Incredible writing. Reading this, I kept feeling a sense that something was missing. It wasn't until later in the blog that I hit me. "Where is her community?" To a 3rd world immigrant, the idea of being this isolated in your

To be fair, the responsibility to not-kill lies squarely at the hands of SUV drivers. SUV -> human/scooter collision is the only one that leads to fatalities. Also remember, we have infrastructure for cars, but very little for pedes

I remember a post on HN about how YAML was a terrible serialization format. A stricter subset of YAML (eg - StrictYaml) wouldve solved every single problem mentioned there. Similarly, the solution to git is a subset of git (strict git). Git

Traffic fatalities decrease because cars are getting safer. But the number or accidents per capita might not be. Pedestrian deaths have certainly been on the rise. https://www.ghsa.org/sites/default/files/publ

Yeah, and Mistral doesn't particularly care about lobotomizing the model with 'safety-training'. So it can achieve much better performance per-parameter than anthropic/google/OpenAI while being more steerable as wel

Edit- That being said, if you a cloud provider and need to scale up a bunch of basically similar transformers models, then it should be an easy sell for AMD.

Rocm will only get adoption when Cuda code can be ported over with 1 click. At the very least, pytorch has to work effortlessly across GPUs, down to the less popular and odd workarounds people build into their pyotrch code. Even if RocM rea

Life consists of only 2 realities. * you exist today * you have agency to affect tomorrow Pessimism is closer to truth. But it promotes inaction. Optimism might be wrong, but it tugs at your agency to affect the future. A future you affect

Is my intuition correct that non startup big tech is setting up shop in other cities ? Pune & Hyd in particular. Bangalore is such a waste of a good city. If they'd scaled up public transportation when they needed to, a lot of the

It has the same bed as a Ford F150 and that's the most sold "car" in the US. Reality is, no one needs a truck, but everyone buys a truck. And as long as people are buying trucks for vanity purposes, this pure vanity vehicle i

For the longest time, a section of the car enthusiast community has said that 'slow car fast is better than fast car fast'. Now a days, it is taken to mean that a light car that is fast enough is always more fun than a heavier car

The only half decent fast railway (acela) in the US costs more than an uber+flight for the same trip. I'm surprised anyone takes it at all. US rail is starting at negative 100. Only a small group of masochists (raises hand) choose to i

All movements that want to preserve their identity need a (at least benevolent) dictator and the ability to self-police. EA had neither. Therefore, it inevitably morphed into a movement that none of the original supporters could recognize.
