>But then things go confusing, they released Sol-6.1 which sometimes is superior to Astra, and discontinued Terra which made it look like this I don't want to rush to their defense here, but, when model families are…
Only for about five more years. In 7-10 years the price of memory and compute should drop by 80-90%. In ten years the bleeding edge 14,000 token/s machines and 4TB memory is going to look quaint, "that stuff can't even…
We had an airbnb cancel on us for Thanksgiving back in september, because it was "double-booked" it was the last AirBNB in the area. We have (had, rather) people flying in from out of country to meet for Thanksgiving at…
Doing dishes and trash is largely why we stopped using AirBNB about five years ago. I am not going to pay a premium over a hotel and do the house cleaning. Plus finding the rules and then interpreting them and…
I would believe this, "single menu bar at the top, just update the values" is absolutely the solution you reach for when you're writing assembly by hand on an Apple II. It's hard to imagine but that UI element has been…
Probably they had been trying to sell it to the state for months/years/decades, and nothing had happened, so they escalated. Here in California in east bay there are thousands of acres of land around Mt. Diablo that are…
The game they're advertising for has absolutely no relation/bearing to the ads. At all. The actual game is more like an Advanced Wars-meets-Civilization/Risk boardgame type microtransaction-bleed-you-dry type game, you…
OG Deepseek Flash was pretty mediocre and then got a lot better with post training. The other thing they are fighting is most/all of the chinese labs are free to use/train on the 10B+ SOTA reasoning tokens they "stole"…
I agree, however It's too easy to game arbitrary limits like "medium". There is no olympics for "just rolled out of bed and slightly hungover"
Thanks! Very interesting, I can dig into this further now.
PBS had a documentary back in the 1990s about the history of the PC that ran seemingly like once a month where they showed (compaq I guess video tape documented it it since they knew they would get sued) how Compaq…
There are a number of startups (and some that already got aqui-hired) working on the problem of "how do i connect with a medical provider who specializes (or at least has seen before) what i have/think i have?" what…
Tabasco has a lot of acid and salt in it; in addition to (very minor/mild) flavor the big additions Tabasco brings to the party are Acid, Salt, and some heat. Cholula is more like a taco sauce, Tabasco does a lot to the…
My first (and only firsthand experience) with Eliza was running it on a Mac 512 on probably System 6 in a 7th grade classroom (one of the teachers collected the old antique Macs the school was going to throw out and ran…
Getting wakeword stuff to work 1. reliably and 2. very low latency has been what has held back local fixed point hardware assistants. I've taken a couple stabs at this myself but custom wakeword is a weirdly hard nut to…
California just passed "balcony solar" but requires G99 certification, which is, of course, slightly different than the G98 that everyone else on the planet uses.
I still don't get why, after 25 years of slashdot, still ask why people DRTFA and complain about it as meta commentary. InB4: kids these days :shakes-fist-at-cloud:
A 64GB RTX 5095 GPU @ $2500 would pretty much collapse the cloud hosted AI market. Being able to run Qwen Flash Next/Qwen 4 Flash on my local workstation would eliminate the need to pay for cloud hosted AI for the…
It's pretty interesting to see people still parroting talking points from ~2023 when there is plenty of data to the contrary.
It's not just shooting at static monsters in an empty room, this will go after monsters, make decisions about prioritizing health, changing goals, and finish the level, etc. It's not unique, it's just more impressive…
I noticed Trader Joes was selling champagne grapes the other day. Things must be really, exceptionally grim. France has been stockpiling wine in state owned warehouses (to keep it off the market) and paying farmers to…
If you're looking for a more impressive doom example, I put together laya-duum which uses open source micropython implementation of doom (duum) and freeware freedoom1.wad. It uses the standard jev api and will play…
Selling oil out of the SPR is the new One Weird Trick Military Planners Hate! Biden was a generally fine president, but pulling oil out of the SPR to balance the budget was an extremely ugly way to do it, and hopefully…
Xiaomi already showed that you can train a better-than-Sonnet level model in 8 days for about $850,000. Anthropic really could release a new sonnet version every week if that played to their marketing strategy, but…
S3 cost growth is so gradual most businesses will just absorb the cost. We have some physical backups, but everyone is more than happy to not be shuffling around physical hard drives, and pay Amazon to deal with that…
