Benchmarking that I've seen shows that the M5 Max outperforms the DGX Spark, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1tfzsd6/m5_vs_d... or https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1tr7hzw/psa/. Seems to me…
They are paying for the existing earth-bound data centers SpaceXai owns.
> He used xAI to move the Twitter debt so it couldn't be taken away for failure to pay debts. Exactly. I think it was obvious he was shifting the debt around when xAI merged w/ X right after xAI raised a large funding…
Probably in a desperate attempt to stall margin calls on the debt, which would cause him to have to sell his Tesla stock, which might start the freefall in stock price, creating a negative feedback loop and cratering…
This is an opinion piece, similar to her infamous hardware lottery paper. We shouldn't expect a repo on an opinion piece.
My wife refuses to watch it because it hit too close to home.
Of course they are. Why would you want revenue? If you show revenue, people will ask 'HOW MUCH?' and it will never be enough. The company that was the 100xer, the 1000xer is suddenly the 2x dog. But if you have NO…
A for-profit media company that foreign interests can pile money into for a quid pro quo, that’s somehow not legally a quid pro quo anymore.
The down rounds have started for those companies that either haven’t found product market fit, or aren’t in contention on leaderboards. Especially those companies that are a OpenAI wrapper and can be easily replaced by…
The padding in healthcare is part of the system. One part is to have high prices so insurance can negotiate them down. And for hospitals in particular, prices are padded to subsidize emergency care for the indigent…

Then take a Cauchy or a t-distribution. Basically anything with a longer tail than exp(x^2). The Gaussian summary will be misleading because of the tails.
They’ve chosen the path of commoditizing their complement. To ensure that ML capabilities are not a differentiating factor in the market, make ML capabilities a commodity available to everyone at the marginal cost.
Everyone talks about the chips, but Nvidia's true competitive advantage is CUDA. Only recently has PyTorch added AMD support, and benchmarks I've seen have shown that AMD has a lot of work to catch up.
From a practitioners perspective, I view this type of behavior as tuning the model more towards the exploitation side of the exploration/exploitation trade-off. I think a lot of recommendation engines do this (looking…
My wife and I visited Paris last summer and biked everywhere. It felt very safe, not as safe as Copenhagen but still safe. I hope that with more time, as more drivers get used to bikes on the road it will get safer and…
Hi Nishant. Great work, as always.
Was it Clauset, Shalizi, and Newman 2009? That’s the one I know, but I believe there’s many more, especially from Clauset. https://www.stat.cmu.edu/tr/tr853/tr853.pdf
I completely agree with your assessment and logic, but the parent posted suggested that socialization of healthcare (e.g. ObamaCare) is contributing to auto rates. That I don't understand.
> Socialize healthcare as it is forcing all sorts of market distortions I don't understand how you come to this conclusion. Can you explain?
My suspicion has been that SNP array data is not that useful for drug discovery. They’re targeting the most common/variable SNPs, which I suspect don’t have a large health effect (except for maybe late in life,…
