    Are they hitting the wall really? I doubt that. I think you are talking about a very particular usage case - chess playing, on transformer models which were evolved for verbal interaction and are not specifically suited to the particular task. This is not AGI where the AI replicates ALL human...

    We crossed there Tony in sending our posts. Just to be clear, this is a local model running at home. The system prompt from the Page Assist UI is ignored for some reason. Individual prompts need to have the instruction about output format. That works, but its a real pain having to include...

    Well, I had a go at training it not to make tables, which it does all the time. This model is from Openai and is a derivative of Chat-gpt. I first tried to include a command in the system prompt of the interface I use to interact with the Ollama model. On my chomebook I run a chrome web browser...

    Have you noticed the numbers of 'Turkish Barber's Shops' there are these days. They have a bored looking migrant lad, looking at his phone for most of the day and VERY few customers. Any normal business would shut down, with the level of trade they have. These don't. I can't imagine why they...

    I'll tell you something that impressed me the other day when my French niece was here - I was telling her about my locally run AI Ollama engine and she wanted a try on it. She addressed it in french and it responded in perfect French. This may be an obvious thing, but I'd never thought it would...

    Were the models trained on chess or in any way designed to play chess? The models used were unless I am mistaken, Large Language Models. I have never thought of using an LLM to play chess, so I asked my Ollama AI running google's gemma3n:e4b model locally on my own mini pc, if it could play...

    Yes - I can't understand when I keep seeing pictures of my aged father that were taken yesterday. He died 14 years ago. :) I remember when this started a while back and I would walk into a shop and see my dad's reflection in the glass window. 'I'm not like that! Surely?

    She is quite tall. :) Yes - they were low. I pumped it up two days ago.

    I apologise that I did not see this post from a week ago until now. I do know what you mean about some offenders. When I first retired about 14 years ago, someone I knew who was a magistrate said she thought I should consider applying to be one. I'll give you a moment to collect yourself and...

    People did want BREXIT. The people who voted for it still do want it, though many of the original voters have now died. The ONLY reason BREXIT wasn't a success for us was the spiteful reaction from the EU to ensure that it damaged us economically and in convenience of travel. There was no need...

    I generally take pictures, but sometimes regret not having done so. On the other hand, many of those I do take are so rubbish that I delete them soon after getting home - especially any with me on them. :) When I went out with my niece last week we came across a herd of maybe a hundred sheep...

    6 year old on a dirt bike in traffic…

    I don't think I am going to try and answer speculative questions about an invented scenario which has nothing to do with the event we are discussing; a six year old child riding an electrically powered bike down a busy road in traffic - entirely unsupervised. We are lucky that we are not...

    Police Check

    I have been saying elsewhere on the 'Talk to yourself' part of the forum, that there will likely be a great political upheaval in about four years time. Following such an event if it happens, ideas like 20 minute neighbourhoods and removal of normal freedom from ordinary people will end up in...

    I would not have been seen dead on a bike like the Cheapo Argos one a few years ago, but it really suits the sort of use you just described - at least for me. It would not suit everyone, I am sure, especially if they were a lot heavier than I am. As you say, the speed is lower than many other...

    I don't think the delivery riders need an e-bike that goes faster than the regulations allow, and I don't think they need a more powerful motor than is allowed, so I am not sure about the suggestions you made. Any rider who wants to go at moped speed can just get a Chinese moped and be done...

    6 year old on a dirt bike in traffic…

    It is good to be generous minded like you are and to give people the benefit of the doubt... I am rather less accepting of really bad parenting and am thinking about how much supervision they gave the child - looks like none at all, and also how we should regard a parent who gave a child of...

    When you get that new battery (36v 10Ah) from PSW Power, I would be interested in whether it would fit the Argos bike we both have. I'm thinking long term here. I rode my Argos 15 miles yesterday and even up hill, it was still showing four leds indicating battery voltage. The weather was warm -...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have explained my reasons in detail above. I note that you made no attempt to address the issues I raised. None. Your reference to freedom of movement is rather bizarre. This is a concept which applies only inside the EU Shengen area of similar high value economies . It does not apply...
