The invisible guardrails are a test run for the invisible enshittification. Just wait til they start dialing down ability to better absorb peak demand or simply to have more profitable inference
IIRC, this is the same lab who created Glaze.
Do you think this will be a trend for larger companies as well? The decadal move to all-cloud-all-the-time killed off in-house hardware teams while the C-suite chased their OpEx dreams. It would be interesting if we…
My observation is that the true believers really don't want to think of models as an inert pile of weights. There's some mysticism attached to imagining it's the ship's computer from Star Trek, HAL-9000 or C-3PO. A file…
100% the same problem here. I have to show people extremely zoomed-in screenshots of how $VENDOR default monospaced fonts get rendered compared to Terminus at the correct size in order for them to understand my pain.…

bcantrill gave a great talk many years ago about compute-data locality. would be nice to know if those ideas panned out for some customers, but it seems the world has by-and-large continued to schlep data back and…
Random assortment of projects as time allows with the $JOB. - Prototyping a cute little SSH-based sorta-BBS, inspired by the Spring '83 protocol, but terminal-centric rather than web-based. It's called Winter '78, and…
CephFS implements a (fully?) POSIX filesystem while it seems that TernFS makes tradeoffs by losing permissions and mutability for further scale. Their docs mention they have a custom kernel module, which I suppose is…
I feel that the article draws a false equivalence between skepticism and doomsaying. If anything, thinking AI is as dangerous as a nuclear weapon signals a true believer.
Not to pick on you, but there are always posts like this in every Erlang thread. One is not strictly superior to the other, and the BEAM community benefits from the variety IMO.
I wouldn't mind the Erlang-dominated front page coming back :)
Containerization is amazingly great for scientific computing. I don’t ever want to go back to doing the make && make install dance and praying I’ve got my dependency ducks in a row.
This sounds super cool! Any public code you can share?
My understanding is that Luerl can remove various modules from being used, like preventing use of the IO library for instance. I would say BEAM itself is not particularly sandboxed, and certainly clusters of Erlang…
“My job safe from obsolescence by new technology”, says man directly threatened by new technology
Erlang is my favorite language but getting a job writing Erlang feels impossible. I make it a habit to ctrl-F every Who’s Hiring? thread and find Elixir occasionally and Erlang never.
Indeed, but the hallowed Job Creators have the means to influence the people in power to make the taxes go away.
This sounds really cool! Please post it to HN!
Yeah, the specific AI/ML-focused program is NAIRR. https://nairrpilot.org/ Terrible name unless they low-key plan to make AI researchers' hair fall out.
this looks like an academic research group's youtube page, so I would set expectations accordingly. they are probably too busy trying to get the darn things to work instead of marketing.
not directly related to the article but Beyond All Reason (open source spiritual successor to TA) is quite enjoyable and I recommend anyone who enjoyed TA give BAR a try.

Love the articles but I think you should disclose Network Next is not merely "a" network accelerator. It's the network accelerator that you're the CEO/founder of, which makes this read a bit like an advertisement.
