Interesting, Grok, for a flagship AI contender was rather poorly performing. I mean, not bad, but visibly less capable.

That's the difference between European and US companies and that's exemplification of the problem that Europe has. A big problem. Firstly, Hetzner is really great, they have good service, good offers, they are rock solid, they shi

Still I am not sure why I should use their paid service instead of using publicly available infrastructure. If they go out of business, get sold what's then? DNS and friends are not going to disappear and send me "it was great jou

Interesting, but given an easy access to AI, employers would get hundreds if not thousands of wonderfully written, properly suited CV. And everyone will have cool Github portfolio (with AI-generated projects). Good luck finding the right pe

Obviously, soon, for anything valuable, you will have to buy from Anthropic "special license for biology/security/finance advises". Question is if there will be any competition in this area...

Monetization is coming. They'll tell companies, AI is replacing your workers, so it is still worth to pay 100K/year for the license, as those AI are not going to jump to other job, get sick, be late, complain, require free coffee

"Without safeguards, Fable 5’s capabilities in areas like cybersecurity could be misused to cause serious damage" What does it mean? That they have to add "safeguards" not do erase user disc, or, conversely, they are tel

#3 Trillion, or even more, will be achievable. We are at the very beginning of the monetization of AI. It all started with the free Chat GPT, and a few others. Now the standard is $20 a month if you are not using AI tools too much and you d

Why this is surprising? LLM-s are good in text generation on the base of the stuff they were trained on. Software is text generation, translation is text generation, LLMs can answer questions since billions were spent on tuning foundation m

I was wondering about all this a lot. I was teaching a lot of stuff to students: physics, math, statistics (during my university times) now I teach programming and Machine Learning. I am torn between instructional based approach, which has

I am not exactly waiting for Linux that will have obligatory ads and will take screenshots of my desktop and send them somewhere. Sorry Bill, but now, I've been through this already, I saw how superior DR DOS goes down because your mom

Well, campfire method sounds easy in the blog post only. You need an NDA from a candidate (many would not like to risk - what if someone gets job on the competing company and is sued for revealing some secrets from the campfire interview pr

Yup, same with any kind of betting - sport, even draw games. There are obviously stories that someone managed to "game the system", like a man who figured out how to find winning scratch cards (Mohan Srivastava case) or Željko Ran

I have to say I am surprised that Java is better than Go in terms of energy/time.

If this were true, nobody would be buying iPhones, nobody would be buying Teslas, in fact, nobody would be buying premium class cars.

We've been through that so many times. When UML arrived (and ALM tools suites, IBM was trying to sell it, Borland was trying to sell it, all those fancy and expensive StarTeam, Caliber and Together soft), then BPML and its friends arri

Yup, that's why molls were so successful. They were deteriorating because of Internet, as a new "moll", covid speed up the process. But, frankly speaking, molls also killed many mom & pops shops scattered in the cities. S

This tells a lot of about your dad - he must be an amazing person, so he was ready to learn something from his kid. Not everyone would be able to admit that 9 y.o. can teach him something :)

That's not true if you are on cloud. Clumsily written software becomes really expensive to run.

Well, not only Russia, there is a number of other countries that also do this. So don't count on wikipedia on any topic that might be politically difficult for someone.

Why this is surprising? This is exactly kind of task LLM excel best. This is all about text analysis and searching patterns in it? More, for a pretty long time (like 10 years) we had systems that were detecting copy-pasted master/PhD t

My guess is that capable lawyer who will be able to spot hallucination and figure out key stuff missed by AI will be satisfied to earn $500K a year, not $5M, so he will charge less. Those who charge $500/hr will simply extinct or will

The most important question is: who the hell decided to do such a stupid thing and in the name of what. When we have an answer maybe we can look on other ideas the same people figured out and also rethink them. Say, sorting thrash. EU new i

Well, this is because "normal" programming languages are one step above AST. So LLM has to work with program text, which is much easier than regular human text, as it is constrained to well defined number of keywords and grammar,

Soon, very soon, AI tools providers will figure that out. And rise prices accordingly.

How this is different from getting dedicated server from any other provider? Typically you need to pay a bit more - $40-$50 but you get more RAM and cores. And what it has to do with the "cloud"? Cloud means one use cloud-provided

Well it's in the books. O(n^2) algorithms are bad in the long run, transformers algorithm has such complexity, so not a big surprise we hit the limits.
