They already announced it for release in April. Why am I being attacked here

It's already been trained. GDM said it was going to be released and it hasn't yet. Not sure why so much snark

where's gemma 124b-a15?

Nevertheless, experiments are necessary. Political entrepreneurialism is necessary if you want anything to improve. You can experiment on everyone, or you can experiment at the loc…

I mean, there's not like some "big silicon" conspiracy keeping people from homelabbing their own chips. I suppose we'll find out at some point, but it sure as hell isn't possible i…

More meta derangement syndrome on HN, what a surprise. We all benefit when companies invest their resources in producing open models. No one thinks this absolves anyone of being te…

Well, my ancestors would already say that our scarcity is effectively zero. Yet we still have political arguments about healthcare and I get irritated when my AI service says I'm o…

yea right now local models are like the swing producer. When claude throws 503s or 429s at me, or I run out of quota, I fire up a local model. It's also resilience. I can still do …

> Economics itself is the enemy. Economics arise out of scarcity. Scarcity is a timeless fact of life in a finite world, it's not some abstract invention by "economics". The proble…

I put together a nationwide (US) land parcel dataset over the past year and a half, and have been building a bunch of apps on top of this data: https://landstats.com

Yes it's well known that luxury goods do not fit this model. GPUs are capital goods. It isn't hypothetical when you understand the difference in the demand curves for different typ…

Rationing works when there are alternative goods available. Spam instead of steak, in your example. One of the most difficult shortages during WW2 was rubber, because there was no …

When demand exceeds supply you have two options: make the people who value those goods the highest compete with each other to pay the natural market price for them, or have a lotte…

They are, because every university (in the US) takes anywhere from 10-50% off the top of every grant

Inefficient per watt, yes, but local inference capacity is greatly underutilized in aggregate. If a model can run on a machine that already exists, that's a bunch of additional chi…

How many lavishly-paid deans and bureaucrats and administrators are employed for each grad student?

do you have a source for their GB300 count?

The point is you need to TRY in order to have a chance of finding validity. No one is talking about murder here, which a pretty trite counterexample. In the case of Apple and OpenA…

Looking at things from multiple perspectives and trying to see validity in each point of view is a virtue, not a vice. I really hate that "both-sides" has become a copy-paste insul…

> Companies that fail to comply can face fines of $200 per day for each affected Californian. Does this cover things like credit reports/scores? If someone submits a request to thi…
