I find it very that a big company ever gets this deep in layers of indirection, but at least they have the guts to restructure. The government rarely does.

A token is probably not a single char, and an image is probably decomposed into tokens as well (and god knows how many tokens an image is decomposed into) which probably map to similar float-hungry vectors. Your counterargument could use a bit more flesh.

And we're talking about images of texts, not images that represent complex imagery such as a very detailed scene or what have you.

Yes, it's been my experience as well. When I was looking for a good svg generator, I found a bunch of repos on Github created by Chinese programmers: OmniSVG / OmniLottie, SVGDreamer, and a few others. I didn't try them but it tells me that at least some people are trying to make it happen.

Hah, is Google now just as bad at naming things as Microsoft?

Well if you want to be pedantic, your NVMe drive is actually a SSD, nvme being merely a transport protocol. But point taken; I should have said SSD prices.

The disk and memory prices are very high right now. Perhaps they could do a disk-less, memory-less variant.

The switch to hardware-accelerated rendering was poor. It's still causing issues today. Is it the graphic drivers' fault or their poor implementation? Who knows, but they also disabled the switch that allowed to turn it off, which is just classic Microsoft being annoying.

Or USB:

- USB 2.0: High-Speed USB

- USB 3.0: Super-Speed USB

The marketing names are often deficient, but at least there's a clear version number attached to it. Microsoft doesn't like version numbers at all.

When was it different? I never saw that in big corporations, only SMBs when the founders were still at the helm.

Didn't we already have a video of that? I don't remember the data sources used to generate the overlay, however. Was it multiple solders' helmets sharing their data, and/or perhaps even a drone from above?

What damage?

One can say that food can be produced elsewhere, but also data centers might be a critical component of future society if we don't solve birth rates. Also, fewer births mean less food required.

Isn't using Arena just simplifying memory management, thereby reducing the amount of bugs as well?

I now imagine a world where CAPSLOCK is used as "select the next input" and TAB as the character.

I'm sure it did, but that app looks like a Win XP-era app (not even Win7). FilePilot is fast, looks good & feels modern (support a command palette, fuzzy search, etc). The only downside is that it runs on the GPU and so running it inside a VM is a bit of a hassle.

Indeed, their argument makes no sense. They would probably complain about any industry building large factories. It seems they don't like progress, and not even the status quo, they would prefer regression.

Which makes me curious about what Marc actually meant. The quote itself raises eyebrows.

EDIT: From checking in with Claude about his talk.

So the thing he was arguing against was specifically what he sees as a modern therapeutic culture — the expectation that people should examine their motives, feel guilty about their actions, and look backward. He wasn't framing it as a philosophical position so much as a practical one about founder effectiveness.

It's not at all a similar analogy, and you know it. China is a threat. I assume you personally don't care about it, but it is in our interests that it does not dominate the AI industry.

That's not what deterrence means. From google: the action of discouraging an action or event through instilling doubt or fear of the consequences.

It's meant to avoid conflict altogether, say with China and Taiwan.

Perhaps you'd like to know how well interceptor missiles fare today. They are rapidly being made obsolete. Offense is still the best defense.

Why would that be fraud? Is the subsidy something other than giving the people purchasing EVs a "rebate"?

You should check out Michael Levin. Cancerous cells do not grow organ-like structures. Normal cells communicate with other cells as a network to control growth.

Nicely done. Will you be able to render 3D donuts? And even animations, say pick a slice & see it tear apart from the donut.

Isn’t the Memphis city admin mainly composed of blacks?

So this is all python? I bet Chris Lattner probably approached them.

You know, 1.5x for overtime seems great until it is enforced for everybody (like it's done in Quebec) and so it is forbidden by company leadership unless it is deemed a necessity. So for people with more time on their hands than responsabilities, they usually can't (voluntarily) work more in their main job to boost their pay, and so they get side jobs, which are usually not declared.

Mandated 1.5x overtime has consequences.

Another side effect (that I know happens in manufacturing jobs) is that people will deliberately slow their work during the week to work overtime on the weekend. I'd wager this is very common in jobs with frequent overtime opportunities.

Hah, it feels like Microsoft is currently in "Code Red" to implement AI features.

It’s not just redistribution from the very rich. It’s redistribution from every tax payer, and you can bet your tax dollars aren’t used very efficiently.

Unless you agree with the US's current budget (and the staggering debt it entails), you can't say that the government is particularly efficient.

Curious why the upload is so great compared with download speed.
