The word valuable is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I don't personally consider the legions of people working in filling my eyeballs with advertisement valuable, but it certainly makes a lot of money.

Very interesting, thanks! 32gb for the 5090 vs 128gb for digits might put a nasty cap on unleashing all that power for interesting models. Several 5090s together would work but then we're talking about multiple times the cost (4x$2000+

How will a 5090 compare against project digits? now that they're both in the front page :)

I think it's cheap at $3000. 128gb RAM, top of the line GPU capabilities, 4tb storage... it's much better than what a top shelf mbp can do and much cheaper

I don't understand what you guys are doing. For me sonnet is great when I'm starting with a framework or project but as soon as I start doing complicated things it's just wrong all the time. Subtly wrong, which is much worse

I hope so too. I had to leave threads because my wall was 90% people talking and complaining about Twitter and Musk and memes about the same stuff. Dude, I was here _precisely_ to avoid this, but it's even worse!

I think it's more like the move to cloud. It didn't make developers obsolete but it DID make some types of jobs semi-obsolete like sysadmins and dbas. It also created new jobs like DevOps.

I was focused on counting. I counted very wrong, but caught the gorilla right away.

This document makes me want to study it so I understand what Mr Beast thinks it's the best viral video and then de-program myself so I never ever click in those. I'm halfway there, if I see a thumbnail of a guy in a ketchup bathtu

Also a big sci-fi reader. I think I lasted about 20 pages in snowcrash, something about pizza delivery or something, it was so silly it left me confused. It really soured me on trying to approach anything else by Stephenson.

but that's exactly what's happening. They have the data and they don't comply. Phone companies and ISPs get court-ordered to release data all the time and they do it or go to jail too

This game is interesting partially because it's triggering a realization in the west on how rich China is and how close they are to the west in doing high quality stuff.

Totally agree with that. It's an aid to lay bricks, doesn't do your job for you.

there's probably truth to that, but I find it's useful at a more micro-level. I don't tell the llm to write an architecture or a big piece. It's more like, I have this data in this shape, I want a function that gives dat

AI is a very strange thing where 2 seemingly smart coders use it and one comes out thinking it's obviously revolutionary and the other one thinking it's a waste of time and where 2 seemingly smart journalists use it and one thinks

I had some bitcoin from long time ago that I never touched and decided to do something with it and I had to take a look at the "current state of crypto" from a practical standpoint. I was (not very) surprised at how many scams and

I am surprised at how out of touch Schmidt is that he said all these things about WFH, AI and other topics so plainly and thought he wouldn't get massive blowback. I think he ruined his reputation with many people with this, and his re

It's funny filtering by crypto and seeing the (sometimes hazy) division between cryptography (we love this) and cryptocurrency (we hate it) terms.

Boredom can be filled with... books! I think that going for a "personal computing device" first is in general a bad idea and I'm really glad for the first ~14 years of my life I also didn't have any because I'm not

It almost sounds like an advantage? like, a positive mutation? does it allow you to push further while exercising?

If you go to youtube and look for chomsky interview or chomsky podcast and find the recent ones (the ones where he looks terrible!). There are hundreds I think. Some examples I had in my recent watch history https://www.youtube.c

Chomsky was doing so many podcasts up to the moment he disappeared from the radar presumably due to medical issues. I've seen him going for 2 hours with some nobody with 5K followers, being asked juvenile and stupid questions and answe

I suppose it was to be expected by IMHO this takes the wind out of the sails of the OpenAI / Apple deal. In the end they don't let OpenAI get into the internals of iOS / Siri, it's just a run of the mill integration. The

AFAIK almost every stock market order processing system is event driven, and they are all usually very old systems that have been successfully running for years. I've seen some implementation in investment banks, what you're usual

I wish it were true! I for one would welcome our new AI overlords. But mostly I'm just shocked at extremely smart people like Tegmark or Hinton giving these apocalyptic and sci-fi visions of LLMs taking over the world credit.

This comment thread could be from 3 years ago. What you're predicting I think has for the most part already happened. Everyone I know who used to commission Fiverr stuff has switched to AI.

Ok, you can adjust what geopolitical event we think it's significant. Again, since I'm not an expert in the matter, I'm likely to get it wrong, as it seems I did here :) But my point stands, I'd trust expert opinion over

That's a good point. Again, even as a base rate I wonder if it's any good as it seems extremely hand wavy and arbitrary, but I can see how it being part of a multi-source approach can help.
