The API pricing is notable too: they dropped the prices by half from the old Mistral Small - that one was $0.20/million tokens of input, $0.60/million for output.

The new Mistral Small 3 API model is $0.10/$0.30.

For comparison, GPT-4o-mini is $0.15/$0.60.
By using a router and simple construction my aim was more consistency! Vs building many boxes and individual mouths.

I've never built anything like this and probably never will. I think that's the biggest variable here!
Thanks, very interesting information. I was aware of IC rules, but have never heard about limitations on model weights.
Learning resources are nice, but I don't think it's analogous to web dev. I can download nginx and make a useful website right now, no fleet of servers needed. I can even get it hosted for free. Making a useful LLM absolutely, 100% requires huge GPU clusters. There is no entry level, or rather that is the entry level. Because of the scale requirements, FOSS model training frameworks (see GPT-NeoX) are only helpful for large, well-funded labs. It's also difficult to open-source training data, because of copyright.

Finetuning weights and building infrastructure around that involves almost all the same things as building a model, except it's actually possible. That's where I've seen most small-scale FOSS development take place over the last few years.
Could they have been used to degrease hands durning the meal?
They don't know your exact location, but they would flag your account/device depending on your App Store localization and IP. I tested this, it doesn't work from outside of the US with a US IP, doesn't work outside of the US with the app downloaded on a phone set to US with a non-US IP, but instead requires a phone localized to download the app from outside the US, being outside the US, with an account that hasn't registered as in the US.

So no, it doesn't use your exact location, it just uses the censorship mechanisms that Apple and Google gracefully provide.
Papal infallibility is not invoked that often. Here’s an example, in section 4 (wherefore…) [0]

In particular papal infallibility was not involved in the Protestants’ complaints, and the response to their complaints (Trent) was a council and again has nothing to do with papal infallibility.

The pope was also an absolute monarch at the time, but protestants didn’t care about that aspect.

For all the hate EWR (Newark) gets, I much prefer to connect through from there to Europe from Boston than Dulles. My biggest objection to EWR is that it's a PITA to get into Manhattan from but, then, that's pretty much true of all the NYC airports. I'm rarely doing that though as I'm almost always taking the train into the city.

> However, it is not AI that is ultimately deified and worshipped, but humanity itself---which, in this way, becomes enslaved to its own work.

Doesn't that describe all religion? I mean, you're telling me that the infinite creator of the universe cares about the prayers, the suffering, the aspirations, and the sexual habits of a bunch of finite beings? The hubris! It seems obvious to me that the gods of all religions are designed by human minds to be receptive to human interests, otherwise nobody would bother worshipping them. In other words, we have always been worshipping ourselves. At least there is reason to think that AI could, at least in theory, be what we expect God to be.
right but the "only in communion with God" part seems less supported than the general need for love in a community/ fulfillment. You have to do some leaps to get a universal loving god.
While I agree with the thrust against deification and idolatry - these characterizations border on naive and myopic:

"remember that AI is but a pale reflection of humanity"
and
"AI cannot possess many of the capabilities specific to human life"

We just don't know yet. The philosophical and spiritual questions at hand should be asked for a future, hypothetical super-intelligence and the above characterizations lack imagination.
Yes, and self driving cars are right around the corner!
That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Believing an ideology is scientifc or natural and that its principles are discovered rather than invented" is a very dangerous thing indeed. So-called scientific socialism* is an obvious example of that. You can see some of this kind of thinking on the opposite side as well, with people claiming that humans are naturally greedy and selfish to justify objectivism or free market absolutism.
“Bubble” is probably more apt.

I wanted to point out that this is specific to certain perspectives.

The perspective within the US government, where there continues to be a robust investment in a fully deployed system of OCSP Responders, repeaters and caching systems providing both OCSP AND CRLs is different.

This system has greater performance and greater security than an equivalent "CRL-only" type of system.

It is true that certain PKIs have negative economies around services, and have underinvested in the infrastructure they need to provide.

PKI standards in general were not written for the modern threat environment which includes grave privacy risks.

For forward deployed use-cases, and expeditionary forces, OCSP provides valuable tradeoffs in conjunction with CRLs, particularly when used to maximize each's benefit for particular use-cases.

Would be happy to discuss this with anyone
Agree with all of your RSS points. AT Proto are data rails, but they are more fancy and open rails; they are a superior primitive imho while also inherently preventing ecosystem closure that has happened with every social network previously. Consumption and discovery can be solved for, and I argue, generative AI has a role to play here. u/echelon and u/wild_egg have comments that touch on this in another thread:

> I expect for this kind of tech to have really novel use cases. For it to sit between me and the internet and remove the ads, nuke time wasting clickbait, and obliterate low-information irrelevant noise. For it to be my personal bodyguard that protects me from any and all forms of attention stealer. ... I want this to be tech to give birth to an anti-Google, anti-social media algo, anti-advertiser terminator from the future. Something that torpedoes the previous paradigm and that does it so quickly that the old purveyors can't adjust in time. [1]

> It's now my daily driver for web access. It monitors for content I'm interested in (that's how I found your comment), handles all my searches and feeds, can dynamically adapt its interface, and is working on integrations to submit content for me so that I don't have to leave that interface to write these replies. [2]

We can build and tailor the interface for both discovery and consumption of the data transiting the AT Proto rails. This could be a client on your device (what Apple Intelligence should be, exposing an API to other apps to perform this compute), this could be an agent that runs on your own PDS [3] and then provides a distilled feed for you based on what it learns about you through signal from your client that is not shared, and you would be able to share your customized discovery feed with others. Plug DeepSeek in for now (while keeping an eye towards drivers so you can plug any other LLM in and you're off the the races and the state of the art advances). In the book "The Internet Con", Cory Doctorow explains how to seize the means of computation, by forcing Silicon Valley to do the thing it fears most: interoperate. AT Proto and Gen AI allows, to an extent, to sidestep the adversarial interoperability needed to diminish Big Tech control of the digital social fabric. We are currently on a path towards seizing the means of computation and users controlling their experience and consumption. To me, this is the most exciting part of the work ahead.

You'd need differentiation between coherently patterned noises and a mechanism to pass them between generations. We've been watching dogs for more than 50,000 years, and nobody has ever been able to identify words, or even word-like meanings in the noises dogs make. Dogs don't have language - coherent patterned noises - or culture, outside of what humans carry forward through generations on dogs' behalf.

This isn't to say their vocalizations and body language don't have meaning - they have rich and varied meanings, and that's how experienced trainers and dog owners can observe and interpret dog behavior at a high level of competence. They're just not using language - meaningfully coherent words and grammars.

That's the whole point of the buttons - you can teach them to use words and simple rules of grammar, and get amazing interactions like Bunny talking about "night talk" dreams, or laughing at "play poop" fart situations, dogs planning their eat, walk, settle schedules, and so on. Buttons elevate the level of communication and relationship with the animal, and grants them agency that they otherwise wouldn't have.

As far as non-human language goes, there may be languages developed and learned by pods of whales, orcas, and dolphins. There could even be really old languages, passed down through oral traditions, and scientists are currently researching with AI to see if we can crack cetacean or delphinidae communication. It could also be they have sophisticated "vibes" based communication without highly specific assigned meanings to every vocalization like humans, or some mysterious mixture of unexpected features that's a little alien to the way we think. We know they have culture, and appear to have discrete words and grammar, so this research is really exciting.
I can see this being bad for OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic, for sure, or at least their current valuations, but I just don't understand why people think this is popping the AI bubble.

This makes a bad assumption that the state of the art is not progressing, that we have exhausted all ideas about how to make models better, that the only way to make models better is to throw more GPUs to it, that there won't be a significant market for actually running the LLMs, and most importantly, that we have somehow exhausted all of the applications for AI.

Even if Deepseek / Deepseek-equivalent models were the limit of what we can do with models, and AI and Anthropic completely busted, we still have ten years at least of developing the most effective applications of them and combining them with other tools to improve productivity.

This feels like some people are too high on it, and some people are overreacting.

I think there is both fad and substance to AI. Some investments in AI are bad ideas that won't work out and so are a waste. However AI is still useful some some activities and those investments will change the business. In short like every other time some part of AI became the fad and went mainstream.

This. “Natural selection” refers to selection and survivability of traits, not of individuals. Evolution is how that selection process then manifests itself over time in a population.
The cop out is perhaps the flawed conception that keeps one from looking: that archetypal plank.
>it essentially means the market for improvements disappears OR there’s legislation...

This is possibly true, though with billions already invested I'm not sure that OpenAI would just...stop absent legislation. And, there may be technical or other solutions beyond legislation. [0]

But, really, your comment here considers what might come next. OTOH, I was replying to your prior comment that seemed to imply that DeepSeek's achievement was of little consequence if they weren't improving on OpenAI's work. My reply was that simply approximating OpenAI's performance at much lower cost could still be extraordinarily consequential, if for no other reason than the challenges you subsequently outlined in this comment's parent.

[0] On that note, I'm not sure (and admittedly haven't yet researched) how DeepSeek just wholesale ingested ChatGPT's "output" to be used for its own model's training, so not sure what technical measures might be available to prevent this going forward.
It is easy for programmer-types to think that pixel counts are objective, simply because familiarity with units, or perhaps because pixels are discrete countable physical locations on a sensor.

An optical system composed of multiple lenses doesn't obviously correspond to a certain resolution, but the confusion is merely the literature taken at hand: instead of obsessively comparing smartphone advertisements, it is physically possible to read books and course notes on physics, optics, ...

There is nothing impossible about publishing spatial frequency responses etc, or legally mandating such information to be present on any advertising materials as soon as the MPixel counts are advertised.
Dolby Atmos is literally that, I think there are several physical formats that can support it.

Ambisonics, especially higher-order ambisonics, also is capable of spatial panning, though it encodes the 3D soundfield rather than individual sound sources. Again, there are a few physical formats.

Since it has capabilities that would be hard to replicate, rather than show the tool on the landing page, I would show the output. Remove the clutter and force people to listen to what the tool can produce.

The tool as it is now, is being marketed towards yourself, people that wanted to build that tool and know what it is. But everyone will know what it can do after listening to sample output.
If this is mainly useful for working with plain/uninterpreted byte arrays, then I wonder why we can't just do `[u8; N]::with_noinit()` method instead of doing the multi-line plus unsafe things listed in the article.

Is the main point that things like `slice_freeze_mut` could also be used for slices of e.g. `struct Coordinate { x: u32, y: u32, z: u32 }`?

It would obviously not work for f64 things, since there also not all bit-patterns are valid.
Very interesting! Did you write your own acoustic simulation engine for this?
I really like the thesis of this post: that there is a fundamental divide in tech that can be summarised as "the gamer" and the productivity-maxxing "nihilist". Here's how they describe gamers:

> In this sense, the gamer does not only include those who play video games (nor does it necessarily include all those who do). The gamer is a synecdoche; skateboarders, people who seriously play sports, interested music listeners, cinephiles, chess players, big wave surfers, and anyone else who orients their lives towards experiences that contain fun as a major ingredient are all subsumed into the persona. Casually playing a game on a subway or after a busy day to unwind doesn't by itself garner the gamer moniker, while taking paid vacation time to spend a focused 100 hours on Elden Ring does.

I think at the heart of tech, the pure hackers, and basically all great things come from these people. They are the people who take what they do seriously, and strive for perfection even where it is not utilitarian. It's how you avoid slop, and build great things...

To some extent I think the labels "gamer" and "nihilist" are overly generous. The divide is "people who love the tech" and "grifters". Creating video game is the least financially profitable venture for an expert software engineer, but (because of this) it is the most spiritually fulfilling. Every gamer knows the indie project made with love beats the billion dollar AAA project 9/10 times.

My counterpoint is I first worked for a computer company starting in the mid-80s (I had an earlier professional job but not in tech). If I were to be time travelled back to that role today, I'm sure I would be absolutely frustrated by the utter inability to get timely information about just about anything.
Fair, but note there is a significant subset of Rust-targeted programmers who dislike the compiler doing things like that. They also dislike the compiler doing things like auto-initializing every loop iteration, but two wrongs wouldn't make it right, just less wrong.

What Is CIDR
I don’t think centralization is the real threat. As James Currier [1] pointed out, AI will be commoditized through open-source and model convergence, making oligopoly control unlikely.

The real challenge is standardizing safety across open models and countering malignant AI use, especially amid demographic challenges like declining fertility.

The reason why most blogs are narrow is because blog templates are still from the 2000s in terms of how they show content on desktop . Traditionally the right hand third of the screen would display ads or a blog roll, while the left hand third would show the site's navigation .
