How soon will we be able to run a GPT4 level LLM on a MacBook, with acceptable latency? 2025?

Astounding to see racism and ignorance represented as virtue signaling so blatantly! Are you aware that the majority of STEM seats in Indian colleges are set aside for either affir…

This reminds me of all the educationally highly credentialed people I knew confidently predicting in 2016 that Trump would jail all democrats, declare martial law, and ‘women would…

How would you explain affirmative action on the basis of race today, in this context?

And guess what has ZERO effect on pollinators? CO2. The only ‘pollutant’ ESG scores and activists harp about. Why? To distract from real polluting chemicals that cost a lot more to…

Are you also going to prohibit your kids from riding in a car because the chances of a traffic accident are non zero? Asking because kids 1-4 are being hospitalized for COVID at th…

I’m from India, and have plenty of family and friends there in close contact, and I have literally never heard of anything as ridiculous as this yet. No idea why this is a top vote…

What are your thoughts on certain bakers refusing to bake certain cakes, and refusing payment for them as well?

What you actually see in America is that most millionaires come from humble beginnings. That doesn’t mean most people from humble beginnings become millionaires. A->B does not equa…

This is amazing - just ignore Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Andrew Carnegie and several other of the richest people of all time who came from humble beginnings, just because they don’…

Somehow that doesn’t count in the lefty HN echo chamber.

Agreed, now do antifa and BLM

Google ‘regulatory capture’

I’m probably older than you and heard this exact same argument used by the Indian government to censor television (we had exactly 1 channel of government run TV growing up). Are yo…

Your anecdotal experience is not borne out by either facts or my anecdotal experience. Houston is literally the most diverse city in America, statistically speaking. And you have t…
