The point is that the model has the source code in its weights. Therefore it's misleading to focus on being "only given the documentation", when it could produce a SQLite implementation in rust with no documentation at all. T

If this approach doesn't include a way to apply updated finetunes on a daily basis (also without going back to VRAM being the bottleneck) then the trash interval would be measured in hours, not months

Go find the drunkest pledge in a Stanford frat house, give him media training a stylist and a personal trainer, and ten years to craft a corporate ideolect through twitter threads and founders' retreats. That's how you get the arc

Hasn't yet. No need to be defeatist about organizing. All of the other things tech workers have to be defeatist about (pointless hype cycles, layoffs, etc.) show no signs of stopping and will effectuate more organizing over time.

It's misuse precisely because any civilian can't use the same tool. Despite how they act, cops do not have a separate set of legal rights that extend to their off-duty lives. If a cop was checking to make sure they got away with d

Where does this guy come from and what is his supposed value to OpenAI? He's apparently been there 2 weeks? Take a look at his (non-)apology tweet; full of "I don't think we should do this I just think it's a rational st

Why would distillation not be a sufficient explanation? Output tanks in quality for the exact subjects you lack high-quality input to distill from - that's not exactly a surprise.

I learned who this guy is a matter of hours ago, can someone please explain what his value is? He's not technical, nor even from the tech industry? Why does he get to do a meal culpa in public after getting there two weeks ago for slop

A lot of people still think AGI is going to happen, yes. Not the ones who actually build the thing, but the marketers above them and their eager victims in the political and business-owning classes.

Maybe, but I don't think that's necessarily a problem. "Subsidized" is a loaded word on HN because it often refers to the unsustainable consumer pricing of U.S. AI labs that will inevitably lead to market corrections. A

This is so cool, I love seeing more and more epaper projects! I would love some deeper technical blogs like what Eric Migikovsky is doing at Pebble. It was surprising to see Arduino vs ESP-IDF even mentioned as a real decision to be made fo

Agree. It's pretty clear the purpose was not to take even a small step in the direction of musicality for llms or video models. More of a typical "agentic engineering setup" blog geared to a different type of professional

Well yeah, because music is not a modality of the models involved at all. It's literally just an LLM with the timestamps of each line injected into its context, and then making an API request to image / video generators. I don&#x2

Thank you, good points. I'm just learning about this in real time. It looks like it does support transactions, but they basically destroy the performance benefits: https://vitess.io/docs/faq/sharding/adva

I had this question too, even their "Database Scaling" course doesn't get to it. https://vitess.io/docs/faq/sharding/advanced/ Looks like it's not drop-in, you need to heavily modify

I found the article very helpful from a technical perspective, and didn't focus on the number too much, as it could easily be swapped and the decision-making process for when to shard is kinda out of scope. But I hadn't considered

"Vote with money" is such a funny talking point in this discussion. It's a metaphor for actual voting, with votes, which the people already did, for politicians who are now protecting their interests. You just don't like

I guess my point is, FPTP / lesser-evilism / party lines are all tools corporate power uses to explain why outcomes keep diverging from desires within our nominal democracy. It's all well and good to lament partisanship, but

I have no moral objection, but it would just change the composition of CEOs as a group. Instead of just selecting for sociopaths, we'd start selecting for sociopaths with high pain tolerance.
