I guess what they really want is to limit sale of AI models to compliant vendors and then raise the bar to compliance just high enough so they can pass it but smaller labs can’t. There’s no moat, it’s an efficient market that drives margins

There’s a whole legacy of wrapper interface generators like SWIG that are way more powerful than PyO3, QT is e.g. fully mapped to Python using a very powerful wrapper generator (SIP). PyO3 is just a really simple interface generator in comp

They’re not running Rust they’re running machine code compiled with the Rust compiler. Like many other Python libraries such as numpy are running machine code compiled with C++, C or Fortran. That was always the case for Python and is its m

But he didn’t build the Oculus did he? Not sure what he worked on, software?

Also my experience, it works somewhat ok on large code bases that I designed and built myself before but after months of agentic development they sure start to degrade. I think if you start from scratch with agentic development there is no

Isn’t that the whole spiel of these things, you run all kind of text and other data through it and it kind of remembers it and learns from it then it spouts it back out like a human would. Makes sense to me that a training run based on conv

I had qubit bring up and calibration fully automated with Python in 2011 including full spectrum measurements, lifetime characterization, Rabi/Ramsey measurements, calibration of single qubit gates and two qubit swap gates and full qua

Well OpenAI wants to maintain its edge and solving a Millennium problem is of course fantastic PR, and given that Anthropic seems to be working on that it’s not hard to imagine they wanted to be first. I don’t get how people buy into that w

The USB C connector has like 24 tiny SMA pins how is that trivial? Under the microscope with soldering equipment from a lab maybe, at home this seems impossible and it will likely not work due to the high frequencies involved, I don’t think

Broke off my Pi 4Bs USB C port when using it to test link speed for new LAN outlets, when I wanted to reorder I realized the 4 GB version is now 120 EUR… Damn.

I don’t know, I am writing a modest 30 page paper with Fable and even after rounds and rounds of feedback and improvements there are so many things that are just plain wrong or weirdly out of place or just stupidly written that Fable 5.1 do

Their browser workers won’t get blocked. Same with all big vendors, keep out small competitors enjoy access yourself and sell it to a select few partners.

Hard to decide between Star Trek computer voice, Glados or Jarvis, HAL would also be cool.

It’s crazy that their profit margin is above 50 %, before the AI craze I only knew such margins from drug trafficking cartels (supposedly).

I’m kind of cautiously excited for the next five to ten years, with these AI chips becoming incredibly fast and RAM capacities ramping up its in the cards that we’ll have chips like today’s ATMEL microprocessors that fit on a single board c

Well at this point they are probably the only country in the world that can produce a car end to end starting from the raw iron ore and other elements up to the chips and software that runs on them (I’m sure they will still need to import s

Yeah I mean if I run out of tokens every couple of hours and have to pause my work or shell out more money I’ll switch to other tools that don’t have this problem. Though they turned this down a bit it seems, I can work with Fable reasonabl

It works much better on regular software development e.g. for complex refactoring where cheaper models would produce a lot of garbage results.

I wonder how people can like LLM generated code so much and then at the same time find LLM generated prose so repulsive. Is the quality of LLM generated code higher? I would think there’s much more prose than code to train on. Or is it that

So the language knows what you want to program and if it’s functionally correct? I don’t think so.

Not panicking doesn’t mean working as intended, the biggest issue with LLM generated code is that it will do something that’s subtly wrong not that it will crash. It anything LLMs are too careful with Golang code and litter useless nil chec

I have the impression that these positions are often there for publicity reasons and the people don’t have real power, in the end business interest will override most ethics concerns. Guess that can be frustrating, also she probably earned

99 % of the Internet was already slop before AI existed it was just written by hand. At least AI can give you a nuanced overview of medical information whereas before you had the exact same content about medical conditions on hundreds of SE

That seems like a terrible way to learn. It’s a neat animation but cmon, there’s like educational TV programs from the 80s that explain this so well, in Germany there’s “Sendung mit der Maus”, not sure if they have a segment on chip manufac

Most people don’t know they’re acting as a residential proxy, lots of devices and apps and free tools install spyware which often includes a proxy script. It’s a really shady market.

It’s just way cheaper, make a concrete ceiling, slap some insulation and proofing on top, done.
