I'm sold on "personal cyberarms" as a concept Do they include footguns from pointer bugs?

Others have chimed in on cost and size, I'll chime in on power. The 8x 5090s will require a dedicated datacentre grade power source. The Mac Studio runs on a plain jane wall socket.

This guy doesn't think deeply about any problem, possibly because he has never had to and probably because he has never wanted to. He would probably make a good residential plumber.

It seems unfair to conflate the rationalism of Berkeley, Locke, Russell and Hitchens who hold critical thinking in the highest regard, to AI maximalists, who seem to be using rationalidm mainly as a cover for their own pet ideas on social r

I'm not fully convinced that human beings aren't stochastic parrots. Much of the behaviour I observe in daily life reflects a blind adherence to set of beliefs that are an amalgation of "a person of authority said to do thi

Why not ask it to implement a chess engine first, and then use that to play against you? Does the LLM need to learn to play chess if it can build a chess engine to play for it instead?

Yup, the RAM was the main bottleneck. 8MB was the minimum for Win9x, 16MB and above led to a fast experience.

That sounds shockingly like cognitive dissonance. So what would previously be a good thesis if produced by a student over 4-6 years is suddenly now a bad result because it was produced by AI in a few weeks. One would think mathematicians wo

Engineers are needed to build real things. AI isn't there yet.

You seem to be unfamiliar about how research works. It's common to make an incremental advancement while citing prior work. The vast majority of papers out there fall into this bucket. Did the AI make incremental progress? Yes. Did it

Beautifully written post and true on many levels. The art of software stopped being an art once large amounts of capital started creeping in. There are no signs that we're returning to sanity any time soon.

The pudding is in the proof. The field is mathematics, the proof can be rigorously verified. If there is a flaw, OpenAI is out to lunch. If the proof is valid, OpenAI has produced something new.

That's good for the economy. Vanity projects help the wealth spread around. Think of all the people who received income by working on this house. It's a much bigger problem when wealth is hoarded.

Welp, that's it then. Soon HuggingFace will require an NVidia Developer account, an onerous license agreement that must be agreed to during registration and a bloated cli interface with loads of telemetry.

Start swimming in Lake America, end up in Lake Ontario. Funnily enough, Ontario is an indigenous word that predates both American and Canadian governments.

Have you explicitly enabled root access? GrapheneOS does not do so by default, in fact their documents explicitly mention that enabling root access weakens the OS's security posture. Many app protection frameworks detect root access an

Of course, because it's not the LLM that's special but the training data. Nowadays, your favourite AI service to generate code for an LLM whenever you ask for it.
