There's more to it than the number of people. Actions, GitHub apps/external integrations, identity/permission management The most significant, near-term, non-moaty gap is still private repos, which isn't all that big of

We used to have people, including children, working up to 80 hours a week. We now have laws that limit those things. One does not have to create a direct causal relationship. One should more likely expect them to be separate because of the

Renewables, Ai, biology, chemistry, robotics... they are building that SciFi future. I'm starting to learn Mandrin so I can go see it for myself. Adam Tooze inspired me to do so, said that the cross cultural polination is important for

Maybe it's different between professional and personal projects, but I get that feeling more often as features are not only easier to create, but also come out more polished and consistent. I'm able to focus on a single project fo

Should we not get to work less if Ai is increasing productivity so much while also making us exhausted more quickly? Perhaps on the way to UBI and the end of labor, we could get a 32 and 24h work wweek with lots more vacation, my hope at le

There is definitely strategy and direction coming from the top. CEOs have been summoned for conversations. There are new rules like no Ai lovers that certainly show they are thinking about things. The AI CTO from The Linux Foundation, Matt

Yeah, it doesn't seem that hard to beat, especially with a little trad image processing, yet I have a hard time reading it as well. One could probably fine-tune a much smaller model to do pretty well on this problem too.

All three models were quite likely undergoing training at the same time, with Ant a couple of months ahead. Glasswing was announced 3 months ago, Sol and Kimi were already being trained at that point. They are taking snapshots and doing exp

It's different, but similar. If they release the weights, then we have a Fable / frontier model people can tinker with. Either way, it's still quite impressive and knocked a US company out of the top three (google). How long

Its bad to judge these things on immediate release, there is a spike of excited users and that distorts performance. Also bad to judge from on a single interaction, you'll get bad requests with every provider, super busy times raise th

It would seem to me, in the current environment, that they can be forced to pay an "unfair" share to make it fair to the people. Corporations spending $100Bs in a year can budget and charge for elevated electricity rates. Labor ca

I could argue that underinvestment in electrification and renewables are the true cause of price inflation from these two processes. If we electrified like China, there would not be the impact we see.

I personally expect token production to commoditized like mobile data. It's already happening. See open weights gaining adoption, OpenAi talking about how 5.6 is cheaper than Fable, people are taking multiple approaches to reduce their
