I think we are at the apex of Von Neumann machines. Once there is enough money to make alternatives, they will thrive. And AI is that catalyst.

If you go for a full curve over the space, then yes. But like NAND, there is room for, I don’t know what to call it, “quantization”? You get a few values out instead of just binary. My guess is, like other issues of precision, errors can ge

No, those doing this 100k times a day have very good data on this, good estimators and modeling. And the API has various knobs to change and evals will give you actionable data.

And if at the border they found keys to your house so they went there and did a search too? Thanks what a phone is. Not even mentioning Tailscale. ;p

Would that work in MySql? Back in the day it used to do things like "natural join" that just figured out the the common columns to join, but i can't remember if it did that with union.

Ah, I remember those days when Clinton was in office and no more deficit. He also did a DOGE type thing to modernize and make the government more efficient (though in a measured way, not putting children in control). Those were the days.

So many vacuous statements at the seam. This is the hermetic load bearing part, which I confirmed rather than assuming.

I think around $300-400k, but that does not include the github issue/pr/ci stuff that runs continuously, which could double or triple it. Somewhere, the first two weeks were said to be about $200k.

Oh, you could go analog rather than digital. Ever look at ALU design? Nothing efficient about it!

But power hungry. In that 5+ year timeline, the compute per watt could change by three orders of magnitude. GPUs are to LLMs what CPUs are to gaming — not a good fit.

I can see this being real useful when they scrape the internet for content. And they don't want their own crap. Or just to see how prevalent their stuff is.

It is worse than that, it can make text unintelligible. I have Claude explain what is happening in a PR, and the technobabble and use of rare words have to look up in a dictionary make it difficult to understand. I need another LLM to trans

Oh, I have, and even Opus falls flat. I feel like regex would be better. Oh... maybe i can have Opus create such a regex...

I have ubiquity UniFi for this reason (amongst others). OpenWRT is a good choice as well. Most home router software is such junk, might as well leave the door open..

What’s good for data extraction? I have a hard time getting models to just pull names and titles from a blob of text.

The Euro AI Act basis for this is stupid. But from an AI scraper's point of view, it is great -- you can skip a lot of content that you yourself generated. This will have, as they say, unintended consequences.

No, team is way too small. Team group is a better resolution. You want a certain amount of ownership for a repo that will survive a team being laid off, for example. And a bit of cross responsibility may seem annoying to a single IC, but is

Our family computer when I was a kid was in my parents bedroom. There was only one one. Kids should have dumb phones not supercomputers in their pocket connected to everyone everywhere all at once.

One other advantage is item serial numbers. Or something else that makes an item that seems the same but actually be unique (perhaps the warehouse it’s in?)
