Also >Semple developed a pigment called the "pinkest pink" and specifically made it available to everyone except Anish Kapoor and anyone affiliated with him Anish seems like a bit of a dick

This gives me hope that when the subsidization circus ends and everyone is on pure usage then it won't be entirely exclusionary to mere mortals who don't have $200pm budgets.

Got a M5 air recently - my first dive into MacOS land so trying to figure this out too. Seems essentially impossible to get: * pytorch * GPU acceleration * VM/container like isolation The virtio-gpu layer gets closest but seems to only

I sometimes wonder whether they have an culture that overengineers tbh. The thoroughness & mindset is certainly appreciated, but you can also overdo it - engineer it beyond what the consumers use case requires.

Sounds like they're picking on easy targets rather than relevant ones. Lame.

Very different tech and limitations though so wouldn’t make sense to compare 1:1 I think

Interesting use case!

The pressures he describes seem correct and mirror what I’ve seen. Think he’s wrong about this being close to blowing up. Think that’s coloured by his own personal situation. I suspect unfortunately the powers that be correctly read the sit

Context suggests he’s in the US so not sure that sort of cross jurisdiction comparison is useful. You could just as easily say Europeans are entitled because their salaries are high compared to an Ethiopian. It’s not a useful comparison

You can definitely get stable 1gig throughput through WiFi. Doesn’t even need WiFi 7/6E - possible on 6. Ran a WiFi bridge like that for years and - no packet loss, consistent gig through and maybe +1ms latency The gotcha is both ends

Problem is you get X1 pcie gen4 cards for 10g eth but not sfp …and a lot of consumer boards have spare x1s

> What I took away: eating at a good restaurant was bad, taking out cheap food was good because it saved money. Any sort of morality like framing around it is likely to lead to issues imo. The closer you can get to an analytical approach

You can’t punish companies for court order against them. Thats insane

Well that all seems rather dystopian

Alas we’re in a lovely near monoculture once again.

> I'd estimate that during the latest conflict between Israel/Iran/US + gulf states, approximately zero artillery shells were fired*. That has nothing to do with the merits of artillery and everything with the type of war.

Think it can be a plus in moderation. eg in openclaw it can add some character But yea dislike that style where each heading and bullet point gets an emoji

Still rocking a 3090 so can't speak from experience but general vibe around simple at home inference seems like it has improved (esp since both vulkan and rocm are now viable paths on newer cards). >development using pytorch Would p

Interesting to see a pivot away from MoE by both IBM and mistral while the larger classes of SOTA of models all seem to be sticking to it. Quick vibe check of it- 8B @ Q6 - seems promising. Bit of a clinical tone, but can see that being use

Mirrors the geohotz rants about AMD at the time, though as others point out this - 2024 - is ancient news in AI world and not quite sure what value it adds to the current discussions

It’s because things are going great, right? Right?

You need both. See Ukraine needing mountains of artillery despite the pre war consensus being that the artillery era is over The drones make the news but can’t be the only weapon you bring

Yeah I emailed a representative in the UK too. Took forever to get a response and likely achieved little, but to their credit the response wasn't entirely canned and did at least give the impression that they understood what I'm s

Think they’re positioned pretty well. They’ve got an edge in the European corporate space and don’t have ungodly large numbers to hit

I have a fair bit of fatalism on this one. Saw it with the UK laws. It just gets rammed through. Whether it’s ignorance, malice, hidden force, a desire for surveillance state, genuine concern for children - doesn’t matter, the forces in fa

The selfhosted version has been getting heavier and heavier. Reluctant to call it bloat because it does seem to be features that conceivable someone needs but idk about their direction of travel
