This thing has 50% more memory than GTX PRO 6000, which fetch 18k-25k+ each right now on newegg, and generally sold out. If nvdia can still sell out 96GB PCI cards (on a 2 year old…

Okay this tidbit is interesting to me "5–6 tok/s M2 -> 31–35 tok/s on an M5 Pro". So where will be in just another gen or two? my impression right now is that M5 gen is on the cusp…

Well that's a relief, glad I am a turtle then and so are most of my friends, and that our whole world economy and food system runs on turtles. So we should be fine.

You are assuming there are not naked shorts out there.

"Latent space representation" I have been waiting for this moment in the evolution of AI. Well, waiting with some trepidation. It seems inevitable that frontier AI's will, at some …

this strategy worked to keep Ukraine alive, by enabling them to throw literally anything and everything they could obtain into the fight. And the system enabled rapid experimentati…

An unfortunate series of events that this thing ended up with these specs at 1,049.00. It was supposed to be cheap and cheerful. At first Steam took an opportunistic deal to buy up…

I do think local models are huge pending market opportunity for Apple. An M5 Ultra Mac Studio (if that exists) could be decent local AI machine, though so expensive as to stay nich…

Not to mention quitting in droves because very many don't want to take these cases or otherwise to stand in court and explain why current admin is not bound by existing laws, court…

This has already happened. Home PC market is practically dead already due to memory, ssd and graphics card price inflation. Makers of components like PC cases and power supplies et…

China does not have sufficiently leading edge fab capabilities to fill DRAM demand.

>> find a reliable place to sell it without getting ripped off by scammers. This is a real problem and why I've just about given up on ebay or fb marketplace, esp for computers. If…

Well in that case, I predict you are going to be in luck!

@Ademeure Where do you think the market will be by the time, say year from now, when Apple has rolled out it's M6 generation? Do you think one more process node and architecture re…

What this article fails to mention is that there are also a record number of empty tankers routed to the US refineries right now, with the intention of shifting still-relatively ch…

I haven't been in a mcdonalds in decades because they have zero options for people with food allergies (I developed celiac midway through life).

Nobody is using LLMs to make lending decisions. They are using LLMs to read, extract and audit the supporting documents that go into normal well-tested, compliant and rules-based u…

Thanks for flagging this, I was literally seeing the same thing with protechts.net in my activity tab this morning as I was trying to understand why firefox was aggressively draini…

If it's not US and it's within a few percent of SOTA that might be good enough for a lot of people (eg Europeans)

The conceptual problem is that we keep wanting to compare AI behavior to that of traditional computers. The proper comparison is comparing AI, and how we trust or delegate to it, t…

The real 'hype' was that the oh-snap realization that Open AI would absolutely release a competitive model to Mythos within weeks of Anthropic announcing there's, and that Sam woul…

Yep this was the moment to finally remember to cancel my cursor subscription. I find it unconscionable to do business with someone who would do business with Elon.

Like with all new tech trends, it takes them a hot minute to catch up, but it's highly likely they will (eventually) release some killer platforms for local AI. The shared memory, …

The insight here is, that in current warfare, quantity is the quality that matters. And with quantity, cost of replacement needs to be low, platforms expendable, cheap to maintain …

This is such a dastardly psychological trick. Being slightly aswew really hard to fight the subconscious urge to reach out and 'fix' them. I almost want to rush out to a nearest Mc…
