All this AI doomerism is hiding the obvious and immediate harm that will cause a mass extinction event. Funnily enough people at Anthropic are predicting the end of the Anthropocen…

Article reads AI generated, or maybe those are the kind of publications is where they got this from?

"What it means and what it does not": article is clearly written by claude, which for me at this point means that I pay as much attention to it as I do to Claudes output: I skim it…

can you give examples of colo facilities in SF / New York that are shutting down?

I was thinking that would be great, too. What would be the equivalent for the property developer: one gpu server is 450k.

The hardware division has 80%+ margin and still makes the systems that process 75% of all financial transactions. Their processors for those systems are on par or better than any o…

I wish that people would not use AI to generate copy or websites, at this point it induces an almost instinctual negative reaction: 'What Modelloop does -- in three movements' is a…

I learned programming in QBasic in MS-DOS, you could just start the IDE and the documentation was filled with cool examples. Super easy to run any program. I made music / weird dra…

Here is how I think about it: Learning to program is learning a new way of thinking. When you learned to do mental arithmetic the point was not that you would necessarily do mental…

is there a jj hosting service?

A lot of that is compute commitments and NVIDIA has a 80% margin

they were definitely totalitarian, slightly different mix of ideology. Fascist is a fairly good description here, it describes close collaboration of government with corporations t…

I don’t get that, the use of these books was instrumental and necessary for the success of the training run. The expected value of these training runs is high as the build out of 1…

In fact 5g and all previous standards have a provision for lawful intercept. So your domestic intelligence service and police can always turn it into a listening device.

I guess we will find out in 20+ years once the next electron positron collider at CERN has been build

Curious how this relates to what lean4 is doing, I guess in lean's case some of the data structures are special cased (Array) and there is no easy way to implement such data struct…

At some point we will be so tired of distinguishing between AI generated content and human content that we will stop using the Internet and it will be left to bots.

It took cerebras less than a billion to get to where they are now, CPUs are not that hard. You would probably be able to reverse engineer them for ~100 million

I mean in a normal math curriculum you would define only the multiplicative inverse and then there is a separate way to define fraction, if you start out with certain rings. It is …

One other thing I've observed is that Claude fares much better in a well engineered pre-existing codebase. It adopts to most of the style and has plenty of "positive" examples to f…
