Following that logic, they’ll have to keep spending quite a bit to get to the user base of the current hyperscalers, some of which are already ahead of OpenAI in terms of LLM performance.

Not entirely sure if you could use it, but wondering if you’ve heard about the origin private file system feature of modern browsers? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System...

The same goes for anything that provides value right? If you make some useful software, by that logic I should be allowed to copy it and use it in whatever way I see fit (including commercially), no matter what license you used?

Is it just me or is Hono being astroturfed pretty heavily on HN lately

Wouldn’t they still need to pay tariffs on all the parts they manufacture in china? Maybe I’m misunderstanding the tariffs but it sounds like Chinese companies would have to build completely separate supply chains to keep the US market

Obviously there’s a balance to be struck here. We could legalise fentanyl and tell people to just not use it, but that probably wouldn’t have a very positive impact on society. At the very least we should acknowledge the negative externalit

Hundreds? The bread and games thing is literally a quote from the Roman Empire, and I’m sure they didn’t invent it themselves either.

Social mobility index doesn’t really look at how easy it is to become very rich (I.e. get into the 1%). This is also explained in the methodology section of the article you linked.

But in gaming, real time means something different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timekeeping_in_games#Real-time Context matters.

You’re forgetting Canada. You’re also glossing over the fact that despite losing to the nazis, the occupied countries didn’t exactly just roll over when they got attacked. And during occupation there were resistance movements in those count

Arguably Google is ahead. They have many non-llm uses (waymo/deepmind etc) and they have their own hardware, so not as reliant on Nvidia.

Isn't that just the LLM equivalent of hardcoding though?

Plenty of indie musicians nowadays that self-publish on platforms like Spotify and YouTube. That just wasn’t possible 30 years ago.

Well, it’s going to be hard to talk their way out of that one.

Overfitting on test data absolutely does mean that the model would perform better in benchmarks than it would in real life use cases.

The article asks the following: > I can’t help but wonder if there’s a reaction-diffusion-model-esque effect at work here as well There are continuous approximations of the game of life that show this, for example this implantation: htt

Anonymous functions don't have names. This makes it much harder to do things like profiling (just try to find that one specific arrow function in your performance profile flame graph) and tracing. Tools like Sentry that automatically l

> they’re not art directable or dynamic This is not true I believe. There are plenty of papers out there revolving around dynamic/animated splat-based models, some using generative models for that aspect too. There are also some too

Can’t you just instruct your llm of choice to transform your prompts like this for you? Basically feed it with a bunch of heuristics that will help it better understand the thing you tell it. Maybe the various chat interfaces already do thi

> because they and their family get enough Bürgergeld, that actually working would lower their income This means it’s not UBI, and that’s kind of the whole point here. With UBI this welfare cliff wouldn’t exist; if you work, you still ra

This assumes people just stop doing anything of value if there no longer is a proverbial stick in the form of financial ruin if they stop working. Nobody is saying that the carrot (personal financial gain) needs to be removed from the equat

I think it’s true that people in Europe feel that welfare is part of the problem here. In the Netherlands for example, one of the main right wing talking point is that refugees are given free social housing which could have gone to locals t

The way the brain does it is by giving users a largely untrained model that they themselves have to train over the next 20 years for it to be of any use.

If that’s true, you could make a killing by creating soy bean based food products and actually marketing them properly.

So we should just give up on trying to accurately price externalities until we’ve found a way to include all of them? (Hint: we never will, so that would mean never taking action)

On the flip side: in some cases there are downsides to regular checkups, in particular false positive diagnoses leading to medical operations causing more harm on a population level than if the checkups hadn’t been done in the first place.

> big loops or loops with unknown bounds at compile time That’s not allowed in webgl, so I doubt TSL can make it work somehow.

I think it’s questionable whether you can actually use this bit count to represent the amount of information from the book. Those 1200 bits represent the way in which this particular book is different from everything else the model has inge
