It is just sad that commentary like this even exists. I sincerely am curious of the education that produces sentences like this. On one hand it is articulate and educated, on the other hand its amazing that one can think China is doing this

Why not? Zuckerburg has already realized that local social networks will be utterly replaced by AI chatbots, which are superior in like 99% of cases. It doesn't matter if others find "Facebook" icky, because the people who wo

You can pay for long term support from private companies. And your scientific context is a distinct minority for python now. Most new development for python is for data/AI. Considering LLMs get updated every quarter, and depreciated ev

Because python dominates AI, and python is dominating because of AI. And prompting really, really benefits from f-strings and templated strings. LLMs as a whole means the rise of unstructured data, and flexible string manipulation is really

Its a gigantic bet on user stickiness in AI, and the monetizable value of AI users who don't pay for subscriptions. Aka low-end consumers vs high-end consumers. Nvidia and AMD were low-end vs high-end. In the end Nvidia won a total vic

Do you worship the posting guidelines or something? Are you that offended by someone adding information to a post? The forum is a public one, not a 1-1 conversation. The poster added valuable information, that is interesting and not self-ev

AI just represents a new class of business, that doesn't need consumers or revenue or business plans. Traditionally you want to build a moat with name recognition, established customer base etc. OpenAI has absorbed huge losses to serve

If one compares O3-mini's coding abilities to the original GPT-4. It is as large as GPT-3 to GPT-4 gap GPT-3: Useful as autocomplete. Still error prone, but vastly better than any pre-AI autocomplete GPT-4: Already capable of independe

Most of social sciences today is 'degenerate' by your definition, at least a plurality of those researchers openly admit that following the evidence is not the highest virtue, but arriving at the most socially correct result is.

Indeed you can. This only affects the heavily subsidized usps shipping process. If your r&d cannot afford fedex you shouldn’t be doing r&d. For all the supposed panic and importance of this process, the poster didn’t do even a goog

Government is exactly a codebase. Government bureaucracies is essentially constricting human judgement to more robotic code-like behavior, that's the only way to build large systems. You say government is not like code, then what exact

Compelled speech is far, far, far worse than constricting speech by every conceivable dimension. Even in day to day interaction, forcing someone to be silent, is far more of a gentler 'social action' than forcing someone to speak.

DOGE is staffed precisely by the tech elite. Like 20 year old grads who are elite programmers winning competitions, that type. Are they not part of the tech community now? You highly overestimate the political homogeneity of the tech commun

This, the US is the country most willing to make daring bets on innovation. Europe will not spend even 0.1% of its pension/welfare fund on big research bets. The private investors their will only want real estate investments, not fancy

There's a titanic market with people wanting some uncensored local LLM/image/video generation model. This market extremely overlaps with gamers today, but will grow exponentially every year.

That's not true, and only seems true because of highly selective examples. Money can force people to work, out of the necessity of survival. What it buys is reliability. You can force a toilet cleaner to come to work day after day, and

There were no counters to cavalry for like 1000 years. The only generalized countermeasure to cavalry was cavalry of your own. This led to the dramatic territorial and genetic expansion of nomadic peoples, such as the Arabs and Turks. There

Investors are certainly not happy with stock dilution through the options. Its also a make or break period for generative AI. If I was at Nvidia and owned stock options, I'd certainly give it my all to ensure Nvidia can make hay while
