I mean they are “startups” on the way to mega-companies. They need internal tooling to match.

We are in this fascinating stage where tokens that are nominally entirely fungible at a roughly equivalent intelligence level; yet at the same time there is huge market segmentation and differentiation in the non-tangible aspects of those t

A reminder on this topic that copyright does not protect ideas, inventions, or algorithms. Copyright protects an expression of a creative work. It makes more sense eg. with books, where of course anyone can read the book and the ideas are “

Am I reading it right, the widget is seen 5B times per day, and they recruited 8 people for testing to make sure their “redesign would work for everyone”…?

Author is clearly confused about the Anthropic case. The request rate at these generation endpoints is so high that the current batching delay is effectively negligible.

The article does not actually substantiate the claim in its title. All references are simply to articles that (at best) describe how people respond to dating apps. I would not at all be surprised if some or even most dating apps had a team

Whatever your personal feeling, judgement, or conviction on this matter; do not dismiss the other side because of a couple wingnuts saying crazy stuff (you can find them on both extremes as well as the middle). Stay curious as to why people

The problem with fentanyl is not that people are putting in too much. It’s that it’s extremely potent so it’s too easy to accidentally put too much in.

I derive the majority of my hobby satisfaction from getting stuff done, not enjoying the process of crafting software. We probably enjoy quite different aspects of tinkering! LLMs make me have so much more fun.

It’s not that hard. You would not expect 5 sec drift on phones that can sync time on the web at least once a day or once a week. A basic quartz crystal can keep time to within seconds per month of drift. High quality phones can do the same

Let's say 1.5tok/sec, and that your rig pulls 500 W. That's 10.8 tok/Wh, and assuming you pay, say 15c/kWh means you're paying in the vicinity of $13.8/mtok of output. Looking at R1 output costs on OpenRou

I hate the ad business model as much as the next person, but this is a pipe dream. Meta had ~$50b in revenue on ads last quarter, and 3.54b “daily active people” whatever that means. That’s in the order of $1/“dap”/week, and there

I mean… it’s straight up an Amazon product, not like it’s an IETF standard or something.

The ministry of state security is not issuing warnings due to an arXiv paper… it’s a different type of “poison”.

That’s actually phenomenal. I love the little archetypes, it honestly mimics HN a bit too well…

No more than 5-10% of the hourly cost of an A100 will be in actual power. It’s not a big factor.

The A100 came out 5.5 years ago and is still the staple for many AI/ML workloads. Even AI hardware just doesn’t depreciate that quickly.

I in fact did that too for a while. Definitely the most fun form of commute. That said, my biggest gripe with driving/riding as a commute is that I get really bored of taking the exact same route every single day.

I don’t enjoy the 15 minutes I spend packed in the NY subway when I have to take it during rush hour, but I do enjoy hopping on the subway off-peak when the cars are half empty and I get a seat and open my subway book. Similarly I hated bei

This thread is largely about college educated folks who represent a small minority of diversity lottery applicants. As to why the DV lottery has grown, I suspect it has a lot to do with it just having become more visible and known, growing

In the same way that every other startup tries to sweep R&D costs under the rug and say “yeah but the marginal unit economics have 50% gross margins, we’ll be a great business soon”.

They would definitely be using rubies robots given how uniform hard drives are. The only reason warehouses still have humans is that heterogeneity (different sizes, different textures, different squishiness, etc).
