's still early days, but this feels like a pretty basic thing to get right.

Anyone else notice this or know if this is standard practice? Just seems odd to me that they're not being upfront about the foundation they're building on.

awwaiid · 2 months ago

I asked Atlas about this, and it indirectly pointed out that atlas://credits is a thing. Not linked to anywhere that I could find though.

I ask Manus to write a script to demo my CLI tool and use asciinema to record it. It's perfect

Whole process: https://www.pgschema.com/blog/demo-with-manus-and-asciinema Replay: https://manus.im/share/8fEln1OzxpnsRSU1PnHweG?replay=1

Very minor and tangential request for future recordings - show the shell prompt and/or put the commentary in shell comments (prefix with "# "). A step closer to IRL.

Speaking of which, an interesting thing to contemplate is if it is worth automating what you did, or if making the videos happens rarely enough that you'd start from scratch with a new manus or other ai session.

I’m pretty sure input tokens are cheap because they want to ingest the data for training later no? They want huge contexts to slice up.

awwaiid · 4 months ago

Afaik all the large providers flipped the default to contractually NOT train on your data. So no, training data context size is not a factor.

This is horrifying. Please, go on. :D

How do I give it a base URL for API calls so I can point it at my ollama server?

awwaiid · 5 months ago

It is using the llm library, so you do the plugin and model management through that. Let's say you've already gotten ollama installed and the `gemma3n:e2b` model. Then you use the llm cli to add the ollama extension:

  llm install llm-ollama

and then you use whatever model you like, anything llm has installed. See https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/plugins/installing-plugin... for plugin install info.

Here is a sample session. You can't see it ... but it is very slow on my CPU-only non-apple machine (each response took like 30 seconds) :)

  >>> from gremllm import Gremllm
  >>> counter = Gremllm("counter", model="gemma3n:e2b")
  >>> counter.value = 5
  >>> counter.increment()
  >>> counter.value
  None
  >>> counter.value
  None
  >>> counter.value
  None
  >>> counter.what_is_your_total() 
  6
  6

... also I don't know why it kept saying my value is None :) . The "6" is doubled because one must have been a print and the other is the return value.

…I read the whole article at OP’s link, many comments off this thread…I even clicked into the college course material in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44468452 …and not once did it occur to me why it was called “wet mode”…not once…

…until your comment. Here! Take my “lived through the 80’s and 90’s” card.

awwaiid · 5 months ago

Hm. I'll improve the documentation to make it slightly more obvious. When I add after_midnight with malicious compliance mode and bright_light() to freeze implementations then it should be more obvious.

Love it, I am here for exactly this sort of playful boundary nudging.

"Wet mode" is such a fantastically awful name. Definitely make me think twice about turning it on.

awwaiid · 5 months ago

You know... Because if you get them wet they multiply, per the documentaries
