Most of the people that do this don’t have the basic human decency to start with a clear message like “All or some of this content is AI generated.” If you say that, and I stay eng…

Huh, interesting. I tried to generate a 10 second 1080p clip on a bigger machine and the results were quite poor. Unusable for anything, in fact.

I think that will remain the use case of these tools as long as it is still so easy to tell they don't represent reality very well. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe we're not ready…

The Microchip PIC32MZ MCU has an MMU as well. But not with wireless options in a 8x8 QFN80 package like this ESP32-S31. That's pretty small. No flash though.

It will take a while before humanoids become useful. You can speed it up with extreme amounts of investment but it still wouldn’t be soon.

Re: shooting them down, I think there are a lot of people out there that consider the US a bigger threat than China. Maybe they're right, I don't know. But I do know that as an Ame…

Something beyond my imagination

Then there’s the questions of token efficiency and token quality.

Even Meta, with all their resources, makes all their hardware in China. Manufacturing anywhere else is just burning cash.

You can make the same argument for closed models. Why spend hundreds of billions training larger and larger models when you can just use Chinese models? Spend that money somewhere …

AI diffusion will be slow not because the models aren’t good enough, but because everything else will have to adapt. ChatGPT was released 3 and a half years ago. I work with people…

This has been my experience has well. For code generation, you have to really constrain these LLMs on your coding style, design goals, test cases, and overall expectations. I mainl…

The biggest impact of AI at my job are LLM code generators for software engineers. That's only scratching the surface of what AI can do for enterprises. My company doesn't yet have…

China will accelerate on ML research and optimization regardless of US export control policy. They want to win or at least not lose just as much as the US and will pull every reaso…

Google can't compete with China, neither can Meta. Only two labs in the US can keep chucking billions at the frontier race. Everyone else has a real business to run. China can keep…

You don't want to replicate the exact model, you want to build a system of similar capabilities.

Correct. We need open weights, open code and open data. If nobody else can reproduce what someone did there will always be security questions. Even if we can reproduce it there cou…

The compute constraints never mattered. If China had more compute they'd still end up winning because they have more people and a culture more inclined to math and science. Even if…

Not just likely easier. Far easier. They're so far apart on any reasonable effort scale that the comparison is basically meaningless.

Science fiction has entertained and inspired millions of people and we should all be grateful for that but it has also distorted what people think space really is. When you conside…

In the US, there isn't one, which is why nobody in the US is currently doing it at frontier scale. And the people that were doing it stopped.

That's less than half TSMC's revenue in a quarter.
