    I guess the idea is, gains from inference speed could offset the cost of upgrading the chips to a new model when really required. I think general purpose models would consolidate a…

    Nice things like this, get "blue-washed" by the parent org's tech. For general adoption, kakebase should have been swapped out for a more generic non-databricks tech. 'Blue-wash' i…

    Creative content authors need to move up the ladder. Use AI fully and apply your talent to make it even better. No need to get recognition for your non-AI organic content. When a m…

    Talking about proofs, there is no proof that just because AI found counter example for a conjecture, it can break math behind cryptography The belief that "if it did A and B it can…

    Cryptographic systems are based on 1) mathematical impossibility of reversing some integer/mod calculation, 2) time required for a brute force attack, 3) correctness of algorithms …

    People in UK opposed train tracks in steam engine days, saying that the train engine sound scares their horses and cattle. Ofcourse data centers are far worse. But it is amusing to…

    11-18% of time spent in coding is still very high number I think. For a large org with lots of process and risk aversion, this number could be as low as 5%. Even for 14%, the 10x i…

    The problem with your argument is, the "mass" effect won't be there because the excess mass won't be there. Rise of population is caused by the plentiful food that was possible due…

    I think tailwind helps. It is same as AI prompting, but in a deterministic and fine-grained way. Bottom line - it reduces the time to build.

    Personification an LLM has become a style or trend. Saying "Sol solved this problem for me" sounds great, indicating your honesty in giving credit to LLM. However this is wrong. Yo…

    Also, it is "Luddite" on your part, to misinterpret a cause-finding as saying what should have been done in the past. Saying why something happened is not same as saying that shoul…

    Two issues with the title. Global warming is not specific to Europe (it is "global"). And the "why" can't be meaningfully answered unless you specify how far you want to go along t…

    Makes sense. Same as "Made in XXX" label. Users have the right to know where the product was made and how synthetic the product is.

    Prompt quality should not matter. If a high-schooler operates the crane to lift a ton of weight 10 floors high, should the credit entirely go to the crane?

    When you use a crane to do the "heavy lifting" for construction work, do you give full credit to the cranes?
