The word annualized is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Annualized how? They could've picked the week after the launch and mulitplied it by 52. That isn't an accurate way to estimate run rate. (Because it doesn't take into

Speculation: open models is what will kill Anthropic and OpenAI. Hyperscalers can run the models without a licensing fee. Apple can make them smaller and put them on the device. The frontier models are an edge and a liability. They're

Lots of good advice here. I also read one book a week and wanted to add my POV. I don't put any special effort into reading books during my downtime, as the OP describes here. I just read when I feel like it and before bed.

Here's my take as someone who was using Claude everyday for every little thing and now I've deleted my account because I didn't like what it was doing to my mind. What goes totally unmentioned in the article is that this feat

Thanks for this. I've been trying to learn this writing thing on top of my full-time job and it's been a struggle. It's helpful to hear how you managed it.

I don't see any mention here of books sold by Tor. All their books are DRM-free.

How does Andrew manage being a full-time software developer and an author? Both jobs are so cognitively demanding.

Hey, OP, consider sleeping with ear plugs. They're scientifically proven to reduce night time awakenings due to audio disturbances. [1] [1] https://academic.oup.com/sleep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/

This is what keeps Amodei and Altman up at night. Their whole moat is data centers. But what if we didn't need the data centers?

The "hiding from researchers" framing is particularly bad. The parsimonious explanation for why a model produces different outputs when it detects eval contexts: eval contexts appear differently in the training distribution and th

I see a lot of people are confused about the electricity claim so I'll elaborate on it more. The assumption I'm making here is that on device people will run smaller models, that can fit on their machines without needing to buy ne

LLMs on device is the future. It's more secure and solves the problem of too much demand for inference compared to data center supply, it also would use less electricity. It's just a matter of getting the performance good enough.

I don't think this idea could work. There's this common misconception that our brains control our bodies, like how software can control hardware. The fact is that our brains are intrinsically connected to the rest of our body: via

While it does not seem to include inference done on your local computer, to me it feels like a precursor for doing so. To my mind, inference at the edge is what will kill inference in the datacenter. Inference at the edge is more secure, fa

Brandon Sanderson often says in interviews that "laying bricks" is the best job a writer can have. He also says being a software engineer is particularly bad job for writers because you cannot do it on autopilot. I can confirm. Ba

The number of submissions to high energy physics category on arXiv is double this year compared to the historical average. The author hypothesizes the increase is due to papers being written by LLMs.
