    A whole ton of people desperately want to believe that LLMs are a lie that will be revealed as a scam... any day now.

    What you're describing is what Cerberas does. Talaas is different, it's a true compute-in-memory architecture where the weights are stored in the connections between the transistor…

    There is a data center in my town. I drove by it and don't get the fuss. It's a box in an industrial park. It makes a little bit of noise but not nearly as much as the paper factor…

    Nonsense. Who consumes the goods produced by the factories and mines? Who lives in the apartments and takes the high speed rail? Automation is also a massive boon to the common man…

    Because ultimately those things (apartments, high-speed rail, mines, factories, datacenters, etc) exist for the benefit of the public. We give tax breaks because we recognize that …

    I don't really think it's about the adverse impacts. That one in utah everybody hated was gonna be built in an empty valley. There would have been no impact to neighbors because th…

    If there's one thing Americans can agree on, it's that we don't like building things.

    I think Goodhart's law is just a consequence of correlation vs causation. It is very easy to find a metric that is correlated with what you want. But once you start trying to influ…

    Well that's on purpose lol. OpenAI does not want you falling in love with their chatbot and have been deliberately training it to be less romantic.

    Proof? In my experience modern models are better at all tasks than models from two years ago, especially complex multi-step tasks.

    The oil industry as a whole does not benefit from supply side shocks. However, the US oil industry is not supply constrained by the war. They can still produce as much oil as ever.…

    >They're rare books that are bought in bulk for scanning. Nope! Actually this article has a list of the books they were scanning: https://fortune.com/2026/07/31/dutch-bookseller-ai…

    Well, if they're bought in bulk, there's gonna be some duplicates. They probably don't know what they're buying until they start scanning. But still, the number of duplicates will …
