There are a limited number of these available in comparison to demand. I think people figured out that LLMs and VLMs can do real work that can replace a lot of humans. And for plenty of jobs, it's good enough to reduce already outsourc

The compute-in-memory and neuromorphic paradigms are likely to push this much, much farther over the next decade as more radical improvements make it out of the lab. Sooner or later it will involve new materials and new nano devices and pro

Which implies that you cannot reasonably serve the "disfavored" cohort (self-funded startup or small business). In other words, you have admitted that I was correct in that the business model is deliberately aimed at businesses th

Any chance they will have this for Qwen 27 b also?

So write "WARNING: your service will go down if you exceed this limit. We cannot provide refunds for this. To avoid outages in the event of unanticipated traffic, do not enter a spend limit."

by ilaksh 4mo ago
Why is it that you claim limits are unworkable? If you can track or enforce it (others have been for years) then couldn't you make it an optional field or checkbox?

The short version is it seems like a big "gotcha" that there is no way to limit bandwidth or spending on that or other resources ahead of time, and that might be a deliberate business model that is more aimed at well-funded startu

Interesting. How does this compare to Firecracker? Also PhoenixNap looks really interesting. Do you happen to know if Linux software compatibility holds up on Ampere? 80 cores for $400 a month seems pretty good.

I specifically complained to a fly.io staff on here about their "gotcha, b*tch" usage based pricing which they basically copied from AWS, and they stood by it and other people here backed them up. No one is giving me a pile of fre

Thanks. I just looked into qemu microvms. Might be an option but I already have gvisor set up.

What's the best provider to self-host Firecracker? I feel that AWS is not a safe or cost-effective option for a self-funded startup or small business. Although is anything cost effective anymore? Hetzner just had a massive price hike.

I drove down Garnet and Grand so many times as a teenager on the way to the beach. Beings back a few memories. Most of that was thirty years ago, and the videos are from way earlier. But it's kind of interesting that some of it seems f

Great article and good description of LLM code quality problems and problems that derive from that. And fair to not want a tidal wave of slop to displace your entire craft. But this article is strangely lacking in foresight in terms of rapi

The ownership class does not really do work. What they delegate (high level plans) is generally easier to do for AI agents than things like software engineering because it does not need to be as precise or executable. However, there the wor

No, AI isn't doing anything. When someone gets stabbed, do you say "are knives stabbing people?" No, just like you don't give credit to the knife for cutting up your vegetables. "Just being aware that this phenomeno

Maybe the problem we should focus on is human behavior more than blaming what people do with technology. And when it really becomes too dangerous then we need to not have that technology around. It's not that close yet but will be in a

LLMs are replacing a lot of the inflexible phone menus, and in leading implementations, can do all of the things a human could do. Or at least, make a recommendation for things it can't do that just require a human to hit an accept but

It's not that complicated. Probably what happened is just that a former Fox News host read part of a security report that he did not understand and overreacted.

It's also possible that they literally are too dumb to realize they asked for something infeasible. For example, the same main character who apparently gave up a career as an extra in made-for-TV WWII German movies to become a very hig

What happened to that professor who owned it? I assume he passed away or something. Unless they just stole it? :P Maybe give the guy a little bit of credit for the collection even if he couldn't take care of it as well as a museum.

I guess I have kind of a long system prompt, but anyway I just said "hi there" and it replied "What's up?" and that cost me 22 cents. :P Anyway we already knew this was going to be expensive.

Look at the benchmarks. It's a big leap in some areas, but it's not like any of them are 60% better (if that could even make sense).
