I think you probably just don't like to stretch. Can you share the source? This seems dangerously wrong. I see a specific review making the very narrow claim that it can have detri…

Its not about geometry, it's a parallel compute thing thing. CPUs typically don't have more than 10 or 20 cores. GPU have 100s to 1000s. Matmul is very well parallelized. More, low…

The problem is simple: qualified immunity has become a blank check. The officer can simply claim they didn't know the law. They somehow can't be expected to understand basic consti…

The government is not a monolith. Being owned by the city doesn't have to mean the cops are in control. The municipality can determin by law exactly who operates the infrastructure…

Sold as learning, but that was a marketing term, not a technical one. From a technical perspective, the LLM is not learning. Only reacting based on its original training. You might…

Context is not the same as learning. It's easy to conflate because they're tightly coupled in our brains. The underlying structure and tuning of the LLM are entirely unchanged by c…

Unfortunately doesn't cover scrolling HN while the agent toils away.

With a striking lack of numbers, I'm not confident. I my experience, everything underspecified in a marketing release is unflattering. They're also not a chip designing company, bu…

Right, but the entire damn point is privacy protections enable people to be more honest. The entire point is supposed to be good data so we can make informed population wide decisi…

I believe there is hard evidence that role-playing prompts are effective at leading it towards particular strategies and trains of thought. Not sure that SWE has been specifically …

Yeah just watch out, they're trying to eat your 401k and they've got a powerful easily influenced friend.

Hate to break it to ya, but this is how most C-suites operate. Their job isn't to run a company well. It's to appear to the board/investors that they're running a good company. It …

> This is a separate issue, I think even Bambu Studio can't connect to printers in LAN mode on a different subnet. Yes, that's the point. The nerworking is broken. The issue isn't …

This formatting is intolerable on mobile.

I learned much of what I know about computer and low-level systems engineering from Minecraft. Watched lots of videos making CPUs and built many components myself including a full …

It's still circular. They will succeed or collapse together. And since they make up such a fraction of global market cap, we're in for the ride together. And the circularity makes …

They have to. The device storage is itself encrypted, so the FBI already broke into the phone. When the device is unlocked, notifications are visible by design and therefore availa…

I'm confused. What's your point? Obviously economies that rely largely on second hand technology are going to have old technology. Much of Africa is in this bucket. But looking pas…

Given adherence is a more significant practical barrier, it's probably the better signal. That is, if we decide too look for signal here.

Criticizing the government is not hostility. Its wanting to move towards a better country. This is EXACTLY what the 1st amendment is intended to protect. Whether the legal system d…

Everything in context. This is one of many reasons I'm a proponent of squash-and-merge. If a change really needs more than one permanent commit, it should probably be split up or i…

Two things can be true. And often that's precisely when we lose out with modern engineering that is much more single-minded. > Their only advantage... How are you coming to this co…

But the discussion is about the safety of systems being actively implemented. For now, people are required to maintain data centers. Right now, these centers are transitioning to h…
