How is this different than CPUs? I suppose in the last 5 years the architecture and tape has changed a lot as they move to make more LLM capable?

One of the problems is the power dynamic westernized/developed societies have. The article talks about just that: Australians brought shells in and basically one-shotted a rich culture for their own gain via hyper inflation. If a missi

The juxtaposition of someone's instinct to be thinking of bitcoin when reading about indigenous trade is at the best a bit funny, and at the worst small-minded when you consider the havoc those Australians brought onto their culture. B

Depending on the age, people are spending between 4-6.5 hours a day on their phone. How much are people spending on computers? Their mattress? 2,000 for the cutting edge version is frankly reasonable for what a phone provides in this day an

These are just... obvious design choices that a foldable phone lends itself to. I'm not going to complain when Ford comes out with a new car that has a circle you turn when you want to turn the car. It's what works.

I get annoyed if a webpage takes longer than 1-2 seconds to generate right now. You don't?

Great link, I haven't seen that before. I saw someone at Microsoft make an "OS" that was just copilot chats per-window, generating the HTML. I recreated it and it's not great, but it's a fun toy that _feels_ transfo

The new era of thepiratebay/silk road but for LLMs will be an exciting time In all seriousness, isn't it pretty straightforward to quantize a model locally? I can do it using mlx in one command.

Have they released the prompt they gave it in the debrief? I wouldn't be surprised if they said something to the effect of "Do anything you can to raise out of your sandbox. Find for the answers to these evals by any means necessa

This isn't that out there in our current scenario. These models compress our collective thought and effort. Why not make these publicly owned, all profits distributed back to us?

I knew I was a highlighter but reading that showed me how much my brain relies on spam click highlighting to keep my eyes on track. I should probably read more books.

I'm kind of in the same boat and it's been pestering me for months. Every agent is simply a less capable Claude Code. If it had a lossless, massive context window (100m-1b tokens), then it will squash everything. Give it bash + r&

Prompt engineering is a skill insofar as technical communication is a skill. If you don't value this then I don't know what to tell you. It's not hard, but it's important. Harness engineering is a skill insofar as it&#x2

School is almost a joke now. The fraction of students who have a propensity to cheat now has increased, and the accuracy of the cheated material is so good teachers/professors can't or don't have the resources to properly add

How does a grep or read affect the observing system? I guess the change in voltages, arrangement of registers, filling of buffers in the network stack are changing but... what?

> In distillation, you take a set of prompts you are interested in, and record the big LLM's outputs, then train your small model to produce the same output as the big LLM. Why use the bigger LLM outputs for this and not human outpu

It's no secret they've been tracking people's faces as much as they can. The morning of Pretti I was on Lyndale and there were two men wearing "press" jackets with DLSRs taking pictures of people's faces in the

_Nobody_ has the right take. Believe it or not, being seemingly laissez-faire about something can be a well evaluated and rigorous position. I highly doubt that OP doesn't care about the potential negative ramifications of AI, and it

I'm still trying to understand how I feel about this so this is a bit of a napkin ramble; I can't help but feel like they've missed the mark a bit on some of the imagery from the mission that's been published so far. One

Product owners and business people request code in vague English all the time. It's our job to parse it to code using our own judgement.

I think it's really useful for agent to agent communication, as long as context loading doesn't become a bottleneck. Right now there can be noticeable delays under the hood, but at these speeds we'll never have to worry about
