I suspect it's a tech bubble thing. Similar to how lots of people online (Reddit, HN, etc.) made a lot of noise about wanting a smaller smart phone. Apple released the iphone 12 mini, it didn't do well commercially, and was fairl

I'm optimistic - not least because the very name of the company links to its mission and the 'blank slate' concept behind the cars.

Thanks :) I guess what I'm wishing for is better awareness of areas of strength and weakness when making such decisions. I can think of people who should never have been promoted to, say, a strategic role or a team management role, but

I've been replaying the original Syndicate recently, and agree with all of your points. I wasn't very good at it either when I was playing it originally, and I think our home PC struggled, so completing the game was always a mino

I enjoyed the humour. (We’re heading towards a sad world if any attempt at levity in an article is interpreted as evidence of LLM usage by critical killjoys.) Edit: total random thought: something in your prose shouted ‘Brit’ to me very qu

I'm really struggling to understand what you're trying to communicate here; I'm even wondering if you're an LLM set up to troll, due to the weird language and confusing non-sequiturs. > The point is that knowledge&#x2

LOL, you really think that intelligence (however you want to define or measure the concept) is a guarantee that people won't make mistakes, misremember, make stuff up, or lie?

Lots of people assume, confabulate, misremember, and lie every day.

Sure, your points about the body aren’t wrong, but (as you say) LLMs are only modelling a small subset of a brain’s functions at the moment: applied knowledge, language/communication, and recently interpretation of visual data. There’s

One detail is that the memory bandwidth on the M4 Max and M3 Ultra (especially) is considerably higher than the 395+.

Can you (or anyone) share an example of such a specification document? As an amateur programmer experimenting with CC, it would be very helpful to understand the nature and depth of the information that is helpful.

I've been pondering for a while that we need to move away from layout-based written communication. As in, the need to make things look professionally laid out is an anachronism, and is (very) rarely related to comprehension of the act

Pog's a special case. :) I'm thinking more of a breakaway situation - a group of roughly equivalent riders, all knackered after a hard day in the breakaway, all vying for the stage win. If someone gets a gap, 90% of the time &#x2

Drafting’s a factor on many climbs at the crazy speeds they achieve, and it can be enough of a benefit for a slightly slower rider to keep up with a slightly faster one. That’s why it’s rare that people ride away from others on a climb with

iGPUs are typically weak, and/or aren't capable of running the LLM so the CPU is used instead. You can run things this way, but it's not fast, and it gets slower as the models go up in size. If you want things to run quick
