"We’re nowhere near the end of the shortage,” said Brad Gastwirth, Circular’s head of global research. “I think it lasts through the end of 2026 and at least the first half of 2027.” You heard it here first folks, close your memory p

Enterprise is what determines commoditization as that's where the lion's share of the revenue comes from. Maybe it will eventually happen to MS Office, maybe it won't, but until it happens it hasn't happened. Access to t

LibreOffice didn't replace MS Office, and Octave didn't replace Matlab. It seems to me that there is even less of a moat with these products than there is with Claude Code, yet neither was commoditized.

The economics of bitcoin mining dictate that the work must have no other utility. If you increase its profitability by using it for auxiliary winter heating, then more people will mine bitcoin until there is an oversupply of heating and we

I'm not sure OpenAI can realistically afford not to IPO given its spending commitments.

I'm just trying to get an idea of what the operation is such that man - man + man = woman, but it's like pulling teeth.

I think you misinterpreted the tone of my original comment as some sort of gotcha. Presumably you're overloading the addition symbol with some other operational meaning in the context of vector embeddings. I'm just calling it addi

It's a pretty exotic type of addition that would lead to the second set of examples, just trying to get an idea of its nature.

so addition is not associative?

Isn't returning to an era of chip architecture experimentation exactly what would be required to explore new and better alternatives?

Are you not based in the US or unable to relocate? I understand the tech job market is at a low point right now but there are still enough programming jobs across the entire continental US that you should be able to fill 40 hours a week app

AI is just a tool to help you do your job, like an IDE, or stackoverflow, why do you have so much antipathy towards it?

Information entropy is literally the strict lower bound on how efficiently information can be communicated (expected number of transmitted bits) if the probability distribution which generates this information is known, that's it. Even

The disinformation landscape of this conflict is insane. This article paints a decidedly optimistic picture, however I fear the reality is far more bleak. Unreliable casualty numbers aside, Russia simply has way more men, and can eventually

The variants in ClinVar will have genomic coordinates associated with them, each given with respect to a particular reference genome, e.g. GRCh38 - chr2:41785474-41785474 or something like that. You will need to align your FASTQ to one of t

Unfortunately, the preponderance of very low value research in the literature puts a significant burden on the scientists who have to sift through a lot of garbage to find what they're looking for. Even if the work is ostensibly correc

It looks like from the preprint that they sequenced the Y chromosome of HG002, which was one of the original 1000 genomes samples from way back in the day, still held in deep freeze at a number of biobanks. Short-read sequencing data is a n

There's a lot of optimism in this thread, but does DFT (or any theoretical model really) actually have much predictive value in quantum chemistry? I've always gotten the impression that in this field the proof is in the pudding.

That's only for prehistory. In any case it's a pretty silly contrivance, how about the oil age? or the silicon age? Both of those are likely to remain more impactful than the LK-99 age, in the event that it does turn out to be an

it's not confusing, it's just silly, the Iron Age ended over 2000 years ago, so there were just no ages between the birth of Christ and LK-99?
