perhaps! but you can look at what a five year old GPU (Nvidia A100 80gb) sells for today. it's not cheap! I wish it was!

This is also true of the older P100 and hobbyists do this stuff now, today

Of course it is. If I write a movie review and sell it to a magazine or whatever, it's derived from the movie, and it's fair use, and I don't need to ask the movie owner for permission first, or give them a cut of my sales. Even if I use some reasonable number of screenshots and video clips, as long as the resulting work is "transformative" i.e. actually a new work, a movie review instead of a copy of the movie.

Do you want this to work any other way? I constantly see people in the AI debate working themselves into wildly copyright maximalist positions. I actually don't think that we should give every author veto power over a book review!

you know you can just log onto eBay and see what the price of a used H100 is. nobody is stopping you

there's no prize for predicting 12 of the past 2 bubbles

oh no he's using computers to write software

if you want people to use public transit, you need to make it not be a mobile homeless shelter. otherwise everyone who can afford to will insist on a private transport

it seems like they were trying that last year, it didn't work, so he flipped out and fired everyone and now plan B is to buy Cursor and run a quick rename of "Composer 3" to "Grok 5"

there is literally zero evidence to support that assertion

fascinating! we find the objectively correct value system by "currently widespread agreement"! Good thing "the common view" is always correct. Hey, have there ever been any issues where there used to be "widespread agreement" and now there's disagreement, or even "widespread agreement" in the polar opposite direction?

I can think of several off the top of my head, but maybe you need to spend some more time thinking about the history of moral philosophy.

"Mainly, one suspects, to make the open models less ethical on demand"

Or because the user's idea of what is ethical differs from the model creator. The entire "alignment" argument always assumes that there's an objectively correct value set to align to, which is always conveniently exactly the same as the values of whoever is telling you how important alignment is. It's like they want to sidestep the last ten thousand years of philosophical debate.

As a concrete example, the Qwen model series considers it highly unethical to ever talk about Taiwan as anything other than a renegade province of China. Is this alignment? Opinions may differ!

it's in a former appliance factory that's right next to two pre-existing TVA power plants, a Nucor steel mill, and a sewage treatment facility. you've been lied to about how close it is to a residential area, just look at a map

You should backtest this strategy over the last 20 years before you make serious decisions off of the vibe from internet comments

it's been pretty funny seeing people who did not predict Claude Code's success and previously said the whole sector was a nonsense dead end now saying, well okay there's one massively successful killer app, but what if that's the only one ever?

fortunately, you aren't only operating on representations, right? lemme check my Schopenhauer right quick...

the people that want to make sure the AI never gives you any "potentially dangerous information" also want to rigorously control your google search results, and also what books you're allowed to read

are these "technological advancements" in storage in the room with us right now? because I'm looking at today's price per TB and it's higher than it was in 2020

connectors are bad for signal integrity and GDDR is particularly picky about this

"repeatedly struck down" means somebody keeps bringing it back

you've posted this multiple times and it's not actually true. go read the ingredients list on a supermarket burger

they're obviously trying to steer customers to the monthly subscription instead of the pay-per-token API.

now, the consensus of the commentards on this website, who don't have access to any of anthropics financial data, is that the monthly subscriptions are a money loser!

so either the leading AI company's business dev team is wrong or the Jacker News comment section is wrong, it is a mystery

no, the other such labeled companies are foreign owned firms like Huawei that the government never intended to do business with in the first place

Grocery stores track their customers very extensively and cash purchases are fairly rare. I'm very confident that Costco, for example, knows everything that every member has bought from them since the tariffs started.

Hydrogen is so hard to handle that NASA never really figured it out; hydrogen leaks just delayed Artemis 2 last week. There's been about 70 years of trying to solve these issues for space launch and very little progress. It doesn't seem like it'll be easier trying to do this as the scale of every gas station?

coding like a hospital patient

Google fucks up 90% of their products, why do you think Gemini is in the 10%?

Aluminum is 8% of the earth's crust and silicon is 28%; I think we're good

you know you're looking at some hard analysis when they use the number "gazillion". can I get that one in scientific notation?

there are, he was just too lazy to use them

the more you don't want somebody to be allowed to say something, the more stochastic it is
