64gb unified memory is incredibly powerful for a local machine. Most of us have 16GB which is almost useless compared to the API models.

All of the use cases I see seem like stuff that’s better performed by normal software. Dependabot will watch for new versions and submit a PR for free. AI for developing software that runs predictably seems more useful than AI performing ac

I think people just hate subscriptions so much they are willing to make an obviously worse financial choice to buy upfront. I’d be willing to pay more to own vs subscribe, but the gap is currently far too large where buying a Mac Studio for

That's so long ago I honestly can't see that being true. It used to be a funny home video hosting platform in those days. The quality of content you can get on youtube these days is incredible.

YouTube really could hold up as its own company these days.

Ah this makes more sense. I was wondering how on earth they were making this stuff because a lot of it looked like injection moulded plastic that would be just too hard to make at home. Do you know what this stuff is called specifically? I

That’s what the auditing needs to cover. Every search should be tied to a case number and the police putting in fake numbers to stalk people need to be dealt with.

All that does is drive up prices which cause other users to cut back. Total oil consumption is directly tied to production. Oil production is stalled right now so less is being used, and the high prices are speeding up the electrification o

As much as I think the tech needs to be regulated to prevent abuse, if I was a driver in San Francisco I’d try to only ever park my car directly in view of a flock camera.

Ironically the war in Iran was probably one of the most effective ways to cut oil consumption.

It seems we are no more capable of organizing than bacteria in a petri dish could avoid replicating until the resources are exhausted.

You can do all of that, and then Elon Musk will use his hundreds of billions to install another pedofile in charge who won't give a shit about the environment.

For a more modern example, China already has this and a lot more. The public seems largely supportive of it though because most street crimes stopped. The potential for abuse is obviously massive, but the benefit to society is too.

We don’t _need_ many things. But there are real problems that it solves and solves better than anything else. I feel like the best solution is very tightly regulating and auditing this technology so it can only be used to benefit society.

I have no problem with VR, but this demo was very disorienting. I can’t even imagine trying to look at this while driving.

Because they don’t have the source images. If they just used scans, the text would be fuzzy when reprinted. So they are converting it back to text in editing so it can print perfectly. Aside from some mistakes in the OCR. As well as the fac

There's certainly a mental difference between a computer you can use as much as you want for a fixed upfront cost vs a rented server you are being billed by the hour for. But the cost difference between api and self hosted is so incred

I'm not that worried about the codebase itself. I'm worried about the fact coding agents poke around the terminal and system so much that there is almost a certainty that some of your other personal data ends up in the context som

It’s also just hard to make breaking changes on Linux. Apple can declare something is changing and you have 1 year to get with the program. In Linux you have to bargain and plead with devs over 10 years to change something. Restricting an a

I get the feeling that with a sufficiently advanced understanding of the brain we could attribute every personality trait to a biological explanation, but if someone isn't sufficiently disabled or in need of treatment, is there any ben

From a security perspective, panic at runtime is not that bad for security. Much better than continuing to run with undefined behavior. If someone sends a malformed video in and it crashes the ffmpeg process you can just log it and restart

Github was acquired for $7B. It's hard for me to see how HF is worth almost double Github.

While it's probably easier to say this in retrospect, they were eliminating a direct competitor to their core business. Something so advantageous it should have been blocked by regulators. I can't see this as being as good of a pu

IP will only be respected if there is a mutually beneficial reason to do it. The US would need to offer China something they need in exchange for enforcing IP. The US does not respect the EU's Protected Designation of Origin laws becau

Counter point is China can afford to keep pumping out free models for long enough to crash the AI industry, As well as spin up memory production. Its likely in the near future we will be able to buy 128gb mac minis and run local AI for free

Not really. GitHub has a strong platform of paying customers and a solid product that’s hard to replicate. Google is obvious. Hugging Face is a file download mirror with a couple of side features dangling off.
