This may sound weird but I think the CHIPS act tempted intel to overextend. Counterintuitively they may even have been better without the money. i don’t think problem was never lack of manufacturing capacity. I think it was process tech. So

I don’t get why Israel waged war on Gaza instead of just going for the guy who ordered the attack. Any thoughts?

I don’t mind it being illegal. But I think a lot of it needs to be treated as a significant mental health issue

I really think competition is good in one sense. But of you think logically from first principles, it makes no sense to have both an a320 and 737. All this competition and “corporate greed” where we literally have two airplanes that are fun

I wonder if it’s because llm doesn’t have access to state of the art Verilog? I mean I assume the best is heavily guarded.

To be honest… it’s amazing it can have any understanding given the only “senses” it has are the 1024 inputs of d_model! Imagine trying to understand the world if you were simply given books and books in a language you had never read… and yo

I don’t understand how they can copyright just the ISA. Didn’t a recent Supreme Court case in oracle v google Java issue decide that you can copy the api if you impelement it differently? So what exactl is arm pulling? Implementation hard

Hey, we were all beginners once! On another note, even if you are experienced it helps when doing new stuff and you don’t know the proper syntax for what you want. For example let’s say your using flutter, you can just type // bol

I don't understand how React is so popular, still. With Svelte and Vue, I don't think anybody should do a new project with React.

The technology to remove pain from humans has been invented via CRISPR. It is possible to live with "congenital insensitivity to pain", so we know it can be done safely. It has been demonstrated in lab animals. I think that this

Everybody mocks me when I say this. But the most productive people in the world spent their time doing what they thought was fun. It’s like our biology is smarter than us. If it’s fun our brains are telling us there’s something about it we

We live in a day and age where it seems that all the innovations we see now are new tech that has to do with electronics. Good to see some good ol hardware breakthroughs in another industry.

I think landing a booster is just as impressive. It's just that nobody's done this before, so it's exciting! Plus it's a lot bigger and part of a fully reusable config which has huge implications for space travel.

I wish they didn’t use swiGLU and preRMSnorm so we could have a better comparison. Then we would know how much this transformer innovation helps by itself.

I have come to the conclusion that the only thing that really matters at this point in AI is funding right now. Here's why. The models are all sort of variations on the transformer architecture. But what sets models apart is $$$ worth

Yeah for sure. Here’s how I view it. When we get hurt, emotions rise and sometimes people want to see others suffer. There’s just this human instinct that wants to beat the crap out of those who we feel have wronged us. But logic tells us t
