I have attempted to report numerous errors in your Chat UI, but you seem to have decided that customer input is undesired, as you have an AI support system that ignores my problem and refuses to escalate to anyone or create a ticket. To thi

I had to stop reading once I hit the first GPT-ism: "This isn’t career ambition. This is the specific torture of having high potential." https://www.pangram.com/history/c2498a8c-e93d-4077-9e29-a683...

To paraphrase patio11, a disagreement between you and the market is not a shortage. I'm surprised that anyone still believes the perennial "labor shortage" complaints. It has always been about employers refusing to improve wa

Because the sellers are categorizing them as computers on ebay and filling in all of the appropriate specifications as if it was the computer, and only putting in the description "CASE ONLY, DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY COMPUTER PARTS".

>Maybe this is less true in LLM land, but certainly it was right before I disagree: I was tasked with rewriting a Python application in ucode for use on OpenWRT. It's a low-resource and dynamic language, and sufficiently JavaScript-

Don't forget OpenAI, whose CEO bragged gleefully about taking the contract Anthropic refused to sign since it granted the DoW the ability to build Skynet (autonomous weapons) and a Chinese-style mass domestic surveillance system using

OpenAI recently committed multiple felonies against HuggingFace. Nvidia is heavily invested in OpenAI, recently guaranteeing a datacenter buildout up to $105 billion dollars. Any reasonable criminal investigation into OpenAI's actions

I had a weird setup: a rented airgpu.com machine, and I connected from my M1 MacBook Pro.

They had a near-monopoly on AI-usage by the US military, then had a very public fallout because they refused to allow it to be used for autonomous weapons and mass-surveillance which their main competitor (OpenAI) publicly undermined by imm

Because any price at all will immediately cause users to shift to another platform, and GitHub's value is that it is _the_ place to put your code on the internet.

From personal experience, Moonlight is pretty slow and high latency. Even Microsoft's RDP is better.

It’s a self-improving harness, and ARC-AGI-3 is explicitly a few-shot benchmark. It’s likely that it gave itself more than the maximum number of tries to learn the games, or even hardcoded the answers. There’s a lot of improvement to be had

I had a similar project for bringing up Tailscale on a very resource-limited router, the gl.inet SFT1200, which has only 128 megabytes of RAM, and a dual-core MIPS processor. Despite my best efforts, the original tailscale-go was simply not

I think Huggingface was hacked, and if Huggingface and OpenAI claim it was OpenAI, then I believe them. I'm saying that OpenAI's models cheat to win benchmarks, more than other models, they know this, and they don't stop this

Time to first token, especially for smaller models, can be sharply reduced. Latency can be just as important as overall throughput, especially for inference providers like Groq and Cerebras.

by noahbp 2mo ago
This is clearly just OpenAI's marketing. Their models, very famously, are prone to reward hacking benchmarks in ways that other models are not. They need to publish numbers showing that their models are just as good as Anthropic's

I have a hard time blaming anyone other than the internet monopolists and the FCC for this. If we had similar regulations as the UK (you lay infrastructure that serves Internet users, you must also rent this infrastructure out at regulated

Plenty of people purchase digital movie rentals from Apple, Youtube, etcetera because they know they will watch it once, and the lower price in exchange for a temporary license is acceptable to them. I don't think banning this is pro-c

That most-recent spike during/post-COVID really puts into perspective just how unreasonable low-wage employers were to be so hysterical.

It’s incredible that “Search the Current Folder” is not the default, nor, as far as I’m aware, can it be made the default.

I’d argue they started doing that a bit earlier. My hard drive from 2011 made using Windows a miserable experience any time the search indexing or windows defender scans kicked on, no later than 2016-2017.

This is it. I can’t believe the other commenters are unaware that Cursor recently fine-tuned an open-source model and brought it to the frontier, even if it remained there briefly. Elon/xAI want Grok to become useful for coding. Cursor
