While this article is a little overenthusiastic for my taste, I think I agree with the general idea of it - and it's always kind of been my pet peeve when it comes to ML. It's a little depressing to think that's probably wher

I have always wondered how this works (along with wire bonding), especially in an economic way. Chips being cheap makes sense at the lithography / wafer level because sure, you can stamp out thousands of them at once. But once you need

A great point regarding mainframes, but isn't it somewhat irrelevant given that Oxide's computer is x86 and mainly (...only?) intended as a VM host? And I assume most people are running things in VMs nowadays, so you can "jus

While I agree with everything you've said, I also wonder if some of it comes down to how hard it is (in my perception, at least) to get access to it? With almost all other developer-facing technologies, you can get a sandbox environmen

I wonder how much is being invested into reducing the costs of inverters and MPPTs and such. ("Balance of system" seems to be the term?) I'm looking into a DIY install, and it's looking like the microinverters are going

I keep seeing people making this point as well. But like... yeah? Isn't that the whole idea, that it lets you write programs even if you're not very good at it? I'm a mediocre programmer and LLMs have certainly been useful fo

I don't understand the point of this style of argument. There are oh-so-many issues with LLMs - plagiarism/IP rights, worsening education, unmaintainable code - this should be obvious to anyone. But painting them as totally usele

There was an article that made the rounds a few weeks ago that still rings true. Basically, it feels like one is going crazy reading either "extreme" of the whole LLM conversation, with one extreme (obviously) being the "AI c

That's fair! I had interpreted OP's post more along the lines of, well, workers who aren't that in-demand or that high up the pay scale - I think it's fair to say 300k salaries and HFT gigs are out of consideration for m
