Well that's funny, because you were making some pretty blanket statements upstream about how they "never" do this and "always" do that. And yet your experience seems extremely limited and niche, by your own admissio

The joke is that macs are famously slow at prompt prefill and you are not getting anything back in 3 seconds, or probably even 30. Once they get generating, it can be acceptable, but the TTFT is horrendous. There's a ton of well-unders

So, that gets us to about where nVidia was with Ampere in 2020. Let's hope the M7 catches us up with at least Hopper.

I said machine consciousness might be possible. You said it will never happen. Pointing out that intelligence does not entail consciousness doesn’t establish that machines cannot be conscious. Nor does naming “substrate independence” refute

I don't know what you're talking about. "Substrate independence"? Huh? "we did not accidentally pick the right one"? Who or what is "we"? I'm not claiming panpsychism. I'm saying that when y

Preposterous? Insane? My friend, we don't even know what consciousness is, or from what it arises in humans. It could be an emergent property of neural-network-shaped activity - in which case LLM software running on that "sand&quo

Care to supply your rigorous, formal definition of what animacy in an object is?

There's another term for the certain-death variety which I prefer - the "call of the void". I think that captures it nicely.

That is a completely unsupportable claim. For all we know they might already be, for a brief flash at least.

Well, I'm staying exactly where I am. I'll be keeping my company on 1password, and my family too, because I think it's a good product. I don't personally use Omarchy, but I welcome anything that can bring more people to

Nothing weird or exotic - just frequent daily work in two reasonably large applications, with a lot of testing and follow-through. I've found that as codebase size goes up, token usage does too - perhaps quadratically, and a complex ba

Well, do you see the value of writing notes for yourself occasionally, even though they might soon become stale in your constantly changing environment? Yes, right? Same principle. It's a good idea to have a schedule to clean them up p

"Open Source" is still not a word. It is a phrase, a term, maybe even a thing - but not a word!

If Chinese companies are able to just reliably rent the damn GPUs then I really don't see how these restrictions are meant to be effective in the slightest. I guess it makes it less convenient and supply less certain, and retains some

They mean that K3's native floating point is MXFP4, a newer standard that's not supported in Hopper, an older nvidia chipset, so it's impossible the GPUs in question were Hopper (the article specifically mentions H200s), whic

I appreciate your nuanced take, but I think it's implausible that the "correct" balance turns out to be 0. That just defies all reason. We'll learn how to apply the tools in ways that maximize the benefit while minimizin

I suppose that would be up to the new owner? How would I know what happens to their services? You shouldn't conflate AI-the-technology with OpenAI-the-company. I'm super bullish about the tech, couldn't care less about a spec

There is no longer, in my opinion, any scope for reasonable debate that AI models like Fable 5 are net productivity increases for many, if not most, if not ALL, programming tasks. Anyone can, or should be able to, prove this to themselves i

I find it fascinating how humans search for meaning in the unlikeliest of places, and how ancient tribal instincts will turn anything, anything at all, into an excuse for an in-group, an out-group, and a search for kinship on the most ridic
