Remek Kinas thanked for the numerous comments, opinions, and ideas. He wrote that he was analyzing and implementing the gathered suggestions, as well as working on further improvements. He apologized for not responding to all messages due to their large number and announced that he would reply that day, particularly on LN, but also on X. He informed that he planned to introduce another change the next day. He advised people who felt that the changes were happening too quickly not to get upset. The slogan for the next day was to be "time is money," and the following days were to be under the slogans "small is beautiful" and "why not." #podziękowania #nowości #zmiany (translated)

Stereo Hodler said that another person had accused him that day of working for Santiago Caputo. He described himself as an independent citizen, very critical of the "kukas," and claimed to have created applications to make certain content more accessible and to help Javito win the 2027 elections. He added that he had never met Caputo in person, although he expressed his admiration and support for both him and Javito. #LoboSolitario #Elecciones2027 #SantiagoCaputo (translated)

Mickpl wrote that computer science graduates finishing their studies in 2026/27 find themselves in a difficult situation on the job market. He assessed that those starting their studies in 2021/22 could count on the prospect of an attractive career in an industry where recruitment was supposed to be easy, and employers offered, among other things, remote work and good salaries. According to Mickpl, currently very few employers hire juniors, who have to compete for the same positions not only with mid and senior level candidates. He recalled that previously, candidates only needed to answer three recruitment questions, and employers stated that they would teach them the rest after being hired. After two to three years of work, the salary was supposed to allow for a mortgage on an apartment in a good location, and after ten years — to pay it off. #informatyka #praca #absolwenci (translated)

Miguel Ángel Durán wrote that the use of artificial intelligence allowed for code to be generated at a speed that made it difficult to review and fully understand. He considered that checking the code before moving it to production remained important and responsible, although he stated that some companies pressured to skip those steps and move faster, as was the case with technical debt. Durán maintained that, although people did not have zero risk of making mistakes, he had recently observed an increase in software errors and vulnerabilities. He added that when he did not review the code, he would often ask the AI to explain why it had been implemented in a certain way. He also noted that he saw frustration among those who felt that AI had taken away an important part of what they enjoyed about their work, and asked how others were coping with it. #IA #Desarrollo #Ingeniería (translated)

Remek Kinas announced the release of basal 2.2, which—he wrote—introduces the basal-calibrate tool for adjusting model calibration to the user's local data. According to him, the tool uses labeled examples from a given process, and the data is not shared externally or used for training the model. Kinas stated that he tested the solution in a new field where the model had not been trained. He wrote that using the "1%" setting from the provided file would result in automatically accepting every eighth decision, with 8% of those being incorrect. After calibration on the user's data, the calibration error for choice questions decreased from 0.268 to 0.083. In the case of the verify statements, the model automatically accepted 54.8% of the cases and made no errors in doing so. The release also included FP8 and GGUF ports for basal-omni-1.0-mini and max, as well as MLX ports for Apple Silicon Macs: mini, max, and 1.1-max. Kinas thanked Piotr Durlej for GGUF export, Kuba Sołtys for implementation on Google TPU, Michał Kardyś for work related to AMD Strix Halo, user lukaspoloki for basal-viz, and Paweł Kiszczak for exports to Apple Silicon MLX. The author also expressed gratitude for the posts and comments from the past weekend. He mentioned that he had responded to some of them and then worked on further improvements; he also announced that he would publish comments in the evening. #sztucznainteligencja #uczenieMaszynowe #technologia (translated)
