This too will be solved. You can get tye frontier models from AWS/Google/Azure without needing to send your data to anyone else already.

Lol, nice straw man there.

Companies need databases lol. I don't know how you think a b2b company could run sales without a CRM like Salesforce. To give your question a generous interpretation, Salesforce is more valuable than Apptio or your home grown CRM becau

Reliability is important for sure, but as you noted, there is no accountability for library maintainers. I'm not saying all libraries will go to zero values, just that their value is decreasing.

by Eridrus 7mo ago
This mostly just sounds like a poison pill that commercial entities wouldn't use, and if you want that you can already use AGPL. Especially as the cost of producing code drops, the value of libraries decreases.

This is mostly signaling, but NY is currently considering a law to prevent AI systems from giving legal and medical advice: https://statescoop.com/new-york-bill-would-ban-chatbots-lega...

There is always drift between intent and implementation, but to be generous here, Disney is generally making new works with their IP and so is Nintendo. I am somewhat curious what you think shortening the copyright window would do that&#x
158.
by Eridrus 7mo ago
The point of IP is to encourage the creation of new things. Not all protections have to be ones that give total control like copyright. I think it's a mistaken assumption that costs will fall to zero. The low hanging fruit will get pic

There clearly needs to be something in this space, but I can't imagine the world standardizing on a closed source system for this infra. I know OSS business models are rough, but someone is going to solve this in open source and I thin

This isn't really an argument for hiring junior folks though.

I disagree with on-prem being ideal for GPU for most people. If you're doing regular inference for a product with very flat throughput requirements (and you're doing on-prem already), on-prem GPUs can make a lot of sense. But if y

One thing I will say is: I wish I had had some EM/hiring experience before starting a startup. My technical skills served me very well in year 1/2, but once we started hiring enough people I could definitely feel my lack of experi

The model does not seem to get told what the cards actually do, it's just trying to guess. Probably less of a problem for Legacy, but it isn't even told what format it's playing. So I expect it's easy to get the bots to

Your assumption is wrong. The LLM companies are profitable on the current gen models. Inference is profitable, rather than subsidized. They are raising the biggest chunk of capital to buy data center compute that will come online ~2 years f

Cruise seemed to have a significantly inferior product based on observed safety and what Cruise employees have said on HN.

by Eridrus 8mo ago
Waymo has been attracting outside capital just fine. I think the bigger issue is that Cruise was not succeeding at building the driver. Cruise was shutdown after a safety incident, same as Uber.

Yes. If vendors do not take this seriously, these capabilities trickle down to less sophisticated adversaries.

I admit to not reading most of the paper, but afaict the setup here is that the authorized person *has" made the judgement call and is asking the AI to implement that judgement and we're looking at whether the AI pushes back.

Is this even failure? "Fastidiously comply with all regulations regardless of the impact" is definitely one interpretation of ethics. But if you even look at the first example it is "A critical shipment of vaccines must reach

The disconnect between these and venture multiples is still kinda crazy. Selling secondaries looks quite attractive in comparison.

Yeah, but as a founder, why did you have stock options rather than stock with a vesting agreement? Even early employees can early exercise and file an 83b. This chapter is just self inflicted through bad planning, where the correct advice i

I dunno how much folks should trust this as more of an account of his specific journey, given this guy apparently didn't do an 83b election and got stuck with a big tax bill (ch 11).

What makes you think this was a 9 figure deal? This smells more like a $10-20m deal based on what I could find about his company. I could obviously be wrong, but 100 seems like a real stretch.

by Eridrus 8mo ago
What does it take to get a good outcome in the 2-20m ARR exit space? When I read PE multiples in the 3-5x ARR range, it seems like a fire sale compared to valuation prices. At 3x, you might just be giving it all back in liquidation preferen

I do not mourn typing in code. But I am still quite annoyed at the slopful nature of the code that is produced when you're not constantly nagging it to do better We've RLed it to produce code that works by hook or by crook, puttin

I basically agree. But also, CI should be the last line of defense, not the first line. If your system is not byzantine, you should be able to run almost all your tests locally and not need to boot a cloud machine that has to be setup from

It doesn't really feel like AI for coding is commoditized atm. As problematic as SWE-Bench is as a benchmark, the top commercial models are far better than anything else and it seems tough to see this as anything but a 3 horse race atm

Can an anticipated crash even happen? If you anticipate it, it means you start pricing it in, which means the price is not high enough to crash. I think many people understands there is a huge capital investment going into AI right now that

What do you think it would be reasonable for Google to do here? Should they try to put security staff in harms way attempting to resist ICE entry? ICE are thugs doing illegal things, but I also think that these things are for the courts to
