I'm curious how much this is the cause or effect, though? The publishers have been saying that their ability to promote books has drastically reduced with the internet, along with changes in reading and information…
You're validly critiquing where it is now. The hype people are excited because they're guessing where it's going. This is notable because it's a milestone that was not previously possible: a driver that works, from…
I've thought for a while now that we'll end up moving to stricter languages that have safer concurrency, etc, partly for this reason. The most prominent resistance against such languages was the learning curve, but…
This is standard practice. They need to use current lossless formats to display examples to people who don't have the format yet. They are still showing accurate examples of compression artifacts. I'm not sure what else…
Strange, as Cloudinary's test had the opposite conclusion -- jpegxl was significantly faster to decode than avif. Did the decoders change rapidly in a year, or was it a switch to new ones (the rust reimplementation)?…
It looks like folding@home is still going https://foldingathome.org/ I'm quite surprised these are still around as I hadn't seen them mentioned in so long. I always assumed the phase out of screensavers (and…
In theory yes, but in practice they usually have the speaker up far higher than they are speaking themselves so we do only hear one side clearly. I think the high distractability is a trifecta of volume,…
Which models did you try?
Interesting. Even when nothing bad happens? It has always worked for me.
They likely have other things to do.
In this quote I don't think he means it from the business side. He's claiming more data allows a better product: > ... the answers are a statistical synthesis of all of the knowledge the model makers can get their hands…
Is this why everyone only seems to know the first half of Dario's quote? The guy in that video is commenting on a 40 second clip from twitter, not the original interview. I posted a link and transcription of the rest of…
Why do people always stop this quote at the breath? The rest of it says that he still thinks they need tech employees. > .... and in 12 months, we might be in a world where the ai is writing essentially all of the code.…
Some places resist this because it causes a "rich get richer" effect in popularity. But it's admittedly convenient.
My initial assumption is that this is more about Photomator than Pixelmator (ie. their Lightroom alternative rather than their Photoshop alternative). Photomator has shown that you can add a lot of professional-level…
(replying to myself) I ran a quick, non-scientific Python script on my Macbook M2 using local Postgres and SQLite installs with no tuning. It does 200 simple selects, after inserting random data, to match the article's…
I think that's why the GP said "on the same machine" — I read the article as comparing to the typical DB that is located on a separate machine in the data center, accessed over a network, as is currently the common…
Deepmind's recent model is trained with Lean. It scored a silver olympiad medal (and only one point away from gold). > AlphaProof is a system that trains itself to prove mathematical statements in the formal language…
And yet the data is ephemeral, so in many cases could be done faster without the "real" block storage guarantees. Github Actions is pay-per-minute-used, unfortunately, so they may have a negative incentive to speed…
Yes, it's not arbitrary at all — they're only offering it on devices with at least 8GB of memory. The iPhone 15 Pros were the first iPhones with 8GB. All M1+ Macs/iPads have at least 8GB of ram. LLMs are very memory…
Note that buybacks must be announced beforehand by the company, so everyone selling their shares has the same knowledge.
Camping lanterns are still sold with this idea. For instance, I have one of these: https://hardkorr.com/au/product/u-lite-dual-colour-led-lante... > The wavelength of our orange LEDs is 610nm, putting them outside of…
There's definitely a lot that can be critiqued about that period. Famously they divested their ARM-based mobile processor division just before smartphones took off. The new CEO, as the article mentions, seems to have a…
The most upvoted answer does track it down to a Chinese source.
