If I buy a yacht for $2 millón and sell it for $4 million, it’s still an expensive yacht. Profit doesn’t make it less expensive.

If this were about a Windows or MacOS program, sure. The overlap between Linux desktop users and digital privacy concerns is pretty large.

There have been some very specific issues I and others have noticed that lead me to believe the backend for Google’s cloud based spellchecker has changed from a traditional language model to some more generalized LLM-based system. It’s gott

I strongly encourage you to see a therapist or psychiatrist (a real, human professional) to determine if you have an unhealthy dependency on a computer program. Reorganizing your sleep around an activity you refuse to stop is one of the mos

The US has been implementing similar bans sporadically as well. It's being done on a state-by-state basis due to the limited federal power structure of our government making it more difficult for minority power groups like fascists to

This article seems fun, and it's interesting, but I was waiting for the point and it never came. The author didn't do anything actually useful or impactful, they played around with a toy and mimicked a portion of what it's li

I think you might have misread our comments, that is exactly what we are lamenting.

Same here! It's very cool but my ideal use case would be on a limited ISA architecture like ESP32.

I just looked up a few old motherboards and I think you are correct! I remembered it was a brown PCI-looking bus and incorrectly assumed the only thing that matched was AGP - the VLB looks exactly like what I remember.

Probably correct, though I think I had a 486 board with an AGP slot? I didn’t have anything newer than that until the Core 2 Duo came out.

I don't know man, my parents were so poor that we lived in a tent some summers and I still managed to score among the top on standardized tests. Maybe you're just not as intelligent as you think you are, so you're looking for

Super cool! This was the CPU in my very first PC (which I got to build myself, under the tutelage of a family friend). I remember that it was cooled by nothing but a tiny stick-on heatsink and a small plastic fan that clipped on top of that

I don't think we should consider the Cybertruck alongside the other Tesla vehicles in this particular comparison. Brand aside, it's a low quality vehicle that gets outclassed by both EV and ICE trucks at half (or less, depending o

I think people are missing the forest for the trees when commenting on this one. It's not EVs vs ICE, it's Tesla vs everything else . Tesla has supply chain issues. They have always had supply chain issues. Some people have to be

It’d be fun to actually calculate this efficiency. My local power is mostly nuclear so I wonder how that works out.

Not just dangerous, but much less useful in general! Once you are making changes to a large piece of software, the context of your problem grows exponentially and you can provide less and less as summary to the LLM. Of course "prompt e

I should have specified that I am referring to their usage for experienced developers working on established projects. I think that they have much more use for someone with no/little experience just trying to get proof of concepts&#x2F

I think something people really misunderstand about these tools is that for them to be useful outside of very general, basic contexts, you have to already know the problem you want to solve, and the gist of how to solve it - and then you

Publix is expensive for general items but the sales are often incredible, I will stop by just to get BOGO items and return to Kroger or Lidl for everything else.

The bit about single-participant models being unable to generalize is really interesting. > there are no people who exhibit the ability to generate performant models for other people, nor are there any people for whom other people’s mode

Humans do much more than replicate, that is one function we have of many. What does an LLM do, other than output a weighted prediction of tokens based on its training database? Everything you can use an LLM for is a manipulation of that fun

I am not referring to taste. I am referring to its function. It had to be revised almost immediately upon entering beta because if you pulled down a menu over text, both became unreadable. Something as stupid as low opacity text UI over tex

> Claude knows - at least mostly - when its hallucinating. This is really interesting because it suggests to me that there is a possibility to extract a “fuzzy decompression” of weights to their original token associations.

That’s a really astute observation. It would be interesting if we could find a way to train models to signify when they are “stretching” the vector distance too far from the context window, because the available training data is too sparse

I think Apple’s strategic vision bas been pretty great. What they’re lacking is quality control. They need a hard-ass that will scream at them when they try to release stuff like liquid glass. It’s been too long since Jobs death and they’ve

I don’t know if that can really be applied here. I don’t know if any previous lessons can be applied here. Every one of these past innovations has been removing manual labor from something - be it household chores, traveling, having to buil

If you mean specifically the case of VC companies, this is true. I think the opposite is the case when we’re talking about “naturally grown” companies that didn’t take on serial investor money.

83 mile range vs 250+, max speed of 50MPH vs 100+, 20HP vs up to 400HP, only seats 2 and a tiny bed. I don't think this is remotely the same market.
