I'm curious, how well do z.ai reverse engineers protocols ? Is it good enough that we'll see Chinese device makers creating low cost hardware clones, that connect to western software ?

Let's say the goal is doing something for work, so accuracy is important, and you prefer for it to be a nice reading experience, like a good translation. As long as cloud model are somewhat better in these things, it's good that u

>> Most of the bottleneck in business isn't building the things or sourcing, it's mostly advertising/sales. That may also change with llms - they can help the buyers compare every product available, and find the best.

I'm not saying they are alive, they have consciousness, etc. But do we really know how LLM's(and the layers above, harness, RL, etc) work, or is there some emergent, surprising phenomena in those systems?

Small business might care about the cost of subscriptions if they could get high quality systems this way.

It's probably for the better over the long term, I Agree. We might be getting into complicated times, with AI and robotics, so it's much better if Europe would be more self-sufficient, militarily, technologicaly and economicaly.

It's not just inference, some things done in data centers like simulations, testing, are complementary to inference. And in these types of hardware, the time between a successful prototype and a fully deployed product is pretty long. M

Maybe it would make sense for a single type of a desktop/laptop, for some use cases. I would be more expensive, but maybe the performance would be worth it.

What put the fear of god in governments, was the great depression(which is an indirect a result of the industrial revolution), terrible leaders rising because of it, and WWII as the result. We already have terrible leaders in many places, w

This rests on the assumption that AI can't do weird stuff. I think it depends. For measurable goals and simulatable systems, AI and other methods like evolutionary optimization can create weird things on their own. But what if the goal

I agree that the winners would be doing stuff in the physical world. And there I think the winner would be China.

What is the baseline, roughly? Let's say I want to be useful in a given domain(one with rich machine feedback), with the help of the AI, what should I study ?

A lot of the leet code problems are "math shaped". LLM's are pretty strong at that. My guess is that interview questions would test your skills combined with the llm, because when testing skill without, the difference is just

Regarding speed - now it takes much less learning to use a fast web framework(like Meteor), this means web based software will be more performant. Regarding security - i wonder: can we develop a framework that is responsible to 100% of the

There are just so many new technologies, some just as software, some in hardware,food,medicine, etc. But maybe it makes it harder to get excited from most things. For example, once you browse Anna's library, or ask Claude to develop so

Microsoft's taste was "good enough". They lost because of an app ecosystem, and because of Apple's brand power, the same way beautiful Chinese shoes will lose to Nike.

Maybe AMD will do a 3D memory layer for this chip for the kv cache. Possibly even something more dense than SRAM, like cgram, when it's ready. Could this enable a reasonable context size ?

You could probably do real-time deep research using that method, and than summarize and ask questions about the results. That is a probably a significant jump in search quality for many queries, that people didn't take the time to rese
