Also, if the concern here is safety, open models completely derail that. Even if your someone who thinks open models are good for safety overall, a private model exposed only by an API point at least gives somebody control. How we should us

To be clear: I'm not trying to advocate for more corporate power.

by manlymuppet 4d ago
Corporations certainly don't have the same goals government does, but human nature applies universally. I'm not saying that corporations should have exactly the same rules and structure as government does, but perhaps many of th

I'm not advocating for corporations to have equal power with governments, though. I think that's generally a terrible idea. Looking at any organization with power and people involved, perhaps we can use the same ideas that tradi

That was my intuition at first too, but the original comment specified that they weren't borrowing all this money they're spending. The article also says how this is part of NVIDIA's strategy to enable demand, not create it,

Maybe a dumb question but how is NVIDIA increasing the total supply of money? Only the fed can actually order more money to be "created". Private companies can only work within the existing supply, that is, their reserves, no?

I've always found it interesting when corporations start acting like public institutions. When traditionally philosophical, social contract ideas apply to things like corporate governance. Or like here, where private structures get pow

Somewhat unrelated: is it wrong to say mathematics is not art, and that there is always a right answer? I know that's not romantic, but maybe it's true. Before LLMS, programming was something I might've said required creativi

I think this will become the new standard.

Is it fair to say the same applies to writing? It feels like so often when I'm reading something (really anything--blog posts, essays, the news) the words I'm reading are there for their own sake, not because they need to be there

This is probably one of the things that excites me most about AI. Companies can now just afford to maintain a hundred different native apps, rather than settle for a write once, run anywhere approach.

Tailwind is still considerably easier to work with than vanilla CSS. You just have to write less.

I'm having a little trouble understanding what you mean. > I agree that there can be a tendency to conflate the two things: how advanced the technology is, and how aesthetically pleasing what it produces is. It's also imp

It never was a guarantee. But it is worth fighting for cooperation, rather than accepting it cannot be anymore.

Perhaps the author is trying to distinguish themselves from LLMs.

by manlymuppet 11d ago
I agree. LLM writing is atrocious, but people also want LLM writing to be atrocious in many cases, because they don’t like LLMs. The worst of this is with image/video AI models, where the results today, although still very imperfect

This post uses far too much punctuation. Makes it jarring to read.

Allow me to be anal for a moment, but what is the point of doing “if I remember correctly” for something like this? You can very easily look up exactly when Lina Khan was appointed and get answer very quickly. Is it not worth the effort che

I don’t think America is so far gone. We have issues sure, but I for one still believe that we can be better. Trump be damned, Europe and America are stronger when they work together.

I think we are stronger together. European technology has been critical to many important American space missions, and that should continue to be the case. An ecosystem where we develop things independently is one where everyone loses.

I have nothing to say about the actual model, but unrelated--why do so many of these demos include people buying things autonomously? Even if I did trust an AI to get everything right, it's not like the AI can read my mind. If I was or

What’s particularly bad about Zitron is his financial analysis. Some people have the idea in their heads that “yeah, Zitron is wrong about a lot of things, but his economic data and analysis is tight.” That couldn’t be further from the trut

A tactical style for playing the game of football (soccer) that's really fascinating to me. From Johan Cryuff in the Netherlands, to Barcelona with Pep Guardiola, Lionel Messi, and now Lamine Yamal. And Spain recently won the World Cup

Well the two--building for power users vs for a general audience--often work against each other. And trying to satisfy every audience at once is a good way to satisfy none. You don't want your app to be a Jack of all trades; focus is r

Power user experience is not the same thing as user experience in general. If you want to make the argument that all developer tooling should be keyboard-driven, fine, be my guest. But most people aren't willing to deal with the learni

As much as I dislike this administration's actions, why? Doesn't the Department of Defense get discretion to contract for whatever reasons it likes, as long as they think it serves public interests? If Pete Hegseth, who is albeit
