Time to go dig an Apple II out of the landfill

I thought CXMT already have plenty of capacity - Apple are currently talking to the US government for blessing to buy from them. Other manufactures like Micron do have aggressive e…

I would assume so, but these numbers are so cooked that who knows!

These jobs lost/gained and unemployment statistics, especially on a monthly basis, and when the numbers are so small, are just noise. Seasonal adjustments alone (baseline assumptio…

So is this the way big-brained humans are going to kill ourselves ? Seems like a great candidate. How many invasive species have managed to make native species go extinct ? It just…

>the fate of the company partially rests on whether deep mind does well I'm honestly not sure about that. They need a decent LLM to fight off the threat of LLMs replacing search, b…

Of course it does matter what other companies are paying, but I wonder how many DeepMind employees actually deserve to be paid more than any other "rank and file" Google employee? …

This of course depends on what your goal is. If your goal is purely commercial, or time critical, then a product-based approach of squeezing all the juice out of LLMs makes sense. …

Doesn't make sense - they very recently said they have plenty of money, and are only limited in training a larger model by lack of GPUs (Huawei as well as NVIDIA) available to buy.…

Hopefully not - Isomorphic also have external investors (maybe 10-20% ownership?), who may be willing to buy it outright from Google if they lose interest, and Hassabis is now said…

Why do you say that? At least Hassabis has an understanding that AGI will require more than an LLM, and understands some of what is missing. He has never spoken publicly about any …

To me the most significant part is that he's no longer in charge of DeepMind, the company he created, other than this "Chair" title which sounds meaningless. When DeepMind allowed …

> Whoever ends up in charge needs to do a lot of frothing I don't get the impression from interviews that Kavukcuoglu is that guy - he seems like a safe pair of hands, but not some…

I was really expecting Google to finesse this - not competing head-on with OpenAI and Anthropic to see who can build the largest LLM, but instead being content with an extremely ca…

Surely most people in the US have hobbies at least in the minimal sense of downtime activities that they enjoy. It may not be golf or hobby programming, but even laying on the couc…

Probably not going to happen, but I'd love to see Isomorphic Labs separate from Alphabet with Hassabis still as CEO. He's too pure minded to be at company like Google.

It seems there's a big shake up on the underperforming Gemini side. Before there was Shazeer (already gone) and Vinyals as co-leads, reporting to Hassabis, now Gemini comes under K…

That's a pretty poor reflection on him if true. I've noticed that Gemini has been timing out yesterday & today !

Gemini had come under Hassabis, being co-led by Shazeer and Vinyals, who are now both gone. Gemini will now come under Koray Kavukcuoglu, reporting direct to Pichai as SVP of DeepM…

What about Google and Amazon I wonder ? How much of their cloud/AI revenue is organic reflecting actual business usage, and how much from Anthropic, especially for Amazon ?

Isn't it "just" a matter of Jeff Dean (& co) leaving, Hassabis replacing Dean, and Kavukcuoglu replacing Hassabis ? A massive shake up for sure, but why do you see it as separate e…

It just occurred to me that this "it's not the destination, it's the journey", what you learn and contribute by trying to solve a problem, may point to what I'm guessing is an unpo…

Yes, although a counterpoint to that is that if these weren't long-standing published problems that have stumped humans, would anyone care? What is important here, the problem/proo…

You could regard existing mathematical techniques as a set of Lego pieces. If you build a proof just using those pre-existing Lego pieces then it may be a new proof (a new Lego mod…

The "commentator"'s account also has a karma of negative 3 ! I've never even seen a negative karma before ! There is a pattern where the most divisive comments, that one might susp…
