The use of junior devs is to slowly evolve into senior devs, managers, and founders. We were just pretending otherwise, now it is explicit. I bet the number of successful junior devs is going to keep going up while the number of people coas

Interesting. By unsolved I guess I meant: this looks like it should be easy and efficient but we don't know how to do it yet. Usually this means we are missing some important science in the classification/complexity of problems. I

I think any quantization approach should work, not an expert on this.

Fun fact - single bit neural networks are decision trees. In theory, this means you can 'compile' most neural networks into chains of if-else statements but it's not well understood when this sort of approach works well.

Your argument is basically : human being will always choose money over ethics. Could be true, but a somewhat depressing worldview.

Unrelated, but want to buy a bridge? You could recoup your investment in a year by collecting toll. Expedited financing available on good credit!

Not every use case is a cloud provider or tech giant. Newer Blackwell does 200+ tokens per second on the largest models and tens of thousands on the smaller models. Most military applications require fast smaller models, I'd imagine. A

When you make the market, you too can dictate how a 'market economy' ought to work :)

No, that's not how it works. It implements the (pretty large) subset of the tool I personally need. But everyone needs a different subset, and maintaining a coherent codebase that supports everyone's need is difficult. What could

There is no getting around the fact that projects that used to take man-years are possible in an afternoon now. And this is the worst this technology is ever going to be :) Don't take my word for it, go try building something that you

This is an interesting problem to solve. I wonder if it is possible at all to have anonymity without admitting bots.

Great, except most bots don't use the API directly. They look like normal users to the server for the most part. Google has spent billions trying to distinguish bots from users. And has been largely unsuccessful n

I just gave it a try and all the state of the art models successfully avoided the tropes when told to.

Because it's the government giving out the idiotic answer here. That, in a more sane world, has all sorts of legal ramifications. For example, if you could craft a prompt for this and obtain permission to commit ..say.. white collar cr

Fun fact - on most Linux distros any user program can see almost any event, yes including key presses, by reading from the right /dev/... file. This is not surprising. The desktop Linux community reacted with hostility to the well
