It's all about lowest friction + domain-name trust. Depending on third party packaging (distribution-validated install) is much higher friction.

Launching today is all about sponsored distribution channels and less about posts in specific forums. But let's hope this one beats the statistics..

I've read elsewhere that it's 10x less electricity for inference workloads compared to standard GPUs. It is not clear to me, are the model weights built into the silicon (e.g. per model tapeout), or is this a new kind of chip arch

I'm glad to see this. Almost 18 years ago I implemented a similar kexec device+memory preservation for a storage vendor. It was done on a Linux kernel of that day, and it had had a memory reservation and handoff protocol between the tw

Everyone is cooking their own harnesses (e.g. mine is a very simple tool-use loop: https://github.com/da-x/da-harness ).

Perhaps you can also provide a Tauri-based independent downloadable app.

ReactOS is already some sort of Windows Lite. And now with coding agents we can accelerate development on it.

I wish there was an objective index for 'software bloat levels' so that we can better track how stuff like this happens.

Certainly there's some Rumpelstiltskin kind of deal when trying to move fast with a vibe-coded "product".

Anthropic: It seems you feel our work is not a benefit to the public. Me: LLMs are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem.

Can human institutions regulate matrix multiplications that contain certain weights? Lessons from history: can you regular data transfers that contain certain data? AFAIK torrent downloads for TV shows and movies that otherwise get streamed

We will only know if that's true in retrospect. Cramer on Tesla IPO: “You want to get some on the deal and then get out,” Cramer said. “I think it’s going to be a bad company.” https://www.cnbc.com/2010/06/28&

For the majority of people, it seems to me that news are background noise to which they tune in occasionally, but otherwise they are just going about in their lives and it does not affect them much. However, for the few details-oriented ana

It's not only that. Also, absorption of calories from food is largely different between individuals, due to gut microbiome, generics, etc.

While I like the idea of starting a hobby OS, but the most despairing thing about it that to be useful it would always have to implement 'legacy' interfaces of other OSes. That is, it cannot stand on its own and create a new ecosy

Democracy also has a 'tyranny of the majority' vulnerability in which it can enforce policies onto minorities that could be just as harsh compared to policies imposed by autocracies. For example - Japanese American internment in W

If there are no incentives to be good at coding, almost no student would be good at coding unless they are picking it up as a hobby. Do collage tests coding proficiency? I doubt.

I'm sure they are banking on the possibility that the average book hoarder cannot tell the difference.

The "fuse the militaries / more susceptible to Israeli whims" framing seems to be the hand-wavy part of those articles. If you read the referred Section 224 you'd see details of the expanded scope of cooperation in tech

Israel itself is in favor of this, to reduce US influence on its arms exports. Everybody wins.

I think there's some sort of 'social pressure' between nations. Policies during the COVID-19 era come to mind.
