#3Apple AI team keeps going against the bitter lesson and focusing on small on-device models.
Let's see how this would turn out in longterm.

Edge compute would be clutch, but Apple feels a decade too early.

#5This subject is fascinating and the article is informative, but I wish that HN had a button like "flag", but specific for articles that seems written by AI (well at least the section "How STARFlow compares with OpenAI’s 4o image generator" sounds like it)

#6Forgotten from like 2021? NVAE[1] was a great paper but maybe four years is long enough to be forgotten in the AI space? shrug

Right, it is bizzare to read that someone "unearthed a forgotten AI technique" that you happened to have worked with/on when it was still hot - when did I become a fossil? :D
Also, if we're being nitpicky, diffusion model inference has been proven equivalent to (and is often used as) a particular NF so.. shrug

somewhat hard to say how the cards fall when the cost of 'intelligence' is coming down 1000x year over year while at the same time compute continues to scale. the bet should be made on both sides probably

"""The bitter lesson""" is how you get the current swath of massively unprofitable AI companies that are competing with each other over who can lose money faster.

FWIW, you can always report any HN quality concerns to hn@ycombinator.com and it'll be reviewed promptly and fairly (IMO).
