Approximate calculation is putting the cost at ~$5 per million tokens (assuming 42W sustained, 20¢/kWh), and that's excluding hardware and other costs.

What makes you think the unaccelerated path would use the accelerated iGPU path? Typically hardware decoding is disabled because of driver/reliability issues and thus would switch …

It's not created out of no where. It's traders saying that the stock is over priced and putting their money where their mouth is and taking on a big risk if they're wrong. They're …

It's really neat that the prompt was released! I'm curious how many unsolved problems are tried against frontier models when they come out. Are we trying every problems against eve…

I don't recognized the CPU/GPU and PC building isn't my field so I could way off. But here's my honest attempt at it without paying a premium for the form factor which isn't an imp…

SpaceX was said to be subsidized by gov contracts. Look at where that got it...

You're missing the point. There was a lot of debate around if inference was subsidized or not. And that's a huge point to confirm in the public discourse.

Similarly my friend swaps electric cars every couple of years (Volt -> Bolt -> Equinox) bragging about all the discounts and subsidies he's gotten. Maybe it's still beneficial thro…

A ground level fall can be fatal for a senior. Throw in freak accident factors and other vulnerable demographics it's not very surprising to me.

> It’s about bang for buck. Hard to know when they don't give the price per token. Presumably it will be comparable to a low-mid range model in terms of price. But otherwise their …

Which ones? Mortgage, real estate costs, repairs, maintenance are all still there with a condo. My gut feeling is that repairs and maintenance cost more with condos than if you own…

I struggle with this too. But I remind myself that I'm buying myself one of the most expensive and valuable gift: freedom and independence. I also continue to work because I enjoy …

Last week I got together with my math alumni friend. We cracked some beers, we chatted with voice mode ChatGPT and toyed around with Collatz Conjecture and we sent some prompt to a…

I've been using Codex to build a repo that pulls down astronomical datasets and runs simulation to try to find explanation for the hubble tension. Having an agent to do the tedious…

I’ve noticed that LLMs can effortlessly read minified JS. How does it do with obfuscated binary code? I wonder if the days of obfuscation are numbered when the tedious job of de-ob…

Subpoenas and whistleblowing are pretty good tools.

I think they're thinking about this wrong. I get all my groceries deliver to my doorstep via Walmart delivery pass. The thing I'm really missing is having AI curate meal planning t…

I'd love to see the results of that. I think calling a single prompt iteration lifeless misses the point. It's like looking at a game that has had a few hours of development and sa…

It's very useful to understand what you're struggling from even if it's not curable. It explains your symptoms, your experience and help you understand what you're going through. U…

> SpaceX has deorbiting assets on top of depreciating ones The deorbiting part is redundant. Their satellite are just that, a depreciating asset. Their lifetime seem to be 5 to 7 y…

I've gotten pretty good results by prompting "What did you struggle on? Please update the instructions in " and "Here's your conversation , please see what you struggled with and u…

Are there benchmarks if we allow the LLM to practice and study the game?

Your experience sounds exactly like mine. My son is very autistic as well. I've had to cut off friends with families because either their didn't understand meltdown and were incred…

That's a good question. As someone bootstraping a few projects on Vercel this post has me looking over at the pricing sheet more closely.
