Nice Work! Take note of the usage of aluminium extrusions, if you're not familiar with them, take a look, they are very handy and not expensive. I've built a 10 inch mini rack with them, really handy.

This isn't how it works. Hundreds of billions are spend on existing NVIDIA AI hardware that must first be recuperated. This kind of speculation doesn't make sense to me.

1. Does this make money 2. Does this warrant the unsubsidized cost of AI? 3. Does this justify the harmful externalities of AI? I don't need personal anecdotes. I want evidence that organisations make more money, get more efficient (an

Where’s your proof? No anecdotes plz.

by louwrentius 2mo ago
Taking your anecdotes at face value for a moment (which I should not), how does this benefit of AI you describe justify the nearly 1 trillion dollar investment? Do you think that your perceived increased productivity offsets the true, unsub

This mostly reads like wishful thinking about the future, that's not a basis to make decisions on right now.

The chassis is not connected to ground, tbh. Not really.

All that output needs to be checked, thus why making mistakes faster doesn't seem valuable. How do we determine mistakes are made in the first place. Is it determined by people?

That word 'some' does quite a bit of heavy lifting. Because there is a ton of work that people tend to perform that falls out the scope of that 'some'. And a lot of work requires alignment with other people, and so on. L

LLM by their nature can't really replace people. Companies found this out from experience, as they fired and rehired people multiple times, you've seen the articles.

I've played this game so much on a Laser (Dutch computer brand) 286 with VGA monochrome screen, in the early '90s.

I'm going against the grain but I read: we have a cultural/policy issue and we 'fix' it with tools. I think what you hear is never the whole story, there is much more going on.

Nothing happened to the Nerds. They are all showing their true colours. They may have shared a love for technology, what they also shared is a deep immaturity. The immaturity of a person not wanting to acknowledge and cary any responsibilit
