I've got bad news for you on the whole humans dying thing. Seems like actually literally everyone is going to die. Turns out that this has actually been happening for a really long time - possibly since day one - and we've got no

I'm surprised you feel like you know muse spark 1.3 performance well enough to question the validity of the index based on this benchmark result. Muse spark 1.3 was only released yesterday.

Usable certainly. But my impression is that useful models still need a bit more than 16GB. Something like Qwen 3.8 27B is useful but squeezing it into 16GB requires fairly aggressive quantisation which will make it unreliable (e.g it&#x27

What Jalapeño has done is pair huge bandwidth (almost as much as a full nvidia rubin) with a less powerful processing core. This means that even during the inference stage, when most architectures are bandwidth bound, they are compute boun

I kind of want to blanket recommend but that's not very helpful I would suggest starting with Andrej Karpathy's YouTube video: https://youtu.be/kCc8FmEb1nY?is=oiDsrBYJg_MUUmoD This video is excellent. I'm a

If this is the job of AI then why does AMD struggle to get the best performance on their hardware? Not enough LLMs?

I'm (more than) twice that age, but I've spent time learning this exactly this from videos by Andrej Karparthy and from books by Sebastian Raschka. I didn't do it because it was useful to me in a practical sense. It's b

Chris Lattner is now very very rich. Once his lockup expires he will not need to work for anyone. I'm sure Qualcomm would love him to stick around but suspect that they'll maintain mojo even if he leaves.

If you see someone incompetent being promoted then it's more likely: 1) You are wrong about them being incompetent 2) The person promoting them is also incompetent and has mistakenly promoted the wrong person. I have literally never se

I wonder the same thing about high taxes and state run energy companies. I don't think the UK ever really had an option to create a fund though. Deficit was too high. Doubt there would have been anything left to invest even with an in

In the article it's suggested that Norway could award a peace prize to trump in return for regulatory approval.

It would be nice if your local library hadn't sold their copy but I think your beef is with the libraries, or perhaps with the politicians who failed to fund them in that case. Actually I expect that a copy of most books probably is st

I look forward to the day that AI companies pay large advances for new books. It'll take a while before publishing collapses due to the availability of the same information via an LLM, but once this happens new books will get a lot mor

He's offering entertainment not investing advice. But he is very entertaining and has more than a veneer of authority. His early educational YouTube videos covering topics like derivatives pricing are genuinely very good.

Original headline is "Jane Street suffers $15bn loss in July market ructions". HN guidelines do request use of original title and in this specific case the change of title is misleading by implying that situational awareness direc

I downloaded the game and played for a few minutes. It's pretty competently put together although not really my kind of game. The problem is that as far as I can tell you are in a very crowded space now. There are many similar free t

Firefox provides one of two browser engines. If there's only one browser engine the Web immediately closes up like a giant impenetrable clam. All of humanity will be left outside, doomed to scrape forlornly on the shell with our nails

Thanks very interesting. Can imagine it being a pain.Ten is an unusual number, hard to divide evenly across hosts. To be honest I doubt you'll ever use them again, especially if you have dismantled the cluster and put them back in the

Why do you have ten or so 3090s sitting in boxes? I mean obviously it's worth it just so you can flex on HN. But curious whether there was any other reason? Retired scalper?

Pencil and paper are very definitely better, until you need to carry them around or search through them. The ease of filing/retrieving across a lot of notes is a huge advantage. Also the amount you can have with you. The sheer weight o

I think what you are describing is people being performative or superficial, not vain. Allbirds is definitely not vanity. That's a scam.

Using AI is vanity? I've never heard that before. Why is that? Refusing to use AI honestly seems more like vanity to me. Like "no machine could ever do what I do". That said I would not necessarily accuse people who don'

I found this touching. As someone who has tried to read a new kind of science, but struggled with the arrogant style, the love and respect this shows he had for his wife came as a welcome surprise. It has raised my opinion of Stephen Wolfra

If I'm squeezing enough margin out of my customers that I can afford to sponsor a football team with some of the leftover cash then you probably don't want to deal with me.
