More precisely they can't cache it.

Same can also be said of IBMs computers at the time and the US efforts to build computers.

Step 1: steal all of the worlds IP and make a judge rule it is fair use Step 2: declare end of the Anthropocene (defined by man made influence on earth), while simultaneously accelerating mass extinction Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit?

They are increasingly being trained on generated tasks and even (parts) of the pre-training data is 'distilled' (e.g. Clibmix as an open-source example), so there are many ways in which the vocabulary can seep into the model.

I mean EU can cope all it wants, the most successful startup in Germany being a weapons company is all that you really need to know. It is sad how far these countries have fallen and I am German myself.

If SAP appears in a list of successes then clearly EU is fucked.

Maintining this type of long time fork is the kind of mind numbing, tedious thing LLMs are actually exceptionally good at. I did some backend work on Lean4 compiler and then they switched out parts of the codegen, it took Codex less than an

All this AI doomerism is hiding the obvious and immediate harm that will cause a mass extinction event. Funnily enough people at Anthropic are predicting the end of the Anthropocene, completely absolving themselves from any responsibility f

Article reads AI generated, or maybe those are the kind of publications is where they got this from?

"What it means and what it does not": article is clearly written by claude, which for me at this point means that I pay as much attention to it as I do to Claudes output: I skim it and then move on. It actually requires far more e

can you give examples of colo facilities in SF / New York that are shutting down?

I was thinking that would be great, too. What would be the equivalent for the property developer: one gpu server is 450k.

The hardware division has 80%+ margin and still makes the systems that process 75% of all financial transactions. Their processors for those systems are on par or better than any other, I don’t think that is a business at all. This cash cow

I wish that people would not use AI to generate copy or websites, at this point it induces an almost instinctual negative reaction: 'What Modelloop does -- in three movements' is a classical example of AI lingo. I don't have

I learned programming in QBasic in MS-DOS, you could just start the IDE and the documentation was filled with cool examples. Super easy to run any program. I made music / weird drawings etc.

Here is how I think about it: Learning to program is learning a new way of thinking. When you learned to do mental arithmetic the point was not that you would necessarily do mental arithmetic at all times in the future. Programming is the l

A lot of that is compute commitments and NVIDIA has a 80% margin

they were definitely totalitarian, slightly different mix of ideology. Fascist is a fairly good description here, it describes close collaboration of government with corporations to advance national goals. US had somewhat fascist tendencies

I don’t get that, the use of these books was instrumental and necessary for the success of the training run. The expected value of these training runs is high as the build out of 100 billion+ infrastructure demonstrates, so the book publish

In fact 5g and all previous standards have a provision for lawful intercept. So your domestic intelligence service and police can always turn it into a listening device.

Curious how this relates to what lean4 is doing, I guess in lean's case some of the data structures are special cased (Array) and there is no easy way to implement such data structures yourself

At some point we will be so tired of distinguishing between AI generated content and human content that we will stop using the Internet and it will be left to bots.

It took cerebras less than a billion to get to where they are now, CPUs are not that hard. You would probably be able to reverse engineer them for ~100 million

I mean in a normal math curriculum you would define only the multiplicative inverse and then there is a separate way to define fraction, if you start out with certain rings. It is kind of surprising to me that they did a lazy definition of

One other thing I've observed is that Claude fares much better in a well engineered pre-existing codebase. It adopts to most of the style and has plenty of "positive" examples to follow. It also benefits from the existing tes
