The weights might fit in cache, if you're using a small model. If you wanted to have a 20B+ parameter model, that's just going in RAM. You could put more RAM in the device and pay …

Exactly. You can place a patch with some glue over a hole in fabric to achieve the same thing in a traditional garment. Iron-on repair patches are also similar. It's one thing to s…

It doesn't seem to have the rigidity to be structurally sound for construction.

While he didn't win a Nobel prize, I'm reminded of Dr Henry Heimlich (inventor of the Heimlich maneuver), who went on to become a proponent of malariotherapy: the deliberate infect…

Enron committed serious fraud, and not because what they did was made illegal after the fact. Unless I'm missing something, none of the big AI companies have committed serious frau…

Then the article should have talked about those things and not pointed at nonsense.

Ignoring the fact that this is clearly not written by a human, it's untrustworthy and the claims are dubious at best. 1. The comparison of vLLM to vLLM.cpp never shows more improve…

This has many of the writing tropes of Claude. I'd bet money that much of it is ai-generated, if not all of it. This paragraph alone feels almost entirely Claude's self-congratulat…

I love this and agree with it so strongly. But I'm also shaken to my core that there's a $30/mo Neon bill for personal software. Even if it's being used for "slightly larger projec…

None of this is necessary to avoid js, it just means more form tags. Which, frankly, is entirely reasonable if the only thing you're solving for is wanting to avoid links.

It's not a compute problem. It's a knowledge problem. Even if you can process each parameter individually and re-link the model layers, you need enough information to know what eac…

Experts are chosen per token

> I always wondered why we need to shove the entire model into memory, I don't care who King Charles is every single time. That's kind of the problem, isn't it? How do you know whi…

I'm not disagreeing with you. A button with an action serves neither a website developer nor a web app developer. Neither group pretends they're a native app. The web has fundament…

> If I click "Edit" on a GitHub comment, it shows me two buttons, "Cancel" and "Update Comment." Cancel doesn't navigate. In fact, neither of them do. > Buttons, for instance, can …

> Copying, sharing, bookmarking—these are all features for re-contextualizing the action of a link. Buttons serve a complimentary purpose because they don’t allow for any of that. …

That's really just not true. Easy counterexample: any codec should be written in a memory safe language. Really anything that deals with untrusted input should be memory safe. Your…

> how would I know I'll be accepted tomorrow This question exists for any service. Unless you host things yourself, there's a baseline amount of trust you have to have in any servi…

Man, I feel like we're losing a lot of the people I grew up watching this year. What a bummer.

It sounds like the fee is about $1.00: the delta between $100 and $99.

I'll be honest, I'm not signing up for an account to look at this. The marketing site has zero screenshots. The help center you link has...20 articles total? Few enough that it see…

Came here to say this. So many of my friends are male nurses. The thing that keeps them from sticking around is the pay. There's only so much crap you can take (literal and metapho…

As a buyer I don't trust Paypal. They use dark patterns to try to get me to sign in, then make it hard to sign out, and for whatever reason my account is wedged and even though it …

Same. I bought a cabin, which had the equivalent of pretty good DSL. I got starlink and immediately cancelled it when 2gbps fiber arrived 9mo later. Fiber is rolling out faster tha…

Sure, all change brings risk. But this is change where: 1. The change isn't made by a human. 2. The change wasn't fully reviewed by humans or machines. It's not currently possible …
