You're missing the point. The real issue is that r/pics, a subreddit that should be about photography enthusiasm, has become so hyperfocused on politics, that it only features posts that are critical of Musk and Trump. As is evide

That's a fallacy. You can't have an advanced economy with most people sitting on the side. Money needs to keep flowing. If all that remains of the economy consists of a few datacenters talking to each other, how can the ruling cla

I think you're onto something, however, as the training is done through on text and not actual thoughts, it may take some experimentation to find these stronger words.

Europe has ARM, AMD and ASML, but everything is produced elsewhere. Time to build giant automated chip fabs.

This is about the price of 3 5090's, but it can run the full 670B model with Q8 quantitization, albeit at a few tokens per second. Doing this on GPUs would require 24 5090's (if nvlink still works, but I don't think so) or 10

I think companies such as WeWork or Servcorp try to fill that gap. I don't like working in the same room that I sleep in - you have to keep the room tidy for video calls, handle housekeeping, and hope that the seat won't break you

aha, i was wondering how that worked. Creating pure sodium using the Downs process requires a lot of electricity and I doubt this engine would be economic if that was required. But it looks really promising, >= 40% efficiency is a great

In my circle, very few people maintain a social media presence. I cannot remember posting anything on social media myself - except maybe a job update on LinkedIn, and some light anonymous trolling on X. I don't have Facebook or Instagr

This is hard to grasp. Do I understand correctly that some web pages may display a coupon code for a discount on some possible future sale. And the Honey extension detects this coupon code and replaces it with a different coupon with less d

Part of the risk is the possibility that a few key employees find a much more profitable business model and leave OpenAI, while the early investors are left holding the bag. This seems to be a recurring theme in the tech world.

That's not entirely accurate. In the US, computer-generated code can be copyrighted. The key point is that copyright protection extends to the original expression in the code, but not to its functional aspects, such as algorithms, syst

10 to 30 minutes isn't nearly enough time. In my country, when someone is hit by a train, that train is stopped on track and is only allowed to continue after it is fully cleaned up. The train company can't risk rolling into a cro

This is just a tech race. we'll get affordable 64 gb gpus in a few years, businesses want to run their own models.

There is no backdoor but the model is heavily censored and biased towards China. It refuses to discuss Chinese or North Korean politicians, Tiananmen square, Uyghurs or anything sensitive to China. It's quite positive about Putin - it

I think that underestimates public engagements in these hypes. Billions were wasted by "normal" people worldwide on VR headsets, in-game nfts, and shitcoins. Real world money, not some inflated VC capital projections. And while th

I have seen this (linking with multiple versions of the same library) for maintaining backwards compatibility, for example to support parsing a data file from a previous version, but never for selecting different algorithms.

To be the devil's advocate, wouldn't this be the same if a white kid from the Bronx dresses up as a ghost to school, only to be arrested for coming to school in a Klan uniform? To me it seems to be a huge misunderstanding on all s

Browsing the internet hasn't really changed during the last 15 years or so. I hope that this will enable development of totally new browsers or even completely different ways to use the internet.

The rust compiler (or the rust-analyzer) directs developers to use mutexes or other guards, even in single-threaded code when the use case wouldn't strictly require it. Where we would get undefined behavior in C, we get deadlocks in ru

Neither Apple or Google are in scope for this issue. This is about NVidia GPUs.

At my last project, they did "service oriented development" and everything was either a service, a viewmodel or a test. For example aLogService, a ValidationService, or an AggregationService.

I think one of the main reasons is that many apps such as banking or drm-protected apps, which are usually only offered through the official app stores, will refuse to work on a rooted or custom imaged phone. You'd have to go through y

because the gambling machines mainly fund the people who own these machines, not the club. the club could hold a single bingo evening and raise more money than a month of gambling machines would bring.

I wonder how these conversion kits affect safety. These cars are crash-tested at a specific weight distribution. Adding lots of batteries make the car behave different besides being a fire hazard. I would expect that converted cars need to
