>someone can run their code 1 million times faster than a competitor I’d bet most code we use every day spends most time just waiting for things like disk and network. Not to mention it’s probably inherently sequential.

I think one factor is that all these LLMs are tuned to be ridiculously agreeable, almost everything you say will be met with some variation of “you’re absolutely right!”. It’s like, look, I’m definitely not “absolutely right” 90% of the tim

Seems like Anthropic has too much money on their hands and are looking for ways to spend it. It’s surprising to see lean AI startups accumulate fat so quickly. Usually this sort of wheel spinning is reserved for large corporations. And it’s

My assumption is that 90%+ of those come from 1. bots 2. old people 3. third world. I don’t think this is the target audience most valuable advertisers are going for, and this type of slop probably makes other audiences want to leave the pl

Both do search, devices, OS and browsers - very natural verticals to integrate with AI, and both have cloud platforms where they can sell it to developers. With Meta I can’t think of a single existing vertical where AI would be desirable. M

What is Meta’s angle with AI? They seem to be doing a lot of research but what is the end goal? Google and MSFT I understand, Meta not so much.

Congratulations, but that's not what reflection means. Wikipedia: "reflection is the ability of a process to examine, introspect, and modify its own structure and behavior." Would you say inspect.getsource(func) fits the defi

Not strictly related, but does anyone know why JAX uses tracing and not AST via reflection?

Same, I’m not even European, but literally everyone uses WhatsApp for everything where I live, iPhones or not. The only thing I get in my Messages app is verification codes and spam. I don’t think I got a single SMS/iMessage from a h

Assuming the tech is solid, I think that if you had developed this as a browser extension to work on top of Meet/Teams/etc, not only would your dev time have been much shorter and adoption much faster, but Google/Microsoft&#x

Right, but as long as you have humans, you will probably need accountability. If a human decided to delegate killing enemy combatants to a machine, and that machine accidentally killed innocent civilians, is it really enough to just reprogr

It’s interesting that technology so transformative is only a few hundred lines of code (excluding underlying frameworks and such). How big would you guess state of the art models are, in terms of lines of code?

Most importantly, Google has the userbase to rule all userbases. I’d argue that for over 90% of people online, Google is their gateway to information. Whether it’s search, Chrome, or Android. Not to mention countless other popular apps that

I don’t understand this argument. Gov should fine/tax emissions. If the emissions are too high then tax it more. End of story. Does it really matter who is doing it and for what purpose? This reminds me of the internet going crazy over

As someone who is out of the loop, what’s the verdict on R1? Was anyone able to reproduce the results yet? Is the claim that it only took $5M to train generally accepted? It’s a very bold claim which is really shaking up the markets, so I c

Glad I’m not the only one. I could barely figure out how to start the campaign. Aside from the atrocious menu structure, they also throw all this lingo at you with zero explanation like you’re already supposed to know how everything works.
