You clearly haven't read anything about AI accidents and late developments, besides headlines.

In order to understand the rational argument, one needs to follow closely the latest developments of misaligned AI (I think only few are doing so). The most important readings IMO are the METR analysis of the HuggingFace incident and the AI

Long term, humanity is 100% guaranteed to be dominated. The question is when; currently, AI has no physical hosts to reside in, and it's not intelligent/adaptable enough (it doesn't need to be AGI, though). However, we'r

It is true that, currently, AI does not have any physical "host" in which to reside. However, the missing link in this reasoning is that AI will almost certainly become far more widely deployed in the future than it is today, and

All the progress up to now has had one thing in common: the degree of understanding and control that humans have. Even when it comes to global warming, we understand the causes and can act on them. AI is an exception. We're already los

Astra is the only model that correctly depicts occlusion of crank and leg, although interestingly, at max and medium levels (not in between).

Can the downvoters elaborate? 1. WSL is effectively Linux. 2. Most importantly, Linux support is mediocre at best (I owned 10+ laptops) - for developers who don't want to pull their hair on hardware incompatibilities, or want to be bou

by pizza234 28d ago
Difficult to asses whether it's overall a good or bad thing, but operatively speaking, WSL basically makes any machine a working Linux machine. The year of the linux machine arrived :)

As a previous owner of a Chuwi laptop, I think Chuwi is a wasted opportunity. They essentially make product bottom-quality knockoffs, at the lowest possible price. If they just decided to invest, say, 20% more on quality, they'd have v

There are - see the RTX Pro 6000, which has 96 GB. There are a few problems though, primarily, a GPU with lots of VRAM and very high bandwidth is inherently very expensive (on top of which there is also the CUDA premium); AI use cases are b

by pizza234 1mo ago
Not a hardware engineer, but it's mainly because of RAM wires/channels (not implying that this is "simple" form an engineering perspective). Using the published bandwidths, the math is 170 * 1 and 153 * 8.

I spent around 5k on a server for "AI stuff" and it's currently doing no AI, because local LLMs (at least on systems with 32 GB VRAM) can only do only very basic stuff; this includes Qwen3.8 - in spite of the reverse engineer

It depends on what one's idea of an implementation is and what one's expectations are. If an implementation is "a black box that works," absolutely, LLMs are fine. They can create complex programs in full. But if one exp
