I ask myself how much the focus of this industry on transformer models is informed by the ease of computation on GPUs/NPUs, and whether better AI technology is possible but would require much greater computing power on traditional hard

It's going to be fun constantly repairing all those solar arrays. We'll be destroying our planet with the rocket launches alone. But hey! The more ridiculous the idea, the greater the chance that Trump and his conspiracy-laden cir

Sure, but you want to make sure that changes propagate as soon as possible from the central authority. And for AWS, the control plane for that authority happens to be placed in US-EAST-1. Maybe Blockchain technology can decentralize the con

They don't need an IPO. "Private equity funds" are already being offered to retail investors. Less oversight and a way to pass the risk to gullible retail investors.

It sounds like they want to avoid split-brain scenarios as much as possible while sacrificing resilience. For things like DNS, this is probably unavoidable. So, not all the responsibility can be placed on AWS. If my application relies on re

And don't forget the AI companies. People are happy to send their highly personal information (and company secrets) to them so that a chatbot can use it. Didn't OpenAI just announce a porn feature? OpenAI is receiving far more dat

For users, it was more of a debacle, with Amazon being one of the biggest companies to rely on stable permissive licensing. Users who could not afford commercial licenses or were unable to accept the new license for legal reasons found them

Be careful, or you could end up in the same situation with Flyway. I'm not sure how many contributors are employed or paid by Redgate Software. But what's to stop them from doing the same to Flyway once their competitor has made t

The commercial use permissions look murky to me. But I'm not in the legal department. What's more important is trust. What's to stop them from changing the licence again after evaluating the impact of the first change? Liquib

Ah, my fault. But that does not change the point I try to make: project ownership is equally important, if you cannot just fork and maintain some open source software yourself. It's something to include in risk calculations.

by einrealist 1y ago
The ability to fork something doesn't mean its viable or reasonable for everyone. That's a risk to users in case of both extremes: bait-and-switch tactics (mostly due to commercial motivations) or abandoned projects (see ASF Attic

Don't confuse the license with project ownership. Flyway is owned by Red Gate Software and the community edition of Flyway is licensed under Apache 2.0. Apache Atlas is owned by the Apache Software Foundation AND licensed under Apache

I have just created a task to find an alternative in case 4.x cannot be used anymore. I have nothing against someone trying to monetise useful software. However, switching from an open-source software (OSS) licence is essentially a bait-and

I call it "Vibe Prompting". Even minor changes to models can render previous prompts useless or invalidate assumptions for new prompts.

That's the assumption and motivation: > I wanted to create an architecture that minimized future work on both the admin app and the controller network layer. That way, the business could lean on its in-house development experience t

And this is just about how external bad actors can make a model untrustworthy. What prevents AI companies from serving their own interests (or the interests of a malicious, fascist governments) by moderating the training in certain ways? It

So much in this AI bubble is just fueled by a mixture of wishful thinking (by people who know better), Science Fiction (by people who don't know enough) and nihilism (by people who don't care about anything other than making money

Yep. P/E ratios - VW 6 - BYD 13 - Tesla 200 Tesla's valuation is absurdly crazy.

Perhaps this data could provide a useful example for Apple and OpenAI in their defence against Elon's laughable lawsuit. It's funny how xAI is almost at the bottom.

And people talk to GPT about very private things, using it as a shrink. What can go wrong.

Its not shipping the model in Xcode. You are still sending your data off to a remote provider, hoping that this provider behaves nicely with all this data and that the government will never force the provider to reveal your data.

A World Model is a theoretical type of model that has knowledge about the "real world" (or whatever world or bounds you define). It can infer causalities from concepts within this world. Yes, you can use Genie 3 to train other mod

That's why I call it "Vibe Prompting" instead of "Vibe Coding". If the model is changed by the gate keeper, your previous prompts might just be useless.

Good observation. To Trump, tariffs are a simple tool that he can use to demonstrate that he is taking action. It's a spectacle, something to make him appear busy. He is not interested in the details or the actual effects. There is no
