Not sure what your point is - the articles they trained on are copyrighted and not theirs to open source. The only they can legally open source is the weights, which they have done repeatedly. My point is both Aaron was trying to make the

Climate change is real and contributes to this but there have been massive fires in this region for over a century - primarily from the artificially planted Maritime Pine forests. The 1940s were particularly bad. Look up the Great Fire of

I RFTA and the majority of the complaints are about call center metrics and the pressure to ration care. These are real concerns about misuse of metrics, but not AI. The AI empathy thing was a 2024 pilot that was discontinued. FWIW my wif

When I was a little kid I was playing a DOS submarine game which had a Boss Key. All I knew was the button makes it quit the game so my 6 year old interpretation was that it must be something you press when you get to the final boss and are

Testing for an extremely rare bacterium is not the bare minimum. In fact even the water treatment plants rarely do it. They admit in the article we don’t even know whether or not the bacteria originated from the water supplied by the city

It's wild but 80TB actually is modest compared to some of the enthusiasts on /r/homelab and /r/datahoarders that are running 300TB NAS servers at home. 80TB can still maybe fit in a single box. (8x10TB)

The Owens River source for LA is so good because it’s basically a continuous gradual decline from the source to the city, requiring no pumps. Pumping is very energy intensive. At around 2000-3000 ft the energy needed to pump fresh water st

A H100 uses about 1000W including networking gear and can generate 80-150 t/s for a 70B model like llama. So back of the napkin, for a decently sized 1000 token response you’re talking about 8s/3600s*1000 = 2wh which even in Calif

Steam, the Kindle Store and iTunes all had similar sales cuts since before the app store launched in 2008. It’s egregious now but at the time it wasn’t crazy because software developers often made way less than that when going through trad

Well that’s one interpretation. Another way to think about it is a good that we once bought for private use where it sat around underutilized the majority of the time is instead being allocated in data centers where we rent slices of it, al

They have 800M weekly active users that have yet to be monetized but enormous capital costs. It makes sense they'd be looking to raise large amounts of money in an IPO.

Firstly, I can tell you phone number verification made a very meaningful impact. The cost of abuse can be quite high for services with high marginal costs like AI. Second, all those alternatives you described are also not great for user pr

As someone who implemented phone verification at a company I worked for, it’s 100% for preventing spam signups intending to abuse free tiers. API companies can get huge volumes of fake signups from “multiplexers” who get around free tier

FWIW, I have USAA and had the almost exact same thing happen to me in 2020 - car stolen and totaled. They paid me a really fair deal on the cash back for the 2yo crosstrek. It probably helped that it was a cut and dry case - the thief took
