This. The next gen is LLM direct to machine code. Watch MSFT in this space with their dev tool industry -this will be the master stroke

the race to the bottom on models is well underway. huge IPO's only really make sense for DC/HW lockups, and going vertical.

the cope from authors.

i dont understand the concern. they are putting up great financials. you have to invest ahead of the outcome. this is just classic quarterly public company earnings BS, where public markets dont reward innovation investment. they just want crank the handle financials.

The bigger issue is on the model front, can Google compete; Gemini doesnt seem to be able to compete on the heavy expert end; they are doing well on lighter faster models.

seems to me that we are at the asymtote for most usage. sure run the prompts that need the frontier on generic silicon but burning the fable 5 model into silicon could be perfectly viable

its the definition of a free market that RAM prices have increased. supply and demand.

its all bullshit

sorry but I dont think a private company should dictate country policy as set by elected leaders.

who the hell do you think you are virtue signalling your opinion on the world

anything to do with the massive DDOS attacks that Krebs has been reporting against US carriers?

i swear the single best feature for me would be:

take my photo catalog stored in google photos, apple pictures, Onedrive, Amazon photos. collate into a single store, dedupe. Then build a proper timeline and geo/map view for all the photos.

so wholesome. what a great day to have found this blog.

well done

With the increased caliber of software folks in Trumps orbit, my sense is we will have a much more informed decision from the Whitehouse on this topic and whether the US should weigh into the fray with the UK.

as a side note, its really baffling what this capability would actually provide for? Any serious criminal isn't using icloud backup or even an iPhone in the first place. So this is just a shit outcome for the general population.

If this goes through, I look forward to the news of the world expose on some cabinet members personal details

it's often a corporate's need for new revenue and security that causes the machine to march on. Just look at this TPM Win 10 upgrade issue.

My 2011 i5 desktop is still happily chugging away as a build server, home storage, and remote host. But oh yes, it will have to be nuked, thanks to MSFT policies.

cursor is kicking vscode's butt because it has multi models. also MS is hedging bets against OpenAI. that relationship is not easy

Take note HN, this is what great content marketing looks like.

do pictograms represent a way to reduce tokens?

LLM's are enabling a reimagination of UI. Wheres the biggest opportunity in UI that hasn't kept up to date? legacy and regulated software in the long tail. Thats the disruption opportunity for LLM's.

clearly, google hasn't paid enough campaign donations vis-a-vis Microsoft.

This is just political corruption feigning as doing the right thing for the country.

we are having the wrong debate and are being distracted by the sideshow.

in many ways this is a test balloon for public support to go after big tech as a narrative around censorship over misinformation that will explode over the next few years

I suspect there is no available dataset that can teach the models to learn this. The enjoyment of music is entirely internalized. Skipping a track is an incredibly low fidelity data point.

I've often wondered if Spotify could capture volume control data as part of a track to see if that produces better training data. But again its still too low fidelity.

reminds me of http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

This.

Every nation-state will be in the game. Private enterprise will be in the game. Bitcoin-funded individuals will be in the game. Criminal enterprises will be in the game.

How does one company building a safe version stop that?

If I have access to hardware and data how does a safety layer get enforced? Regulations are for organizations that care about public perception, the law, and stock prices. Criminals and nation-states are not affected by these things

It seems to me enforcement is likely only possible at the hardware layer, which means the safety mechanisms need to be enforced throughout the hardware supply chain for training or inference. You don't think the Chinese government or US government will ignore this if its in their interest?

what the heck is this for, if you can't use it for commercial work?

no chance these incumbent dealers have their fingers deep in politics.

in Seattle companies like Rivian cannot even tell you the price in the retail store due to laws that incumbent dealers pushed through making it illegal know full well that a lack of price will prevent sales.

Tesla is the one exception who was grandfathered in before the law was changed.

Perhaps the planet but definitely not the mind.

I'm still rocking an iPad 6th generation. It's a video consumption device only. A faster CPU doesn't enable any new use cases.

The only reason is the consumer's desire to buy more.

The licensing costs for Ebooks are unsustainable for library's. The publishers don't want any sharing and so the cost per ebook vs physical is totally out of sync with Ebooks considerably higher. One could argue that publishers are the ones who are strangling the viability of libraries to exist.

on the counter I think Australian retail is some of the best. fun, low pressure, engaging and helpful.
