Microsoft recently announced changes to copilot because, apparently, it was losing money on inference.

I thought the caption "looking normal" was possibly a bit unnecessary. Then again, I also found it rather funny. I suspect this is because I am a bad person.

Obviously in some cases a junior developer is a better investment if it's a straight up choice. Actually I think it'll be rare for a manager to be choosing between either a junior developer or a coding assistant, since each are go

He does have a point about fees. It's not really surprising that the fee structure designed for chatbots would not make sense when applied to long running tasks and agents. But an increase in prices can solve this problem. Doubtless so

Lucky for America, in the case of civilizational collapse there will be a lot of spare semiconductors thanks to almost everyone being dead!

He's producing semiconductors with a 1000nm (one micron) feature size. This kind of tech was cutting edge in the mid 80s. You might be able to produce a 32KB memory chip with it. It would be difficult to break into the RAM business wit

I don't see the OP implying that anyone should trust the government. He's simply stating it's expected that the NSA would ignore the supply chain risk designation, and that it's unexpected that we'd find out about t

Try setting up one laundry which charges by the hour and washes clothes really really slowly, and another which washes clothes at normal speed at cost plus some margin similar to your competitors. The one which maximizes ROI will not be the

Wow that is terrible. In my memory GPT 2 was more interesting than that. I remember thinking it could pass a Turing test but that output is barely better than a Markov chain. I guess I was using the large model?

by fancyfredbot 6mo ago
The article is about two models which have either 2B or 4B parameters. Both are dense models. The 2B version will certainly use less power than qwen3-coder-next. The models are quite good. They aren't just a tech demo.

"Epic refresh pull" is my personal pet hate right now. Although "like if you are watching this in <year>" on older videos is close behind.

What will happen now is not clasons problem anymore I guess. The point they seem to be making is that it never was their problem, but they were just solving it for everyone for free anyway, and in return they were doing it wrong and they sh

Someone presumably pitched this idea within HP and other people agreed it was something they should try. I guess probably HP didn't put its best and brightest in charge of call centres but still, isn't that sort of amazing? I won

I was not evicting expecting to see OpenClaw here either. It's out of keeping with the rest of the article... At least there's acknowledgement of limitations and it's not just hype. Overall a useful data point in terms of w

Intrigued to see a blatant grammatical error ("took that logic farther" should be "took that logic further"). Is this incompetence or a deliberate error to indicate human authorship? If the former then why aren't th

People derive genuine satisfaction from a job well done. A sense of purpose and of being useful is important to our wellbeing. There's nothing dystopian about a desire to do your work well.

You can target the minimum instruction set and it'll run everywhere. Albeit very slowly. Perhaps you use a fat binary to get reasonable performance in most cases. This isn't easy but it can be done (and it is being done on x86, de

So it's modular. This is normally considered a good thing. It means you don't have to pay for features you don't need. The ISA is open so there's no greedy corporation trying to upsell you. I mean there's an implem

It's a good question. Costs will be lumpy. Inference servers will have a preferred batch size. Once you have a server you can scale number of users up to that batch size for relatively low cost. Then you need to add another server (or

What made HR act in this way? They clearly felt they were protecting the company by firing this person, but they've done nothing wrong and it's unclear they posed any kind of threat to the company. Certainly the complaint about hi

Is this what motivates Sundar Pichai to work harder for Google? More money? Surely there's nothing he could want that he doesn't already have. I understand it's insulting to be paid less than other CEOs, and I get that it&#x2

If you'd bought every fad coin your brother recommended to you, even though it was a bad idea in your own judgement then I think you'd have zero dollars.
