    Everyone keeps repeating this who doesn’t understand the underlying technology. Small llms are still way more efficiently server on big GPUs. Sharing server capacity takes advantag…

    he got promoted to chief scientist and them being an expert at all modeling will really help compared to being llm only

    yea, a lot of my prior work was in the "code is the easy part" I was a frontend engineer for years. And something like 90% of my job the code was not the hard part. I loved writing…

    The faces look amazing. They can post train for identity preservation easy, that is just an adapter

    Then they’re legitimately getting better at svg which is a valuable tool.

    This is a weird number. And reeks of the same sort of reallocation fallacy that makes people think the rich making too much makes them poor. If we really just say 4xd everyone’s sa…

    These are true and it does make theses fields the first to fall, but also the hype comes form the fact that it can escape these conditions as well: - generalize to non verifiable d…

    We’re definitely going to need a lot of Gpu’s

    Weird flex. There is cheaper better and faster models you could of moved to with an hour effort

    The first bit was interesting and then you flipped right to generic cynicism. They would be impressed with our technology even if it has downsides. Wisdom is knowing humans and tec…

    Signing this sounds like a good way to get fired. Executive in corporations gets to make the decisions. Employment is at will, if you don’t like it you get to leave otherwise you’r…

    No, look a Composoer 2, it stands out starkly on its own in the pareto frontier on low cast and fast models. Composer 2.5 was a huge leap with minimal compute from xAI. They can co…

    It’s a bit misleading to say nothing special, as they are doing more than just increasing parameter count. Progress has been steady in all the sub components of training from data …

    This does feel like the perfect setup for Claude though. Much easier to create a vm testing swarm of 100 disitributions with llms

    This has been my thought for a long time. I think all that matters from attention is that there is crosswise comparison going on. You need some amount of parallel compute and some …

    In general this is the way I see open source going. We won't reuse open source libraries as libraries we import, but as design inspiration for the bespoke tools we make. It's too c…

    Confidently yes. OpenAI for sure has been training larger models internally and distilling. Pre-training scaling laws all support larger models being more cost effeceint to train t…

    There is endless returns to frontier intelligence, just because most people can't make use of it doesn't mean someone can't make a ton of money off of it. Most software engineers w…

    Seems like wrapping async await functions with CSP was a better way to handle this . Clojure already had a nicer pattern for this

    People keep saying this and they don't understand how businesses work. Cursor has 1B in enterprise revenue. It doesn't matter if people can clone their product, those deals don't m…

    There is step changes that actually merit this though. And a zero day machine IS one of those. It went from 4% zero day success rate to 85% on firefox. Can you not see the signific…

    Show HN: I Made an Open Source Swarm IDE

    Was tired of squinting a terminal UI, and flipping between tons of tabs. And needed a UI to launch and manage swarms for my new swarm library oompa: http://github.com/nbardy/oompa …
