Agreed. That's why it's a good thing all computers made in the past 15 years have unified memory, not just macs. https://x.com/Lina_Hoshino/status/1820947147312820497

What's your source for this? Comptime Zig code can do pointer casts and whatnot, all emulated as if run on the target bitness/endianness/etc. And any operations that are undefined on the target platform result in a compile er

Your DNA is merely data, and humans can reliably make more of it too.

It's no surprise humans are most impressed by human-ish things, selfish as they are. But I bet a chimpanzee would be highly impressed with you if you could survive even a single day in the jungle. > doing something productive with a

That's not how you're supposed to use LLMs. You shouldn't expect a tiny little local model to know random facts about every obscure consumer product on earth. That's the job of tool calling. At best a model of this size

Yeah, and a pound of sugar cost 8oz of gold a few thousand years ago, so inflation isn't real and food insecurity is a myth. If you want a fair comparison you should look at the price of storage at the capacity required for typical con

The way you're calling a computer program "he" and "him" really skeeves me out for some reason.

Yep, that's a reasonable response. Thanks for your work.

Yes and I'm just pushing back against GP who seems to think gatekeeping that access is a good thing. And it's still way better than John Deere who (according to TFA), when the tractor detects that some wires are disconnected, want

When I bought my current car, it came with an owners manual--for free!! I can grab any data I want from the OBD port. The hardware was cheap, the software to use it is, again, free. I'm not excited about this brave new world where you

There's a big difference between "the issue was closed" and "received no acknowledgment". The former is a deliberate action. The latter could be a case of SMTP-ate-my-email.

I tested restoring my restic backups to the same PC and it worked. If I was forced to use a mac and Apple's password manager, I'd probably do the same test, conclude it worked, and then later lose all my data. If you care about ke

Don't be so generous in your assumptions. Meta simply stole the username because they could, and gave the old owner nothing in return. Or if they were lucky, maybe the band got a few Meta branded t-shirts, as was the case for one of th

zstd is the go-to compression format these days. It's even supported in low-level software such as many linux filesystems. I don't know much about duckdb but it looks like it supports zstd too: https://duckdb.org/d

That's the goal, but those smaller models don't match the price:performance of leading open-weight models, which is why companies are switching away (as explained in TFA). The open weight labs figured out some secret sauce that (s

Less opex = more profits. They can use that money to fund training. I don't see how that could possibly be a bad thing.

Again, I am talking about inference, not training. Please read.

by nvme0n1p1 1mo ago
That doesn't really answer the question. What they do internally for training the next model is a separate issue. I'm talking about the models they offer publicly. Per the article, companies are dropping OpenAI+Anthropic (partly)

If we accept the premise that the top Chinese labs are simply distilling and can't compete otherwise: why don't US labs simply do the same thing? Distill their own models and slash their costs by 99% while keeping the same quality
