There were layoffs yes. The solution is to pursue something that on a small scale is net negative financially? Get out of here.

This quote is from a viral interview between Jensen Huang and Dwarkesh Patel, the latter made some points during the interview that were very condescending and betrayed a deep misunderstanding of technology.

> The attitude of the industry is that it’s up to you to read data sheets carefully and test. Is this backed up by court precedent? This seems like you could easily claim damages due to a differently speccd part. I’m not doubting that’s

This is give an inch take a mile type thinking. The arguments against data centers are based in emotion not reason, so it’s effectively a fools errand to try and placate them.

We the people. In places where there are significant water shortages, water hungry data centers are not being built.

This is the top comment: “ And ask if AI is so great why hasn’t it designed resource efficient data centers? And ask what the data centers are actually doing. Bitcoin mining, anyone?” Says all you need to know about the competency level of

I prefer my OS to not require “skill” (there’s no skill left in the age of AI anyways, just wasted time)

It’s fairer to call them factions. Also a misuse of the term “FUD”. They also don’t have a parliament, they have the “National People’s Congress” which doesn’t function as a parliamentary body.

It’s possible (likely, even) to have a chip fast enough for inference, but not fast enough or with enough memory to do meaningful training runs. Like the current DGX spark.

This is the best way I can explain why ai-driven layoffs can be logical. Take a baseline as 5 devs costs 5 salary units and produces 5 output units. AI does something like “for 1.25 salary units you get 1.5 output units” so it’s costlier on

As someone completely outside the 3D design world who always thought of AutoCAD as the gold standard - really? What program would be used instead? Please enlighten me.

Azul and Set are both good. Can’t Stop is another classic “push your luck” game.

Claude has 1M context window for the enterprise. 128k feels like a toy in comparison.

by Our_Benefactors 5mo ago
It runs like shit though in terms of tokens/second and still has a reduced context window. Vs a single claude prompt can easily get into 300k tokens without breaking a sweat. I want local AI to be a thing but the hardware isn’t here ye

AI has well and finally killed the idea that outsourcing saves cost. Local AI, sure, but not outsourcing. Been there, done that, doesn’t work.

Of course, you should never sell the car to the dealer and should always make the effort to sell private party, which will often get you 50% or more greater than the dealers best offer.

It’s because it’s not true, there’s no evidence for it that passes the sniff test. No lab is “shipping a worse model once they’ve got you”. People have a bad few days and blame the model providers instead of stepping back to fix their workf

Too true. The idea that you could play instants during your opponents turn caused many a disagreement, especially over combat timings or unintuitive but real mechanics like “stack combat damage, sac mogg fanatic”

This is similar to how VS system worked, it was a short lived superhero CCG in the mid 2000s, you could play up to one card per turn facedown as a “land”, but you still drew from one deck.

And now the cost has increased again, because you need to field enough simultaneous launches to get 10k in the air at the same time. It doesn’t mean you need 10k launchers, but you still need a lot

> could probably have emps get it themselves, and reimburse They can’t track token use this way. Also it’s a massive violation of the model providers TOS.
