>The estimated training time for the end-to-end model on an 8×H100 machine is 2.6 days. That's a $250,000 machine for the micro budget. Or if you don't want to do it locally ~$2,000 to do it on someone else's machine for t

Can you explain why every good phone that Nokia released during the period was killed instantly? To this day I've not seen a phone that felt more responsive than the Nokia N9, which also looked amazing. Yet it was killed pretty much th

This was about a year ago so it was Claude 3 Opus for summaries and interrogation. Since then pretty much anything over 70b is good enough. And baby sit means hire something between a secretary developer that makes sure that important meeti

HN is not only filled with people who never learned how to code, it's filled with people who never learned how to write either. Hunter Thompson literally sat down and typed out every word of Hemingway's novels so he could figure o

I haven't had the chance to train diffusion models but for detection models synthetic data is absolutely how you get state of the art performance now. You just need a relatively tiny extremely high quality dataset to bootstrap from.

Should any artist be able to tell another artist: hey don't copy my work when you're learning, I don't want competition? It seems like they are deeply upset someone has figured out a way for a machine to do what artists have

It isn't, though; it's in all the meetings that happened beforehand and all the documents around them. The biggest productivity boost I ever managed was using Whisper to convert meetings to text and then a big model to summarize w

An AI agent is an LLM attached to some external tool. That's it. What people are confused about is what groups of agents are, how they are managed and how they interact with each other. They are confused because no one is building real

Reddit has been user hostile since 2014. It's just that as long as you hurt one part of the community the other parts hate you're fine. The mods are universally hated on reddit and they were the ones most impacted by the changes.

Kant must have been a hell of a philosopher that he could not only predict the laws of the US two centuries after his death, but also use them as a basis for his philosophy.

Hate is too weak a term for what I feel for Adobe. Adobe kept PDF as a proprietary format from 1992 to 2008. You got the reader for free ... on windows, with a single executable. You didn't get an editor and had to pay through the nose

We had that language, it was postscript. Then pdf came along and said: no this is too dangerous the only thing in a document should be layout information not arbitrary code. And here we are two decades later. My hatred of pdf has no end. It

The engineers are only productive because they have the support structure in place. The most productive fpga engineer I ever hired was so hopeless with git that I had to hire a second software engineer to babysit him. After I left both of t

You need obvious people to fire in the next downturn without hurting productivity too badly. A dei program labels those people for you. Ironically this is exactly the reason why dei programs were considered illegal until a decade ago.

Hardware is very much the limit. The more compute you have to train your models the better the models become. I've been working on a family of (new) deep learning models which outperform everything else that's been published, at b

The more I work with Ai the more I feel like a programmer in 1950 dreaming about the www. It will get here eventually, but barely within my lifetime and only if hardware keeps advancing the way its been for decades.
