That's the whole goal with the pricing model. Its not predatory because the customer is still paying for it. There is a choice to not pay and use a different service. If there are reasons to not do so, we are not at the predatory level

People like the knowledge that they are not being ripped off by the person they are interacting with. On Uber you are essentially guaranteed that you are paying the absolute max that you would accept algorithmically, and the driver is getti

I want to see the political climate and situation that lead up to a decision like this. Like, if you just go off basic human desires, politics, the amount of money invested in outcome D, and how previous global events are handled. Humans ar

UBI as a concept does not add up. It assumes an even production of all goods that people might need, but there isn't, you are giving everyone fiat currency that is not inherently tied to any physical good. Very fast you will descend in

Sure but we can't work on hypotheticals. Otherwise we can also say that information work is 90% automated, society has 50% unemployment of white-collar workers and capitalism is over because there is no purchasing power. There is enoug

You have market theory saying that at some point, you will not have enough seniors because no juniors were trained. So seniors will become more and more expensive due to lack of supply. At some point, it will be cheaper to take the risk and

When you have everything, you want something new and different. The whole Epstein scandal is literally about this, you want to kill babies, r*pe the kids, do sacrifice rituals, etc because nothing gives you sensory satisfaction anymore. In

I found that a big issue with it in practice is that the numbers are just not great, and the repo is very vibe-coded. When the numbers are great, it's sometimes cheating with the setup. For example some GEMMs only compute each 8th valu

Good idea, would be interesting to cross-examine the benchmarks, but the page information is completely obscured by the AI slop. The benchmarks comparison and should start immediately instead of having random completely arbitrary complex he

Many open-source communities are wrestling with similar questions. In many ways the generic frameworks end up being reference implementations for the specific solutions to copy and hill-climb towards, and it's as you say unclear what t

One thing worth to note in the competition is that 8 out of the 10 top solutions, which all happened to be optimized this way completely broke at any other input than the competition ones. The only solutions that did not break when tested w

Does the actual outcome matter or does the promise/what is sold/pushed upon society matter? Was social media a clean win for human social interaction? Was fast food the replacement of food that was promised in the 70s? Were doctor

If the task is to build something that requires abstractions, sure. But the article in question is in GPU-optimization-land, which happens to be an extremely verifiable and hill-climbable domain. Look at recent GPU programming competitions

People don't like this because you move the responsibility of verification to the reader. Does the program cheat? Does it just query a table is saved in some backend? Maybe, I don't know, you don't know, and since the author

Incentives from the article are for people who can afford to lose things, in other word rich people, people with safety nets, and people with social status. Most people dont have all these and follow incentives because its the way to go abo

No, you're right. I just dont see why the exploration of biological systems would be cheaper/more efficient in energy to do by humans rather than by computers if it provided some kind of benefit informationally in the future. Like

Ish, today I am on the fence because sometimes(half-half) its necessary, a year ago it was completely impossible, but I think its a question of context length, attention and task. Modern models can handle raw PTX pretty well. If you have be

This holds half-true. What we decided to do is essentially just hand-rolling PTX with the agents under a harness. If there is lacking some function, we write/take a CuteDSL kernel, export PTX on compilation, transform it with the harne

As much as I want to, I sadly don't think Information Theory makes sense in this setting, and I really wanted to believe this. When Shannon made his theory of information, he was always dealing with informational representations on the

So the machines should create the human-machine symbiosis for some reason, interesting... If I was the machine I would maximally want about the same symbiosis with humans as humans have with cows.

Sure, but why would it be the ends of this process. Like, the comment above is arguing for symbiosys. My question is how does symbiosis make the system better or more efficient in the end. For example, if there is something to understand or

If this is true, what prevents a fully computer search from adding noise, branching or in general simulating diversity with evolutionary methodology, much more efficiently than humans?

What is the capital market incentive for symbiosis? You are going to spend a crazy amount of time, money and effort to try to mix human behavior and cells to work with digital substrates. Or you can simply make a machine that does the same
