> if Anthropic models run in a Google cage, does that not also mean Google can distill Anthropic models even easier (both fast and unseen)?
Not really in the interest of the cloud org to allow that, they don't really care how well deepmind is doing as long as they can sell TPU and API (incl. reselling openai and anthropic).
Yes we're not done yet, but renewable only started gaining share again around 2010, and how quickly solar/battery is being deployed is really impressive.
Yes but primary energy isn't a good metric. There's 40-60% loss when converting fossil fuel to final energy being consumed.
Wouldn't they have claimed the bounty?
That said if we're counting bridge/ferry in other countries why not also count it in Switzerland? (Ferry: Horgen and Beckenried, for trains: Lotschberg, Furka, Simplon, Vereina)
> The best assignment is NP-hard to find, so all practical allocators use heuristics.
That said if you do the register allocation while the program is still in SSA form, it becomes polynomial (interference graph is a chordal graph).

> Apparently they overstated revenue in an attempt to try to provide a direct comparison with Anthropic's reported metrics.
Just to clarify from my understanding of the quote, "they" here is openai investors, not openai.
It's all relative to how much shifted you are to the solar time anyway.
Large areas in Europe are permanently away from solar time already (regardless of DST).
Gemini is the gemini app (gemini.google.com), LLM output on search is AI mode / AI overview. Not surprising given it's google, but those are vastly different product / teams / infrastructure / web data availability.
Gemini or google search? those are very different things.
> they have near infinite money and others have not
Given the very high margins on inference, once volume is large enough the other can also start printing enough money.
> In other news, evangelical christians ask scientists to stop publishing about evolution.
not sure it's comparable, but the issue is that for a lot of those mathematical results, they don't really have utility by themselves. The utility is the new branches/understanding that's being developped.
> And why would it get more traction than Mercurial?
There's no network effect headwinds, it's interoperable with git (I assume most people using jj have an upstream repo that's on git).
Also infrastructure costs might be billed differently between industrial vs retail.
(And the marginal cost on infrastructure isn't necessarily paid be the people increasing the demand)
> Air conditioning in buildings is likely viewed as a threat to gas providers as most modern cooling devices also have a heating mode that competes directly with gas heating.
Not sure it makes sense, most of those countries are already phasing out fuel/gas boilers.
IMO it's just cultural shift is slow to adjust (in those countries, a few decades ago AC would have been a wasteful luxury, summer temperature would be well below 30 except for a few days).
In some European countries government (and private entities) isn't allowed to collect ethnicity information.
I guess ITINs are already pretty cost to this.
Also wasn't giving them impossible tasks with ~unlimited tokens and unlimited compaction.

I guess might be quite a change (but writing was on the wall, the Deepmind -> Google Deepmind part was the first step)
Demis took Jeff former title. (Jeff became Chief Scientist when Brain was dissolved into deepmind)
I suspect the SVP/CEO leading Deepmind has a lot more sway over the rest of the company than someone with a title and no reports. :)
(Also the 20y+ of contributions and having built much of the base Google infra probably gave more influence to Jeff than the remaining title)
> To be honest, this feels more like a lifestyle business (aka hobby) than a startup
They're also incredibly productive and can build/deliver really good stuff, so who knows :)
Similar to how Sundar was promoted, isn't it more likely to be a promotion from existing leadership (one of the product leads/SVP).
Google is just an investor, it's not a subsidiary.
It usually isn't, Chairman doesn't involve day to day supervision and decision making.
When Eric Schmidt became chairman or Ruth Porat became president, this was more a transition towards less involvement than an increase of impact.
Jeff Dean became Chief Scientist when Demis took over his org.
It's still the typical title as a stepping stone towards something else (often outside).
> OpenAI and Anthropic are essentially offering Monopoly money in the hopes that one day you can exchange it for real money.
I thought employees have already had opportunities to cash out (there's enough funding rounds for that).
(Tho how much you can sell was limited, iirc to double digit millions...)
> Germany's output is almost irrelevant in this context: it amounts to a mere 1.4% of the global output.
Conveniently Germany is about 1% of the world population. You realize that if most countries use the same argument nothing ever change? (It's only 1% how can it make a difference)
At a minimum you'd also need to enable runtime bound checking for span/vector accesses (I think chrome did that).
