Skepticism is gone now.

GPUs and inference ASICS also have large amounts of high bandwidth memory, plus lots of high speed storage cache, and dedicated very high bandwidth scale-out and scale-up networks. Because they are also often bound by I/O bandwidth.

If your problem is grepping crazy amounts of data, the infrastructure for LLMs isn't a bad place to look for an example.

Bots have been unable to beat even pretty good amateur humans despite those advantages so it's still pretty interesting.

The Astra one looks pretty good except it's standing on the wrong side of the table

millimeter wave radar systems. Backscatter x-ray machines are no longer used. Both have similar properties of being able to see through clothes.

When you consider the required tipping, the cost is quite close. And the Waymo is nicer.

Don't forget to include time to handle lawsuits and funding delays! Also, someone may break into your house and rip up the instruction book.

And yet, in a recent conflict of the US navy vs swarms of drones, no ships were lost.

Yea it's hard to reconcile such a small number of affected racks with such a widespread impact though, so this must not be the whole story. They're talking about a half a year to restore the data center. It must be more than a roof repair and 19 racks.

Gemini will be replacing the legacy Siri:

I think that where this gets interesting is when you can just drop these robotic systems into an environment that wasn't necessarily set up specifically to handle them. The $50 for your gauge isn't really the cost: it's engineering time to go through the whole environment and set it up so that the robotic system can deal with each of the specific tasks, each of which will require some bespoke setup.

As always, Matt Levine has the best take on this:

"I am sorry. But if you go to Jump Trading and Jane Street and say “hello, I have an unregulated poorly designed mechanism that could lead to $50 billion of market value collapsing overnight, would you like to trade with me,” they are going to say yes, but their eyes are going to light up, you know? If at Time 0 you give them an extremely gameable system that can produce billions of dollars of profit, at Time 10 your system is going to be a smoking wreckage and they are going to have billions of dollars of profit. That’s their whole job, you know? I couldn’t tell you in advance what all the intermediate steps will be, and in fact in hindsight I cannot tell you what the intermediate steps actually were, how Jump and Jane Street made money off the collapse of Terra. But as a heuristic, I mean, come on. Terra was like “hello we have a balloon full of money, here is a pin, dooooooon’t pop the balloon.” Guess what!"

So then do you punish the chefs for making their food too appealing?

The concept of addiction seems be quite diluted at this point. Does it really make sense to say that, because you're trying to make a product that people like, that this means you're addicting them (intentionally or otherwise) to your product?

Food should not taste good? Books should not be entertaining? Don't try to make your video game fun, or some people may become addicted.

AI is already taking over content generation

This is a bit thin to be drawing any conclusions. Only what one person claims. Has this happened to anyone else? Might there be another reason (that they're not telling us) that this happened?

In these modern times of ours, the word literally has taken on a new meaning, which is "not literally but with emphasis." This seems like the most likely explanation.

That doesn't work as well since you want people with crypto wallets you can steal. People applying for a blockchain company are far more likely to have this.

Amnesty has long since squandered any credibility they once had

Here's Nvidia's CPUs, which are increasingly a required part of their data center offerings:

Big tech has generally not loved this because they know that adding friction like id checks massively reduces attach rates. This is watered down enough that it's likely seen as a lesser evil.

And yet, if you tried it, you might find this often not as true as you might think.

If you read the article, you'll find that in fact the collars do prevent them from moving toward the river using sound, vibration, and shocks.

My small angle sin function is even faster: sin(x) = x

Presumably they can't have a menu either? The menu might induce you to buy something.

It's sort of a disingenuous video since they try to present 50-200% increases as small by saying it's some number of cents. And ignoring the environmental land use concerns with these lower efficiency approaches

Wow they get full rights and one winner gets... a trip to their offices in Portugal?

And will still be classified in 2045...

They'd be great for the Moon though.

It"s definitely not true https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/paycheck-to-paycheck-and-five-...
