They talk about developing and using TileLang which they ported to Huawei's 950 GPUs. And it makes sense, as these LLMs become more capable in coding abilities - people will use th…

>> As you can understand, during V3 training, NVIDIA GPUs were still used, but the NVIDIA ecosystem was no longer employed. Ironic that these large LLMs are eroding Nividia's moat.…

>> trying to balance autonomy with managing the exploitative nature of modern technology makes me anxious to have kids This is a legitimate concern and the anxiety is understandabl…

May be for OO not yet for DA. Existential pressure drives better(fruitful) decisons and actions. AI has yet to incorporate that into training/inference.

8. The credit market tied to the data center buildout implodes. The contagion spreads similar to 2008. It is ironic that people got laid off due to capitol allocation for compute c…

The difference is in what other enabling technologies do you need to achieve it. Advanced technologies sit on a pyramid. One can build a bow and an arrow from sticks, string and ro…

>> The danger is removing the review systems and pretending the output is expert-level just because it seems to be working correctly. This is what is happening. In the rush to adop…

The point is not that these cease to exist. The point is that their significance decreases greatly.

Apologies for the claude dump, but this was too tempting to resist and partly also my context window is too small to generate a long thesis (a.k.a lazy). I wanted to share it with …

This is an interesting question that I haven't thought about, thanks. What we currently have is a simulacrum of thought - albeit a good one. Any technology is useful only in the se…

Yes, there is the general class of technologies (warfare, computing ...) and there are particular instances of those for a given time and space and evolve as the landscape changes.…

Swords, bows and arrows, castles were all here to stay. Technologies fade away when they are no longer useful, cost/benefit ratio is too high or something better comes along. It is…

Can you please elaborate on the series ? I didn't get the reference.

>> No, space is an end run around dealing with bureaucracy and politics. It's space. There's basically nobody to tell you "no" up there. >> So they'll go to the place where they do…

The problem here is that N different users will ask for N different variants of the same tool, so you'll end up with a tool which is similar but not quite. Is the tool updated to s…

You could flip it around. These companies wouldn't exist without California. The state had the conditions where these companies could germinate and thrive. Elsewhere they might, th…

When Duke Wellington was asked what was his most difficult battle, he mentioned the Battle of Assaye. He said he found the Maratha troops equal to the European military . His horse…

I think at this point we can safely put the pelican test in the category of Goodhart's law.

This has overflow issues unlike xor.

The paradox is that the quality of AI output is directly proportional to your expertise and understanding, while the trust/belief/confidence in their effectiveness is inversely pro…

In general and for software in particular too :). For general see my response to ellg. Even though we were aware of the insecurity of the supply chain, 1) In practice we tend to ig…

To clarify, I meant it from a lay person's perspective. I do realize that one can argue if the average person will have developed this awareness now. The difference this time, I fe…

Yes, that is my main takeaway to. Adn that is why all the talk about AI alignment/safety seem pointless to me.

I get amused that people don't realize that genAI is an existential threat to the internet and everything that has been built on it. 1) One can no longer trust things out on the we…
