I’m asking more to work out what is the basis of this valuation. Why would Nvidia spend $13B for what seems to be a services that gives things away for free.

File hosting isn’t that hard to replicate though. Even if they start charging people will just set up torrents for the files or lists of mirrors. Unless I’m missing something, this feels like Nvidia having more money than they know what to

What is the business model of hugging face? My understanding was they were basically just a file hosting platform.

JPEG isn’t good enough which is why we ended up with HEIF, which is a massive pain because it’s patent encumbered so it will never be widespread adopted. The most glaring issue with jpeg is the lack of HDR support.

I don’t think there is a technical solution to this problem but I think there is a legal one. Make it a legal requirement to mark AI generated photos and enforce penalties for posting unmarked AI generations. Social media should also mark t

Meanwhile the US who currently has their way will block European judges from using banks, credit cards and all online services after they investigate Israel for war crimes.

Good enough will hit when the tech stops advancing quickly. You could have a "good enough" model but in 2 years if the general purpose chip can run it just as fast, there is no point having the single purpose one.

He has spent the last few months repeatedly posting the same comment about hitler being a socialist. If it was just the salute in isolation it could be questionable, but now there is no doubt.

It's become just another doomscroll content mill like the rest. Public figures and well known names have been replaced with random content creators and repost bots.

The US is fighting wars with everyone on everything at the same time. They don't have the resources to do anything about it. Every country will develop their own independent payment networks. China was right to block US tech companies

If it's not theft to do that, then it isn't theft to distill the models. Anthropic wants it both ways.

The people who read Apple press posts would skew towards upgrading more often. Ultimately there is no number that would satisfy everyone and you are reading a marketing piece from Apple. Wait for the product to be publicly available if you

It's not worth it yet when datacenter compute is being subsidized and consumer hardware is massively overpriced, but the tipping point will come where it makes far more sense. Particularly with Chinese companies pushing to get more out

I don't think polishing macos more will win more users, Windows is a flaming garbage heap where virtually every built in program is broken and people keep using it. Making macbooks cheaper and more accessible will do far more.

I'm praying Framework becomes more affordable after the ram price inflation is over. Because I never want to buy another computer with non replaceable storage again.

Maybe try reinstalling macos? I have an M1 pro personally and an M4 pro for work and I don't feel any difference between them, but I reinstalled a fresh copy of macos recently. I feel like a big part of macos slowing down is installing

They are both somewhat important. The compute speed impacts the tokens per second, and memory impacts the size of the model/capability. IMO memory size is the most important since you can always wait longer for it to compute while a bl

The people using Mac mini/mac studios are very likely media editors who have a NAS on the local network. 1gbit ethernet is slower than wifi at this point and incredibly outdated. 2.5gbit ethernet is quite cheap and common now.

Sell it. Sounds like you have too many computers already and didn't need it.

Anthropic scraped the whole web, scanned every book, pirated every bit of media to feed in to their training. Distillers are doing essentially the same thing scraping all the knowledge from the LLM to create a training set for a new one. Th

In Australia all toilets are free and they are mostly in great condition. I was surprised visiting Italy and having to pay money for some of the worst maintained toilets I’d seen.

The record indicator should be purely reserved for showing if the camera is on. If you want to show all that other stuff, put a second LED on it.

You also have to make sure everyone you contact did this, which is impossible. Much easier to use a 3rd party app like Signal.

It's more a testament to how little most companies care. The solution is simple and yet most products are defective.

Just sign up with something like openrouter and keep switching models until one completes the task.

It’s horrible to use on mobile. Which you may or may not care about, but that’s why this style of design died out.
