Most reasonable analysis here! But you forgot: “retail loves it and buys it, providing capital sufficient to stabilize.” I also like SpaceX - one thing many of the kids around here seem to forget is that elon has managed extremely dire capi

I like this idea on expert streaming. I've been poking around fairly thoroughly at the same idea - can we fix a set of experts? when can we fix them? How long is the top-k selection "good" for in terms of number of forward pa

Cheapest just isn't a very useful metric. Can I suggest a Pareto-curve type representation? Cost / request vs ELO would be useful and you have all the data.

Here to say -- great name. It's not just a reference to our modern times, it's a sign of brilliance. (I wrote this myself with no clanker support)

Friend, this is just not true. Thousands of years of large sophisticated governments and civilizations in what is now Mexico and farther south. Its reductive to the point of being completely wrong to think of the Americas in this way. Teoti

Oooof. This is going to take a lawyer. A team of lawyers. Everything on that account has no doubt been LOCKED down for CSAM-grade review. I'm just imagining how you'd get a judge to help you here. You'd need to have found an

I haven't seriously looked at Bitcoin's PQ plan for a couple of years, so I might be (I am almost certainly) out of date, but my recollection is that there's a "pre working attack" phase required, in which everyone

there are some different options depending on settings - apple will encrypt to an internally (apple held) key that your iCloud login will unlock under most circumstances. This can be turned off by consumers, and I would expect by IT departm

Thanks -- btw the Pricing link on the site pulls up a form, not that page.

cool. What's pricing like?

That is the point of cheapening the dollar, BTW. The local wages can stay 'high' dollar denominated, but the euro-denominated value of those wages drops. It was for some time the strategy of the Chinese central bank; you can keep

Yes, a log chart would be better. That said, apples cannot be compared in this case; probably very few of us would choose to go back to 1914. A Tesla model Y would cost $1,680 in 1901 dollars, but would have been worth millions of those sam

It was designed at Apple, and is sold and marketed and branded by Apple. What do you consider it? Apple infrastructure?

I prefer claude for generation / creativity, codex for bull-headed, accurate complaining and audit. Very rarely claude just doesn't "get it" and it makes sense to have codex direct edit. But generally I think it's h

Not sure why you'd want this over an apple setup. M4 max is 545GB/s of memory bandwidth - $2k for an entire Mac Studio with 48GB of RAM vs 32 for the B70.

Wrong question. I suggest: 1) Do models generalize? 2) If they do, and they generalize from this, is that a win? Chollet was one of the first “they do not generalize” evangelists. I’d be curious to hear what he thinks now, because a) most d

by vessenes 7mo ago
I’m not a Chollet booster. Well, I might be a little bit of one in that I admire his persistence. I really like these puzzles. There’s a lot to them both in design and scoring — models trained to do well on these are going to be genuinely m

Most important comment here!! I would love to buy like a 6kw battery induction kettle for the states. As far as I can tell, they don’t exist.

Back at you! Writing's always work, especially with cool graphs. 1 - Agree this is true for real-earning-loss countries, recently. (as in last n decades) 2 - I agree this will keep shrinking. I moderately disagree with the 'compar

Thanks -- interesting. I like the idea of ablating layers. I guess you could get a differentiable stack that has a layer skip and layer copy/loop and a total memory use loss function; that would let someone ship either a big (usually a

Interesting points, made in florid style. I'd make the point a little differently, though -- in the next n years, you want to be on the side of capital. Labor is in for a really tough time. Missing from Daniel's analysis is total

It seems almost impossible. I spent the weekend comparing nanoclaw to openclaw - nanoclaw is a slightly more secure version - containerized filesystem basically - and very popular. It's a) harder to setup, b) less functional out of

They will. Either new architectures will come out that give us greater efficiency, or we will hit a point where the main thing we can do is shove more training time onto these weights to get more per byte. Similar thing is already happening

by vessenes 7mo ago
Yes, yes it is. And it's amaaaazing. We're going to have lots of sharp edges getting stuff like this secured, but it is not going to go away. Too useful.
