What does it mean to run a model 24 hours a day? Aren't we way way past that already? QPS to any of the frontier models for a given point in time is most likely (far) greater than zero.

Probably worth not getting too comfortable. It's only a matter of time before a new generation of product people can do this. Also, I have said this before, instead of 1 product person and 10 engineers on a team, you may have 2-3 produ

There are a lot of assumptions there that are not verified.

This is extremely simplified, and not realistic. One counter to this is markowitz portfolio theory, or "diversification effect".

Some specifics would be a great addition to this comment.

Unfortunately, maintaining an opposite list would probably be easier.

> if the virus and its DNA are undetectable then you can't spread it The devil may be in the details. E.g. if a COVID test shows negative, it doesn't mean that you can't spread it. This is partly because different tests ha

Out of curiosity: what is your input to the model? A CAD file or a drawing? I find it does a good job at isometric views from floor plans. However, I needed Gemini 3.1 Pro to be able to have a chance at rendering 3D human point of view imag

Here is a repro using GCE's C4A Axion instances (c4A-highcpu-72). Seems to beat Graviton? Maybe the title of the thread can be updated to a larger number :) ? I used the largest instance to avoid noisy neighbor issues. $ ./ou

Perhaps the role will merge into one, and will replace a good chunk of those jobs. E.g.: If we have 10 PMs and 90 devs today, that could be hypothetically be replace by 8 PM+Dev, 20 specialized devs, and 2 specialized PMs in the future.

I don't know the specifics of this case, but maybe the investigators just asked in case there was an accidental trigger, or a real trigger etc. Seems reasonable for the detective to attempt to turn over any stone they can to aid the in

Also, for a lot of people working on hardware, the alternatives aren't great. Big Tech players like Apple, Meta, Amazon, etc. all have downsides. Startsups are extremely risky, and don't pay employees as well (ex: Humane, Rabbit,

Sure, and someone else can say otherwise. Comparing anecdotes doesn't provide a global view, IMO, and can lead to incorrect conclusions. Maybe better to look at data instead, e.g. Netflix ad-supported plans vs ad-free plans, or YouTube

Interesting. On lmsys, Gemini is #1 for coding tasks. How does that compare? https://lmarena.ai/?leaderboard

I think there should be a distinction here. E.g. if you work on a browser, possibly implementing parts of image loading, or javascript parser, etc. Are you consider a dogfooder if you use the browser? or do you need to lots of write Javascr

Future can be 6 days from now or 6 centuries from now. This statement is useless without specific details.

Yep, and I have yet to see evidence of this being a huge story for those people. He's no Messi or Bieber or Swift.

Performance is more than just media playback. E.g. smoothness of the UI, input latency, etc. all matter. Sometimes you also want to play a video at 2x speed, or play multiple video at once (e.g. sports use case).

Please also consider that suburbs are often much cheaper to rent a 1800 sqft of living space (say a decent 3 BR 2 Bath) vs the city.

I read that, but it doesn't really make sense in context.
