Nobody has shamed users for having unused compute, only stating that it is not economically optimal when there are global restrictions on a resource.
Underutilization was indeed a problem before. The anecdotes you've presented are not broadly applicable. The entire reason SETI@Home started was because people had unused hardware sitting idle at home. Every company…
"Few people will argue with the logic of whether it is technically accurate" Must why people in this HN thread are throwing out so many ad-hominems instead.
Two statements can be true and he stated one of them. Sam is not wrong. 1. Local inference can cause a large under-utilization of resources from users that do not run local inference hardware at capacity over the…
> But is it anything more than a neat hobby at this point? It effectively already is. It may end up in the same domain as Haiku OS, Plant 9, or Squeak, but they are all still interesting domains of research.
Reading stuff like this continue to make advances and new releases is like a fever dream when everything else is all AI.
This is by openrouter, which a single service that may not be representative of the entire token market
The difference is the same, whether you have 10k series representing the same variables or 10k series representing different variables decomposes into the same forecasting problem that you can either over-generalize…
Have you tried the latest TSFMs? Research (even in 2025) shows they outperform XGBoost models in certain scenarios. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266682702...
No reason to spend time classifying and worrying about cross-series validation when you use a TSFM.
All the businesses with product catalogs for example, every product can have several time series associated with it. If a business has 10k employees, you have, at minimum, 10k time series to perform employee analyst…
A lot of misconception around the utility of foundational time series models on HN. Sure, you could train a XGboost model on a time series with holiday or event covariates, but what if you have 10k different series to…
Yes, because I am the one who enacts agency over the CNC machine.
Tabasco is much more of a spice than a sauce, and I reckon thats one of the reasons its so popular. I can put Tabasco on many more foods of different types than I could with Cholula, Franks, Tapatio, Valentina, or…
The scenario is distinctly different: in one scenario the government had "control" over it and in the other a private corporation has "control".
This "holier than thou" attitude in this comment is precisely the reason why HN users have largely misunderstood tech trends and desires by the general public.
If it were made illegal then news journalism, documentary filmmaking, sports broadcasting (crowds), street photography, and police-body camera footage would become extinct almost overnight.
Your response is unrelated to the content of this thread (the open sourcing of hardware/software)
LARPing would imply pretending to do something, but not actually doing it. Here they appear to be actually doing it (open source product). Is there something Im missing?
Why are you so mad about orbital data centers? Your language is full of hate and vitriol. Let people build things that other people say are impossible or infeasible, find out if they work, turn out they dont work, then…
This argument sounds reminiscent of "this is not AGI/ASI". Arguing over definitions is arbitrary. This is an operational data-center that is processing data on TPUs. That alone qualifies as an orbital data center.
Are you moving the goalpost? There are other people in this thread right now that are stating exactly that running orbital GPUs in space will not physically be possible (heat limits, etc).
Genuine question: why are there so many people up-in-arms on orbital data centers? Like they have a personally vested interest in ensuring their opinions on failure are correct? There are many people on HN that despise…
This is the same as AWS's new quickSuite platform?
Residential contractors are typically not the same as commercial contractors. Simply for the fact that commercial charges 2x what residential does is one of those reasons. Not saying there is zero overlap, but the pools…
