I love AI and have built many projects with PyTorch and use LLMs daily for all my work and am building a startup in my spare time here: https://veloa.com/ Being concerned about how AI will concentrate power doesn’t mean I d

The ultra wealthy will out compete you for the resources you need if we don’t start taxing them has been a discussion from the left for quite some time. It seems to keep coming true in new and disastrous ways, we are going to see more and m

What is the general consensus on Martin Fowler - I worked with Thought Works and they were obsessed with overcomplicating everything, but maybe that is just agency in general? I think it goes without saying that the biggest fight we have as

I can understand the desire to be concerned about the climate systems that keep earth habitable for humans starting to break down might come with some extreme views. It seems almost thinking we can continue as normal given the predictions o

Can't wait for the inevitable bailout and US tax dollars to pay for this!

The LLMs may have seen larger codebases in Rust, helping them to cope better.

It’s almost impossible to be in a situation where your taxes end up this wrong you’re accused of fraud. I honestly do not believe my accountant does anything better than AI or AI generated code that does calculations to see what you should

I'm still amazed my company is paying £10k per month for AWS when they could have one or two servers on Hetzner do the whole thing.

No ORMs try to make the concept of SQL hidden, in Elixir you will not get very far if you don’t understand the SQL you’re trying to write. So I’d probably say nothing is really being hidden from you - as little magic as possible. https:&#x

This is to prevent Chinese labs distilling Claude again right? And free advertising again?

This is one of numerous things Elixir and Phoenix get right with the database layer, which on the surface looks like an ORM but is in fact a set of clever functions that write SQL using Elixir macros, as well as a system for validation and

Can we just make Opus 4.8 ish models cheaper, they do exactly what I want for 99% of problems certainly in web app development. I’m not sure what Palantir/Salesforce/agencies will do, really upset for these leaches!

The usual game plan of getting the technology they want to copy by offering cheap and highly skilled Chinese labour and access to the Chinese market by building the machines there is not available to them, so the likelihood is this will tak

Honestly you're still looking at (from my understanding) ~3 minutes prefill (TTFT) even with architectural improvements and so on with a 32k context window (against a large model). How is this going to be competitive with Nvidia and al

Both have the Euro so they have lower interest rates and can consequently borrow more than us. Which would you rather borrow, 137% of GDP (in the case of Italy) at 3% or 100% of GDP at 5%?

I looked recently and a new Macbook 128gb ram was £5500 which was expensive for me but I could consider it! Now it’s £7000 which is absolutely ridiculous. AI is useful but it’s sucking everything out of the economy and destroying it at the

Most western economies are bankrupt and the UK is in a worse position than all its peers apart from maybe Japan?

But I did my research online and the sun cycle is every 11 years and something something global warming is a hoax every single year now.

What is he going to do without the bond markets - the UK is in so much debt we basically need to jump however high they tell us to, unless he plans to default which would destroy the global financial system and destroy the UK for decades. T

Completely, for some things it’s okay to trust the JWT. Nobody is saying let people transfer money or view government secrets with only a JWT and no security in depth. However receiving and potentially sending ephemeral communications seems

Okay, so hack into a site that uses JWTs for login, if it’s so insecure we should be seeing loads of attacks against them right? Stolen tokens everywhere being used to impersonate people and other things. For example I believe ChatGPT is us

I dunno, I probably need the web to be able to do work so why does it matter - taking the simple case - of running just myself on a Mac Studio at home or cooking my self on the go I'd probably rather have a cheaper laptop and dedicated

by andy_ppp 4mo ago
I wonder if it is better to have a machine somewhere running a model for you maybe shared with a few others. I could probably justify a M6 Mac Studio with hopefully 256gb RAM and have a few people all with access to one agreed upon model. I

This is something Wordle got completely correct, it just allows you to copy an emoji version of your game into any social media you like. Giving people agency to edit rather than mild fear of how will sharing actually work is much more like
