Whiteboard questions are great, if the question is like two orders of magnitude simpler than the day to day. At that point you’re answering “has this person seen a computer before, and are they able t…

> behind the scenes here? Two giant companies, trying to fuck each other as hard as possible, while not violating the law so egregiously they are made to stop. Healthcare is an incidental byproduc…

> study quality And even more specifically, quality of studies (re)published by a single journal, albeit an important one.

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking about the work on the open source GPU driver. AFAIK Apple contributed the MPS backend for pytorch and tensorflow-metal PluggableDevice.

This is why I love this place

Tesla-semi-as-pony-express would be interesting, but isn't really compatible with _selling_ the actual truck as a product; no one wants to swap _their_ truck with someone else's, except the …

Keep in mind even the battery in a Model S is half a ton, and integrated into the frame of the car...

Build a CLI / complex task as part of your project, then invoke it via make. This pattern is much more about documenting and composing steps than implementing them

Turns out software is for humans, mostly :)

Even the most extreme Apple position isn’t trying to take 30% of all of Spotifys revenue, they’re trying to take 30% of each subscription originated on-device, for the first year of that customer. Whi…

Unless these retail stores are letting their employees profile customers, and refuse to unlock the cases for undesirables, I fail to see how these are any real deterrent to shoplifting. Just ask to u…

Not Mistral, for anyone else that reads the comments first.

This is speculative decoding with a n-gram Markov chain instead of a weaker transformer model in the “speculating” position.

This seems akin to running secret-shopper research against competitors. Amazon sells a marketplace (among other things), makes sense to go see what it's like to transact with other marketplaces.

very happy my first step with any model with big claims is 'huggingface-cli donwload ...'

I mean it's not that hard to eliminate all other traffic on a closed network like that, at least where there's millions of dollars at stake. Must be nice to open Wireshark and see _nothing_.…

I like the assumption that NYSE would just grab some EC2 instances and run an exchange on them, and that AMZN wouldn't bend several directions at once to deliver new products that just happen to …

Substack was basically marketed as Blog-(ok, ok, 'newsletter')-with-paid-membership-as-service?

I won’t contest laoganma, but I’m pretty sure Chang still maintains ownership, and Mariscal is just the CEO?

Real question: is something like aerial photography of your roof really subject to privacy laws?

That just seems like an irrational amount of energy to spend on 1-3%. I guess you’d get a lot of payments nerds?

Exactly. Go to an artist’s studio. Look at all the sketches, the rack of canvases in the corner, the detritus of creation all around. Software, and product development in general, is ultimately a cre…

That's my read. And he's totally right! Plugins/GPTs aren't a good platform or product, partly for some of the technical reasons he mentioned, but really because they're basi…

Your logic being that Claude-as-code-gen competes with a putative future Code Interpreter-like product on Anthropic? That seems like a wild over-reading of the term. You're prevented from 'd…

Reminder that OpenAI's terms are much more reasonable: > (e) use Output (as defined below) to develop any artificial intelligence models that compete with our products and services. However, y…

But based on other comments, it sounds like they're not actually charging before sending the car out again, so $15 is just a pure gouge, with no relation to the actual cost of charging

Nevermind the total absence of an attempt to control for quality, or, y'know, that the human goes on breathing after she finishes drawing, there are some real problems here 1. the human CO2e take…
