Surprised at how it hasn't been pointed out here but - the "general public" wants the sausage, but not how it's made. They wouldn't if they knew what it entailed. Cutbacks to student aid, shuttering of departments,

Would be interested in this too!

This sounds cool, could you elaborate more?

One of the more risible parts of this fiasco is that they publicly cloned Brave, then publicly committed all the changes they made. Here's a commit stripping the Brave logo from some poster and changing the color template. https:&#x2F

I would, if the friction of having to manually add it is removed (maybe through a browser extension? Most subscriptions are made on a computer IMO).

Wolfram's problem is mindset IMO. There's a certain kind of highly intelligent mind, but because of fame, money, habit or personality, makes them intellectually lazy. Instead of doing the proofs, research, careful discussion and r

Definitely excited for this! Been wanting a hackable smartwatch for awhile now.

It is a difficult question to answer. For example, why did Google acquire YouTube in the early 2010s? A platform technically and engineering wise similar to YouTube would have been very easy to replicate. IMO the best explanation goes back

I 90% meant that it was the skills, industry knowledge and connections/reputations they built before Wiz, but it is true that most companies are conceived and planned far ahead of their actually registrations. Sensible people don'

There is actually some drama between Wiz and Orca, a company founded one year before Wiz. Orca alleged Wiz copied them, and Orca does operate in the same space. But a lot of hundred billion dollar companies are built on moats, integration a

Would also be interested in this. I don't know anyone who uses Wiz. Google says they had 350 million in revenue last year, aiming for 1 billion this year. So 100x revenue TTM. Crazy stuff.

~5 years by now. But there is a bit of fine print. The founders all founded another cloud security company in 2010, which was acquired by Microsoft. They were all graduates of Israel's famous Unit 8200. So while the literal company was

To try to avoid the inevitable long arguments about which benchmarks or sets of them are universally better: there is no such thing anymore. And even within benchmarks, we're increasingly squinting to see the difference.

I wouldn't necessarily think so. There's still enormous room for quantization and hardware optimization, which China has proven to be world class at. And a lot of spend is really on R&D. For the same reason I believe if OpenAI

Based on what Altman says and leaked reports, OpenAI is actually losing money on every new user. Unlike traditional software, maintaining a SOTA AI service doesn't scale. The conundrum he faces is he can either quantize models and slas

Liang Wenfeng seems like a very interestingly independent minded person. I wonder how DeepSeek will be ten years from now.

I watched this recently. I was stunned at the level of complexity, themes and storylines coming from a kids movie. The list of highest grossing movies typically are far from great movies because they gross so much by appealing to the lowest

This sounds way, way out of how LLMs work. They can't count the R's in strarwberrrrrry, but they can cross reference multiple tables of data? Is there something else going on here?

One of the marvelous things about Discworld is that although it is absurd, it is one of those logical abstractions of technology I've seen. For example he describes in an incredibly lifelike way the clacks system (basically a kind of i

Seems like this "Chiang's law" would fail in Discworld, where both people and technology are strange.

by InkCanon 2y ago
It seems that way but I think it's quite possible in tech for things to rapidly change. E.g. if OpenAI starts quantising all their models, which can maybe reduce their compute costs by 80%, it would be profitable, but make some number

I did a quick test, it looks like if you have set a DNS server like 1.1.1.1 you can still access it. But if you haven't, you can't.

Not an expert on law, but isn't there some mechanism to get policemen to stop DOGE while he's being sued? Like I imagine if I started taking down traffic lights the police would stop me then ask questions.

by InkCanon 2y ago
What I'm astounded by is how Musk/DOGE haven't been stopped, sued or even arrested. Isn't this interfering with the proper functioning of government, or vandalism, or gross negligence, some other illegal act?

I read this too but there was no source on this. The founder Liang Wenfeng himself comes from Zhejiang university. Its admissions rate is 20%, which is much higher than traditional US "elite" schools. Wenfeng has said this about h

There's hilariously nothing open about OpenAI, and that was the plan from the start. From the email by Ilya Sutsekver, OpenAI was always going to keep all it's research and code as proprietary information. Open supposedly meant th

Is this number right? 400 million? If 400 million go there, how does the infrastructure support it? The article mentions 175k tents which sounds like a few orders of magnitude too little.
