What model? And what hardware do you run it on? I find these style of models are great, but fail hard , and fail randomly. I'd be hesitant to use it for a daily driver, but I'm usi…

In regards to people with reasons to illuminate several sq km at once - I'd bet that major metro areas would see a massive savings in electricity/maintenance if these were deployed…

Super cool! I noticed you had a blurb about it being used for mesh networks? Could you please go into more details/provide links to resources to learn more about that?

Ooo... Any chance you remember where you read that? I'd love a reference to check it out. Sounds interesting!

Other fields of engineering usually have a regulated licensure, upon which they can call themselves a Professional Engineer. This gives them the ability to make final approval/sign…

Really? It's what he did after he spent nearly a third of a billion dollars to influence an election (which doesn't include the incalculable value of his influence via Twitter!) th…

It's an inherently different thing. Fibre is infrastructure. It'll still function decades later. GPUs at this scale are consumables. I've heard 3-5 years lifespan before they fail …

I think part of it is the feeling of false understanding that comes from using llms regularly. They let you operate at a higher conceptual level, and they paper over enough of the …

Be careful who you hire??? What part of that last paragraph seems like acceptable human behaviour for a handful of the most powerful people in the world?

It seems that we're exact opposites! But if mathematics is your thing, it might be interesting for you to explore trying to learn things from a lagrangian perspective first? Not su…

Ding ding ding! This is a huge reason. Being able to bootstrap a domestic weapons manufacturing base is a massive win for any country these days. South Korea is one of the few coun…

It took me way too long to realize that "Nim for tde" wasn't referring to some obscure system...

I've always wanted to figure out how to implement a cooperative source license. Something like, you're allowed to do what you want with it, but any derivative work requires the sam…

Can you explain more about how it struggles? I haven't noticed any issues in my usage, so I'm just curious what is meant by this.

I do enjoy the immediate out of touch signaling with the "runs on your 16gb vram laptop" line. Because everyone has a laptop with 16gb vram, or can just pop out and buy a new one, …

Do you have a collection of these benchmark apps saved anywhere? I'd be particularly interested in seeing the relative cost differences between different models in a use case like …

It's always been this way. America has just been able to coast on being the only remaining major economy after WW2, and exploited the rest of the world instead. That exploitation o…

Being born to the wrong parents, or in the wrong neighbourhood, or with any number of medical issues.

Parts of these cities worse off than the third world? Have you been to a third world country? Or Seattle, for that matter? The commonly scapegoated cities in the United States are …

Indeed. Thankfully - as has been proven time and time again in America - if leniency is given to those who abuse their power, they will absolutely never ever decide to abuse their …

Seconding for a great podcast! The second time in as many days that one of their research papers have popped up on here.

That looks like a really nice hackathon! That said, the fact that they probably had a majority of the best NixOS developers in the world under one roof and they weren't solely focu…

It doesn't have to do any thing interesting - it's completely fascinating all on it's own. If you understand anything about the math and science behind LLMs, you'll understand that…

Obligatory link to a great podcast that has a great episode covering this paper: https://pca.st/episode/dfc024c8-31f8-4387-b301-7a4f77132b74 Everyone should subscribe to the Future…
