The fact that these behemoths are being powered by gas generators is horrifying

It barely exists in corporate or academic labs anymore tbh. Or at least, what you're describing has been what I've been looking for in my 10-year corporate career, and I've never found it nor met anyone who has

Hi Ronan, thanks for the article and for answering questions. My question is, how do you know when an enormous project like this, conducted over an 18-month time span is "done"? I assume you get a lot of leeway from editors and pu

I don't follow the cutting edge of AI practice super closely and I'm confused. Why are people trying to say MCP is dead? I've set up a few MCP servers (mostly language servers and servers to access my company's Confluenc

I wonder why that hasn't caught on in the states. My first thought is vandalism/people destroying or stealing the automated equipment, but surely that's not a unique problem to the US

I live right down the street from an Amazon Go store, and I like it because it's convenient when it's open, but the hours on this store stunk: it closed at 4pm sometimes. I found it very funny that this store advertised itself as

How ironic that these LLM's appear to be overfitting to the benchmark scores. Presumably these researchers deal with overfitting every day, but can't recognize it right in front of them

And the big hyperscaler cloud providers are building city-block sized data centers stuffed to the gills with these racks as far as the eye can see

The only thing standing in the way of nuclear/solar/hydroelectric data centers is local laws and regulations. All the big cloud providers are actively researching this. see Microsoft's interest in acquiring the three mile isl

really cool! I've been interested in mass timber as a building material for a couple of years now, it has a lot of potential as a replacement for steel and concrete, with the benefits of being carbon-negative and completely renewable.

Why not just get a 3.5mm to lightning adaptor? They have knock-off/generic versions at gas stations that cost like 5 dollars and it beats lugging around a whole extra device just to use your headphones

You can tell a lot about a company's priorities by how they make most of their money, and if you do that you see that Google is an Advertising/surveillance company disguised as a tech company, while Microsoft is a professional&#x2

Of all the "evil" things one could do with gargantuan wads of cash, having it sit in a bank account is just about the most innocuous thing I can think of to do with it. It seems like a wise, cautious move actually, and it seems li

Anecdotally, now is not a good time to be doing an IPO if you can help it. My company was also thinking about an IPO and is now delaying. I imagine they're waiting for market conditions to be better

I've joked since 2014 that I was born at the perfect time (1993) to never be able to buy a house, and this seems to prove that my patience in waiting out the market was not in fact a wise move. Very cool
