We absolutely have the resources to solve those distribution issues, there just isn’t an economic incentive to allocate them that way.

Neither are true, Micron has been plummeting since their earnings report on the 18th. This might have caused a small dip but it’s nothing compared to the cliff they just fell off of.

CXMT has ddr5 manufacturing capabilities but it will be years before they scale it, and they’re embargoed by the US, so nobody on good terms with the US can get it.

And yes, they would also sell to the enterprise customers, but it would lower prices overall.

They’ve been doing it since the start. OAI was fear mongering about how dangerous gpt2 was initially as an excuse to avoid releasing the weights, while simultaneously working on much larger models with the intent to commercialize. The whole “our model is so good even we’re scared of it” shtick has always been marketing or an excuse to keep secrets.

Even now they continue to use this tactic while actively suppressing their own research showing real social, environmental and economic harms.

It’s the HDMI forum’s fault, they won’t allow amd to add HDMI 2.1 support to their Linux driver. It’s very possible that the hardware itself does support 2.1.

Religion is just the excuse used to do bad things. Without religion the ones doing the bad things will find a new excuse.

This is fairly harmless compared to the government trolls. Pretty much every Canada related subreddit has been dealing with a slurry of xenophobic posts from brand new accounts with hidden post history. The better subreddits quickly ban or lock them but several let them go as they reinforce the moderator’s own worldview. Not even the Costco Canada subreddit is safe.

It has to be tailored to the specific hardware so I don’t think it’s a major concern for most users. It doesn’t seem like something that can be fully mitigated either, so it’s probably not worth worrying about. Side channel attacks are really cool but also kind of useless in most practical scenarios.

The only advantage of teams is that it’s bundled with other Microsoft software. It’s worse than slack in every way. It’s a textbook example of a monopoly.

Replacing all jobs won’t create true abundance because the resources required to create things are finite, namely land and space in general. Without labour exchange the ones controlling the land have no reason to produce things for the average person who cannot provide them with anything in return. For a world with true abundance we’d need to eradicate greed, which I just can’t see happening.

To be fair anything short of selling chrome or breaking up the company would have a positive reaction. The possibility of losing chrome was priced in.

Perplexity (an “AI search engine” company with 500 million in funding) can’t bypass cloudflare’s anti-bot checks. For each search Perplexity scrapes the top results and summarizes them for the user. Cloudflare intentionally blocks perplexity’s scrapers because they ignore robots.txt and mimic real users to get around cloudflare’s blocking features. Perplexity argues that their scraping is acceptable because it’s user initiated.

Personally I think cloudflare is in the right here. The scraped sites get 0 revenue from Perplexity searches (unless the user decides to go through the sources section and click the links) and Perplexity’s scraping is unnecessarily traffic intensive since they don’t cache the scraped data.

They’ve been saying this for the last 2 years

They get a new feature to boast about

“Free market” fans when free market

The speed of many machine learning models is bound by the speed of the memory they’re loaded on so that’s probably the biggest one.

They’ll sell each of them off to be run into the ground by some other billionaires. Both are heavily subsidized by Google’s ad business which is still somewhat unobtrusive up front. As much as Google’s services have degraded, it will be much worse with another company at the helm trying to squeeze as much value out of their investment as possible.

This will be the subprime mortgage crisis of the 2020s.

In their human choice benchmarks it was only chosen 59% of the time compared to 4o. That’s a 15-20x cost increase for 9% difference.

Poor moderator probably had a foot fetish
