    Fundamentally I always try to look at incentives. It's not that they are good or bad but that incentives favour certain behaviours. Google is incentivised to collect a bunch of dat…

    If I were to guess, they may have some "test" users (people who are involved in this) who are on the watchlist, they do their regular commutes and see if the system picks them up e…

    Google + Motorola aquisition vs Apple is a prime example.

    I do wonder if we need a charitable foundation that does software patents and makes them freely available just to stop cockroaches abusing patents. Another step (although governanc…

    I do think some of features in their harness seem interesting (workers in separate worktrees at once), recovery from crashes seem interesting.

    I don't see how not? A theoretical physicist can do all the thinking they want but if they can't test an idea against nature it's not super useful.

    dgx spark, nvfp4 so I have spare room for KV cache (context)

    Sounds like this would be expensive on the input token side with some saving on the decode side. For workloads with large documents / context that could be an issue.

    If it only switches when cache is cold, it seems like it'd lock in one model for the whole session? What use case are you imagining where cache eviction would happen during it? It …

    Ask HN: Is there legal risk in AI memory?

    With the move with AI tools to storing everything especially meeting notes where every interaction is transcribed and embedded for agents to use as context. Does this not create a …

    I guess the argument might be that it'll be faster than finding a spot. Slightly minor benefit is you don't need to remember where it's parked.

    Unfortunately them giving up coding means they have less traces to train on.

    I should try to rob a bank and if I get caught just return the money. No, there needs to be a penalty above what you get, otherwise it encourages people to take the free option of …

    It could also be the case that by the time business adoption picks up a lot they might not be as compute constrained. Depends on rate of growth.

    No, equities naturally trend up with economic growth. RAM is up because of a supply shock, as new capacity comes on prices will drop, it’s a commodity.

    Seems pretty useful, often hopping between different quants. I wonder if this would work for different "branches" of a model. E.g. qwen 3.6 35b regular vs abliterated.

    I think this is also a reason why X has gotten worse. They pay people for engagement.

    I believe Nvidia chips have a secure way to run your model on other infra. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/solutions/confident...

    Isn't that what insurance is for? So you don't need to stash away a bunch of idle capital incase something goes wrong.

    Text autocomplete can write code, carry out actions (tool calls) and launch cyber attacks. It very much is a matter of national security.

    The problem is recursive self improvement creating a very difficult gap and the fact that power, compute has a lag from when you invest and when data centers come up. You also can'…
