It is clear by now to me that Anthropic is constantly trying to find a kind of “auto” degradation perhaps to save money on work it thinks does not require high reasoning. I always use max reasoning and I can clearly see differences between

At this point I think I will get the DGX gb300 workstation though I will wait a bit more for the cold season. It is double the price but at least is the real thing

Ok what at what diplomatic price did the US get these concessions? I would argue that the U.S didn’t even try to get this stuff so it’s not like Trump tried anything and used annexation as ultimatum. Nothing is permanent and not this deal.

I never understood this blame on EU as an external entity. If far right wins in most member states then EU itself becomes far right. The EU is MPs elected by the EU people directly and council members which are heads of state elected as we

Ohhh no another one found that agents don’t actually run locally. We already had the “grok uploads all my stuff to Google cloud bucket” news… next I can’t wait to see news about “ai company is using my data without my consent” as well.

Maybe someone should tell them that’s not a good idea? You don’t have to be too bright to see the risks of doing that. I wonder if they have a school in Jordan near that military base. It was pretty targeted from what I’ve read.

I have seen it differently. I’ve seen it about immigration, the party driving it being UK Immigration Party. Boris “party” put some economic spin on it but it was fuelled by immigration.

by theplumber 9d ago
Yeah but you have to wonder why the EU nations themselves are not very happy with the EU immigration. One part of the answer is that some are more open to out of EU immigration than others. A while ago that was Germany who got 1 million plu

This is was about immigration. I don’t understand why people are still in denial about this. I am pretty sure it would have happened anyway regardless of what economic concessions UK would have got. It’s worth to note that the immigration i

OpenAI delayed its IPO now due AI safety reasons. In the meantime it is raising more cash. That should be a hint that the hacking incidents were premeditated scape goats and publicity stunts. They’ve seen that the drama queen(Dario) was act

Don’t you end up with useless slop? That was my experience with these kinds of systems. In theory they should work but in practice unless hand holded they just produce slop and waste.

Sounds like an AI-OS slop machine…been there, done that!

by theplumber 11d ago
It would be great if all these benchmarks would also provide a slop metric. The main issue I see is not finding bugs but reporting “stupid” bugs and and if the recommendations are followed you end up overengineering the wrong things basical

Can the new AI browse the web?

by theplumber 12d ago
My point is this is “useless” because you can’t run large models. It’s like having a very fast and expensive SSD with a very small capacity. It’s not useless but it is for “real work”. Apple has been providing 512GB ram machines for several

by theplumber 12d ago
Fair point but you get that only for 252GB of ram so it’s not even “totally better” than a Mac Studio ultra with 512GB RAM. It still the old “smaller but faster than a Mac” stuff nvidia sells.Maybe in 1-2 years they will match the Mac 512 b

Someone should edit the title to make it clear it only has 252GB of “AI” memory
21.
by theplumber 12d ago
I find it just misleading by advertising 700GB RAM as AI headline. I could plug a 32GB GPU to my 1.5TB ram server and call it “AI station with 1.5TB+ RAM” just so that you find it actually useless compared to the headline
22.
by theplumber 12d ago
Can’t you do that already more or less with a Mac Studio with 256 or better 512fb of ram?

by theplumber 12d ago
>> 252GB of HBM3e at 7.1TB/s, So it has only 252GB of actual ”AI” memory making it “useless”/toy for actual real world AI workloads(I.e it can’t replace something like opus 5)

I am pretty sure Tim also used Siri for the development of the next Siri(you know to set up the alarm clock)

Something is still not making sense to me. We have these mankind extinction models, yet when you given them a problem relatively “simple” to complete it end to end you get AI slop. Can we pause the AI development after the AI slop is “fixed

I like the craft but I enjoy making products more. Working for 5 years on some tool chain/libraries has been great in terms of “technical” satisfaction but it would have been even more rewarding to build successful products with all th

Russia-Ukraine war is important for Europe and perhaps should for the US as well but you can well see that’s not that important for Israel for example. Nobody cares about Maduro saga because it’s not worth it to upset the U.S for obvious no

I think the rhetorical answer is why should we care if Iran is doing bad stuff around? Is that enough to start a war with Iran? We don’t care if Trump is doing a deal with criminals to steal oil from Venezuela either so why should the world

I think the world will start mediating but not in the way you think/want. They will just divest from the U.S., slowly but surely so that when the next U.S clown start messing around they don’t have to flatter it anymore.
