There was an article posted on HN recently about the asymmetry in cost of providing an ambulance service vs the cost of the per-ride service. The cost of a medical degree, and the training on top of the degrees, may seem waaay too high but

I assume that the reMarkable here would mainly just be used to capture the writing. It could then be examined by an LLM asynchronously.

Do you have an email? Most of these are going to be medical books. Would love to connect.

I inherited a large (to me) collection of books from the USSR from my grandfather who immigrated here. Do you know how someone could find a collector or something who would appreciate them? I'm not looking to make money here, I just do

Since you know the size of the file beforehand you may be able to overfit some kind of text diffusion model instead of a transformer? May allow you to partially correct the model output using some other method and then fill in the blanks th

I wonder how close OpenAI is getting to using the memory they purchased. Are they planning to stack a huge amount of HBM2 into these chips?

Is this true? I think SROs were very common in the US in metropolitan areas. It was common plot point in media to: 1) kick your kids out at 18, 2) if two men lived together they were assumed to be dating.

In 1970 a $300/month apartment would be ~$2000/month in today dollars. I do think rents are too high as productivity and supply chains are much more efficient. I think in the 70s we were still using black pipe for gas, iron septic

What kind of systems do you work on? Does it have production traffic? Is there a cost to downtime?

Having slower memory may not actually lead to lower memory bandwidth. The cuda cores can be broken up into compute complexes which larger blocks of memory directly attached to the cores. These could be filled with read operations from the b

I've known a few college graduates who have come up in this market. From what I see, the common pattern is to try and get a position in your field for 3-10 months. Somewhere in that time range, they burn out. Then they apply for someth

What is more important than core count is how the caching architecture is laid out. They could lay out those 6k cuda cores in a layout which provides much larger blocks of cache to smaller number of cores. That would increase the memory ban

Owning and using guns doesn't cause cognitive decline in the same way I've observed steep cognitive changes in people I know who are taken in by LLMs. I recently had a friend ask an LLM what fun things there are to do in a town we

> Also the amount of commits is suspicious. In the last two months, rsync had about as much commits as in the last two years before that. I wonder if the data looks worse or better when not doing per-10commit and instead do per-commit.

This is a really cool post but I think one metric we may want to also look at is does using agentic coding tools in one domain impact your coding abilities in another domain? A lot of people I know have been talking about getting rusty on t

I did read the other replies. I don't think my comment is that LLMs are bad. I use LLMs and agents for work. I think my "oh shit" moment is the dynamic that giving someone LLMs amplifies their impact (positive or negative). F

Just a note, P40 came out at $5700 in 2016 dollars. In 2026 dollars that is $8000 (wow!). If you bought 100k today, assuming a 1% failure rate per year your $800M investment can be traded in for about $30M. I think it is reasonable to assum

It's, from my understanding, a little bit of both. There's a failure rate of GPUs and fans. There's also changing in standards like PCIe and software stacks. LLM inference is mainly memory bandwidth constrained so I think it&
