At this point though gaming GPUs are not exactly affordable. You need a 32GB GPU to be able to run something genuinely useful for coding, and that's thousands of dollars. Still, happy to see open models make lots of…
Neither OpenAI or anthropic can afford to lose subscribers to the other or anybody else right before IPO. I tried both CC and codex recently, and I would say they are practically on par. Some things CC does better, some…
You're right about the latter. X is the most obvious example. That being said, what I've noticed is that there was a shift with the arrival of Instagram and smartphones. Social media used to be more symmetric (we're…
Yeah I don't know. I've had issues with Gemini where I would point to a bug and a probable cause for the bug, and it would not argue incorrectly that my understanding was wrong and the cause of the bug was elsewhere. It…
HN is full of cynical comments like the above. We should be celebrating people trying things and doing things differently.
Well with programming there can be a creative aspect which is more like sharing art/music online... But unfortunately that's still affected. I've been putting out what I think are pretty banger projects, with a good…
I find the signal UI super intuitive and clean.
I don't know why anyone is using telegram when there is signal. Also with all the issues around telegram and their founder, you'd probably be safer using whatsapp even... :/
Well the thing is, even if they gave everyone access to their latest model with no filters whatsoever, they probably used the equivalent of many millions of dollars worth of tokens to solve these problems. A few…
The ARM1 was a 32-bit CPU and it only had about 25K transistors so that one might be fair game if you can bring the components a little bit closer together, but you don't need a fancy PCB for that, and I guess the clock…
Probably not, because transistors produce some heat, and you can't really sandwich surface mount transistors between PCB layers either. You could vertically stack PCBs with some spacing, however, but then normal PCBs…
Maga support?
Probably AVX-512. AFAIK Apple CPUs are still using ARM NEON instructions with 128-wide SIMD registers. I guess they are banking on you using the GPU if you want to parallelize those kinds of workload.
It might be conceptually similar to a single-output-token LLM (sort of). LLMs output next-token probabilities. You can ask LLMs to output yes/no, or to output only a color, or only a digit or something like that. In…
Agreeing with you. Trump's attitude on the global stage has been to disrespect, insult and threaten every ally. Come at everyone with a "we're better than you" attitude and show that he can't be trusted. The only…
How far can you get with Qwen 3.6 35B A3B? What scope of task is it able to do?
Ad impressions typically cost money, so there's a case to be made that this is sort of self-correcting too. That being said, IMO no website should be able to freeze your machine. This is a bug. Steps should be taken to…
Most people (and most companies) can't tell bad ideas from good ideas. This is also true of LLMs to some degree. They need post-training in specific domains (e.g. coding) to become competent in that specific area.
You can use it for things like classifying documents, spam detection and detecting certain events, etc. You're right that it's not strong enough for coding but it can still be quite good for question answering and such.…
I would like to see an examples directory with a diverse set of example programs. What would be most interesting to me is programs with non-trivial memory usage and data structures, because that's where differences in…
The weights are very unlikely to be on the chip itself. That wouldn't work for SOTA models that are terabyte scale, even quantized. This is probably an accelerator for specific kernels in the model, but the weights are…
In order to cure cancer with AI, you would need to give it complete control over the experimental pipeline, including probably direct robotic access to a web lab, which comes with its own set of risks. It's just not the…
I think that people will argue around that. Self-driving cars are already strong enough to kill people and even if you only made the robot strong enough to lift 15 pounds of weight, that's probably strong enough to slit…
The thing with drug discovery is that the bottleneck is not coming up with new molecules, etc. It's the multi-year, extremely expensive clinical trials that often don't even succeed. I doubt it will be a big moneymaker…
Probably because the team lead is a web developer, and whatever he says goes. Companies are typically very hierarchical, even if they like to claim otherwise.
