I get that, but what I'm saying is that it's anticompetitive as heck. In a fair system, profits from NVDA's revenue growth should've been distributed to shareholders as dividends or reinvested into the company itself, no

The first step in building a large language model. That's when the model is initiated and trained on a huge dataset to learn patterns and whatnot. The "P" in "GPT" stands for "pre-trained."

Switching a Japanese dumbphone (Kyocera) was the best thing I ever did. Eliminating your smartphone (as inconvenient and life altering as it may be -- you'll need to figure out a path) is probably the single most effective thing you ca

Okay, Gemini 3.0 Pro has officially surpassed Claude 4.5 (and GPT-5.1) as the top ranked model based on my private evals (multimodal reasoning w/ images/audio files and solving complex Caesar/transposition ciphers, etc.). Cla

As someone with barebones understanding of "world models," how does this differ from sophisticated game engines that generate three-dimensional worlds? Is it simply the adaptation of transformer architecture in generating the 3-D

Some of the best AI researchers and labs have been from the EU (DeepMind, Alan Turing Institute, Mistral, et al.). We in the US have mature capital markets and stupid easy access to capital, of course, but EU still punches well above its we

With LLMs, I'm viscerally aware that it's a bot generating output from its pre-trained/fine-tuned model weights with occasional RAG. With reddit, folks go there expecting some semblance of genuine human interaction (reddit&#x

I do check the RAG sources from deep research, but you're very right in that it's easy to start taking mental shortcuts and end up over relying on LLMs to do the research/thinking for you.

Yeah, I'm a bit young for bulletin boards. I did use classic forums (LTT and similar tech/pc building ones), but the old reddit was just far too convenient and far too addicting.

Just wanted to add this -- reddit was the perhaps the tool that I had access to growing up (I'm an older Gen-Z, the oldest) that equalized the power differential for me when it came to researching a new product or a service. The abil
