Typically it’s tied to other components and pulling the fuse will take out other things like infotainment, speakers, etc.

Much of the gaming market is phone games however, not traditional consoles or PCs. Edit: about half in fact! The rest is shared between the other traditional gaming types.

That 15B also includes people buying 5090s for local LLMs. And it’s maybe 5-10% of their revenue at lower profit margins. Consumer cards just don’t matter very much to nVidia anymore. In 2020 it was half of their revenue.

How does this work in two party consent states? It seems nuts on the face of it. I guess they devolve liability onto the user and wash their hands of it?

It became insane because nothing bloody worked without Javascript some time in the early 2010s. Like cellphones, javascript became necessary if you want to use webmail, access your bank's website, or whatever.

Anthropic does not control the last 15 years of my digital life. Or the method by which I reset accounts for other services. Or my phone.

It feels like I’ve got TikTok brain for coding and have trouble staying focused on the boring grunt work of coding (like threading an API change across the required stack). I can still do it but it requires more willpower than it used to in

Yeah, if anything the problem is that the output uses too many words for too little signal, and incorrectly uses confidence based on insufficient information to the degree it’s clearly bullshitting.

If rent no longer rises then the profit doesn't rise commensurately with demand, so the money isn't there to build supply. Rent control crushes supply to the degree that the rent control caps rents below the actual market rate. If

An experiment doesn’t say anything about user facing or not. I do tons of them when reverse engineering poorly documented hardware and APIs to determine if the thing I’m trying to do is even supported.

You need to adjust your AI detector. I read the whole thing and it reads exactly like all the Claude reports I spend all day reading when I’m using it to write code or investigate something.

It's not inconsistent if you think of it as the finances falling apart regardless of how useful the tool is.

The claims and data are interesting (perhaps overstated in the usual Claude way) but it's about 20x more prose than is actually justified.

Interesting piece, I just wish the author had presented the data and their thesis instead of making Claude vomit out 20 pages of trash around it.

Why can't they call it a prototype or experiment? Sheesh.

I'm guessing conservatively at least 10x that were sickened given how few people actually go to the doctor when they're sick.

17K confirmed cases means some multiplier unconfirmed. That is not "tiny", especially given the geographic area it covers. It's a massive failure of our food safety and yet another sign the institutions that have been syste

It's a lot like AWS. Yes, the uptime is likely to be better than your on-prem solution. However, unlike when yours inevitably falls over and has zero impact on anybody else, when AWS falls over it wipes out entire swathes of the intern

LLMs remade Clippy. This sounds like using Microsoft Bob to manage them.

Allowing allocations to fail is a solution. Alas, not one that was made back in 1970, so here we are.

Yeah, the lack of hardware interlocks are part of what makes it a (literal!) textbook case for software engineering ethics. I remember talking about it several times over my college career, and for good reason. To this day when people start

Windows uses eager memory allocation, and applications will die when they allocate (and think image editor loads a beefy image) or fail to start when it runs out of memory. Linux uses lazy allocation and overcommits, so what dies isn’t nece

I’m working at a company where everyone is using LLMs for everything and I’m not aware of anybody using anything truly genetic. It’s all human in the loop babysitting the tool.

I think the parent's point (and perhaps the article author's point) is that he didn't spend his entire time there. He spent long enough, but not too long before he connected with the existing body of work, but now with a way

Every technology, every action has a moral aspect to it. Just because you want to ignore it doesn't mean it's not there. Society then decides on what morals we want to uphold, or at least tolerate, vs. those we want to change. Law

The problem is one of expertise, sometimes general, sometimes specific. If you don't know better, you don't know better to question what the AI says. I've seen this in the work environment with a coworker who insisted that I

I don’t know how you stop the slop writing. What the LLM writes has the voice of whatever has been RLHF’d into the weights. There will be a voice. It will have ticks. They can change it but it will be there. I do like that I have a term for

Look at the glacial retreat around the mouth of the fjord (which is why tourists go to the town) and yeah, the amount of change is insane. Any particular iceberg isn't that interesting, but the source! That’s the sad part.
