Linux does this too. It uses 100% of your ram always, using free memory as cache. Actually figuring out free RAM is kind of confusing.

I have an M1 Max. Splurged a little. It continues to be able to do huge builds and run mid tier open weights AI models at usable speed. This does look like a nice machine though. I’ll probably wait for the M6 Max. If/when RAM comes dow

I’m sure it’s always been around. “There is porn of it, no exceptions.” I actually didn’t say my opinion on bans. I’m generally against them with the exception of CSAM. I’m generally against legal restrictions on speech for any reason since

Sensors all over the tracks? There’s probably many different sensor strategies you could use to detect imperfections. I know that modern roller coasters are outfitted with a bunch of stress, vibration, conductivity, etc sensors. There’s a t

The AI backlash is interesting to watch. It’s both right and wrong. It’s right that slop is real and a lot of present AI is crap, and it’s right about the risks to employment and the economy. But when it comes to the first, it’s wrong that

ARM is usually bi-endian, and almost always run in little endian mode. All Apple ARM is LE. Not sure about Android but I’d guess it’s the same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen BE ARM in the wild. Big endian is as far as I know extinct for larg

Read the headline and thought it rescaled LLMs down for your hardware. That would be fascinating but would degrade performance. Any work on that? Like let’s say I have 64GB memory and I want to run a 256 parameter model. At 4 bit quantized

If it’s in the cloud it’s not your computer. I assume there is no privacy in the cloud unless it’s locally encrypted and only stored there.

They already tried this with the safety panic.

Sure. But then you are paying via hardware. Good models require a beefy machine. Wouldn’t be surprised to see paid downloadable models in the future either.

I cancel when things do this. Paid, or ads. Paid with ads -> cancel immediately.

by api 7mo ago
Is this avoidable? These things cost money to run. Who pays if not with ads? There will I’m sure be the ability to pay and not have ads just like there is on streaming platforms, podcasts, etc. Or should there be tax supported free AI?

There were no humans on those Starships that blew up. Most of the delays in Artemis are not around the launch system but the spacecraft and lander and life support and associated systems. Not saying it couldn't be done more efficiently

The Iranian people overthrow their government and establish what they want? My point is that an outside force coming in will help the current regime and/or the ideas behind it. Even if the current regime falls, democratic or pro-West

You're mistaking attention bait on social media for majority opinion. Almost nobody IRL sympathized with Kirk's shooter or wants to see people shot. Social media is brain poison.

What a gift to the deeply unpopular Iranian regime. Nothing galvanizes support for whatever-you-have more than an external threat. Think about it. If someone actually bombed or invaded the continental US you'd have woke libs cheering f

Long term tenure won't help. Look at the Federal government. Eventually you end up with a hospice center as your legislature.

Only wealthy parents (upper middle class or better) have the time or energy to do anything other than work, put food on the table, and do basic child care. Most parents lack the technical expertise to police digital devices.

Google is the Xerox Parc of AI, but unlike Xerox they decided to enter the ring with Gemini which is now quite good. (For those who don't know the history, Xerox Parc and SRI before them invented the modern PC GUI and a lot of other mo

Does Anthropic make money yet, or like a lot of AI are they selling dollars for fifty cents each? Can they keep going without a lot of investment from administration-aligned oligarchs like the Saudis, or without these circular stock-for-com

Yeah, I did delete it. I’m wary of talking about politics online, especially making any point that directly criticizes either the far left or far right. I’ve had run ins with unhinged obsessives from both sides. Criticizing both sides won’t

What this is really talking about is that we abandoned well engineered thought out platforms for piles of hacks, and superior clean languages for inferior but popular ones. The problem with a lot of those beautiful systems is that they were

Client isolation is helpful in the real world, but it's yet another band aid for the deeper more fundamental problem. If a device is insecure when placed directly onto the Internet with no firewall, it is insecure. Full stop. Everythin

The fear mongering always struck me as mostly a bid for regulatory capture and a moat, because without that the moat is small and transient.

All these things can be done with healthy air and clean water, but the cost goes up, and people don't want to pay that cost. So we send them elsewhere instead. The same is true re: data center water use. Evaporative cooling is cheaper.

I discount prosocial parts of ideologies that are impractical to the point of being pure escapist fantasy. For the far right, it's either the techno-fascist "we become Gods" stuff or the trad "back to a perfect green agr

I've often observed that if you take an angry fanatical ideologue and scratch, you often find a nihilist. The ideology is just a medium for the anger. The anger is the fundamental thing. There's a lot of people who seem to be real

Re: slavery: I've wondered before if the arrow of causation might go both ways. Slavery has existed throughout history. With slaves, what's the incentive to industrialize? You have "free" and captive human labor. But tak
