Worth watch. This lecture will enlighten you on how #LLMs are built. The importance of #math, tokenization, the training limits, and none of this is conscious. The first 16 minutes are key. #AI youtu.be/9vM4p9NN0Ts?... via @YouTube

I'm surprised by how little people understand technology. We've apparently reached a point where experts need to design a kill switch, and then verify that the AI will actually let them use it. -- Btw, I'm gonna leave this here. Ghost Dance - Erased. #industrial #techno

A worth-reading paper. This is all about AI constrained by human knowledge. AI hype showed up with the promise of novelty. Only humans, via heterogeneous beliefs and causal theories, can generate novelty through directed experimentation. AI is fundamentally backward-looking. #AI #LLMs #math

🚀This study may change how we train LLMs: The math doesn't change, but the model now predicts at two levels. Tokens get compressed into discrete concept vectors, and token prediction is conditioned on the next predicted concept, which is added back into the token hidden states. #AI #LLMs #math

D: We reached a limit. S: What the scientists told us about #AI not improving cause it is limited to human knowledge was true? We promised too much. What are we gonna do? D: Let's introduce fear and tell them we'll responsibly slow down E: But we need a sacrificial pawn D: Yes

In 2018, I coded this minimalistic WM, WIN3WM (GPLv3). It has 2 #retro styles: #X11 basic & #Windows3. I'm in full barbarian mode using it now. It uses 3-4 MB of RAM, making resource usage great again. I published it recently for instructional purposes. github.com/nmagko/wm

8/ It seems people aren't caring about memory consumption when coding. I can run complex matrix operations, even a random forest, with a small dataset in 128 MB of heap memory in my SBCL, but just an underscore that highlights a dead key consumes > 100 MB; it is unacceptable.

Victor C @nmagko.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
7/ But what I noticed was concerning: just removing IM frees +100 MB of RAM, seriously!? What happened to the code quality nowadays? I would accept 1 KB or 4 KB extra for that, but not more than 100 MB.

Victor C @nmagko.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
6/ I found it was related to the iBus IM (input method) of the system, which you can configure with im-config, so I disabled it. Then I got the classic input and correct behavior.

Victor C @nmagko.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
5/ Then, in Emacs, suddenly I saw this weird small window when a dead key happened (without a dead key, it didn't show up). It seemed related to the Desktop's underscore highlight with a dead key. So, it was Emacs's fault; I needed to remove it.

4/ Yeah, it was 2 hours, but that preserves the config, customization, and passwords of the current apps running on that laptop, which, with standard procedure (backup, reinstallation, restore, and fix customization), could easily take me a full day.
