Given the fact that Taalas was claiming 1/10th the hardware cost and 1/10th the power consumption, yeah, companies would absolutely jump at that. Now, whether they can achieve that…

The Taalas chip already had a memory region to keep fine-tune weights.

You should check into hall effect mechanical keyboards. They can have a floating actuation point for retrigger that is based on detecting press, partial release, press. It's really…

I mean, they can generally re-sleeve a cylinder. Did no one offer that solution?

Funny that you are comparing Copyrights and Trade Secrets. The monopoly granted on Copyright is predicated on it being published. Trade Secrets, by definition, are not published. C…

I started on Oracle, then spent many years on MySQL, and am now using mostly Postgres. I vastly prefer Postgres over MySQL. Mind you, I haven't really worked with MySQL in a few ye…

Taalas claims significant cost, speed, and power differential with running on Nvidia (and similar) hardware. Their whole thesis is that with making the hardware cost less, run fast…

Out of curiosity, why do you prefer MySQL over Postgres?

Unfortunately the response to that right now is to nuke everything that isn't within a strict set of constraints. That helps with the bad bulk-scrapers, but hits everyone else as w…

I watch a lot of tech adjacent YT videos mostly. I really haven't heard this being used. So weird the different bubbles we all live in and just don't realize. Is the usage recent o…

I don't suppose you recall where you picked it up? I really am curious on this, regardless what all the downvoters happen to think. The linguistics that surface in the training mix…

I'm curious where you picked it up originally. I've been mystified why Claude started using it so much.

I've never heard the term "load-bearing" used outside of the civil engineering world until the more recent versions of Claude suddenly decided everything was "load-bearing". Did yo…

> Your screen brightness too low? Believe or not, blocked. ... What?!

But logging in gets you a new hash with your new org id, right?

Having not watched Foundation, what was the issue there? I loved Altered Carbon Season 1, but couldn't get into Season 2 and never finished it. I never read the book(s?), so the st…

If reading 1 and a half paragraphs is too much, then I guess we shouldn't try to communicate.

I find your comment here interesting. The parent never called out LLM-coding, they said "sloppers". If we take that choice of word as deliberate, it stands to reason there's a dist…

Any interpretation that excludes non-citizens leaves us in a situation where we've disclaimed legal jurisdiction over the behavior of those individuals. The reductio ad absurdum th…

Have you read the congressional debate around the that amendment to the Amendment? If you have and it's not clear, I'm not sure what else can be said.

Factorio manages to pull it off and I'd argue they are tracking far more individual entities.

Those taalus chips apparently run at 1/10 the power as the current SOTA GPU setups. If they can execute even partially on their plan, it'll be a literal game changer.

They are betting on fast release cycles coupled with much lower costs (purchase and operations) mixed with the ability to have dynamic fine tunes on top of the static model.
