A stitch in time saves nine.
There are classes of problems that should be worried about aforehand, just ask the crew of the Titan.
Autonomous super intelligence escaping airgapped computers seems like one of those problems.
Yeah this is why people stopped playing chess once the engines got good enough…
If you’ve been in the software game long enough then you can recount days or weeks tracking down a particularly tricky bug that was resolved by a single line of code.
That’s because software engineering is not about the amount of code you write: it’s about problem solving.
So then logically, either:
- there are problems still to solve and you can work to solve them (maybe with AI)
- there are no problems. So let’s head to the beach, as there are no problems.
I get a neuronal immune response to bureaucracy
It seems like AGI until it does something that leaves you scratching your head. Getting a simple thing wrong.
Double precision cell chips were reserved for military, I think (or maybe also blade processors). So doing any serious physics on them was dead in the water - same with macs tbh
> doing Typescript type fixes with this model across 50 files cost me $54 this afternoon.
Not trying to be harsh, but that sounds like a skill issue. You have the language server to lean on; easy feedback loop; sub agent per type.
A fascinating insight into the architecture of modern cpus from an entrepreneurial angle. Bravo!
I wonder if we could gamify and democratise it somehow, like fold-at-home and wikipedia...
I've been training a teeny specialised model to run in a browser on a phone to detect harmonium notes played in a song (harmonium turns out is a pita, another story for another day), getting good labelled data is _all_ of the hard work.
That being said, maybe for cheap inference, using a big model to train something ultra-suited for the task at hand might be how we could handle local inference; thinking language specific models.
The price of convenience.
But you forgot about Vickers
Because of AI or because hackers are hyper targeting infra clusters?
I’ve been wondering about potential regression in coding models.
The initial models were corrected by programmers which gave a very high quality feedback signal. Whereas with vibe coding on the rise, you’ll lose that signal.
Vercel auto creates deployments on pushes to branches. That was a super useful feature in beta testing web stuff.
didn't know datomic was free of licensing fees - I didn't use it back in the day because the cost was prohibitive... interesting
I vibed up a chrome extension that sets a timer, hides shorts, redirects home to subscriptions, and hides comments and recommendations.
It’s all toggleable so I don’t disable the extension when I do want some neuronal junk food. But just the micro friction being added back in is such a huge help to becoming more aware when using it.
I think it was $1000 too expensive to take off. It’s also too heavy, they should drop the front screen and ruthlessly save weight.
Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps.
Whether it’s pleasant to have any screens that close to your eyes - or ever will be - is maybe the bigger question for VR.
Guess you’ve sorted it but it might be in the session memory in your root folder. I’ve recovered some things this way.
I think that metal isn’t double precision; so that limits some serious physics simming; but if you’re doing that I guess you just rent a gpu somewhere.
I would definitely be into this if adding an egpu was first class supported.
compounding recursion is leading to emergent behaviour
Wasn't the answer 42?
Also, first question to the new model: "So... any way we could do this with fewer parameters?"
Occasionally you meet people who shock you with how talented they are. I watched a couple of his presentations and he immediately reminded me of some of those people I’ve met before.
looks like the loading is the 45mb download it needs to do.
And for non linear forcing of plasmas… but it’s been many years since my phd
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Perhaps have chatgpt search through drafted laws to identify inconsistencies, curtails to liberty, and evidence of self-interest…
