Good, maybe Youtube will finally recommend something to me I actually want to watch.

Personally, I've never actually heard this problem. Do you watch industry-specific videos in a non-anonymized browser session enough? Once you watch, like, 5 videos on topics you care about, the algorithm has no shortage of astute suggestions.

There videos which YouTube will very very rarely recommended you, especially if they are not monetised and let’s say critical or opposing the mainstream.

This article doesn't mention TPUs anywhere. I don't think it's obvious for people outside of google's ecosystem just how extraordinarily good the JAX + TPU ecosystem is. Google several structural advantages over other major players, but the largest one is that they roll their own compute solution which is actually very mature and competitive. TPUs are extremely good at both training and inference[1] especially at sca…

Assuming that DeepSeek continues to open-source, then we can assume that in the future there won't be any "secret sauce" in model architecture. Only data and training/serving infrastructure, and Google is in a good position with regard to both.

Huh? I don't think it's that simple. As far as we know, everyone has some secret sauce. You're assuming deepseek will find all of that.

I don't know what you did there, but clearly being ex OpenAI isn't the intellectual or product flex it is: I and every other smart person I know still use ChatGPT (paid) because even now it's the best at what it does and we keep trying Google and Claude and keep coming back. They got and as of now continue to get things right for the most part. If you still aren'ĥt seeing it maybe you should introspect what you're mi…

I don't know your experience doesn't match mine. NotebookLM by Google is in a class of its own in the use case of "provide documents and ask a chat or questions about them" for personal use. ChatGPT and Claude are nowhere near. ChatGPT uses RAG so it "understands" less about the topic and sometimes hallucinate. When it comes to coding Claude 3.5/3.7 embedded in Cursor or stand alone kept giving better results in real…

I started a trial Gemini advanced and the first thing I did was paste some terminal text where the python version in an ec2 was 3.10. I pasted the text and typed "upgrade to 3.12 pls" and it gave me back garbage. Went back to chatgpt and it did exactly what I thought.

"I’m forgetting something." was a giant blaring clue. Take this as an opportunity to learn the lesson of not calling someone a liar unless you are very very sure and have taken all the evidence into account.

whoah. I accused no one of lying. It is amazing how many people mix up this basic idea: Saying something that is incorrect is not the same as lying about it.

"that section wasn't in the article when I wrote that comment."

"It was there."

Everyone understands that such naysaying is effectively an accusation of lying. In any case it was a totally low effort utterly inappropriate comment. Clearly you aren't going to learn the lesson.

On Chrome you can share your whole Project directory to Gemini. I think it uses the File System Access api which Firefox doesn't support.

You can share the entire folder directly in the web UI? How? I can only see how to upload a file.

Oh it’s not available on my company’s domain. Not sure why.

Amazon also invests in own hardware and silicon -- the Inferentia and Trainium chips for example. But I am not sure how AWS and Google Cloud match up in terms of making this verticial integration work for their competitive advantage. Any insight there - would be curious to read up on. I guess Microsoft for that matter also has been investing -- we heard about the latest quantum breakthrough that was reported as creat…

I think Amazon, Meta have been trying on inference hardware, they throw their hands up on training; but TPUs can actually be used in training, based on what I saw in Google’s colab.
