Think about the early days of digital photography. When digital cameras first emerged, expert critics from the photograph field were quick to point out issues like low resolution, significant noise, and poor color reproduction—imperfections

Simulated annealing has long been one of the classic metaheuristic methods applied to autorouting in circuit design. It was widely used in early research and some commercial tools because its probabilistic approach helps escape local minima

TL;DR: Trump 2.0 has ushered in a two-tier legal system that won’t be noticed by most people because it continues to function normally unless you’re part of an exclusive or targeted group. By keeping most of the system functioning normally,

Even simple tools that someone can build in their lunch break can end up being very successful. That being said, the competition in customer feedback apps is intense. Unless you bring something really novel to the table, it’s gonna be a har

Ugh, I really dislike this sort of hand-waving blog post. The author cobbles together an argument dispelling all concerns about AI proliferation by assembling a few Tweets. Don’t mistake this for scholarship. I believe the true answer to th

I have a 4090 and, out of curiosity, I looked up the FLOPS in comparison with Apple chips. Nvidia RTX 4090 (Ada Lovelace) FP32: Approximately 82.6 TFLOPS FP16: When using its 4th‑generation Tensor Cores in FP16 mode with FP32 accumulation,

The small number of use cases that do pay are providing gross margins as well as feedback that helps OpenAI in various ways. I don’t think it’s a stupid move at all.

I believe 4.5 is a very large and rich model. The price is high because it's costly to inference; however, the bigger reason is to ensure that others don't distill from it. Big models have a rich latent space, but it takes time to

The high price is there to ensure nobody thinks of distilling their own cheap model using 4.5. OpenAI will undoubtedly distill a mini version themselves and they want to be out front for that benefit.

Trade your labour for capitalism. Own the means of production. This translates to: build a startup.

Indeed. As in, the organization should only sign such transactions when all signers are present in person in a secure location and they follow a procedure witnessed by independent auditors. “Work from home” when you control billion in value

The programmers on the sound team at the video game company I worked for as an intern in 1998 would always stash a couple of extra void pointers in their classes just in case they needed to add something in later. Programmers should never l

Image generation models also have an insanely rich latent space. People will be squeezing value out of SDXL for many years to come.

Or just embeddings that only make sense to the model. It’s really arbitrary, after all.

Oh god, anything would be better than Zapier. They are so laden with legacy bloat; their UX is slow and cumbersome. A classic case of enshitification.

I think open source AI has a solid chance of winning if the Chinese keep funding it with great abandon as they have been. Not to mention Meta of course, whose enthusiasm for data center construction shows no signs of slowing down.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out from the perspective of the major App Store providers who are the ones with serious money on the line. If they reinstate the app, then they risk being prosecuted at some future date, which co
