It isn't about storing the data you send/receive. It is about having a model live through millions, or billions, of tokens doing the job. The current state becomes very important. Especially when you think about how interacting wi

So, I've been working on infinite context models (think fixed size state with a few tricks) and I think this will eventually lead to a kind of lock-in by vendor. I think it will get to the point where it is almost like hiring an employ

I think there is real value in going smaller/limiting resources. The trend is 'just make the weights bigger and throw more data at it'. It is a MBA's view of winning. We have a knob, keep turning it. It does work but it

It may seem extreme, but we need laws about digital breaking and entering/assault that cover things like this. It is being done specifically to harm you and without your consent or knowledge. That is assault. We just, as a society, nee

I generally think AWS is better than GCP and azure, but them not allowing spending caps is a big worry source for me and something that has made me pause and rethink using them. A bad click or a bad actor can create tens of thousands of dol

Hmmmm... I wonder if there is a caesar cipher font or other substitution cipher fonts out there to actually obfuscate the data. So you use this to display to a user text but the unicode is re-mapped so that a is pointing to unicode g for in

I didn't see cost. If cost is similar to flash drives then this could be massive. Every GPU ships with a lot of ram still but for AI inference and games you have 10TB of this stuff to stuff all your textures into and all your model wei

AR will happen. Exactly what that future will look like I don't know. The one thing I do know though is that meta, the same company that decided you can be AI injected into an ad without informed consent, has no business paving the pat

Chin's emissions rose by 20% from 2017 to 2024 and then flat-lined in 2025 with emissions expected to decline in 2026. That is what decarbonization looks like, the rate of change has swung massively in the right direction. The .3 in 20

You conveniently left the US out of that and the US's role in driving global emissions. China is also likely rapidly de-carbonizing right now just like they rapidly spun up. They are an issue, but the US and its policies have a massive

Is this even a fight that is possible to win here? Run enough functions and between timing comparisons (x takes 2.5 y) and rounding (things like this) and I suspect you can nail os/exact machine and possibly even other tasks running on

These are often not disclosed until you start. Day 1 'paperwork' that drastically changes the agreed upon terms of employment well after you have left a previous position. In some cases they are even forced on you after having wor

their main mem is LPDDR5x with DDR5 SODIMMs for expansion. LPDDR5x is 256GB/s? on the machines you see it implemented on which is a lot faster than the DDR5 expansion. For comparison, gddr7 on a 5070ti pumps ~900GB/s. 4x the token

It seems like there is a very health space for an MOE targeted GPU where it has essentially an 5070ti with 16gb ish GDDR7 but then also has 128 GB LPDDR5x (or even just DDR5 as expansion dimms on it?). Putting this into the same card would

All new laws should be given a trial period where the lawmakers are forced to live with them for 90 days before the public is subjected to them. At any time during that period lawmakers can change their vote.

This court has had little respect for precedent so maybe an argument here is more about the fact that rulings like this one may become more likely.

The weapons use saddens me. Ignoring that, this is interesting for electric aviation as a whole. One of my arguments about electric aviation is that burning fuel for propulsion has a lot of challenges, especially at altitude. Pushing the sp

I realize the article is pro buttons. I think a huge thing missing from the button discussion (well, maybe lightly touched on in the article) is that physical buttons and controls help guide without looking. Other buttons give feedback that

A first version is always going to be low in scale and problems will of course be found. The question isn't 'are there problems', of course there are, the question is 'are the benefits here worth more than the problems&#

This is a great example of the solar ecosystem finding new niches. Tracks are likely good because there is already constant maintenance and inspections on them as well as ready hookup to the grid or, as the article mentions, directly provid

Cooperation leads to higher value for everyone. We are now only getting the maximum minimum value because we are actively destroying cooperation. In other words, borders are stupid. When they go away you see prosperity and reduced tensions.

There is a valid debate but the example I gave clearly coerced the consumer. They had paid for something with the expectation of use and then were hit with a requirement to give consent after the transaction. We shouldn't let some grey

What does that have to do with CC? I'm not commenting on that being good/bad/legal/illegal, but CC is separate from the models. If they really are doing this maliciously it is because they are trying to ignore my 'C

So surveillance tech works. That isn't a question, it is a statement. In a perfect world only bad people would have it applied to them. The issue is that it is too easy now. When wire tapping became a thing it was a physical thing that

I think people may miss the point of a repo like this. Individually these are small puzzle pieces that can't do anything. Put them all in one place and it becomes easier to pick up pieces and try them together to see if they fit and bu
