I routinely use the RSSI indications in my UniFi WiFi (thoroughly recommended) to find various kids devices around the house. You go by AP first (each section has its own), then ea…

Look at it the other way: compared to the cost of training a model, the cost of making a custom ASIC is trivial.

Products, yes, because the barrier to making a product had fallen off a cliff (both in developing the software and the marketing/sales fluff around it). But are those products conv…

Or even the basis of the cost of hardware. There are lease deals, capacity traded for equity, various programs by Nvidia, there's absolutely massive depreciation, etc.

I'm curious about the process. How such a thing (or any kind of model lobotomy) is done?

The Israelis are the only ones that can, and want, to strike back. Besides no one weeps for missiles falling on Israeli cities, so that doesn’t serve the Iranians at all. Lots of m…

No one knows. There's a known bullwhip effect in supply chain [0], and DRAM makers are pretty far out along the supply chain. Just like it ramped up wildly it will stop even faster…

They hold value as there is insane demand. The same reason a consumer RTX4090 costs more today than bew in 2021. Once the tide drops enough for hardware lead times to shorten to we…

I find myself just jumping up the abstraction ladder, aiming for more and more ambitious projects. It's like electric mountain bikes; at first there was a lot of objection across t…

China has "overseas police stations". Maybe they won't send goons to your door but they definitely do send goons to Chinese expats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_police_ove…

Google’s Deepmind.

That's an easy one - to the same standard we hold Israel. No more, no less.

It doesn't absolve those who commit the atrocities, even if there are externalities involved. It's not always the White Man's fault - neither in Africa nor the Middle East. We can …

Forget about it. Datacenter class hardware is getting farther and farther from desktop use. It’s not PCIe GPUs anymore.

I call BS. It’s probably a white label around existing Broadcom IP, impossible to go from zero to this kind of chip in nine months. I doubt OpenAI had any significant contribution.…

Nothing like that. My current position is more on the operational side and AI allowed me to create a pretty significant software system for our technical ops, that the wider org li…

AI has allowed me to keep shipping features and system even when holding a normally managerial position, so if anything it preserved some of my coding skills. I'd not have seen any…

The way forward is minimalistic smart hardware, like Meta's Raybans, until battery, optics and compute allow us truly miniaturized AR heasets. For now the price is too high and the…

Environmental movements had a huge impact on public awareness and climate change mitigation. It sure didn’t come from the government themselves. We take many everyday steps to redu…

People are much better at saying what they don’t want rather than thinking about what they do. It’s more effective to throw everything in using LLMs, then using human judgment to s…

Mind you Israel was the one that supported the partition plan in 1948. The expansion came from the other side who wanted it all

When the very first ChatGPT transformed a simple C "hello world" into Python. I knew it's special. I'm a very big supporter ever since, including some worried moments of pondering …

It very plausibly might have been totally wrong. Out of laziness I several times asked Claude and ChatGPT each some torque figures and other simple, hard data related to my dirt bi…

Yea, I’m sure the personal plans are subsidized. I have $200 Claude Max at home and straight API pricing at work and equivalent work would easily cost me 5x if not more on the API.…
