Or they just publicly collude to slow down expenses because they are running out of money so why not stop the arms race.

In the savanna it’s not about who outruns the lion but who outruns their peers escaping the lion. Frontier labs need these headlines not for human progress but as beauty pageant for investors and government agencies. If they don’t do maths

Code cost is almost down to zero. If you move the point of “just leave it to the machine” from the compiler (where humans used to do the coding) to the high level logic (now with LLMs) then in most cases more code does not really matter. Li

Longer stem means bigger case. The case on the Pro is nice, the regular one not so much.

As a pretty avid Star Trek watcher from childhood, I found most of the things there technologically plausible other than the conversational nature of the ship's computer. Well, LLMs now are far more impressive conversation counterparts

I find I still add value, but I don't know if my value is real. Am I just biased and expect things to be done a certain way and penalize the model for doing something different? and am I providing the model with enough high quality con

I share the sentiment but the question here is how long can we maintain the balance point where the human in the agentic loop is required. It might be a window lasting only a few years, or for the foreseeable future; I think the answer lies

These inventions all stopped disrupting the world and just became a part of it. The question is whether LLMs are going to just take their quiet place, or profoundly change (or eliminate) humanity in a self-feeding frenzy towards singularity

We need purpose, as a species; after all we left the caves for a better life. Desires make us human, the pursuit keep us busy and entertained. There is no passion without wanting, and without passion what is the reason for living?

People need purpose. Workplaces provide a very structured, highly managed, perpetual treadmill of purpose. Not purpose in the "self growth" sense, but just something to keep people occupied. "The devil looks for idle hands&qu

Zitron is providing a service: he's running the train for those who want to believe, or sincerely believe, AI is a bubble. His interviews are apocalyptical one sided rants that confuse what is with what Zitron thinks should be. I'

FWIW I run a clinical analysis backend and directly compared Luna with DSv4 Flash 0731 - DS was a bit ahead, and cheaper even considering it used 40% more tokens. The exposure to Deepseek made me question the valuation house of cards built

I pay $200 a month at home for roughly the same amount of tokens I pay $3k for (or possibly more) at work. I doubt they are both profitable and sustainable.

I'm really sorry you have these strong feelings, however, the first two links don't even mention Israel, and the third quotes the closest thing Israel has to a Nazi party, of which I assure you there are plenty in many countries.

It takes a big leap of faith for real companies with a real P&L to hand out token budgets in the thousands far and wide across their teams. The ROI is very easy difficult to demonstrate. I've been thinking about it a lot and I thin

Ben Gvir is the minister responsible for domestic security (primarily police, firefighters etc), with no effect (beyond his position in the coalition) on the warfare policy in Lebanon or Gaza. He's not even responsible for Shin Bet (

Gaza attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023. Lebanon joined Gaza’s offense on October 8th, 2023.

It is bad faith to use Ben Gvir as a representative for Israel, let alone Israelis. He received less than 5% of the votes for parliament and only got to his ministerial position due to the extortive nature of the Israeli political system.

Ah yes, Israel has really thrown all of its economical and technological might behind this campaign to the tune of $100k. It was either this or another nuclear sub.

There’s no company that has “no sensitive stuff”, from HR to financials to customer data to board presentations to engineering IP and they all, without exception , entrust their data to cloud services for at least a decade now. Even governm

Meanwhile I can't really tell the difference between Fable and Opus for my tasks. I kinda think Fable does a better UX work so I keep using it for that because I couldn't be bothered to A/B them, but otherwise it's all t

I routinely use the RSSI indications in my UniFi WiFi (thoroughly recommended) to find various kids devices around the house. You go by AP first (each section has its own), then each room tends to give its own RSSI, give or take.

Look at it the other way: compared to the cost of training a model, the cost of making a custom ASIC is trivial.

by flyinglizard 2mo ago
Products, yes, because the barrier to making a product had fallen off a cliff (both in developing the software and the marketing/sales fluff around it). But are those products converting to business results? Are those quality products

Or even the basis of the cost of hardware. There are lease deals, capacity traded for equity, various programs by Nvidia, there's absolutely massive depreciation, etc.

I'm curious about the process. How such a thing (or any kind of model lobotomy) is done?

The Israelis are the only ones that can, and want, to strike back. Besides no one weeps for missiles falling on Israeli cities, so that doesn’t serve the Iranians at all. Lots of much softer targets for Iranian missiles which can’t do anyth
