> they certainly have capability to review a trusted pasteboard copying predicate as I am suggesting

They do not have the capability to exhaustively check all uses thereof in a way that obviates the need for a user to consent to having you monitor their pasteboard.

They could develop it, expending significant resources on an edge-case for a tiny fraction of app developers, or they could ask the user for permission because the user has the context to expect this request (or to not).

So just to clarify, is that: Ideal is running the model on a GPU (any brand? Nvidia, AMD, etc.?) with 16GB of GPU RAM, less ideal is running it on the CPU, for which it needs 8GB system RAM? Presumably it will occupy all that memory while it's running?

What about if I have a GPU with 8GB?
The machines invented so far haven't done "highly innovative things" all by themselves, and yet people doing innovative things often find their machines useful. I expect organizations consisting of both humans and machines will still be pretty important for a while.

> or alternatively, a dev tools startup

I have notice a lot of dev tools startups on YC. Since a dev tool startup is sort of a "busman's holiday" [1] for geeks, it sounds like a really attractive proposition. Get funded to do something that is pure programming, for other programmers.

[1] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/busman%27s_holiday
Of course you can. Managing people mean having to deal with people of various skill levels and with different things motivating them. You have to find way to make it work and that means finding way to get something out of people who are not intrinsically motivated. No one said it was easy.
> If the reward from working is barely enough to cover the necessities, then there is technically no difference between working as a free citizen, and being forced to work as an indentured servant, other than a vague notion of freedom, which in that case is the freedom to decide between working and living on the streets.

Slave/indentured servant -> live-in servant -> servant -> service worker -> self-employed service worker (contractor)

At each step along this 'evolution', the beneficiaries of the labour have freed themselves from the burden of supplying some of the resources needed by the worker (shelter, food, holidays, sick pay, health insurance, safety and other equipment, education/training, etc). In theory this has been balanced by increased monetary compensation. When that compensation isn't enough for the worker to meet these needs, what should we expect? That they become indebted?

I think we'll get there but it will take years to arrive at a robust solution, because of the complexity of the ecosystem. The cooperative matrix extension, the portable and standard way to do what is usually marketed as "tensor cores," just landed in the spec and drivers a couple months ago. It will take people time to figure out how to use them effectively, partly because you have to query which options are supported at runtime.

There's still a driver and you're still at mercy of it (bugs and all), it's just much more likely to be installed on your Windows or Linux machine than a ROCm stack.

You don't even need to know what safety net is, the description after completely summarizes it and makes way more sense than talking about cash which I can't see any relation to the original topic.

It’s not euw4a. It’s everywhere. The allocation algorithm across the board kills off TPUs after no more than a couple hours. usc1f, usc1a, usc1c, euw4a; it makes no difference.

It would be funny if someone set gpt-2-15b-poetry (our project) in some special way to prevent us from making TPUs that ever last more than a few hours, but from what I’ve heard from other people, this isn’t the case. That’s what I mean about the left hand doesn’t know what’s going on with the right hand. It’s not a misconfiguration. Again, pretend to be some random person who just wants to apply for TPU access, fill out your form, then try to do research with the TPUs that are available to you. You’ll have a rough time, but it’ll also cure this misconception that it’s a special case or was just me.

Again, no need to take my word for it; here’s an organic comment from someone who was rolling their eyes whenever I was cheerleading TRC, because their experience was so bad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36936782

I think that the experience is probably great for researchers who get special approval. And that’s fine, if that’s how the program is designed to be. But at least tell people that they shouldn’t expect more than an hour or two of TPU time.

It's a safe assumption that they though of it

BUT

Testing for it and getting useful data of something like a survey is a different story.

For example for a thing like that a survey could do more harm than good if the principles aren't really strict.

It wouldn't surprise me that some researchers could have just ignored not measurable data like that for the analysis. (staring if ofc)

I bet you're right. Even if you take into account that a data center is a monster consumer of energy, in the grand scheme of things it's not that big. Some back of the envelope math:

Global electrical production in 2022 was ~30,000 TWh.[1]

If we over-estimate that a hyperscale data-center will consume about 100 MW of power, per year that would be around 876 GWh.[2]

Let's overestimate again and say that 1,000 new data centers spring up in a year, every year they would consume 876 TWh.

Which, is 2.92% of total electricity production. Which given the fact that I overestimated the energy consumption by more than an order of magnitude, I would say the term "rounding error" is accurate.

I think the main limiting factor in the near term is going to be chip production capacity. The fabs take so long to spin up, it's going to be a while before we can even consider "electricity production" being a limiting factor.

>the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act — the Democrats are trying to fundamentally reshape American industrial policy.

I guess it's technically "bipartisan" in the sense that they got some republicans to vote for it, but if you look at the actual votes[1] it's clearly being carried by democrats. Given that, I don't think the claim of "the Democrats are trying to fundamentally reshape American industrial policy" is misleading or "interesting editorializing" (whatever that means).

> we've opened up being an artist to a wider audience.

No, we've opened up the ability for someone who writes a short textual description of an illustration to obtain an illustration ostensibly matching that description for a much lower cost than they might have paid for it before these technologies were available, e.g. by commissioning an artist.

You're right that technique can be abstractly separated from other aspects of the artistic process, but you miss how the inability to guide the application of technique will cut your capacity for expression off at the knees. The prompt is the art, such as it is, and the ability to iterate on versions of the prompt and parameters of the model to random-walk your way to a result that approximates what you were imagining is a very poor substitute for the ability to lay down the brush strokes yourself.

Is "hyper specific" supposed to be a bad thing? These are the ones publicly disclosed. Do you know of some others?
Couple things, mostly pricing and availability:

1) Margins. Public cloud investors expect a certain margin profile. They can’t compete with Lambda/Fluidstack’s margins.

2) To an extent also big clouds have worse networking for LLM training. I believe only Azure has infiniband. Oracle is 3200 Gbps but not infiniband, same for AWS I believe. GCP not sure but their A100 networking speeds were only 100 Gbps I believe rather than 1600. Whereas lambda, fluidstack and coreweave all have ib.

3) Availability. Nvidia isn’t giving big clouds the allocation they want.
There are some pretty scary possible solutions that cover all of climate change, overpopulation, labor and resource scarcity in one fell swoop given AI and a lot of money.
You're right, I didn't read it. I'm responding to comments in general on this article and others, which is full of misconceptions. I didn't bother with the article itself because every single one I've read is also full of misconceptions or incomplete information or uncharitable interpretations or unsubstantiated personal attacks against Sam Altman.

Yes, it has to work. That’s exactly the point the person you’re responding to is making. There are plenty of things libc doesn’t provide.

>> Body odour is surely partly genetic though […]

> It has mostly to do with whether you’re infected with a stinky bacteria or not.

The bacteria is determined (partly) by your genetics and the type of sweat glads you have. Eccrine sweat glands go directly to the surface of the skin (secrete: water, NaCl, K), while apocrine sweat glands connect into hair follicle (secrete: protein, lipids,): the bacteria feed off the latter.

The gene on whether you have (more) apocrine glands is ABCC11:

Reciprocally, the level of understanding of "things that would actually be helpful" of most IT crews I interact with is abysmal.

So much room for disappointment on both sides, I sure I hope I can help bridge this someday.
> The machines invented so far haven't done "highly innovative things" all by themselves, and yet people doing innovative things often find their machines useful.

This statement is near to being tautological. The central test is rather whether people who do "highly innovative things" become more productive in doing so not just by the mere fact that the AI removes some yak shaving from their work.

Otherwise, you could simply argue that people who do "highly innovative things" also find

- a housecleaner

- a personal secretary

- using a word processing program instead of a typewriter

- a washing machine

- an automatic dishwasher

- ...

to be useful.

I think Civitai, where the Rutkowski LoRa is hosted and where the screenshot in the article is from, in part set the tone during the earlier conflict with Sam Yang/@samdoesarts.

When looking at stats for Python's growth we have to remember 2 things. The number of libraries on PyPi is inflated by the same spam phenomenon which has infected npm, producing ludicrous library upload stats. Second, a large section of the Python userbase is non-programmers using it in a lab context to crunch some data and produce a pretty graph. Might as well be R or Matlab.

I don't think the article claims A). The claim is that YC prefers companies that match a certain pattern and if yours does not then chances are not great. It mentions that other accelerators could be a fit though. It does not claim to have figured out how to not get rejected.

What would be valuable though is if they posted the feedback and rejection reason that they got from YC.

Why would they get stuck/dead and why wouldn't that happen with threads which might be even worse as they're more tightly bound? At least with zombies or inactive processes you can detect and kill them externally - if needs be.

For better or worse, the wealthy are the thought leaders of society. Their values trickle down to the middle and lower classes. When we see them consume at a high rate (per capita), it sends a message that “what I can afford to consume is ok to consume”. So the masses end up throwing away hoards of cheap single use plastics because it’s convenient and not expensive.

The issue with mass consumption by the wealthy is how it influences the behavior of the more impactful middle and lower classes.
