The phrase “unsustainable gigantic moral hazard” applies to the current pharmaceutical and health industry. You know, the one that killed millions with opioids. As far as I am concerned, burn it all down and put the most unhinged cokehead

I guess that would make AppleCare a bucket of compost.

Literally all smartphones dying at once is preferable because they are all backed up into heavy duty databases. You can restore every phone from the cloud in this thought experiment. You can not restore a data center from a pile of phones

I didn’t comment earlier so I can’t move a goalpost I never set down. I agree with the root comment that there may be more instances of SQLite, the most important data is not in SQLite. For what it’s worth, I have used any number of d

It most definitely does and I’m serving several read-only production databases from memory. It is insanely fast if you do it right. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgprewarm.html

The number of societal-wide problems that occur if your Lightroom database gets corrupted is zero. The amount of hell that would be unleashed if the financial systems layers upon layers of database transactions got broken is impossible to c

Yeah and the GitHub for .cpp links directly to ollama - it’s literally advertised by the core maintainer as a good project.

I answered the financial thinking in another reply, but another factor is I need to know if the model today is exactly the same as tomorrow for reliable scientific benchmarking. I need to tell if I change I made was impactful, but if the mo

So my main motivation is not so much to have the lowest cost, but to have the most predictable cost. Knowing up front this is my fixed ML budget gives me peace of mind and gives me room to try stupid ideas without worrying about it. Where

I’m doing non-interactive tasks, but in terms of the A6000 running llama3 70b in chat mode it’s as usable as any of the commercial offerings in terms of speed. I read quickly and it’s faster than I read.

It’s hard not to think this is just the FAA trying to protect Boeing again by making it look like Airbus is equally bad. FAA should just be rehoused under department of commerce where the job is actually to promote and protect American busi

I dropped $5k on an A6000 and I can run llama3:70b day and night for the price of my electricity bill. I’ve gone through hundreds of millions, maybe billions, of tokens in the past year. This article is just “cloud is expensive” 101. Nothin

This is why you need proactive privacy evaluations before you ship. The standard of the past 25 years of “let’s violate every privacy law and know it won’t catch up with us” is over. You either ship privacy complaint product, which means

I read that article earlier, but it didn’t mention Boeing so I wasn’t questioning it. But where Boeing goes, bad things follow.

Starting today we are using solar power so Gemini can generate infinite scammy blogs and websites. Google Search will then use hydropower to index this LLM spam into our search engine. Next, our wind powered Display Ads network turns visits

Arrival and Dune Part 1 are both really good, 10/10, adaptations. Dune 2 to me shows that even with an amazingly talented adapter/director, that there are some limits to what can be conveyed from literature to film. The limit in D

She’s low-key one of the most successful engineers ever in terms of bringing cutting edge technology to the mass market, but AMD never gets the fawning press attention of NVIDIA, and still has the lingering image of being the poorer cousin

The WWDC show got on my nerves with the corpspeak, but this is pretty cool stuff. I’ve been trying to make smaller more efficient models in my own work. I hope Apple publish some actual papers.

My favorite thing with names is I have some people in my contacts who have names that are phonetically similar to English words. When I type those words in a text or email, Siri will change those words to people’s names.

Ah yes, them saying “we’re bad at it on purpose, but are scrambling to throw random features in our next release” is definitely a great defense.

Apple bought Siri 14 years ago, derailed the progress and promise it had by neglect, and ended up needing a bail out from Sam once he kicked their ass in assistants. Call it whatever you want.

It came from Google employees who left to found startups. Google had technical founders, now it’s run by MBAs and they are having a Kodak Moment.

There’s a lot I don’t like about Sam Altman. There’s a lot I don’t like about OpenAI. But goddamn they absolutely leapfrogged Google and Apple and it’s completely amazing to see these trillion dollar companies play catch-up with a start-up.
