No one said anything about this being an "impulse" purchase -- it would usually be perceived as a "career investment" purchase, given that many feel they need to race to be with "it" or be left behind -- nor d

Can you provide a citation on this? Sounds like worthless conjecture. Please provide a arXiv claim to back up your post or delete it from HN.

Not just one, but two replies completely hung up on that. Like, why even reply when you already saw the other guy doing the same tired pedantry? Just wanted to feel like you contributed? Ignoring that it was just tosser hyperbole (that ab

Your post makes sense if you bought the hardware for other reasons, and maybe run models occasionally as a novelty. That isn't the case for many, though, and there is a whole social media space where people are hyping up the latest hom

It isn't "cheating" they're concerned with, it's sloppiness. This dictum isn't some sort of AI ban, but instead simply that if there is evidence that it was so low effort that the work includes such blatant pro

Haven't really paid attention to Altman, so can't comment there, but on the Musk file I will say it is insane that anyone relies upon his future benevolence. And they do rely upon it given that America is 100% a plutocracy now a

Seems like one of those situations where damned if they do, damned if they don't, isn't it? Like if someone is in immediate crisis what do you expect them to do? I feel like if someone is calling a line, they are looking for inter

I don't think that description underestimates it at all. Google took a moonshot and threw a lot of resources at it, but they in no way put eggs in that basket so when it didn't yield something substantial they just scattered the t

The dream of Fuchsia is effectively dead, and aside from some older Nest devices, Google only remaining efforts with the OS is basically as a tiny runtime that they'll run in VMs on Android for some secure process needs. It was just a

"We might hope that macOS would process AI tasks using the CPU and GPU rather than the neural engine, when running in a VM." That specific Geekbench test is to measure the ANE performance, which they did by setting the CoreML run

A bunch of green accounts would be a bit of a tell. They need to use established accounts, ideally pre-llm, for astroturfing. This is going to be increasingly true.

Is Meta trying to keep the US from making as much profit with Llama? Is Google with Gemma? Microsoft with Phi? It's much simpler than some flag-waving nationalism.

It seems out of step and foolish, and the cynic in me says that Anthropic has a side hustle of identity harvesting and is looking for justifications, but on the flip side, there is a real risk of pearl clutching if a child ever uses AI, and
