It depends on if you are relying on all single shot tasks or are willing to iterate. Flash is quick and can make dumb mistakes, but it also can fix them quickly. I've gotten good results with it, but it definitely is more hands on.

Google's open secret is that they are also capturing spend on OAI and Anthropic tokens.

Ultimately it would track that in the real world, people will want to point cameras at things and get answers. I pay for ChatGPT and Gemini, and while Sol is a total beast with anything text, it still poisoned my cucumber bed. Which I will

The stake in the side of cerebras has always been that the economics are pretty poor. Who knows if they will subsidizes it to mitigate sticker shock, but it's a safe assumption that it will be scarily expensive. However if you are in a

Like I replied to the other commenter, it's an unstable equilibrium. Lots of things can stay perfect forever if nothing throws off the delicate balance. We can focus effort on maintaining this balance...but doing that requires power

If you think about Google and their business/reach, fast and light models suite them the best. Google probably crunches more tokens daily than the other labs combined, just because basically the entire global population uses Google (sa

Kindness is an unstable equilibrium unfortunately. Mother nature is totally uninterested in it. Otherwise we would still all be protolife quasi-cells, because consuming other cells and not sharing resources isn't kind. Maybe you argue

It's a fundamental attribute of reality. Take it up with mother nature, because power struggles exist everywhere, even in dumb systems with no intelligence. Weak things go away, strong things stay around. Weak things need to become str

Yeah, but have you seen their EVs that cost $30,000 and have fold out kitchens and a movie theater in the rear?

China is step by step learning that communism actually sucks and doesn't work. Unless you can have a super intelligence that can monitor every aspect of everything all the time to ensure optimal decisions. Hmmmm...

Yeah, but we don't want cameras everywhere, not just auto plate readers. What is the difference between a security camera watching the municipal tools shack entrance and the security camera watching the main road? The ultimate goal is

...so we only have 5 cameras, one at each entrance to our town. Five cameras is less than what the number of police on duty are using.

by WarmWash 2mo ago
OK sure, but do they now also need a warrant to look at their own footage from their body cam, or their dashcam? What about the camera on the side of the municipal building? Compelling parties to give up data is different than looking at yo

These cameras are in public, where expectation of privacy has been ruled against a zillion times. Go against this, and filming your kids baseball game becomes a legal nightmare.

They definitely need warrants, but 99% of the time, people/businesses voluntarily hand it over. In fact they do it enthusiastically and even bring it to police without them even asking. "We believe your camera captured the guy who

As someone who strongly opposes flock cameras... This is a huge problem that people will try to sweep under the rug or hand wave away with wording like "It's the scale the matters". Ideally, laws need to be written like progr

Contracts sometimes have minimum bid clauses, where a minimum number of distinct entities need to bid for the contract to go through. We have lost projects before because no one else bid them. Which sounds dumb, but I suppose the idea is to

Say your 1979 Chevy is in need of a new 12V battery, but your car (for the purpose of the example) is under the NRC regulatory regime. Can you just go to the auto parts store and buy a new lead acid standard issue battery? Definitely not. W

Exercise is taxing, and healthy food isn't as tasty or easy as junk food. Humans are natural experts in min-maxing calories spent vs calories consumed. Then we solved food ~100 years ago and its been a kid in a candy shop ever since.

I can tell you from second hand direct experience that the regulations are absolutely over the top, and then doubled for good measure. It almost makes aviation look like running a lemonade stand.

People will run to point to the spate of new nuclear plans, but the point be made here is that nuclear regulation is so suffocating and costs so extreme that it's "effectively illegal" to build reactors.
