If you want to treat this as a nice community project, akin to a community garden - great! Just don't think that this makes ANY difference on the macro scale of solving the encroachment of the Sahara, in the same way that a set of community garden initiatives would not solve, in any way, the problem of feeding a huge urban population. For both those things, you need things done at a massive industrial scale. If you want to feed a largely urbanized population of 350 million, you need industrial-scale agriculture, backed by a massive transport and distribution network. If you want to hold back the Sahara by creating a green wall spanning thousands of kilometres, and hundreds of kilometres deep, that is likewise a massive industrial undertaking.

>Of course as the village population grows you send the "young men" out to the edge and have them dig a few more half-moons at a rate of one/day.

Uh huh - because that's what young men want to do, dig ditches for no wage or subsistence-level wage.

I was aware that ChatGPT was a gamechanger when it was released. I was also aware that Nvidia was the only one making the hardware.

But I'm just not the type to immediately jump to "How can I best profit from this?" Rather than researching stocks, I researched transformers more.

You can only sell shovels as long as people are making or have the hope of striking gold. NVIDIA destroying earnings means nothing because they are just selling shovels as fast as they can. This "bubble", if it is one, will pop when everyone finds out that buying every last card didn't actually help their bottom line after all.
No no, the exact opposite. If this bundle of content is so valuable, then someone can make a business out of buying it. Vice could go to WeBuyOldIntellectualAssets.com and get a flat price for it all, and that company would host it or do whatever with it.

The same thing happens with brands - someone bought the Montgomery Ward brand at a bankruptcy auction or something - and with store inventory: once the store goes bankrupt, they just sell the entire store contents, right down to the fixtures, to a liquidator who brings in the "Going out of business! Everything must go!" signs.

Only because the models have seemingly only been trained on generating text that matches a prompt, ie prompt completion. Rather than knowledge retrieval/parsing/organisation.

If part of the training was to only use knowledge sourced from a vector db and that it is allowed to use its trained knowledge only for grammar rules, phrasing or rewriting information then I think it would do a lot better.

Doesn't seem like many models are trained on prompts like "Question Q"->"[no data] I'm sorry but I don't know that" = accepted during training.

This would help immensely for not just for chatbots but for personal use too. I don't want my LLM assistant to invent a trip to Mars when I ask it "what do I have to do today" and my calendar happens to be empty.

The connector on the back is essentially a non-standard serial connector, and the USB cable is a USB-serial adaptor. You can probably make another work, but only by making an adaptor cable yourself. They have some models where the USB-serial adaptor is integrated into the unit, which is generally a bit easier to use and a more typical approach.

(Generally, such a protocol is a better option from a compatibility point of view: it's usually fairly easy to reverse engineer. It would be interesting to sniff what the windows software is doing to work out what protocol or behaviour difference is responsible)

HFV for Hypothetical Future Value: get ready for the quazillion dollar!
Unrelated but about Brave and interesting to me: I recently found myself having a large upstream project that I need to maintain some custom patches for, and there's a need for deeper customizations and I worry that my rudimentary system of applying .patch files will turn into an unmaintainable nightmare of merge conflicts after every rebase. I was thinking about possible solutions, and it occurred to me that Brave being Chromium-based must have this same challenge but an order of magnitude more difficult, so I looked for their code to see how they solved this issue.

It's pretty interesting! They do basically the same thing for core Chromium, applying a (big) set of patches[1].

Incidentally, I'd be interested to hear any ideas/approaches to this problem. I'm guessing if there was something clearly better, Brave would be doing it, but it seems like there should be a better way even if I can't think of one.

Are they? It's not that obvious that they could necessarily scale up their low-power integrated GPUs (as fast as they are) to be competitive in the datacentre. AMD and Intel at least are trying and have/are developing some products.

And I'm not sure about their software? What do they really have that Intel/AMD don't?

The bank gets 5.4% from the federal government.[1] HYSA rates closely track the federal funds rate, because the banks are essentially passing on the fed funds rate to consumers (minus a cut for themselves). The bank can also get 5.3% from short term treasuries right now. So the answer is basically that the federal reserve is giving the return.

Hmmm. Has this been translated from Chinese?

All I'm getting is there was a debate, and the judges (who were totally non-partisan of course) chose the 'scientific' zoonotic origin theory over the 'charlatan' lab-leak theory.

There's really no concrete evidence either way, but there is no evidence at all for zoonotic origin other than that's the usual way things happen, and lots of circumstantial evidence for a lab-leak, plus a good deal of suspicious secrecy on the part of people involved in that research.

Well, good point. In addition of wrong or incomplete compatibility lists, sometimes internal details of products change without even changing SKUs, breaking compatibility.
ARM has abysmal SIMD support. Not even supporting AVX 256. for reference that is about a 10 year lag behind x86. Neon is not an adequate substitute. Additionally when AVX is used, the power draw of a ARM skyrockets to x86 level defeating the advantage ARM has over x86 while offering worse performance. ARM is good for things that require many threads and are not heavily dependent on incredibly high integer performance per thread. x86 is the dominate in high power, when individual thread power is more important due to application requirements or size limits or if they need to do anything with SIMD. ARM has a lot of push behind it. But it contrary to techbro hype., it is not a drop in replacement for x86 and I dont think it ever will without shooting themselves in the foot making them less efficient.

I have an APC on macOS, too, and as of a couple of OS iterations ago it recognizes it natively. I used to run apcupsd on macOS, but it was quite tricky to keep it working, due to the USB interface. This was on an older Mac than I'm using now (the trashcan Mac Pro), but it mostly worked and I would always have an indication when it stopped working as the icon in the menubar would change. I think the usual issue was so lock file was owned by root and couldn't be deleted.

Every non-tech company in the world is trying to figure out an "AI strategy," but most executives have no clue as to what they're doing or ought to be doing. They're like patsies with money joining a game of poker they don't understand. They are on track to learn predictable lessons that cannot be learned in any other way.

Every provider of "AI as a Service" is spending money like a drunken sailor who just came back after spending six months at sea. None of these providers are charging enough to cover the cost of development, training, or even inference. There's a lot of FOMO: no tech company wants to be left out of the party.

Nvidia, as the dominant software-plus-hardware platform (CUDA is a huge deal), is the main beneficiary of all this FOMO. A lot of unprofitable spending in AI ends up becoming... a juicy profit for Nvidia. We're witnessing large-scale transfer of wealth, from the FOMO crowd and clueless end-users to mainly one company.

The $2T question is: Is all this FOMO sustainable in the long run?

The problem is not necesarily broken english, but English that you actively learn (As opposed to passively absorb it being a native)
ESL speakers tend to be a lot stiffer and structured with the way they create their sentences

Native speakers usually make subtle "mistakes"*, or even mess with grammar intentionally, while ESL speakers can and do learn to do this, there's a weird line of "Does this make sense to other people without my context" that does create a difference in how often you do it

This is best exemplified by the trope of "Sorry for my broken english", followed by some of the most terse prose you have ever read

*Is it a mistake if it's widely used? Or even done intentionally?

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/955/
Before Apple's M1, ARM was slow and near unusable for x86-class machines. There were some cheap ARM Chromebooks with a much shorter lifespan than their x86-based brethren, and an ARM tablet that Microsoft abandoned, and that's about it.

After the M1, the ARM companies needed to up their game, and Qualcom is rumoured to finally release something competitive to a real x64 chip in the near future. This isn't the first time they've made claims like these, though, and I very much doubt they'll live up to their promise.

Meanwhile, x64 has caught up to Apple in terms of compute power (especially per dollar, which is the reason x64 is so popular), is getting closer and closer to Apple's power consumption levels, and unless the M4 will have dramatically more performance, the ARM overtake will just have been an outlier.

I'm not so sure how long non-Apple ARM will be able to stay competitive given the turnaround x64 has managed to make in just a few short years. It looks like x64 still has plenty of room for improvement, and this proves that the reason compute performance has plateaued was that there was no real competition.

Eh, I would expand that quote to include "to people who are polite to you" in both cases.

Being polite to rude people is a good way for them to try to take advantage of you. At the very least, if you don't enjoy being rude, it's best to ignore them.

In the case of the article, HR messed up by being rude to someone who was polite, and so, got the well deserved cold shoulder.

Movie industry is $77B, television is $300B, and video games are $250B.

Movies are likely shrinking since their revenue was theaters and movie sales, and we all are moving to subscription which priorities TV series and short form videos on TikTox.

Scott G was guffawing at the Oscar kerfuffle because movies dont matter anymore and it’s a shrinking industry. To some degree he may be right.

So independent of AI, movies are in for a rough ride. Which makes me sad, I love the arc of a movie in an engrossing 2-3 hr chunk, and usually much more interesting cinematography and better production value over tv. But I also like manual transmissions and writing letters, so I accept I’m a dinosaur on many fronts.
If you can just put the parameters into the multipliers in these layers, and leave them there while you cycle through the training data, you can use a lot less bandwidth to the compute hardware. Imagine a pipeline where you can feed through a billion tokens/second, each layer of the model persistently mapped to part of a grid of chips.

I suspect we're going to end up with a wildly different architecture before it's all over.
