Or else a player too big to be blocked moves into the space with a service that provides some/all of the privacy benefits, but declines to offer the other undesirable aspects of VPN (e.g. locatio…

CLIs are great for some applications! But 'progressive disclosure' means more mistakes to be corrected and more round trips to the model - every time[1] you use the tool in a new thread. Yo…

Activation energy of a letter vs. an email. If you have to handwrite it and it takes ~days to arrive, you write fewer communiques and put more into the ones you do, but a lot goes unsaid. You see it s…

??? I do dishes with an MBP next to the sink. I wouldn't put it under the faucet, but it's ~fine so far.

We need David Macaulay to add a book on corporate structures to his repertoire. Any organization operating at anywhere close to household-name scale is a collection of cooperating legal entities.

When did you sign up for OpenAI? They been requiring a phone sign the very first betas

don’t pretend any crises isn’t going to be 100% self-inflicted. We’re on the cusp of what, having a larger, younger workforce? But they might not speak English as well as you’d like so we need autonom…

They want to make sure the whole Diversity of our armed forces (soldiers, sailors, marines, …) feel an Equitable and Inclusive share of the mention.

If your materials are coming from a _store_, you probably shouldn't be paying an interior designer.

While it’s got some clear LLM patterns, the content seems novel enough to be worth the squeeze. That or I’m far enough outside of my Gell-Mann amnesia bubble that I can’t see the slop

Conversely it’s equity for an in-kind investment. Dave Choe taking the Facebook shares writ large.

This cynicism is the surest way to doom it

Interesting. I model interior architecture as "here's $xxxK, make it nice" and they do a bunch of work to figure out what you mean by nice, and a bunch more work to codify your definit…

Part of the job of interior design is delivering the promised images in … yknow, physical reality? How are you going from nano banana images to actual plans, materials, finishes, products, paint codes…

This is worth the (re)watch every time it comes up.

Why is everyone surprised, these subscriptions are basically toys. You pay so much, and you get about that much in inference compute, more if you’re lucky / early. If you want to real use these t…

It’d fit in a comment, but not a flippant one ;)

Yeah it’s not too bad, but it does pull away from “so trivial it fits in a flippant HN comment”

Cerebras has been serving their own inference users for sometime. Not unreasonable to deploy a turnkey product as-is to start a partnership and then iterate from there?
comment
> Given that Cerebras offers models much larger than 40B at faster speeds This fact really should have given the author pause. It’s hard to take his any of his claims seriously in its face.

I can only hope that Cerebras is able to keep their first party inference product going. It’s incredible to run a strong model at interactive latencies for whole results. Routinely less than seconds …
