True, but better nvidia than any other big tech contender. Nvidia has a very strong business incentive to make huggingface thrive, whereas pretty much everyone else has the opposite incentive.

You're correct. I spoke a little too loosely, there are many different kinds of visas, but something like 95% of all work visas issued each year fall into the category of non-immigrant. I'll concede that this statistic is cold com

They are not connected - this is a pause on immigrant visas, not work visas.

If you have 100k you can just buy a few b200s.

There is no "future proof" for >1T param models, there is no present or future where you can run a model that size on consumer hardware.

Sonnet is estimated around 1T, so that is far beyond what's practical as well.

For local LLMs with a Mac, rule of thumb is you always want an Ultra (due to memory bandwidth). Even an M1 Ultra is superior to an M6 Pro in this regard. There are no configurations even close to running something comparable to frontier mo

The people are in charge of congress, and they consistently show they do not support socialized healthcare systems. It will never be a politically viable path for the u.s, regardless of the economics. Even if it somehow passed, opposition w

And someone else's bottom line is also the wages of friends and neighbors. Last I heard healthcare is like the only employment sector that's seeing real growth right now.

I'm sure they're using whatever they can get their hands on, including Anna's archive. The business process of buying books to scan offers the opportunity to ingest media that hasn't yet been digitized, but also provides

It's no more a perversion of writing than the act of using an LLM to write in the first place.

The "untestable" meme is just a thought terminating cliche. It's as if you believe no researchers ever considered the brilliant insight that the framework is difficult to test. History is littered with plenty of examples of a

> My idea is mixing deterministic nature of existing tooling (non-LLM tooling) with non-deterministic nature of LLMs. This is the fundamental idea behind every LLM harness.

TypeScript's type system is extremely expressive while still allowing you to retain the flexibility of a scripting language. v8 and JSC also have decades of performance tuning across basically every consumer device.

To be fair, a plurality of voters care more about the culture war than the economy as well.

> which is now on much shakier footing Is it though? As far as I can tell they continue to maintain total domination of web search, and LLMs do not replace search engines, they work on top of them.

Ok, now do memory capacity and bandwidth - the things that actually constraint local LLMs.

Physical reality is not software or math, LLMs can't design "equipment to manufacture autonomously".

Sure, I'm just saying, even for "mundane" computing tasks where the hardware is cheap, if you're optimizing for cost, renting hardware is always the better choice.

Well, if you only ever needed a $20 subscription's worth of tokens it would never make any sense to buy hardware since even at 2018 prices you could buy 20 years of subscriptions.

I agree, but I'd say there's obviously some verbal intelligence involved in regurgitating arbitrary knowledge on demand in a semi-convincing way. It's absolutely a stochastic parrot, but parrots have some intelligence.

by root_axis 2mo ago
I'm pretty skeptical of the LLM hype, but I'd say it's fair to describe LLMs as displaying some form verbal intelligence.

"Knowing the codebase" seems like an antithetical philosophy to LLM driven engineering orgs.
