You don't want to replicate the exact model, you want to build a system of similar capabilities.

Correct. We need open weights, open code and open data. If nobody else can reproduce what someone did there will always be security questions. Even if we can reproduce it there could still be security concerns but it's more realistic t

The compute constraints never mattered. If China had more compute they'd still end up winning because they have more people and a culture more inclined to math and science. Even if you find all this amusing, there's no own goal he

Not just likely easier. Far easier. They're so far apart on any reasonable effort scale that the comparison is basically meaningless.

Science fiction has entertained and inspired millions of people and we should all be grateful for that but it has also distorted what people think space really is. When you consider the scale of space it becomes pretty understandable why th

In the US, there isn't one, which is why nobody in the US is currently doing it at frontier scale. And the people that were doing it stopped.

That's less than half TSMC's revenue in a quarter.

For better or worse, humans (or any animal) are a lot better at reacting than planning. I'm sure this technology will play out differently than any one of us, or any collection of us, can imagine. The possibility space is enormous.

Climate change is a political problem, not an informational problem.

My main takeaway from LeCun's thesis isn't that you can't build LLMs to do useful things better than the best human, it's that these systems don't learn arbitrary skills efficiently, like humans do. And the question

2024 is a good cut-off. I use these additional heuristics. Bad cover art. Not from a real publisher or not from an author that hasn't published before 2024. I hope that real books that just happen to slip through the cracks, that are

Nice. I wish there was something like this but that filtered out AI books.

I didn't mean nobody lives there. I meant if you plucked random people from all over the country and told them to relocate to NYC, odds are they would need a massive income increase to survive. And even then, it would be touch-and-go f

It's not unusual, but most people can't afford to live in NYC.

Religion used to be the biggest supporter of science. Then science surpassed religion in civilization relevancy. Now conservative politics is stepping up to the fight.

I don't even look at benchmarks anymore. I just try different models as they're released on our large, proprietary, systems software codebases in real, shipping products or projects that will ship eventually. It's pretty clea

In the broadest sense, I don't think we're there yet. I asked an SoC vendor to provide their chip documentation in Markdown. They refused. So, I went ahead and tried to do myself with AI. I tried various AI tools and the results r

Do they not use any memory chips in this thing?

by chrsw 4mo ago
It won't. Many people here in the US don't believe in science any more and they definitely think mRNA technology is some kind of conspiracy.

Of course this can't go on forever. Especially not on LLMs. But are we really close to the limits of what these LLMs can do? I'm not sure we are. The difference between GPT-5/Opus 4 and GPT-5.5/Opus 4.8 is striking. For

They're not. And by the time they are Open AI and Anthropic will probably be onto the next thing. Not sure what happened to Google in all this. They're falling out of the frontier race.

Not sure why this got downvoted. The amount of book slop on Amazon these days is staggering. It has completely changed my experience of shopping for books on Amazon and it's for the worse.

But they ran the numbers so there couldn't possibly be an agenda here. It's numbers.

Is this all vibe coded or human coded?
