We just published an article introducing gpu.cpp, what it's for, and how it works: https://www.answer.ai/posts/2024-07-11--gpu-cpp.html

Perl literally copied Python's object system. It's weird to describe it as less "native" than Python. Python's dataclasses are just a simplified copy of the existing attrs pypi library. The implementation of them is

Yeah it's a bit surprisingly actually - as I was building this lib I was running this prompt a lot, and Sonnet 3.5 is the first one that answers it with this extra unrequested stuff.

Quite the opposite, at least in some cases. The state lives in the HTML itself, and actual dev reports of large systems rewrites from react to htmx show faster systems as a result, not slower. In practice, it depends on what you're doi

The unique and very special aspect of HTMX's approach is that it changes just 4 things in browser behavior (list from the Hypermedia book): - Any element should be able to make HTTP requests - Any event should be able to trig

In the article it's shown that the CEO stated that you only have to pay if you make $50k+ as a software engineer. According to the article, they have not had court victories to support their claims.

If someone is generating spam and disinformation, or mimicking voices and generating revenge porn, it is a deployment under the definition of 'deploy' in the article. So under the proposal there, this would be regulated.

You do see the words you just pasted which say "that is not to say that running a model can’t be used to do something harmful", don't you?

That argument does not appear in the article. The article says that actually the current bill does not cover any models at all, and gives advice on how to change it so it does. It never makes any claim that AI is safe. A lot of people read

It'll take me a while to digest today's changes, so I don't have an educated opinion about them as yet. Yes, companies like Meta will no longer be able to open-source their models, once their compute reaches the threshold, if

Yes I considered that option, but it's mathematically impossible. There's no way to make it so that a general purpose learned mathematical function can't be tweaked downstream to do whatever someone chooses. So in that sense

I just want to take advantage of this news to say: I love HTMX so much! :D It makes web development fun again. I can still use all the fancy js libs I want -- but my main logic lives on the server, using plain HTTP and HTML. Really clear an

Interestingly enough, in this case none of the 3 sponsoring organizations are dominant tech companies. Rather, they are well-funded AI safety orgs -- although, to be fair, these orgs generally get their money from folks that are some of the

Hi Jeremy here - I wrote this article. The deeper I got into studying this, the more I realised the people writing the laws that will regulate AI actually don't really understand what they're regulating at all. So I created this t

It sounds like you do agree with affuture.org though. The proposed draft does not hold models used for non-academic reasons to a higher standard, and "models that can't be commercialized" are covered by it. It will be f

You're missing the point. Liability here would also fall on the open source developer who created a general purpose model, which someone else then went on to fine-tune and prompt to do something harmful.
