The amount of data they must have at this point running so many of those raptor engines has got to be insane... at least 300+ engine launches now -- wow.
Totally agree — if AI tools are already or nearly at the point where you can say “write a program to do X” and it does it, that’s like telling people they need to learn skills to order something at McDonald’s. The goal…
Tons of CEOs right now keep saying “young people need to learn how to use AI to be successful” and also “we aren’t planning to hire any new college grads due to AI”.. so which one is it.. seems everybody understands the…
And if you want to divide up the world along a couple of axes into job usefulness and how much the worker cares, then the author of the article was in the “useless job and cared”, while you are in the quadrant of caring…
At this point if you have cash or compute credits laying around in the tens of billions, better to hedge your bets than to find out the winner that took all was not you.
Do we know who is funding this? is this one of these things where Meta doesn't want the responsibility for this, so they are pushing to have the OS have the responsibility or something like that?
How long before there is a "we've detected your account has been used multiple times to re-setup a phone.. we've re-enabled the Google Nanny Safety mode.. also we've locked your google account just in case.. " I mean…
When you say "this is NOT from Hastings" I had to double check my post again -- I guess you are saying that the Pade approximation is not from Hastings, but the polynomial approximation that the OP referenced from…
To be accurate, this is originally from Hastings 1955, Princeton "APPROXIMATIONS FOR DIGITAL COMPUTERS BY CECIL HASTINGS", page 159-163, there are actually multiple versions of the approximation with different constants…
I imagine there is a process in place to allow cities / states / communities to place the cameras on polls. If Vegas somehow got around public comment process to put these on poles, then what would stop any random…
Yea I’m super curious if you could build a heat pump to move the heat from the 100C GPUs to concentrate all of the heat into a blazingly hot radiator — and how well that would actually work.
So using Stefan-Boltzmann equation if you have a 1m^2 surface at 100C you can radiate about 1kW from that surface -- assuming both sides radiate that, then lets assume it is double. Assume each blackwell chip + support…
Yea in an ideal world there would be a legal construct around AI agents in the cloud doing something on your behalf that could not be blocked by various stakeholders deciding they don't like the thing you are doing even…
Inference / Agentic AI implies "running models performantly using CPU cores" most likely (maybe with some optimizations / special AVX512 stuff) -- so essentially "welp, no sense in trying to build GPU's, we are too far…
Yea it is tricky for them -- the old model of "search, see google text / link ad, scroll, click website, scroll, see some ads on that page as well, done" will be replaced with "search, see google text / link ad, read AI…
Makes sense — the people getting the presentation will just use AI to summarize it :)
The classic "we are taking something away in order to help you -- don't worry!" In reality, nobody who works on bringing android to other hardware is somehow impeded by having extra device tree info in the source tree.…
The fact that Sam says he would open his laptop to ask Chatgpt something is almost like he is trying to avoid saying he would use his phone. The reality is that we likely don't need any new devices as much as people…
"will find, analyze, and synthesize hundreds of online sources" Synthesize? Seems like the wrong word -- I think they would want to say something like, "analyze, and synthesize useful outputs from hundreds of online…
Wreck wordpress? doesn't seem like it -- seems like a classic "somebody pseudo forked my open-source-ish product / project and they became too popular".. so I'm going to try to prevent fragmentation / somebody else…
His attention span won't be enough to stick with physics for longer than 4 weeks.. he should just apply his skills in building companies to hire a couple of people to work on cool stuff that he is excited about. A good…

Was one of the goals with EdTech to sort of gamify learning to get kids more engaged or something? I could imagine a scenario where some kids learn more by a paper / pencil / book modality and would do worse learning…
Great work by the authors -- great to see this type of effort detailed. Video codecs are complicated so great to see that somebody did this. It would be cool if there ends up being some presentation about this saying…
Yea it definitely felt like at the time Intel was in a tough spot.. while the article is stating that the narrative about the margins being narrow for arm chips so Intel was nervous about the area, one thing I can…
