The jump between the X and Y is too big. It’s more or less a 50-100% price increase depending on how you look at it. The Y is very small for the SUV form factor, and the X is very expensive. I have to imagine that there is a market for some

The funny part about our 1990s memes on big tech, is that today’s big tech is 100-1000x larger. NVidia is worth more than Germany.

Generic Outrage leads people to ignore the issues they do have control over. Local government bodies in the US are immensely powerful. You can call a city council rep and talk to them about concrete plans/actions which can happen in yo

Yup! Just fought three denials with Cigna over the last 6 months for rejections of basic appointments for a physical, an ambulance ride for a family member, and one bigger ticket health expense. They haven’t approved a single insurance clai

We already live in this world for health insurance. The ai can make plausible sounding denials which a doctor can rubber stamp. You have no ability to sue the doctor for malpractice, you cannot appeal the decision. Medical insurance is quic

I will venture my 2 cents, the equations kinda sorta look like something - but in no way approach a derivation of the wall. Specifically, I would have looked for a derivation which proved for one of/all of 1. Sequence Models relying on

The experience in green field development is very different. In the early days of a project, the LLMs opinion is about as good as the individuals starting the project. The coding standards and other items have not yet been established. The

Their other papers are on simulation and applied chemistry. Where does their expertise in Machine Learning, or Large Language Models derive from? While it's not a requirement to have published in a field before publishing in a field. H

This appears to be a position paper written by authors outside of their core field. The presentation of "the wall" is only through analogy to derivatives on the discrete values computer's operate in.

It's a tricky one, there is also a lot of push right now to use AI so developers are incentivized to drop money on subscriptions. I'd have difficulty justifying 1k/month for smaller shops - but corporations will be different.

I wonder how much capex risk there is in this model, depreciating the GPUs over 5 years is fine if you can guarantee utilization. Losing market share might be a death sentence for some of these firms as utilization falls.

Honestly, I don’t think US wages make sense any longer. We have extraordinarily profitable semi companies that don’t pay more than a third of what non profitable startups are paying software engineers. The issue seems to be one of negotiati

While earnest, I’ve heard this claim for 30 years - that it’s simple political will. The reality is that until very recently there were only two economically viable carbon neutral energy sources. We now have four, however there are real uns

What is the proposed mechanism for implementing a cut back? A global population with 8 billion people and 1950s carbon emissions implies an average living standard somewhere in the realm of the 1900s. Are you volunteering to move back to th

Wouldn’t that happen in plant based approaches as well? Or be mitigated by growing in exceptionally sterile environments? This is starting to sound like a process which will require untold quantities of anti biotics and preservatives.

Embedded AIs are pretty dumb as a product in my opinion. Why would the customer pay you instead of their existing model vendor of choice? Why do they have to learn your chatbox - when it's probably using a crappier model and lacks th

If 100 year olds were truly healthy, then I strongly suspect we'd see a shift in societal structure and expectations for retirement. Societies tolerances for a permanent upper class of retirees and a permanent lower class of workers wo

It's easy to poke at the military budget as wasteful, but human history has shown that military expenditure is at a minimum, necessary. The same cannot be said of most preferred spending avenues for the cause of the day.

If we really manage to crack the code on aging, How certain are we that it's merely something to be delayed? Apparent age is at least somewhat reversible via lifestyle factors e.g. diet/exercise/sobriety.

Human's are able to quickly converge on a pattern. While I doubt that I could immediately catch all LLMs, I can certainly catch a good portion by having simply worked with them for a time. On an infinite horizon Turing test, where I ha

The oddity here would be that the employees purchased these shares. If money changed hands, the employee would have a reasonable right to know of the liquidation preferences and their cutoff - correct?

Cancelling shares which had positive value is problematic. It's highly unclear to me why these stock holders would not be given a payout unless there were liquidation preferences. Given the employees may have purchased the shares rathe

Can you support GitHub code spaces and GitHub copilot? Easiest workflow for me is code spaces/copilot given the pricing and ease of making new dev environments. This would be a killer product in this setting as copilot is quite “chatty

The real question is how much further the top tech firms can cut costs, and how much of their expenses they can shift to NVDA. They aren’t growing particularly fast at this point.
