HN censorship/moderation is weird/off-putting at times. This story is right up our alley - funny and on-point with the broader ai discussion. Though it also seems somewhat censored on x; it is possible that turning grok into "

I wonder what these people get once they are hired and show up at the office (or maybe they are remote)? A laptop, a corner office, a team under them? A task to work on, free hands to do whatever? How does meta organize this band of rock st

I don’t understand why Apple is not pursuing this market. There is already a huge buy in amongst developers for their laptops. The m-series cpus are perfect for a data center, in particular for ai workloads. And having the same kind of hard

It is a widely accepted definition of AGI that it is something that is either really smart (or generates more than 100B usd in revenue). It is also clear Sam Altman and OpenAI’s core values remain intact.

They get extra tariffs as well in Europe. Some western countries allow Chinese evs without extra tariffs (Australia and the UK) but in general larger Chinese cars seem to sell better.

Yes. It is higly manipulative. But people are licking it up. It is kinda scary how effective these Washington think tanks are manufacturing consent for a naval confrontation with China.

I love the over the top aesthetics of the Thais. In many ways Thailand is the yin to the yang of Japan when it comes to style and design. Let’s hope for the day where the Thais rule consumer electronics like the Japanese once did :-D

It is a fairly common attitude amongst hosting companies. And understable from a business perspective. If you are one of the few hosting companies that host truly anonymous VPN and email providers, you are going get some troublesome custome

I agree with you. Of course, some benchmarks are still valid and will remain valid. Ie. we can make the models play chess against each other and score them on how well they do. But those benchmarks are in general fairly narrow. They don

Benchmarks seem like a fools errand at this point; overly tuning models just to specific test already published tests, rather than focusing on making them generalize. Hugging face has a leader board and it seems dominated by models that are

You probably don't need functional programming. Here is how to do it with a for-loop. You don't see many articles written like that because it kinda would be obvious that the author hasn't bothered to understand the approach

It is possible to conceive a scenario where India becomes more geopolitically risky than China in a few years. Anyway. If I was Tim Apple, I would make an "AI server". Basically take a bunch of M-series chips, attach some HBM memo

"Apple already announced plans to facilitate production of AI servers in Texas." Is that just for Apple's internal use? Or is there some new product category on its way?

Sorry. Of course you right - the game changing part is that there is now an advanced consumer os that is owned by a Chinese company - it being micro kernel is a small part but important.
