Ah I got excited for a second thinking this was some kind of AI test on a Warhammer 40K game:)

Of course that’s the mechanism and this kind of repost is not unique, but it is still relevant to note that the small HN committee made an exception for this one.

They do seem to have an internal review process, some articles might have been heavily edited, particularly early in the development process. But indeed, if Pangram is marketing it…

Recent events have shown that it's a double-edged sword. Sure the Mythos hype probably drove a lot of sales and investment, but it also led to a crackdown from the government.

I agree that the connection to OpenAI is very speculative here. It's true that Pangram is also very unreliable, and the match is pretty weak anyways: "69% came back flagged as full…

Check their R&D expenditures and profit margins they are quite poor. Their revenue has always been sustained by the fact that their technology needs to be constantly replaced becau…

Of course, but such a theory doesn't pop out of nowhere. Like in any technical field, new paradigms are always inferior to the incumbent on key metrics, and need room to be nurture…

It's never that simple, that's not the only possible endgame. We have seen plenty of examples in other industries where you can never really stop investing a ton on R&D with dimini…

And then everyone would stop using their inference as soon as a better model for a reasonable price came out. The R&D expenditure is a critical requirement for the inference profit…

I'm reticent of falling into this endless conversation again, but it's a bit addictive. I believe the point is that the Standard Model is still built on Quantum Field Theory, but l…

Well, it seems that the question still remains somewhat open. There are theories that fit the data as well or better than the black-hole model. My naive intuition is that this is m…

I understand that certain segments of the population have remained completely disassociated from videogames, and that's fine, but that doesn't make it a niche or an expert topic. G…

It’s not an unusual username, it is actually quite unoriginal, there are probably thousands of users with variations of the same name. It is the name of the headline magic ability …

I found The Republic really quite entertaining! And it is surprisingly readable for such an old text. It is written like a play where characters with real personalities have fierce…

I find his earlier works a bit too bizarre and quirky. Although Snow Crash is the essence of cool. Seveneves is probably my favourite, I guess I prefer harder scifi. Fall; or, Dodg…

I don't understand why, that is not HBM nor a real GPU. Fine the model might fit in RAM, kinda. And it a bit like a server that you can keep on all the time, which must feel nice i…

Railway tycoons were the real beneficiaries, and the Gold Rush led to broader organic economic development in the West, so railways remained relevant. Not sure what that means for …

Very Crusader Kings :)

Frankly, it sounds like you are being a bit short-sighted with the whole endeavour. The lowered production costs enabled by AI should to a degree insulate you from the usual financ…

I must admit, the short sample for “How Asians Pay the Bill” was kinda fun :)

That’s a good visualization, although I am a bit mistrustful of Arena’s scores. It does get around the fact that models are getting trained for the benchmarks, but the methodology …

I was confused too, but I believe that it refers to the Pareto Frontier: the best set of solutions to a multi-objective problem. Look it up, it’s a bit difficult to explain concise…

I liked this comment from that thread :) > I think you should spin up a whole bunch more instances, and try to cause an integer overflow so they they owe you $978 Trillion.

You can use tokio::spawn_blocking to separate compute-heavy stuff, it gets handled in a separate thread pool. You shouldn’t need two tokio runtimes, that sounds problematic. > How …

That does clarify some things, but still. Say you have an Isolate pinned to a core and it's doing some long compute. In the meantime some background IO finished and an Isolate in t…
