i think it's worth revisiting this in a short while because, by and large, how the engineering craft has been for the last 40+ years is no longer the correct paradigm. it takes Claude Code a few moments to put together an entire proof

Re: cerebras, they filed a S1 [1] last year when attempting to go public. It showed something like a $60M+ loss for the first 6 months of 2024. The IPO didn’t happen because the CEO’s past included some financial missteps and the banks didn

That’s why you have encoders as well as decoders. For example, another model from Meta does this for translations; they have encoders and decoders into a single embedding space that represents semantic concepts for each language https:&#x2

Not a lawyer but would assume downloading material from libgen is, in the vast majority of cases, illegal because it's a breach of copyright or similar. That’s gotten Meta in quite a spectacle of late [1] [1] https://www.loe

Meta is already working on this [1], not sure it can replace NVIDIA for training large models within that time frame however. The ecosystem around their chips is what gives a huge competitive advantage, not having to build entire libraries

The title and opening is perhaps giving people reason to infer something which Lecun isn’t arguing, that AI isn’t going to reach such a level of intelligence. Indeed, he’s published on the topic of Autonomous/Augmented Machine Intellig

The author of Bazel came over to FB and wrote Buck from memory. In Google it’s called Blaze. Buck2 is a rewrite in rust and gets rid of the JVM dependence, so it builds projects faster but it’s slow to build buck2 itself (Rust compilation)
