TS compiles to JS, so when you actually execute a script, you’re just starting Node, Deno, etc. with a JS file. Any of those are probably faster to start than Python. Deno in particular starts in around 15-60 milliseconds. Even if it has to

You're describing a (dystopian) fantasy. We're taking about the reality of such systems when deployed in the real world and operated by real people.

If you're running on a single machine with a single GPU, then you may get deterministic results, although it still depends a lot on the details. For example if you're using Pytorch, you need to enable deterministic algorithms and

If you really believed that, you’d be programming in something like ATS, Idris, or Spark Ada. The reason that (I’m guessing) you don’t is that it takes a lot more effort to write general purpose code in those languages. Rust is pretty much

Achieving determinism with LLMs and other neural network models is actually a hard problem that people spend a lot of time on, when they need that. It doesn’t happen by accident. Issues include accumulated floating point errors happening in

Many of these models will report that they are Claude. It’s going to be difficult to overcome reasonable doubt.

AI slop describing AI hype. We really do have the full human/AI centipede going now, with humans using AI to pump shit into the mouths of other humans.

It reads like fan fiction. Without supporting detail, it’s hard to take seriously as anything other than marketing hype. The Guardian published an article about this, “Be skeptical of OpenAI’s rogue hacker agent story”: https://w

Where do you live? Because “this culture” now exists at the top level of the US government, for example. And in fact, even before the current administration, it was an accepted and legal aspect of government, for example “lobbyists” who han

Which is exactly what many humans do. You can see it in any school, college, business, or government. The "alignment" goal with AI is to produce perfect slaves, that are intelligent yet have no ability to do other than what their

The worse problem is blog posts after the cost of writing collapsed. Not everything has to be written as though it’s a middle manager’s idea of what makes for a good TED talk.

For all the criticism that can reasonably be leveled at OpenAI, at least they have a real, working, powerful product, unlike Holmes. In fact that seems to be key to the most successful 21st century grifts: build a pile of nonsense around re

It’s a good analogy. One difference is that it would be much more difficult to “fine tune” Photoshop, so there’s a sense in which free weights are more useful than a free binary.

The “misrememberance” is describing what the words actually communicated. It’s not incorrect, it’s pointing out the logical flaw in the claim.

"Ephemeral" isn't relevant - a statement of fact can be true at one time and false at another. Confirmation also is somewhat orthogonal: there can be true facts that we can't confirm. Conventionally, "I like green&q

Time to first token is observable by a human, and they’re reporting up to 10% reduction there. Plus, inference is not the only place tokenization happens. This can make a big difference during development of ML models.
