Mac (the hardware) is amazing. MacOS (the OS) is much better than Windows. But MacOS (the user interface) is worse than Windows (or even Linux).

I hate MacOS UI. Red/yellow/green buttons to close(?)/minimize(?)/maximize(?) windows are usability hell.

First observation: if you use social media, your privacy is already decimated. So the article is not really defending privacy; it's simply defending social media. (Under-16s are an important demographic they don't want to lose). T

Interesting reading. They are still focusing on "catastrophic risks" related to chemical and biological weapons production; or misaligned models wreaking havoc. But they are not addressing the elephant in the room: * Political ris

Considering the advances in software and hardware, I would expect that in 2 or 3 years. And I hope we will eventually reach a point where models become "good enough" for certain tasks, and we won't have to replace them every

Even as a principal engineer, there is an infinite number of things you don't know. Suppose you get out of your comfort zone to do something entirely new; AI will be much more helpful for you than it is for people who spent years devel

The scary thing is that Amodei only opposes to domestic mass-surveilance. He doesn't seem to care if the DoW uses his AI for international spying. That's one more reason why Europe needs sovereign tech.

To run Llama 3.1 8B locally, you would need a GPU with a minimum of 16 GB of VRAM, such as an NVIDIA RTX 3090. Talas promises a 10x higher throughtput, being 10x cheaper and using 10x less electricity. Looks like a good value proposition.

I'm not sure if this is real account or AI slop -- possibly a mix of both. But the US is a f*cking dystopia at this point. How come the richest country of the world - the model of capitalism - allows so many of their citizens go homele

The easy solution would be to use something like Amazon S3 to store documents as objects and let them worry about backup; but governments are worried (and rightly so) about the US government spying on them. Thus, the not-so-easy-but-arguabl
