“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.

Rather than CPUs I think these are a much bigger deal for GPUs where memory is much more expensive. I can get 128GB of ram for 300CAD, the same amount in vram would be several grand.

You’re licking the boots of a company that uses the work of others without compensation or credit then sells it back to you at a premium. This is the exact behavior the GPL license aimed to prevent. I have nothing against the technology if it’s made with permission and benefits the people it depends on, but that’s clearly not the case here.

Ludites are an apt comparison. The Luddites fought to protect their industry from industrialists who aimed to replace them with cheap, low skilled and child labour. The goal of AI isn’t advancement it’s replacement, and most of the companies pushing it are transparent about that.

You can’t larp about using opensource software while creating memes using closed source garbage.

Seems pretty underwhelming. They’re comparing a 109B to a 27B and it’s kind of close. I know it’s only 17B active but that’s irrelevant for local users who are more likely going to be filtered by memory rather than speed.

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

Immortals is far too generic to be a problem, there are plenty of other works that also use that name. The name changed from gods and monsters because they didn’t want to fight monster energy and potentially delay the game.

This would also effectively ban the use of any research produced by a Chinese national. Any papers which cite the work of Chinese labs (most of them) would be illegal, as this could be interpreted as aiding Chinese AI research.

The llama-1 paper acknowledged the use of the books dataset, libgen isn’t mentioned in any of the papers so this is new info.

The reason plane accidents are less common is because the worst licensed pilot is more competent than the average licensed driver by a wide margin

Airplanes will never be pilotless, there will always be a human in the loop for redundancy. A failure in a self driving car could kill a few people at most, a failure in a pilotless plane could kill thousands.

Tech bros have ruined the prestige of a lot of titles. Software “Engineer”, Systems “Architect”, Data “Scientist”, Computer “Wizard”, etc.

What’s the deal with Alpine not using GNU? Is it a technical or ideological thing? Or is it another “because we can” type distro?

The fact that you can’t buy the cable needed to unbrick a Chromebook, and have to solder it together yourself from Google’s schematics is ridiculous.
