Part of me wonders if the US Government is muzzling Anthropic and OpenAI so they can stockpile NOBUS exploits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOBUS There would be a decently large incentive to restrict these models if t

Unified Memory simply isn't viable at the scale that a full Nvidia cluster operates at, and it would hamstring the parallelism that gives these clusters an edge. The current solution of Mellanox-style interconnect is probably still goi

This is a bad-faith conflation of personal data with openly-shared information. It's not contradictory at all to use HN if you're disgusted by the analytics of Reddit or X.

A lot of macOS apps are statically-linked, even interpreted programs. It's still a native app for going that route.

Anthropic and OpenAI both immediately reneged their safety/wartime limits when the feds confronted and threatened them. Now their technologies are being used in a brushfire war half the world over.

To be fair, both of America's frontier labs that fearmongered safety and human rights folded immediately during wartime. It's pretty glaringly obvious that "safety" research is a complete sham that is consistently igno

One benefit of Blender is that it does lean pretty hard into separating distinct workflows. When you're using it on a team, you can teach people one tab at a time, and let them explore sculpting or texturing if that's their skills

You can layer models across multiple GPUs for inference. If you pooled it into one system, that would be 72gb of some pretty damn fast memory. Would be great for dense models in the 30-50b range.
