I'm a bit confused - when i see these signups, they look like this to me: rtwnj6tj7@privaterelay.appleid.com

I wonder how they plan to detect it something is LLM generated. I think what this leads to is people just working hard to make their outputs appear human generated.

I would also like to toss my project into the ring, which also allows mixing most real-world Rust & Go packages together, on runtime & syntax compatible level. https://github.com/deepai-org/omnivm Pardon the sl

It's true. Also, if you despise bloat, you may like my JS-free LLM site: https://ch.at/

I wonder if Windows NT could work? I think it had a MIPS port?

It's a fascinating article and trend to me. I've been rather obsessed with the amazing technology of text-to-image generation since 2017, when state of the art was an LSTM+GAN and resulted in a blurry image. Now that the technolog

This is super cool. If you're interested in this, you might enjoy this proof of concept as well: https://github.com/deepai-org/omnivm It instead embeds a bunch of runtimes onto the same OS thread.

What do you think is the incentive to LLM post on HN (or any site?)

It makes sense - i build something very similar for my company over the last couple weeks :) I have a tweak that allows pasting images to claude code over SSH: How it works: PTY Interception: It creates a pseudo-terminal (PTY) to wrap the S

Like others here, I disagree completely. I find them very fun, almost too fun, like intellectual crack. The craziest ideas are now within reach.

"Before microchips existed, computers were built with mechanical relays." Should probably say something about vacuum tubes as well!

Cool! Right now it's just IP address rate limiting and the costs have not mattered too much, but yes long term I am not sure what we'll do...

I can suggest our service (previously here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44849129 ) that might be helpful -- If you want a zero-setup backend to try qqqa, ch.at might be a useful option. We built ch.at — a single-bi

This is impressive and it also kind of demonstrates how bloated Windows really is. You can fit a ton more functionality into even 1MB.

My new theory, developing for a while, is that as technology makes things easier, the perceived average quality goes down over time. I've yet to fully understand the factors that drive this trend, but feel certain AI will put it in ove

Interesting - I somehow didn't realize that KVM didn't require root access. Also, I wonder if this could be adapted to use Apple's Hypervisor.framework. That one also doesn't require root and ought to be able to spin up

One interesting thing I forgot to mention: the server streams HTML back to the client and almost all browsers since the beginning will render as it streams. However, we don't parse markdown on the server and convert to HTML. Rather, we

Author here, was a bit surprised to see this here. I thought there needed to be a good zero-JS LLM site for computer people, and we thought it would be fun to add various other protocols. The short domain hack of "ch.at" was excit

Much of LA has some of the worst air in the country, so I think it selects for people who don't care about being poisoned by their environment.

Sounds like bloat removal and minimalism.

What optimizations did they do that had the biggest effect? can they be brought into the mainline linux kernel and distros?

It would be profitable even if we self-hosted the LLMs, which we've done. The only thing subsidized is the training costs. So maybe people will one day stop training AI models.

I've operated a top ~20 LLM service for over 2 years, very comfortably profitably with ads. As for the pure costs you can measure the cost of getting an LLM answer from say, OpenAI, and the equivalent search query from Bing/Google

by etaioinshrdlu 1y ago
This is wrong because LLMs are cheap enough to run profitably on ads alone (search style or banner ad style) for over 2 years now. And they are getting cheaper over time for the same quality. It is even cheaper to serve an LLM answer than c

LLMs are a key enabling technology to extract real insights from the enormous amount of surveillance data the USA captures. I think it's not an understatement to say we are entering a new era here! Previously, the data may have been co

It's worth remembering that the safety constraints can be successfully removed, as demonstrated by uncensored fine-tunes of Llama.
