You do understand that those who do not procreate inevitably die out in the long run, right? That does not bode well for the taxable base either, and therefore for the roads.

This is from a small model. 32B and 70B answer this correctly. "Arrowroot" too. Interestingly, 32B's "thinking" is a lot shorter and it seems to be more "sure". Could be because it's based on Qwen rat

If they just wanted to win, they wouldn't be offering these models for free. Meta is also trying to salt the earth for the other players. "Commoditize your complements".

Too late, I think. Once not having kids becomes "normal" and socially acceptable, it'll take a lot of heavy handed propaganda and much stronger incentives to convince people otherwise. Raising kids is a civilizationally neces

How do you "copy" something like that if OpenAI did not disclose any of the details?

Downloaded the 14B, 32B, and 70B variants to my Ollama instance. All three are very impressive, subjectively much more capable than QwQ. 70B especially, unsurprisingly. Gave it some coding problems, even 14B did a pretty good job. I wish I

Because it has other side effects, ones it was initially designed for: vasodilation. It can, therefore, drop your blood pressure to an unsafe level if you take too much, which can be deadly.

It's remarkable how effectively China is salting the earth for OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, Google, and X.ai with a small fraction of those companies compute capacity. Sanctions tend to backfire in unpredictable ways sometimes. Reasoning m

Probably doesn't want Tesla banned everywhere on "national security grounds". The car is chock full of sensors and it phones home all the time. If I were Apple or Google I'd be against this ban as well, for the same reas

Even in quantity, those rounds are $1 apiece, more for actual military ammo (as opposed to budget, hobbyist options). Imagine setting thick stacks of hundred dollar bills on fire without hitting anything. That's the downside of this ot

Maybe they can build an editor with a working remote SSH extension. The one in Cursor has been busted for months.

Word is Musk is offering to buy a controlling stake as well. The whole thing is a racket though: ByteDance is already 60% owned by global institutional investors, including firms such as Blackrock, Susquehanna International Group, Carlyle G

Yes, they too would like to show how totalitarian the "democrats" are. Jokes aside, the buck stops with the guy who signs the bill into law. Too bad the guy signing the bill didn't even understand what he was signing this tim

Do you mean the ban, or the removal of the ban? I'm confused. Because I'm pretty sure the ban is at least in part supported by Zuck, and that's why he gave $300M+ to elect a vegetable in 2020, and that's why Meta is spen

Masterful PR move by Trump. Two ways to win, no way to lose: he gets control of the narrative there (if not TikTok itself, via one of his cronies), and he shows how totalitarian the "democrats" are.

Do you realize that the same exact logic can apply to any US company abroad? Not just social networking, _any_ company. We are everyone else's "geopolitical adversary" too. Or is it "different" and I "don'

That's actually a good thing. That's how you get a ton of DRAM without it costing a fortune. M2 Ultra is able to get GPU-like 800GB/sec with DDR4. From that it follows that if you can design a specialized chip, you can get a

You have to be more specific with that question. The "traditional" NLP has by now been killed twice: first by classical machine learning (which significantly reduced the need for linguists), and now by deep learning (which has all

$250B and depleted arsenals say otherwise. It's a proxy war. It's been a proxy war by design all along: https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_briefs/R...

It's not on the table in the first place. Trump is just forcing fake news MSM to talk about BS to disorient them and make it harder to attack his transition. Expect more of this - he seems to be advised by someone competent this time.

They can do what India and some other countries do, and legislatively ignore pharmaceutical patents when it comes to public health if drug is deemed unaffordable.

There's no need to spend unfathomable amounts. We just need to establish and enforce the favored nation status if they want to sell their drugs here. No drug (least of all US developed drug) should cost more in the US than it does else

NATO is currently losing a conventional proxy war against it, that's how. Which only reinforces my point: there's zero reason to believe that either proxy or direct confrontation with China can be "won".

How do you know how it operates? Have you been to China? Or do you just uncritically gulp down state propaganda about it, like most Americans?

I wonder what makes people believe that the US currently enjoys any kind of a meaningful "military advantage" over e.g. China? After failing to defeat the Taliban and running from the Houthis especially. This seems like a very dan

Yeah, we saw pretty well how the US "stands for civil liberties and free speech" in the last few years. Also, you might need to adjust your tinfoil hat, it seems a bit too tight.

The "aggressive nation" of China has not been militarily active since 1979. The US has killed several million people (overwhelmingly civilians) in 17 wars and other military interventions since then, directly and by proxy.

We'll see I guess. Trump at least got us out of Afghanistan. There are early signs that he managed some kind of a (temporary) settlement in Gaza also, even before inauguration. Will he wind down everything? Probably not. But by god, so

It's not a "fantasy" at all. That's how Google was for me circa 2008-2009 when I joined it and until I left in 2015. In fact this made it difficult for me to accept anything less than that. There was so much opportunity,

Whether something is worthwhile or not is usually up for debate - not all projects are equally worthwhile. Having more "worthwhile" projects than engineering resources gives engineers a choice of work. That too is a good signal fo
