That’s some bad rounding. 1/6 is 16.6̅% which they rounded to 17%. Sensible. But then they were more concerned with the displayed percentages adding up to 100%, so since 17 x 3 =51, they show 3 votes, exactly 50% of the votes, as 49% 😳

Poll with 6 responses, first 3 got 1 vote and show 17%, last item got 3 of 6 votes and shows 49%

The point of the image is to highlight a bad rounding decision.

I spent some more time working on Retort, ran a lot of experiments and tuned the output evaluator to measure what I think is important. Did the LLM implement the full spec? Is there good test coverage and working tests? How long did it take, and how much did it cost? Easy to run your own experiments, and test on your own code, with statistical (ANOVA) modeling of the results.

Good article about quantized models, "The Model You Audit Is Not the Model You Ship".
#AI

Frequent readers know that I often think about LLM-“AI”,
and that I think, um, poorly of it.
Most of my objections are systemic in nature, relating to climate, resources, extractive capitalism, job displacement, tool of the oppressor
-- you know what I mean.
But I can see how one could get a similar kind of joy to successfully guiding a deeply flawed program with a conversational interface, until it produced a program sort of like what one had in mind...

Spent way too much time agonizing about whether to rip out the VCCINT regulator on the switch board to upgrade it for a 20A module with more headroom, or keep the 12A module I had planned.
Looking at the datasheet it seems the MYMGK1R812 and 820 are pin and footprint compatible lol. It should be a drop in replacement possibly with some passive changes.
Gonna make a quick oshpark test board to validate ripple and thermal performance just to be safe but the swap seems a no brainer …
