Are you an adept sysadmin, cloud architect, and/or data engineer? It’s a weird catch-22 giving praise like that to LLMs. If you are, then you might be able to intuit and fill in the gaps left my the LLM and not even know it. And if you

I never once suggested that… You can stay in business for a long time with no moat and billions of dollars. Long enough to find a moat even.

Sure, but none of that is moat. It’s just a feature on someone’s backlog. The proof of that is chatgpt itself. OpenAI did not pioneer a lot of those kinds of features. They saw startups doing it and just did it themselves since it’s fairly

What is their moat besides incredibly deep war chests? It’s the same for all foundation model companies. The moat is how much money that have to sell inference and pay for training.

Well as soon as matmul has a marketable use (ML predictive algorithms) nvidia was on top of it. I don’t think they were thinking of LLMs in 2014, tbf.

It’s a populist movement by a population that has felt ignored by government. That, of course, doesn’t make it a good movement, or a smart one. But, imo, it’s important to understand why populism is popping off right now.

Like how? Beer is different than tech. Not everyone has instant access to the vast majority of beer in their pocket.

Anyone can use open source, including large companies… so open source doesn’t fight against them. _also_ much of what is needed for core infrastructure is hardware, which will pretty much always end up being centralized as it’s expensive to

The 2nd quote is kind of funny, but the first one isn’t. Tech generates more money than the Times. It makes sense that the employees should be paid to reflect that. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with high paid workers striking for ev

https://www.playsuckup.com/ It’s a game where you, a vampire, convince townsfolk that you’re not, so they let you in their house. The NPCs are run by LLMs. It’s pretty interesting.

Just someone willing to build a full ARM emulator with VGA and IO in redstone. Once you can get Linux booting, you can start writing kernel modules to support the various redstone IO devices. Once that’s all hooked up, you try compiling Jav

It’s probably a cost benefit thing. How much do you benefit from 360 vision vs front facing camera. You also get some relative directional information as well with the current design.

I haven’t seen any image generator maintain spatial consistency for more than a few seconds of video (maybe a min for runway actually) Definitely nothing that maintains it for hours on end. If you have, please link them. I’m very interested
