But you're mentioning several things that predate the current LLM craze and belong to the ML domain. These mostly benefit from GPUs but often have much lower hardware requirements. I'm talking specifically about the moat of LLM pr

I wouldn't say "completely implode", too much money was poured int it, but it's clear we're heading in that direction. You get a model that is "good enough", plus privacy, plus savings in the long term. Pa

I'm torn these days. The subject matter is interesting, but the LLM writing cliches just make it unreadable, I gave up after half a minute.

I believe you are explaining very basic things to an LLM.

I believe by now we know exactly what it's good at and what it's terrible at. The problem is that our CEO's fear of the future that pushes them to peculiar decisions that objectively make no sense (cf the infamous discussion

Thanks, that's very useful. I find people's small individual tests more important than the usual benchmarks that tend to be gamed by every single lab.

I'm very happy to pay high taxes in Europe, and enjoy everything that they bring.

My first reaction normally would be "I'm sorry for all involved". But... On second thought, I'd like say, "Good luck and I hope this ship drowns down".

Call me cynical but for me these are mostly pricing changes, the change in quality is imperceptible. I believe after a few iterations we will be closer to the real cost.

But if Republicans are Zionists, and Democrats are too, what hope is there for peace in the Middle East? I can understand that Israel's long-time strategy is to keep all their neighborhood in a state of permanent mess so that nobody is

Paradoxically they are so stupid they thought they are actually helping Orban not realizing Europeans consider them idiots.

People who say there is no free speech in Europe have never lived in an authoritarian country.

Same with me. I found a new hobby: reading pre-LLM HN. It turns out I missed so many interesting projects and discussions. Some are a bit funny in hindsight, some are inspiring. At the same time, the current version of HN is still usable, y

OK so I see someone at Microsoft decided that their strategic decisions do have impact on their income so they are implementing a crisis management strategy. The way I read this, it sounds like "We're not giving up on disabling lo

It's not exactly rosy as you say, but the leaders are increasingly open with Trump as to what they actually think (see Merz's latest comments) and he uses this as an excuse to realize what they planned a few years ago. There is ze

A specification, whether formal or less formal, is very different from the source code.

The word "expected" is a weasel word in this context, especially given how muck backlash MS has received. I'd expect a link to a study where users say: "I'd like to have an LLM integrated with my operating system an

Their whole argument is based on this sentence. So I'd expect some rationale. Instead, they provide as "example" links to Google, Microsoft and Apple. The funny thing is that the one by MS is probably the most criticized one,

True, but this is like saying 10 years ago: you don't need to learn React, you can continue coding in Angular. People do want to learn and use new tech but instead what is promoted is an access to a proprietary and (increasingly more)

Fortunately, we do have more or less open models, and they get better and better each year. Unfortunately, sama & co hunger for global domination makes them more and more expensive to run.

It's funny because I was watching a lot of amazing new tech appear after I was 35 and most of it was exciting. Learning these things was fun and rewarding. You could say it made me happier. Not sure why LLMs feel the opposite. Maybe it

I don't believe it's true about the USA, and it's even less true about Europe.
