Nikki Smetters got screwed. Clearly the best, imo.

The primary use case is the same use case as having 388 hp in a Porsche Carrera. It's cool and it's fun to go fast.

Half or more of Hacker News is constantly pushing the idea that frontier LLMs are stochastic parrots and basically useless, even in the face of the Hugging Face incident which most…

Interestingly multicast is used extensively by exchanges to distribute trading data to participants. I think it's the primary commercial usage outside of some IoT things.

So Opus 5 is basically "distilled" Fable? The benchmarks look often better than Fable.

> What disturbs me is that there likely won’t be a big enough reaction to this policy wise. Anthropic was blocked from releasing Fable without any such level of incident. OAI was a…

> In Singapore, policing does not have the dystopian surveillance thing attached to it, because a large number of police are civilian conscripts. I would not have guessed in a mill…

> However, once the cameras go up, you will never ever create one there. This is directly refuted by Singapore, Japan, arguably the UK, and others. Singapore is very interesting to…

> We need open weights, open code and open data. Even with this, the cost of verification would be enormous. You would need a massive cluster to repeat the training E2E.

It's a Princeton math PhD who posted. The verification is quite straightforward and was posted by the tweet author. Wolfram would have to also be producing incorrect outputs for th…

If you can afford to test it seriously, running both in parallel, it's worth a test to see which you prefer. If you can't, don't bother. You're not likely missing anything since th…

It boggles the mind just how egregious this was. I would not classify myself as anti-Israeli, fwiw. I just think wearing the military uniform of a foreign nation to your job govern…

I will remember from now on that you can compare war to Lebron playing in a championship game but not to him playing in a pickup game. But to be clear, the comment I replied to was…

Is it the case that if someone doesn't do something some time then they can't do that thing? Like, if you were playing basketball and Lebron James walked by and you threw the ball …

This is really a non-answer. If your point is "Dropbox is a struggling company and therefore all criticism of it ever is fully validated no matter the timeline" then any criticism …

Point 3 was not "'viral' or income generating" and DBX pioneered one of the most viral campaigns (give-get) and generates almost $1B a year in free cash flows? How is that vindicat…

> Plus Uber's only increased their revenue 11->14B in the last 5yrs. This is just incredibly off. A brief look at Yahoo Finance shows revenue has grown from $31.9B in 2022 -> $53.7…

Very possible Elon is doing this to make give Anthropic better chances against OAI while he attempts to reshape xAI. Also possible he sees infra as the future of xAI if he really b…

I think you would be right if their post was substantive in relation to the topic, but it's not. It's a list of grievances almost all of which are unrelated. Despite this, it was a…

It should be noted that this user is basically an OAI shill account. You can look through their history to see this quite clearly. Anecdata, but I have a friend at OAI who claims t…

Yes, I have a similar only usage but using JSONB_EACH. You can actually replace "CROSS JOIN LATERAL" with a comma which I think is clearer. However, it working as a lateral join is…

Probably the biggest issue is that it's primarily useful in the context of exploratory analysis and makes iteration on a plot much slower, requiring you to re-run the query to get …

What feels like a lifetime ago, I made almost all of the R tooling at Uber and actually implemented what was effectively exactly this on top of the R DB tooling. Everyone, I think …
