I use UEFI but I am going to be honest I kind of hate it. I miss the simplicity of BIOS, UEFI is so over-engineered.

I mean expensive relative to who, Nvidia? Both are enjoying little to no competition in their respective niche and are using that monopoly power to extract massive margins. I have no doubt it could be much cheaper if there was actual comp

$10k to run a 4 bit quantized model. Ouch.

Not promising is not the same as offering none. I don't think any technology solution "promises" when it comes to security.

You can remove the DRM pretty easily, which is likely why Amazon is making this change.

You can modify the weights which is exactly what they do when training initially. You do not even need to do it in exactly the same fashion. You could change things such as the optimizer and it would still work. So in my opinion it is no

The source code is absolutely open which is the traditional meaning of open source. You are wanting to expand this to include data sets, which is fine, but that is the divergence.

That's funny, phone related features are the first things I turn off on my Garmin watch when I set it up. The last thing I want is my wrist buzzing off when I am focused lol. In fact, any notifications on my wrist are just flat out o

Isn't the Jetson line more of an embedded line and not a end-user desktop? Why would you run Ubuntu?

I've bought multiple founders editions cards from the nvidia store directly. Did they stop doing that recently?

It's interesting that you think about those things without even understanding how you are going to solve the user's problem first. Aka functional requirements.

I am skeptical. You don't even know if a relevant piece of data is say a number or text before you start writing out code? You don't think at all about how you will group data together? You don't think about the operations

Is that true? There are many attention/mlp layers stacked on top of each other. Higher level layers aren't performing attention on input tokens, but instead on the output of the previous layer.

Everything you see on FB is what the algorithm shows you, unpleasant or not. So it's a tautology that everything unpleasant would be from the algorithm.

There are countless AAA teams that fail at game dev as well. It's just a really hard industry to garner success in. I'm not sure team size is the most relevant factor.

Most software is not one off little utilities/scripts, greenfield small projects, etc... That's where LLMs excel, when you don't have much context and can regurgitate solutions. It's less to do with junior/senior&#

I can guarantee you that it was just as hard before any technology developed in the last 20 years (mainly because I have lived before the era of smartphones). It might seem like the airpods are the issue, but they really aren't what g

Static computation is not reasoning (these models are not building up an argument from premises, they are merely finding statistically likely completions). Computational thinking/reasoning would be breaking down a problem into an algo

Anyone else annoyed how the ML/AI community just adopted the word "reasoning" when it seems like it is being used very out of context when looking at what the model actually does?

Yes, because we know a.) that the toxicity exists and b.) how to test for it. There is no definition of a "safe" model without significant controversy nor is there any standardized test for it. There are other reasons why that is

I never said it was walkable per se, in the sense that is commonly used to mean everything you need in life is a few blocks away :) I'm not sure the large appeal with that anyways. I work from home so no commute, but my wife does driv

We need to differentiate living paycheck to paycheck out of necessity vs. choice. It might be surprising but there are a lot of people who choose to do so because why save when you could die tomorrow.

Another problem in my mind is most creators could not afford the taxes for a high enough valuation (early on at least), but investment groups like blackrock could buy up all the copyrights/patents on the cheap. It also does not preven
