The fact that these behemoths are being powered by gas generators is horrifying

It barely exists in corporate or academic labs anymore tbh. Or at least, what you're describing has been what I've been looking for in my 10-year corporate career, and I've never f…

You can walk down to a bookstore or anywhere that sells magazines and buy a physical copy

Hi Ronan, thanks for the article and for answering questions. My question is, how do you know when an enormous project like this, conducted over an 18-month time span is "done"? I …

I don't follow the cutting edge of AI practice super closely and I'm confused. Why are people trying to say MCP is dead? I've set up a few MCP servers (mostly language servers and …

Yea the iphone chips are hilariously overpowered for what most people use them for

You'd still need those giant data centers for training new frontier models. These Taalas chips, if they work, seem to do the job of inference well, but training will still require …

I think they're saying that brutalist architecture feels out of context in Brisbane's weather, whereas the gloomy dreary feeling of the building fits in perfectly in the former USS…

I wonder why that hasn't caught on in the states. My first thought is vandalism/people destroying or stealing the automated equipment, but surely that's not a unique problem to the…

I live right down the street from an Amazon Go store, and I like it because it's convenient when it's open, but the hours on this store stunk: it closed at 4pm sometimes. I found i…

How ironic that these LLM's appear to be overfitting to the benchmark scores. Presumably these researchers deal with overfitting every day, but can't recognize it right in front of…

Me and my friends call him (the Open Eye Crying Laughing Face) Rolf. Would love it if Rolf made it into Unicode

And the big hyperscaler cloud providers are building city-block sized data centers stuffed to the gills with these racks as far as the eye can see

The only thing standing in the way of nuclear/solar/hydroelectric data centers is local laws and regulations. All the big cloud providers are actively researching this. see Microso…

really cool! I've been interested in mass timber as a building material for a couple of years now, it has a lot of potential as a replacement for steel and concrete, with the benef…

Why not just get a 3.5mm to lightning adaptor? They have knock-off/generic versions at gas stations that cost like 5 dollars and it beats lugging around a whole extra device just t…

You can tell a lot about a company's priorities by how they make most of their money, and if you do that you see that Google is an Advertising/surveillance company disguised as a t…

Penicillin has gotta be on that list. Just randomly happened to culture on a Petri dish left out on vacation, happened to be the worlds first antibiotic

Top secret info is shared on a need-to-know basis. The coast guard needed the information, the public didn't

Of all the "evil" things one could do with gargantuan wads of cash, having it sit in a bank account is just about the most innocuous thing I can think of to do with it. It seems li…

How to guarantee I never buy a Ford again in one easy step

> Taking away profit motive from them e.g. by subsidizing operation would only increase cost of care, because the incentive to run lean/efficiently goes away If I had the choice be…

Only until I got to 500 and unlocked the down vote button

65 billion? That feels like an absurdly high number. The scale of these companies are mind-boggling
