That's like saying not wanting to work 14 hours a day in a coal mine is selfish because it's at the expense of global prosperity.

I think it's such a vague term. If you showed someone in 2010 what we have now they would say it's science fiction.

How are the smaller hosting providers going to buy cheap hardware?

Hetzner can't magically buy cheap hardware and prices have multiplied the last year.

PaddleOCR (also from Baidu) is pretty damn good actually.

It absolutely hasn't been solved, it's just got pretty decent in recent years.

Unless you think someone's going to build it, and either it's you or them, and you hope you can do it less horrifically.

It's pricing is a lot cheaper if you can run it yourself.

Sure, you need the right place, but it's not like there's a shortage of space far away from everything.

I think it's not that hard of a problem in general. There are plenty of abandoned mines with tons of space where you can forget about it forever.

Nothing can beat the Python numpy/ML ecosystem. There's a lot of value in just being able to run a Python script as well without any compilation step. The typing isn't perfect right now but it's usable. For vectorizable

The difference is that LLMs may or may not be sentient in the domain of human language, which we can relate to, unlike the domain of chess.

For me it was the original DALL-E project page.

I think it's niche now because getting the hardware to run it is expensive and the quantized models don't work as well. If those improve then it would be a no brainer to pay one off for the hardware instead of a fortune for API ca

Yeah, that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

The live music experience would be terrible if only the richest fans can get in. Every crowd would be old and square.

I'm quite happy with the status quo that I don't need to negotiate escrow with every random online service or store.

If I get sent a fake (or no) product by someone halfway around the world there's absolutely no way I'm getting my money back in small claims court.

It's not hard if E is in tune already. :)

Yes, we can't immediately convert all vehicles to electric and gas boilers to heat pumps, so if we lose access to gas and oil we're kind of screwed. Orbán had 16 years of unlimited power to diversify from Russia as the only source

In my part of Europe (Hungary), on a sunny day we have more energy produced from solar (on top of about 50% nuclear) than we can actually use. Sometimes we're 110% zero-carbon and it's because of solar and nuclear. As of writing t

In the US it's often not the last mile, but the last 10 or 100 miles. I'm saying this as someone enjoying fantastic public transport in Budapest.

90% of the actual code writing? Yes. The actually valuable part is coming up with the ideas for what to do. There isn't going to be a great reset where everyone goes back to coding by hand any more than we're going back to typeset

I think the very smart people already work at Google and the 40B buys some of the rest.

Imagine you're a typesetter and they just invented computerized printing.

I know I'm thinking, I have no idea if you're thinking, or if you're a human or an LLM. But I wouldn't assume you aren't thinking just from reading your output.

This is such a boring cliche by now. "thinking" and "knowing what it's doing" are totally vague statements that we barely understand about the human mind but in every comment section about AI people definitively sta

But they're pretty fast and can have loads of RAM, which would be prohibitively expensive with Nvidia.
