To put that in perspective, if you assume a token is 4 bytes, that’s about 164 MB/s of traffic, which sounds a bit less staggering.

There may be additional major leaps forward, and there may not. I kind of struggle to imagine what the next step actually is. Certainly there will be improvements in performance (speed) and cost. But at a point you reach a barrier where the

Our shop is forced to use Copilot on gov cloud, and it’s so useless I usually stick to manually coding. Its syntax is messy, it randomly combines lines together, flips order, or drops a couple tokens worth of output in the middle of a line,

kind of sobering to realize that whether your job can be profitably automated away comes down to what $/token some hyperscale AI provider can deliver… I suppose it’s nice that this article highlights some upward pressure on that number

It’s the exact same mental gymnastics that cause people to accuse model providers of large-scale plagiarism. That is to say, not that much gymnastics. Like a cartwheel at most.

If I’m understanding this correctly, it starts by raising this question, then argues that it’s kind of a cheap and meaningless punch-down. I’m not sure I completely agree.. I think these types of questions are more a response to the level o

No, you’d remark that your house has appreciated in value over the past 20 years. But you wouldn’t have realized any of that gain until you sold the house - the point being that the realization is the actual taxable event, which is why it m

Came here to quote the same sentence, but say the exact opposite - it seems to me that today’s LLMs are progressing far faster on the “thinking” front than the “doing”. I suppose it depends on your definition of “doing” - if it’s “writing c

Besides being a very interesting conceptual exercise, the animated figures in this article are absolutely stunning - best I’ve ever seen.

I agree, but it is still very unfortunate. It’s a lot less compelling to argue “but we killed fewer civilians, and it was only on accident”

China is the world’s largest fossil fuel importer, so this is a case where their economic incentives align with global environmental trends. I suspect they would be trying to do this regardless of whether global warming were a problem. And

If this turns out to be true, which seems increasingly likely day by day, this will be the humanitarian price against which the rest of the campaign will be measured. The US will have ceded much of the moral high ground they claimed in aven

This story is now being carried by WSJ.. the likelihood that it’s real only seems to grow each day. If true, this will be the humanitarian price the war is measured against, assuming the casualties don’t grow further.

If this spreads into a broader conflict, it remains to be seen whether Europe sticks tightly with that block. They certainly won’t align with Russia, but they may be tied so closely to China economically that they can’t afford to be dragged

Yeah… turns out you have to keep a certain balance of domestic industries to keep 350 million people employed in a capacity where they don’t want to burn down the whole system. But that would be socialism. Now you’ve got the people whose jo

I suspect this may be the case. There’s inherent inefficiency in having a human forced to translate everything into context for the LLM. You don’t get the full benefit until you allow it to be fully plugged in.

This is the biggest bottleneck. To realize the “replacement of white collar workers” fever dream, (which is, I still believe, technically feasible), you need the agent that replaces them to have all of the context they had. All of the email

Interesting idea. I do feel one of the major barriers to mass replacement of white collar workers is lack of direct integration between email/slack and LLMs. A human still needs to distill organizational needs from multiple stakeholder
