Quoting Andreas Kling
Simon Willison's Weblog54 days agoEthicsSimon Willison quotes Andreas Kling explaining Ladybird’s decision to stop accepting public pull requests. Kling argues that large patches once implied substantial effort, which could serve as a proxy for good faith, but generative AI has weakened that assumption. His central point is not whether code was typed by hand, but who takes responsibility for code once it enters a browser intended for real users.

Arithmetic Without Numbers: How LLMs Do Math
Hacker News (AI keywords)54 days agoCommentaryThe article asks whether LLM arithmetic is memorization, heuristics, real computation, or experimental assistance. It summarizes Rune experiments that decode operations and operands from frozen Llama activations, then route them to Python under a no-parser rule. The strongest supported claim is narrow: activation-derived tool arguments worked in scoped audits, while residual-state JIT replacement, long-number generation, and cross-model transfer remain brittle.

Fine-tuning an LLM to write docs like it's 1995
Hacker News (AI keywords)54 days agoTutorialThe author builds a corpus from old Microsoft manuals, cleans OCR text, generates instruction-style JSONL examples, and fine-tunes Llama 3.1 8B and Qwen 2.5 7B with QLoRA. Tests cover malloc(), a fictional Win32 API, and a deliberately anachronistic REST API prompt. Qwen fine-tunes transfer the period documentation style best, but the experiment also shows hallucination risks, tuning complexity, and why these models augment rather than replace technical writers.
