First sentence: "From the late 1980s until 2013..."

I think it started before 2020.

Interesting idea. Modern media and social media is probably really the most relevant change we had in the last 15 years. Everything else didn't change that much.

The LLM passes my test if it calls out the ambiguity or just goes with it and responds with a 3-crossings solution. It passes if it doesn't just plainly ignore this one sentence. I…

Here in Europe employees turn off their company devices after work. Getting called-in in your time off usually happens not more than once every few months. You're not supposed to c…

I have the feeling this goes much deeper than knowledge work and AI. I see it in many places that people seem to not take their job serious anymore. The incentive seems to be gone.…

It would be quite ironic if this technology would render all those AI data centers practically useless. If the next step are just a much smaller amount of expensive chips, and the …

With thousands of token per second output it would be an enormous waste of resources. Such chips are clearly made to process thousands of conversations simultaneously. Not necessar…

It failed on my usual test. But it failed really fast: "A farmer has a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage. The wolf is imaginary and doesn't exist. He wants to cross the river, but the bo…

I think motorsports is going to fade away over time. Especially in car racing the technology got so advanced, that it's starting to get more and more boring. If/When self driving c…

This doesn't look like it can control the AC unit via infrared. How did you solve that part?

OT: I'm looking for some way to control my AC via Infrared. I have a few pretty standard AC units with IR remotes. The ones with a display on it, that just transmit all the setting…

At some point the "money people" are going to stop setting huge piles of money on fire. Big tech can finance a lot of AI investments themselves, but they can't keep up the current …

Actions are much more interesting than words. If the CCP didn't want Kimi K3 weights to be published, they would stay secret. Period.

China doesn't seem to think that powerful open weight models are a serious threat to them. Otherwise they wouldn't release them. Those models could also be used by their enemies ag…

To run it "at useful speed"

Congress? Who cares about congress anymore? The president declares it a national security risk. Done.

Does it have a valid signature from xAI? No? Busted!

Just declare it illegal (national security risks). Treat it like sexual abuse material, scan cloud services for copies, and jail everyone who has them.

> I‘m not even sure what the argument for banning Chinese models/open weights even is supposed to be? Easy: you're a traitor, if you use foreign AI for the fraction of the cost. It…

In most cases you should skip SIMD also for new code. Often a non-SIMD version is required for compatibility, just stick with that.

Are failing GPUs really a big issue? I don't know how they behave when they die, but if it can be detected quickly, the affected nodes can just be removed from the pool.

I'm wondering if all those GPUs ever end up on the second hand market for us to buy. Or if they will get refurbished multiple times and get used in second tier data centers until t…

99% of developers should just ignore SIMD. Most projects have a lot of low hanging fruit to increase performance, and still nobody finds the time to solve them.

That would be the reasonable thing to do.
