Damn, when I first landed on the page I saw $7,600 and thought "for 320 cores that's pretty amazing!" but that's the default configuration with 32 cores & 64GB of memory. 320 cores starts at $28,000.. $34k with 1TB

I feel that the likely answer here is that instrumenting real-time spending limit monitoring and cut-off at GCP/AWS scale is Complicated/Expensive to do, so they choose to not do it. I suppose you could bake the limits into each s

Maybe you don't want to share, but I'm scratching my head trying to think of something I would need to talk to Anthropic's customer service about that would be urgent and un-straightfoward enough to frustrate me to the point

Yeah it sounds to me here like the urge to reach for HR had less to do with Carmack and more to do with the overall culture at Meta.

I dunno it seems better to be honest and up front about the reality of the situation - since most players experience it themselves - than to pretend like it's all roses and perfectly anti-cheat.

Yeah there's no way Microsoft isn't already using all their aggregate metrics (trillions of data points I'm sure) from their first-party studios and making a "What good looks like" training set.. Whether that set is

I think "proportional" is the key word here..

Not OP but... The universal answer to this somewhat cliche and paternalistic comment is always "but that's where my people are".. And I want to be where my people are. So I choose to make informed trade-offs.

> You don’t really get better at them in the same sense as before, you just type something and pray. I very much disagree with this. I've spent the last 18 months working with LLMs daily at my work (I'm not exaggerating here)

Fair enough! My original comment was pretty generic and flippant. That's totally valid.

I am in no way implying that these advancements should/would make me better than a skilled professional, nor do I believe they will ever replace true expertise or craft. These kinds of advancements lower the bar for entry and reduce th

That's fair, and perhaps a different kind of multi-modal model will emerge that is better at learning and interacting with UIs.. Or maybe applications will develop new interfaces to meet LLMs in the middle, sort of how MCP servers are

I think that kind of multi-modal work is ongoing but not as advanced as text-based LLMs are today. All these kinds of generators are LLM-via-text-proxy in the sense that people are using LLM's excellent text generation properties to ge

Yeah but remember this tool is, today, the worst it will ever be. This kind of work will only improve, and we're in early days for these kinds of applications of LLM tech.

> Is there no extra cost associated with machining the faster engine? There probably is but it's much less than the cost of having different engines for different performance specs of the same model of car (which is very common).

Sure but that's not what the person I was replying to was talking about, nor what I was talking about. Cost of access is absolutely a problem in tech. The problem can certainly be multi-faceted though.

Eh back in the day computers were expensive and not everyone could afford one (and I don't mean a library computer that you can work on, one you can code and hack on). The ubiquity of computing is not something that's been around

Which courts exactly? The world is bigger than the USA. Just because American tech giants have captured and corrupted legislators in the US doesn't mean the rest of the world will follow.

Inspect the page, look at the .content DIV and disable the "column-count" and "font-size" properties for a much better reading experience. Or use your browser's reading/focus mode.

I'll assume good faith here: AirBnB rentals typically make more money for apartment and condo owners than long-term rentals, at least in big cities (that attract tourists) where there's often already scarce housing and not a lot o
