The value of uuid is the lack of coordination. “…integers in sequence…” requires quite a bit of coordination if you have more than one computer ;)

All evidence is that the final training runs across thousands to low tens of thousands of GPU, and that a single instance of the resulting model runs (or could run) well within a rack (ie NVL72). The …

Why did we start saying EDS this week, just in time for the IPO?

How would it know it’s really there, and not just a tool input/output injected into its input?

Trying to buy a single barrel of oil <> getting assigned on a futures contract. An assigned long isn't getting a physical barrel either, they're transferring into a pipeline/stor…

Your guess would be wrong. If you’re trading physically settled commodity futures, and don’t close before the settlement date, you are now the owner of a large quantity of your commodity of choice. It…

There are cash settled futures there are closer to options in that they’re purely financial, but even those don’t have optionality at maturity. Generally a dangerous thing to have as synonyms regardle…

No, the price of a contract for future delivery to a specific location went negative just before the delivery date, at a time when there was almost no unoccupied oil storage nor transport capacity at …

Time is a relatively good proxy for spend. There are also more ex post diagnostics like count and cost it can write to the status line. I agree that ex ante it’s tough, and they could benefit from so…

If you need the tokens for real work, that’s what the API and the other providers like Bedrock are for. The subscription product is merely to whet your appetite.

No one is going to like this answer, but there’s a simple solution: pay for API tokens and adjust your use of CC so that the actions you have it take are worth the cost of the tokens. It’s great to bu…

Sheets and Numbers are spreadsheets. Excel is an application platform and programming language that’s convinced people it’s just a spreadsheet.

Basic quantization is easy if you have enough RAM (not VRAM) to load the weights.

Per TFA C++ is a purely functional, interpreted language. Should be trivial to embed into?

I mean there's lots of room at the bottom. but part of the reason LLM slop seems to me so objectionable is its sameness; it's obviously drawn from the same thin manifold of the language. A…

The relative value of those things are shifting. As the cost of polished LLM drivel falls to zero, some might prefer even the most unedited, off-the-cuff human writing to the slop.

No one is asking that we reject all prose with emdash. Not all emdash-users are LLMs, but many LLMs are profligate emdash-users, so adjust your priors accordingly. Secondarily, I think there's a…
