The very understandable desire to not have to rely on huge, centralized companies or powers for tokens has clouded people's judgment on how well these local models actually perform. They've improving, which is great, but for real

There was, let's say, significant skepticism the last time they announced something. What's changed?

There are enough people in the same boat that I would think the future would tend to support families, maybe with a bit of struggle, above all else. No matter how good computers get at devaluing labor or how expensive housing gets, kids sti

My fear is in the future it won't matter. People will accept slop because while they can be convinced it's not as good as it could be, it's good enough. To them it's good enough because it's fast and cheap not becau

It's not. The first time I ever saw kids playing soccer on their own with no adult supervision was when I left the US. I haven't seen it since I've been back. I think that's the most glaring "issue" right there

Is modern baseball "high-production-value entertainment"? For basketball and American football, those sports weren't exactly blockbusters either. The rules and strategies of those games have been carefully tailored over the y

Very few American companies know how to properly set up and self-host their own models. Even fewer actually do it. It in the context of your typical large enterprise it's not as simple as buying a rack of servers and downloading a mode

It's not talked about more because it's very uncomfortable to talk about.

I took "same" to mean "compatible driver and software stack" not "compute perf", rightly or wrongly.

Why doesn't Apple do dickovers? Or Hacker News?

I guess the entitlement comes from looking at it from the other way: my employer pays me a lot for my attention. I've accepted the arrangement so now I pay attention to their problems. If you want me to pay attention to your problem, t

Yeah this is really bad. Firefox + uBlock Origin + Filters cleans a lot of these dickovers. Some seem to slip through the cracks. There's a never ending fight between bad websites and the warriors trying to protect our attention.

I agree. My company pays for my tokens so I use the best models I can. I'm more worried about the quality of the work and the speed of accomplishing tasks than I am on saving the most money on every token. Now, if they come back and te

Companies only want to spend money on AI in order to save more money somewhere else. So if LLMs make some tasks easier but overall don't make a big dent on shipping dates because of all the friction points you mentioned, and more, then

I agree. But this will be fought tooth and nail.

Imagine if AMD focused on making their tools better instead of resorting to sleazy tactics. Imagine if the whole industry made interoperable tools that worked on open data formats and competed on merit instead of customer lock-in. Imagine t

I wonder why they're really doing this. It's definitely not for users' benefit.

There's no way to switch back to the original audio track? I agree you shouldn't have to but I'm wondering if it's possible.

I loved how easy it was to scrobble from different music services. Haven't used it in years though so I have no idea if that's still the case. Stuff like that usually rots because it's not making someone money.

Interesting idea. I've fantasized about doing something similar myself. Like someone else in this thread already said though, looks very generated, unfortunately.

"AI Systems Performance Engineering" might deserve a mention, even though it's not strictly CUDA.

It's not cynical, it's accurate. If you give corporations a free excuse for staff reductions most will grab it with both hands.

Good idea, I would like to see this. But how is this going to help them serve ads and collect user data?
