Some of the queries run for multiple minutes. 40 tokens/sec is too slow for CoT. I hope OpenAI is investing in low-latency like Groq's tech that can reach 1k tokens/sec.

I agree. Nothing is worse than a minimalistic UI with a pile of unstructured afterthoughts. Just like trees, you can date an app by counting how many toolbars it has That's what happens when 20 PMs overrule each other and fight for exp

Gnome isn't perfect, but is the closest thing to Apple's minimalistic mindset, and surpasses MacOS imo. And it's customizable! If you're a power-user that likes having many toolbars, don't use gnome, there are other

I worked on email delivery systems. Your comment makes me realize that something that was free and trivial in the 90s is now painfully complex and expensive, because of monopolistic practices and spammers. We ruined something great.

I love minimalistic specs like this. I miss the 90s lightweight internet, that projects like gopher and Gemini try to resurrect. But it's going against 2 trends : - Every site needs to track and fingerprint you to death with JS bloatwa

Many banking apps won't work on custom roms, which can be painful. Open source OSes are getting cornered. Just like self hosted email servers that are getting blocked by many email providers nowadays

Terahertz frequencies have an awful range, even worse than millimeter 5G. It's brilliant marketing : you can advertise insane lab speeds, and sell way more antenna towers because decent coverage is harder to achieve.

Depends how we implement it. We could make bad science way faster. ChatGPT paper spam is already a thing, and their authors don't care about quality

Yes a few big sites are missing, notably reddit. Most of CC is spam though, the real useful content is really small. I'm experimenting my own search engine at the moment, and am considering to make it public at some point. It's no

I don't buy this number. Text-only common crawl is 20TB. Remove spam and dupes, you're around <10TB of current useful data. Which you can parse and index on a single server nowadays. It's the full Google index history with

ARM got a lot of hype since the release of the M1, but most users only compared it to the terrible Intel MBPs. Ryzen mobile has been consistently close to Apple silicon perf/watt for 5 years. But got little press coverage. Hype can be

Umbrella marketing terms like this are misleading, and hype adjacent tech like GenAI. "AI" is a family of statistical techniques, and weather forecasting has been using many of them for decades. Are GNNs displayed here more "

Having opaque pixels would be awesome though. Current waveguide displays like the hololens and magic leap can only display light, not darkness, which is a deal breaker for most content. Passthrough is the lazy solution for now, but requires

I disagree, everyone is concerned. The vast majority of apps on the android ecosystem are adware with dark patterns all over the place. My mother complains about it every day. Google is currently blocking many quality open source apps like

I'm grateful for the non-Android mobile OSS ecosystem. Android is increasingly user hostile, notably the apps and features that block you when you obtain root access on your own device you paid for. I'm about to quit Android, and

No one ever got promoted for reducing tech debt. It's better to ship fast and forget, and cash out before the system collapses years later. Unfortunately this is not exclusive to software.

I understand the AI context, but this is dangerously anticompetitive for other search engines. This is a dangerous precedent for the internet. Business conglomerates have been controlling most of the web, but refusing basic interoperability

Ah that's a good counterexample. Political education could play a big part, as well as independent media.

Naive question: will scaling laws be sufficient for reliable reasoning, or are transformer architectures incapable of that ?

Every time I have to help a friend on Windows, I'm horrified by how even worse it got. The ads, bloatware, the performance, the bugs, and user-hostile philosophy. They have been too big to fail for too long, but their greed will bite t

Most servers already run gnu/linux, and are juicier targets than the average consumer device. The incentives are already huge.

I wonder if the increased media scrutiny biases the perception of safety. I would love a statistical analysis on defects and accident occurrence at Boeing over the past 20 years. Is there an actual increase since 2020?

As a freelancer I invoice in multiple currencies, and I couldn't find a program to generate them that wasn't an overly complex $100/mo SaaS. So I build a little cli to generate my invoices. 100 loc and super simple. I miss th

How will PoW solve this ? Clickfarms in Asia already use entire hangars of mobile phones to fake traffic.

Do we have other solutions before the internet becomes 100% spam? Private communities?
