Just curious, are there lifeforms today that rely on these metals to live in anaerobic environments? Maybe the hydrothermal vents that are talked about? Do you think complex life c…

This is neat. I'm only halfway through but some really cool discussion about the internals of the chips and what they offer.

I feel like the future is people building applications with tightly integrated LLMs that work hand in hand with the application's own lifecycle and code. I also didn't realize that…

I think there's probably a "in a long time" missing from unsubtle bully. American diplomacy was a lot less subtle in the past.

> only ~20-30% of the energy in the fuel turns into useful work, while electricity is much, much more efficient. So, we need much less of it. Isn't a lot of energy used for heating…

Perhaps an un-fun fun fact if you're living near one of these, but Boom aerospace has pivoted to start selling turbines for data centers in addition to its normal business.

Because their model previously got blocked by the government for this and they don't want a repeat?

Claiming that it's more expensive isn't true, it's workload dependent. Filling the cache (worst case) 12 times in an hour is much more expensive than caching it for an hour, and th…

Through the courts though, right?

Wow he was born a _lot_ earlier than I would have thought!

It's a bit unrelated, but I've been wondering if LLM providers are using cache read costs to preserve the illusion of constant output token prices. In reality, the longer your cont…

I once shared a proposal at Google that Vint commented on and encouraged me to follow up on. I haven't, but it certainly made my year :)

How would it help? MMOs generally don't need to know where things are right now since it's mostly static, no?

No reason other than you're giving user's a cost footgun? That's a pretty good reason.

What? This is the opposite of regulatory capture. Neither anthropic nor openai are getting to choose what happens with their models.

I find the way that models understand images to be seriously lacking. The root cause of the issue as I see it is that image encoding isn't contextual. The encoder should be aware o…

It feels like this would be beneficial to give the model more of a deep understanding of visual knowledge.

Weird justification since 9/11 was a plane hijacking, not something on the streets.

What if life was born under the surface?

Fun fact: I once got a security bounty because they sent the 2FA emails through click (some email monitoring SAAS thing) with "view in web" enabled, and it was set up so that the e…

This is an internet comment forum, not my team's slack chat, it's ok to have some fun with creative ideas.

In theory the new futures markets for chip components would help here, since it would allow DRAM suppliers to insulate themselves from that risk.

I think you're misunderstanding the tank's temperature. The internal temperature is 32C, the external temperature is only 16C (they used thermal cameras to measure the external tem…

Yeah that's fair. It does make me wonder what there is that would allow this. Maybe importing some snow machines from Tahoe? :-) I'm actually a little surprised that a quick search…
