Can a benchmark meant as a joke not use a fun interpretation of results? The Qwen result has far better style points. Fun sunglasses, a shadow, a better ground, a better sky, clouds, flowers, etc. If we want to get nitty gritty about the d

I just wanted to express gratitude to you guys, you do great work. However, it is a little annoying to have to redownload big models though and keeping up with the AI news and community sentiment is a full time job. I wish there was some me

They include their auditor's reports in their document, around page 100: https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_Pr... Do you also distrust those?

You also have to consider the outside intervention forcibly imposed upon Germany, after being defeated in war both times, and how the first round of that contributed directly to WWII. It's not exactly a playbook to copy verbatim.

That describes someone with maybe an irresponsible but manageable gambling habit, not a gambling addict. Maybe it's because of pay-at-the-pump popularity now but have you never seen someone standing off to the side of the main gas stat

To be fair to your field, that advancement seems expected, no? We can do things to LLMs that we can't ethically or practically do to humans.

You can buy a full day's worth of energy storage with an array of LiFePO4 batteries for less than the typical 3% estimate of annual home improvement and maintenance costs you should be budgeting for as a homeowner. The cost problem usu

In terms of ability, maybe, in terms of speed, it's not even close. Check out the Prompt Processing speeds between them: https://kyuz0.github.io/amd-strix-halo-toolboxes/ gpt-oss-120b is over 600 tokens/s PP

The last time my company did layoffs they offered the same generous severance package afterwards to anyone else who wanted it. We had three people take the offer.

Using any popular datacenter's IP range for a personal VPN is likely to be outright blocked.

Super useful. I have a no-name USB microscope that only supported iOS and Android (just look up "USB microscope" on Amazon, there's like 500 versions of the same device). The device doesn't work like a normal webcam so y

Neither of those specifications seem all that large or ridiculous. You've been able to buy those specs on a Mac since the late Intel days and there's some popular activities and common career paths which quickly butt into the limi

I don't think this is true, but you won't be able to just grab a shirt off the rack and rock it. Look at Penn Jillette when he was larger, as an example. He was always dressed to the nines. He also strategically incorporated vests

It's caring about the wrong thing if you're looking to improve your life though. You need to logically reason through norms and expectations and realize you gotta put on the correct costume for the setting, even if you don't

I'll bolster it. I've worked on a site-you-have-heard-of. They were struggling and as a response they would change marketing leadership basically every year to try to find a new way to reach a new or different demographic. Every y

Nah, analytics. Some PM needs to know which operands are most used so they can optimize the calculator layout to improve the UX. And for the least used operands, they'll take a pragmatic stance and remove them to clean up the interface

It's less work at this point to just wipe the drive and install linux.

This was someone equating a chopped up tofu pattie with Beyond Meat, e.g. totally out of touch with the target market. Random ass food delivered via hamburger bun does not make it a hamburger analog, but Beyond, Impossible, etc do.

Globally, everyone does this. When someone outside of America thinks of American food, do you think they will think of Cajun gumbo, TexMex, Clam Chowder, or something you'd find on the menu at McDonalds?

Mainframes aren't going anywhere.

That's not really being "fair" though. I think the point is, if everyone who cares about "repairability" constantly chooses garbage for what's usually a least used attribute of the purchase, does their opinion

That's just a broken, compromised Windows laptop. A true "master of nothing" device. Windows is a miserable tablet OS and a tablet that uses a kickstand makes it a pain to use in desktop mode.

I'm in the same boat. I use AI to generate tons of small things for work. None of it is shareable online because it's unique to my workplace and it's not some generic reusable tool, and for the most part the scripts are borin

Gemma and GPT-OSS are both useful. Neither are threats to their frontier models though.

Works great for these type of MOE models. The ability to have large amounts of VRAM let you run different models in parallel easily, or to have actually useful context sizes. Dense models can get sluggish though. AMD's ROCm support has

What was wrong is that they had to foot the bill. Now Google does the hard and expensive part for them.
