    They're waiting for OpenAI and Anthropic's bubble to burst most likely and then they can acquire that talent for a song.

    Most of those things involve tracking users I imagine but if there's any that don't, go for it.

    It hits a database with 100M records. The index doesn't fit in RAM. Appreciate relevant feedback always but you can talk a long walk off a short STFU.

    I disagree. They're renting out GPUs to other providers because they realize it's a long game that they're in a better position to win because they control infrastructure as well a…

    It reminds me of that French fire-fighter who threw caution to the wind in rescuing me and my precious cat Lulu from our flat when it was engulfed in flames. He sadly perished in t…

    Sure but these are all the same thing as cookies. And BYW, browser headers can even be a violation if it's determined that you are using them for tracking users in a way that viola…

    And it will be largely unnoticed by site operators because who can be expected to edge case that into their logic?

    Is there any other way to get that data? It's clearly about cookies but it's specifically about tracking cookies.

    Actually you can't send any cookie that is not essential to the operation of the website without consent and that would include analytics regardless of PII. same for pixel tracking…

    I think the drug users will know before the Opus users.

    I wouldn't need a cache if my $6 server could handle 1M hits a day.

    I don't think what place you're in matters anymore when a small lab like Moonshot can come in and take the top spot out of nowhere.

    The only way crypto touches lawyers that I can think of is smart contracts, and that's been.. minimally impactful at most.

    It's a cache. My tiny websites couldn't survive getting hammered by AI bots without them.

    You can put the app url in the browser and it will recursively open itself. I got two deep before I got scared.

    It's not the model weights people are panicking over losing access to though. It's the compute.

    Well, no. We're mostly talking about banning access to models running on someone else's infra. I don't think many people in this thread have the resources to run a frontier model i…

    There's a much easier way to get that information though. Just ask it some questions. Would you rather do that or analyze TBs of training data?

    There is a finite number of tokens that a rig will turn out over it's lifetime. Divide the cost of the rig plus electricity by that number and you have your cost per token. Yes pro…
