Thinking about what feels different here, there are a couple of things that could be fun to implement: - On iOS, opening and closing an app also scales and blurs/unblurs the wallpaper at the same time that it’s animating the app enteri

Training a "frontier model" without testing the architecture is very risky. Meta trained the smaller Llama 3 models first, and then trained the 405B model on the same architecture once it had been validated on the smaller ones. La

It's cheaper and faster to train a small model, which is better for a research team to iterate on, right? If Google decides that a particular small model is really good, why wouldn't they go ahead and release it while they work on

To be specific, a single WSE-3 has the same die area as about 57 H100s. It's a big chip.

Cool, I didn’t know that. I wish it were actually used by the various music apps.

Content addressable doesn't really work here... different apps may have the same recordings encoded in different formats and bitrates, but they are still the same recording. Unless you meant "content addressable" in the sense

The music industry needs to more widely use some kind of equivalent to the ISBN that the book industry uses. A simple "ISMN" list per playlist/library would be all that would be needed to move between services when both apps

I thought the OEMs liked the idea of being able to demand high profit margins on RAM upgrades at checkout, which is especially easy to justify when the RAM is on-package with the CPU. That way no one can claim the OEM was the one choosing

I do strongly recommend using Ethernet, unless you have the WiFi-only model, but gotcha.

Mine has 128GB of onboard storage... but Apple still bans apps from downloading video, which annoys me. The streaming apps virtually all support downloading for offline viewing on iPhone, but the Apple TV just becomes a paperweight when the

The current-gen Apple TV is already overpowered for what it does, and extremely nice to use. I can think of very few changes I would like to see, and most of them are purely software.

I’m not a lawyer, but I think it’s pretty clear that piracy is not illegal because of the DMCA; it’s illegal because it violates normal copyright laws. Repealing the DMCA would not change the legal status of piracy. Repealing the DMCA als

I wish we would just repeal the DMCA. Under no circumstances should we need an exemption from the copyright office just to be able to repair an ice cream machine. It's not even a permanent exemption! The DMCA causes many weird problems

Hardware drivers certainly can be annoying, but a hobbyist struggling to bring big GPUs’ hardware drivers to a random platform is not at all indicative of how hard it would be for a company with teams of engineers. If NVidia wanted their GP

That is a good comment, and I agree things like CSR differences could be annoying, but compared to the engineering challenges of designing the Oryon cores from scratch… I still think the scope of work would be relatively small. I just don’t

Without any ARM specific optimizations, most apps wouldn’t even have to recompile and resubmit. Android apps are uploaded as bytecode, which is then AOT compiled by Google’s cloud service for the different architectures, from what I underst

But did they ever have more than one release of Claude 3 Sonnet? Or any other model prior to today? As far as I can tell, the answer is “no”. If true, then the fact that they previously had date strings would be a purely academic footnote t

On the one hand, if OpenAI makes a bad choice, it’s still a bad choice to copy it. On the other hand, OpenAI has moved to a naming convention where they seem to use a name for the model: “GPT-4”, “GPT-4 Turbo”, “GPT-4o”, “GPT-4o mini”. Sep

Translation is difficult at the best of times. I thought it was interesting how Google Translate seemingly kept coming up with different translations for the name of the program. Under “Features”, it suddenly decides the name is “Takigami”,

The Neoverse cores are substantially more powerful than something like Cortex-X4. Why would they not be suitable? It's hard to find benchmarks that are apples-to-apples in tests that would be relevant for gaming, but what little I&
