Apple just seems to be bleeding talent left and right. I wonder what's going on over there to cause people to leave when the job market is as uncertain as it is right now.

This is beta version. By the time they're done with this it'll be measured in single digit dollars, if not cents.

I work in this field and I would bet that in 5-10 years the situation will not be much different compared to today in terms of employment unless we invent AGI all of a sudden, which I don't see any signs that it'd even remotely ha

Claude is better most of the time on the simpler stuff, but o1 is better on some of the more difficult problems that Claude craps out on. Really $40/mo is not too much to pay for both.

It actually almost never does. To see that you'd need to benchmark. It's pretty difficult get good utilization on GPU on either compute or memory bandwidth side. A lot of kernels irretrievably fuck up both. You need long, coalesce

Biden (or whoever actually runs the country, since it's most definitely not Biden) is trying to undermine Trump's plan to turn H1-B into an auction, which is how it should be run, IMO. That's all there is to it. This will be

There are a lot more photographers now than there ever were painters, and the size of the industry is much larger than it used to be. It is true that our work will change, but personally I think that's great - I don't enjoy the in

Well, I know what will happen within about a year long time horizon. As far as at least developer assistance models are concerned the difference at the end of 2025 is not going to be dramatic, same as it was not between the end of '23

See, the thing is, to determine which abstractions are "right and proper" you _already need a software engineer_ who knows those kinds of things. Moreover, that engineer needs to ability to read that code, understand it, and plan

Nice to see my comments on their proto3 design doc vindicated, lol. There were a lot of comments on that doc, far more than what you'd usually see. Some of those comments dealt with the misguided decision to basically drop nullability

I'm a principal SWE with 25 years of experience and I think software today is comically bad and way too hard to use. So I think we can get engineers to write better software with these tools. The talk of "replacement" is goin

Why do they need 3500 people (!) to issue simple installment loans?

Feel free to suggest a more reliable proxy if you don't like this one. What this means is your chance to find a person who knows/has experience with JAX are very low.

It's scared. I'm afraid $1M won't be enough to atone for $300M you spent when you put your thumb on the scale in 2020, Zuck.

I don't get OF. Grown men pay to beat their meat to strangers. And with this you wouldn't even be talking to a real person. Just go to a goddamn bar and meet someone. I'm a nerd, and not particularly good looking, and even I

They are cheaper, yes. But GPUs are faster and easier to program.

They don't mean literally LLaMA. They mean a model with the same architecture.

Not really, no. Over the past several years, JAX was used in only 3% of top publications. PyTorch in 60%. There's no trend to suggest that JAX has "reduced the need" for anything, except for Google itself. https://

> While US has excellent education The US has absolutely abysmal primary education while spending eye watering amounts of money on it. This is plainly obvious to anyone who has ever lived abroad with kids.

Trichromy reminds me of Prokudin-Gorsky's color photographs from the 19th century. Except of course he tried to get rid of the effect. Clever!

"Chemical attack" was a lie, BTW. That came out in OPCW report shortly thereafter. You do need to read up on it. Same as "Iraqi WMDs" or "babies on bayonets" etc, a casus belli to give another few hundred billi

It is a bit surreal to read people cheering for islamist head choppers who overthrew a secular government. Remember this 10 years from now when these same head choppers blow something up in NYC. The fundamental invariant of governance stand

You can just block ads and not show any ads at all, the way Internet should be. All the crypto bullshit is trivially disabled. Your other major choices are basically Firefox (which is not to everyone's liking either) and Chrome, in whi

That's a bold precedent to create, if nothing else. Let's see how it works for them in the future, when political winds start blowing in some other direction. These things _always_ backfire.

That's very useful. To see why, try to get an LLM _reliably_ generate JSON output without this. Sometimes it will, but sometimes it'll just YOLO and produce something you didn't ask for, that can't be parsed.

Meh. Per some recent reports a significant fraction of government employees in the US already enjoys zero day work weeks, fully paid, and has enjoyed them for years.

The US owes its "economic strength" to the ability to print $2T/yr in perpetuity and buy stuff with that money. Once that tap ceases to function (which eventually it will, though not anytime soon), the US is going to be fucke

Have you seen the steep exponent on the US debt? You won't be able to leave anything to your kids if you move to the US either. Might as well enjoy 2 weeks vacation, rather than 2.

Pretty obvious stuff, right? I mean, you don't even need HBM for that, you just need a TON of memory channels. Sure, that kind of setup would only be efficient for highly coalesced reads/writes, but that's what you need these
