Agreeing with you. Trump's attitude on the global stage has been to disrespect, insult and threaten every ally. Come at everyone with a "we're better than you" attitude and show that he can't be trusted. The only ra

How far can you get with Qwen 3.6 35B A3B? What scope of task is it able to do?

Ad impressions typically cost money, so there's a case to be made that this is sort of self-correcting too. That being said, IMO no website should be able to freeze your machine. This is a bug. Steps should be taken to fix it.

Most people (and most companies) can't tell bad ideas from good ideas. This is also true of LLMs to some degree. They need post-training in specific domains (e.g. coding) to become competent in that specific area.

You can use it for things like classifying documents, spam detection and detecting certain events, etc. You're right that it's not strong enough for coding but it can still be quite good for question answering and such. Or even si

I would like to see an examples directory with a diverse set of example programs. What would be most interesting to me is programs with non-trivial memory usage and data structures, because that's where differences in the memory model

The weights are very unlikely to be on the chip itself. That wouldn't work for SOTA models that are terabyte scale, even quantized. This is probably an accelerator for specific kernels in the model, but the weights are likely loaded fr

In order to cure cancer with AI, you would need to give it complete control over the experimental pipeline, including probably direct robotic access to a web lab, which comes with its own set of risks. It's just not the same problem sp

I think that people will argue around that. Self-driving cars are already strong enough to kill people and even if you only made the robot strong enough to lift 15 pounds of weight, that's probably strong enough to slit someone's

The thing with drug discovery is that the bottleneck is not coming up with new molecules, etc. It's the multi-year, extremely expensive clinical trials that often don't even succeed. I doubt it will be a big moneymaker for Anthrop

Probably because the team lead is a web developer, and whatever he says goes. Companies are typically very hierarchical, even if they like to claim otherwise.

People widely report very high memory and CPU usage. Not all of the memory usage is the fault of Bun/JS. Some of it is likely memory leaks (holding on to data it shouldn't). However, some of the blame does go to using JS. In Rust

The reason it makes people uncomfortable is because people have been using it to alter images of real people, and they've done that in a public place (twitter/X), for everyone to see. So it gets in the deepfake realm, which is ill

Elon's public take so far has implied that he wants Grok to have better ability to reason about math and physics, thinking that this will make the model more rational (and so less biased). It's possible that they have internal RL

by snek_case 2mo ago
Yeah I mean, if you don't know how to code, you just know how to prompt, you have no idea how to tell what's a good solution vs what isn't. The best you can do is have the model figure it out for you. You also have no idea ho

It looks weirdly petty that they are going after her. Everyone knows that Meta is a shitty place to work. There have already been countless articles. Their reputation as an employer is almost Amazon-tier. Is there much point in trying to si

Simple software is also easier to optimize. The simpler it is, the less weird corner cases you have to deal with.

I've come to understand, talking to a friend who is also in the startup world, that there are some CEOs who run a "portfolio" of startups. It's pretty weird. I don't really understand why investors would put money i

I was working at an AI startup, and I saw our CTO lie in a demo to potential customers. I know that startups sometimes have a "fake it till you make it" mindset, but the guy straight up used a product from another company, present

To get tenure in STEM, you need to publish 1 to 3 papers a year. If you only publish once per year, you'd be on the low end, so you always have to think about your next paper. You always have to try to work on something that would be p

I agree there's a path where this encourages people to be even more sedentary and lazy. On the other hand, if I cook every meal and clean up after, plus take care of home cleaning, I could easily spend 3 hours a day on a variety of hom

I think people are also literally fighting datacenters. As others have said the increase in energy costs is a problem for the average person. Not only is AI potentially competing for your job, it's also competing for your access to ene

It's a win for consumers as well if you can get better video quality or more reliable calls on a slower connection.

Maybe synergistic with tokenmaxxing. You should be burning more tokens, and you should also be making more trades.

The people who make that comparison are just showing how clueless they are IMO.

I wish the tech field wasn't so full of clueless grifters. The most frustrating thing is that this kind of people, the kind who loudly and confidently assert bullshit claim based on insufficient knowledge, have a knack for positioning

The difference is that LLMs are not compilers. You can't trust the output to be correct. They routinely make bad design choices. If you're prototyping some kind of throwaway MVP, you're just sketching something, it's pro

Yeah this is pretty shady. The S&P 500 in particular has fairly strict criteria (e.g. 4 consecutive quarters of profitability) and those criteria exist for a reason. They made me more comfortable buying the S&P 500 knowing I'm

Not to downplay their accomplishment but Llama 3.1 8B is a terrible model. It's really outdated at this point. It's cool that they were able to accelerate a model with silicon, but it also feels wasteful since llama 8B is such a u

It's not just the UI... It's that producing content is much easier on a laptop or desktop, with an actual keyboard, or video editing software available. The rise of mobile contributed to a shift where the internet was split betwee
