"I see you're complaining about society and yet you participate in society! Very interesting! I am very smart." This is not a good or reasoned take. People organize where the other people are because that's how you get t

It's weird to see anything advertised as "Windows native" because for the last three decades it was the expected norm for any new software to be Windows-first if not Windows-only. It's like saying your program is PC co

Something nobody needs is pointless hot air like "Everything you need. Nothing you don't."

You're missing the point. You very rarely need the biggest and "best" model. This is psychology and nothing more, people always want the "best" and don't often consider "good enough". Small models are

Sure, we'll just pack up our glass and steel foundries and oil refineries and move them across the country. Should be cheap and easy. The world is a lot more complicated than "datacenter bad". I don't think datacenters a

I have a board with a logic analyzer, debug/flash probe, PSU, and multimeter on my desk being driven and debugged all autonomously by the AI. While the automation and systems side of my brain is thrilled that all of this id automated a

I get a lot of satisfaction using a significant chunk of my work-provided Claude plan researching and developing local LLM solutions for work. Claude has been helping me tune models to run better on our big compute rack at work, researching

Buddy, you should take a real hard look at US policy this past decade or so. We've got secret police kidnapping citizens in broad daylight and shipping them off to other countries. We tarriffed the entire world, threatened to take over

You've failed to understand the conversation. Nobody doubts that China is using open weight models to undercut Western ones. That's pretty obvious. The interesting discussion is why they are doing this and why it's "ba

Code is code my dude. If an LLM can turn English into Python, there's really no reason it can't do assembly. Assembly is not magic, it's just code that humans find difficult to grok. LLMs, it would seem, don't have the s

Given how few programmers very seriously write lots of assembly, it's kind of astonishing how good LLMs are at working with assembly. They can compile and decompile all on their own with apparently very little effort. I suspect (with z

Have you ever been bored in class and doodled overlapping spirals and circles in the margins of your notes?

That's probably pretty likely, but if we're honest, are LLMs built and funded by a hostile Chinese authoritarian regime any more dangerous or harmful than LLMs built and funded by a hostile American authoritarian regime? China abs

Incorrect. A lawsuit would have to prove Sony didn't abide by law , or that their actions are harmful or egregious enough to justify a new law. T&C are not laws, and aren't even legally binding in most situations. They exis

I've been experimenting with something similar. I spun up every machine I have with enough resources to run an LLM and loaded each up with whatever would fit. Then I tried to orchestrate them as a swarm of independent code authors and

This is like comparing a hammer to a screwdriver and feeling smug because you can hammer nails faster than someone else can drive screws. These are fundamentally different tools for entirely different applications. They only look similar to

There are other people around you who probably don't think they're fun. Hot tip: the other people you see out and about are real, thinking humans just like you who have their own thoughts and emotions and world views. You should c

It's not even automobiles. The entire concept of American masculinity is about inflicting yourself on as many other people as you can. The more insufferable you are, the more "manly" you are. Or maybe it's an attention t

It was Monster Cables who, blessedly, are nearly irrelevant nowadays. Apparently they tried to pivot into online gambling a few years ago.
