ECC is standard at this point (current RAM flips so many bits it's basically mandatory). Also, most CPUs have "machine checks" that are supposed to detect incorrect computations + alert the OS. However, there are still gaps.

The one where he accuses Trump of retaliating against Anthropic after failing to solicit a bribe? That should be the headline here. We know Trump personally made $4B last year, and we know he's been using the full power of the US go

You got me wondering, so I checked to see how much Anthropic's bribed Trump so far. According to Dario, Trump has been soliciting bribes, but they refused to pay, and the contract "renegotiation" is retribution: https:&#x2F

I'd imagine it'd open the federal government to such a suit. It stole money from consumers in the form of illegal tariffs, then refunded the money to people with no obvious relationship to the victims.

If there was any justice at all left in this country, a class action lawsuit with the entire US population as the class would arrange for the tariff refunds to go to individuals, not companies. That'd neatly address this particular ins

The people selling the debt thought there was a ~ 20% chance the money would be collected. Is there any proof he didn't have insider information? With this administration + court, it's rare when some sort of fraud, bribes, or p

So, the false negative rate was 84%, but what was the false positive rate? They have a table "AUTOMATIC SCAN RESULTS (263 URLS)" that sort of presents this information. Of the 9 sites that were negatives, they say they incorrectl

I really think a small amount of education on what LLMs actually are (document completers) and how context works (like present it as a top-level UI element, complete with fork and rollback) would solve most of these issues. Given how they w

There's no legal basis for blocking defense contractors from using them. Trump's claiming he can do so, but the law doesn't back him up. He'll lose in any fair court, or any corrupt court that values billionaire intere

They basically are cancelling the contract, but there are some nuances on Anthropic's side. The contract probably has stipulations that prevent them from doing it overnight, so it might be illegal (but ethical) for them to just turn o

Yes, Musk is guilty of treason for exactly that reason. He directly sabotaged a major US military operation in Ukraine. However, the military is bound by US and international law. It's clear they're not going to obey either of t

I run AI applications all the time in exactly those situations. The models range from 2GB (vector models) 30GB (small LLMs) to 100GB (medium LLMs). None of those fit in 4MB of cache (the per-core on this part), or 1GB (the aggregate cache)
