I don't know, it reads like a pure copium at this moment. While Zitron continuously whined about the "AI bubble", and how the models were not improving, and how spectacularly it should've blown, these same people who…
Off-topic: oh wow the most of the Appendix part looks Claude verbatim. Not something I'd expect in a paper from Stroustrup.
Strongly disagree. Hardware support improved by leaps and bounds last decade and a half. Namespace isolation and cgroups driven containerization. eBPF appeared and gained adoption. Async I/O (and later just everything…

The impression of XP being the best version of Windows came after at least two service packs (patch bundles / minor releases, for those unfamiliar) and the Vista shitshow. First Windows release that was good from the…

Nah, if they reinvested realized profit they can still be in the green overall
This is not true. Both model and chat are censored; the resistance to answer some questions is baked into the weights. This is not specific to Chinese models though, Western ones are also censored, but in different…
What makes you think they have less resources?
There is a branch of math dedicated to (among other things) truthfully estimating the waiting time, called queueing theory. I wonder why it wasn't mentioned in the article.
They probably will, but not for US customers.
I'd argue the money spent for yachts and donations were a drop in the ocean compared to what they burned via Alameda and lack of whatsoever accounting.
> Crypto certainly isn’t doing well now. This "not doing well" is being three times higher than at the time of FTX collapse.
I see the vision here, which the top commenters (sorry, couldn't read all of them) seems to miss. This should be a moonshot bet on the next generation of user experience. People are complaining about apps, but the idea…
Nothing special? I mean, inference engine might need to get some tweaks, to support whatever compute is available. But then, if you put a few terabytes of disk for swap, and replace RAM to bigger sticks if possible, it…

No embargo exists (or could possibly exist) in the first place. Linux is open source, so every patch fixing the security bug is immediately visible to everyone. There is no workaround to that by the very design how the…
What is the current status of the DV program? What will happen with last year's quotas? And another question: has 100k$ requirement on H1Bs make any meaningful impact on applications count (e. g. to remove the lottery)?
It depends on your legal framework. It might be seller's problem, not yours, and 20$ is a price for shifting responsibility.
No one adds MeOH to homebrew. Bootlegging fake hard drinks is a completely different industry, which has zero relation to homebrewing.
I'm not talking about homebrew bootlegging here. It's large-scale frauds where industrial ethanol (which often contains poisonous amounts of methanol, or _is_ methanol) is mixed with flavorants and colorants to cheaply…
Well, I live in a country with both huge distillation culture and significantly non-zero number of methanol poisonings, and they never happen from home brewing. It's really hard to homebrew/distill methanol in a…
Not sure it is true anymore. I've encountered few userspace breaks in io_uring, at least.
