I’d like to invest time into the Linux gaming ecosystem. Though it’s a little daunting that so much of the work would need to be done by Nvidia and major game studios that don’t really care. Windows just feels irredeemably mediocre at this

You can use a framework that abstracts all the WASM to JS communication for DOM access. There are many such framework already. The only issue is that there’s a performance cost. Not sure how significant it is for typical applications, but i

What was it? I would also like a rec in this genre.

True, it may be profitable for pro users. At $200 a month for ChatGPT Pro, it may only take a few years to recoup the initial costs. Not sure about energy costs though. And of course you’d be getting a worse model, since no open source mode

Perhaps said software could even form an end to end encrypted tunnel from your phone to your local LLM server anywhere over the internet via a simple server intermediary. The amount of data transferred is tiny and the latency costs are typi

Not sure about the Mac Pro, since you pay a lot for the big fancy case. The Studio seems more sensible. And of course Nvidia and AMD are coming out with options for massive amounts of high bandwidth GPU memory in desktop form factors. I lik

That feels like.. something the compiler should be optimizing for you? I would certainly be among those questioning this code.

That’s the dream with dependent type systems, but from my very limited exposure to them, it seems like it’d be very difficult to encode complex constraints like all of your company’s business logic in this way. Not saying it can’t be done,

I also have no idea on the numbers. But I do know that these same companies are pouring many billions of dollars into training models, paying very expensive staff, and building out infrastructure. These costs would need to be factored in to

I’m talking about how it impacts society in general, not you specifically. Also, I don’t think you appreciate how deeply AI will affect your life in the future. The next time you get a CT for example, it might be an AI system that finds a l

You must be living on a different planet if you think the adoption and societal impact Groupon was ever remotely comparable to AI.

Qualcomm has a lot of money and Arm wants it. They’re not shy, but greedy.

At what point in time were we ever responsible adults with technology? Deepfakes have the potential to totally destroy the average person’s already tenuous connection with reality outside of their immediate vicinity. Some will be fooled by

Yeah, why would ARM prevent other companies from paying more for the better license? All they care about is that companies buy an ARM license, not that they use the boilerplate ARM CPU design. Those designs are there to make it easier for c

They design much more in house than any other smartphone brand, except maybe Samsung. CPU, GPU, neural processor, image signal processor, U1 chip for device tracking, Secure Enclave for biometrics, a 5G modem (only used in the 16e so far)…

Arm licenses their designs to everybody. They are okay, but you are never going to make market leading processors by using the Arm designs.

Outsourced to who? The only companies with the engineers you’d need are the other CPU makers like Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and Nvidia. And none of them make a CPU as efficient as Apple does.

Sure, but society is full of fools. Plenty of people say social media is the primary way they get news. Social media platforms are super spreaders of lies and propaganda.

I think many people just really dislike Zuckerberg as a human being and Meta as a company. Social media has seriously damaged society in many ways. It’s not perfectionism, it’s a desire to dunk on what you don’t like whenever the opportunit

The type system still allows organizing and abstracting code in standardized ways. Static type checking is nice and is certainly my preference, but dynamic type checking doesn’t mean no types. It means the types are checked at runtime.

by brokencode 1y ago
I'd be fascinated to hear about the author's experience using Clojure for something as complex as a compiler. Was the lack of types an issue? Or was the simplicity and flexibility of the language worth the tradeoff?

That is the most made up sounding fact I’ve heard in a long time.

Ok. But what are you even reacting to? Who is saying that it produced a working product? As you said, the very title of the article acknowledged that it didn’t produce a working product. This is just outrage for the sake of outrage.

We don’t know whether ChatGPT gave medical advice. Only that it suggested using sodium bromide instead of sodium chloride. For what purpose or in what context, we don’t know. It may even have recommended against using it and the man misunde

What do you mean recirculation? Isn’t the money flowing mostly in one direction (to Nvidia)?

I’m not calling what you’re doing a hallucination. I’m saying that what an LLM does is in fact memory. But it’s a memory based on what it’s trained on. Of course it doesn’t have a favorite ice cream. It’s not trained to have one. But that d

All you’re doing is calling the same thing hallucination when an LLM does it and memory when a human does it. You have provided no basis that the two are actually different. Humans are better at noticing when their recollections are incorre

The whole point of AI is to replicate human intelligence. What else should we be comparing it to if not humans?

by brokencode 1y ago
I genuinely believe that human brains are made of neurons and that our memories arise from how those neurons connect. I believe this is fundamentally lossy and probabilistic. Obviously human brains are still much more sophisticated than the

by brokencode 1y ago
You could say the same about humans. Have you ever misremembered something that you thought you knew? Sure, typically we don’t invent totally made up names, but we certainly do make mistakes. Our memory can be quite hazy and unreliable as w
