I want to echo the comments that you just made. One of my primary methods of interacting with an iPhone is through speech and the state of Apple speech transcription is pretty horrible. It bothers me greatly. I know some of the workarounds

I think the company Taalas alone destroys Ed’s arguments Because, comparing vs GPUs ~16k–17k tokens/second per user <1ms latency 10x power efficiency 20x cheaper production Model to Si ~ 60 to 90 days We have every reason to believe

I'm increasingly thinking the same as our spend on tokens goes up. If you have HPC or Supercompute already, you have much of the expertise on staff already to expand models locally, and between Apple Silicon and Exo there are some amaz

Revocations works great in theory, and in theory & practice particularly in DOD. The problem is a ton of certificate authorities consciously chose not to produce validation data previously, created insecure CAs, chose not to cache valid

If you sell to the War Department, the CIA, the NSA, or ICE/Border Patrol, you know exactly how it is going to be used. This after the fact naiveté by Anthropic is crazy. Speaking as a patriot I’d be incredibly proud if my tool was use

Palantir was trying to do the right thing. Anthropic is trying to sell to the government while simultaneously dictating terms on how AI is used in the war department. When you sell to the War department, or the IC, you can be certain that t

The story is they started fishing for classified info on how their tooling was used from their prime contractor, Palantir, who rightfully blew the whistle on them and told DOD what they were up to. https://fortune.com/2026&#

Google has been evil for at least a decade, if not longer than that. This is just pigslop masquerading as a moral stand. What happened to the OG Google that cared about users, prioritized honest search, fast performance, and didn't mur

The RISC-V growth is fairly spectacular; moving forward the CAGR is estimated at > 40%

RISC-V could completely eat ARM for lunch if they try to jack up fees under the guise of "value extraction", and not through true value creation. In 2 years from this date, I fully expect the safety critical RISC-V chips like the
