  • Sam Altman says OpenAI shares Anthropic's red lines in Pentagon fight

    Jump

  • I mean no, the article is literally saying that he claims the DoW agreed to all the same terms that Anthropic laid out. Which if true, would objectively not be selling out. But yes, something isn't adding up.

  • An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification

    Jump

  • Doesn't even make sense. Virtually all Linux distros can function completely offline. How do you do age verification completely offline? Classic politician who doesn't understand tech trying to look like they're doing something to save the kids.

  • Hillary Clinton urges Congress to question Trump under oath over ‘tens of thousands’ Epstein file mentions

    Jump

  • Yes, once more. And once more after that. Never stop pushing back in every way possible, because that's the only option we have.

  • The things media outlets will come up with to not say "fascist"...

  • Sure. In a year.

  • How Covid Quietly Rewires the Brain | Researchers keep discovering more about the long-term neurological effects of SARS-CoV-2.

    Jump

  • I also got it back in early 2020 when doctors still said, "it can't be covid, you haven't been to china". Now I have the same thing happen as you describe, but I legit don't know if it's covid or just getting older. I remember my dad always used to do the same thing when I was a kid, calling things by approximately, but not quite exactly the right term. We always thought it was funny, how his memory could be so close yet so far like that. Now it happens to me all the time. Names of restaurants, actors, random words.

    One up side of LLMs is they're actually pretty decent at figuring out the word I'm thinking of from the description I can manage. The other day I was trying to remember the word "ambitious", and searched Google for "word that starts with A that means biting off more than you can chew". The normal results didn't have it, so I tried AI assist and it got it immediately. Also, in trying to recall this story, I forgot the word again and had to do the exact same exercise :/

    I kinda hope it's not long term covid and just normal getting older shit...

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy

  • "Busted" implying anything will happen to them.

  • Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'

    Jump

  • Damn....any good forks of bcache yet?

  • Trump team weighs order to force banks to make sure customers are citizens to keep or create accounts

    Jump

  • If your bank is legally required to unilaterally take your wealth from you at the whim of Trump, everyone with wealth will put it elsewhere. Historically, bank runs are much harder to stop than start.

    The same concern looms over govts threatening to sieze accounts that belong to the Kremlin over Ukraine. If anyone does it, they are implicitly signaling to their other clients that their funds are not safe from political strife.

  • TIL taking a multivitamin daily increases mortality risk by 4%

    Jump

  • No, candy.

  • TIL taking a multivitamin daily increases mortality risk by 4%

    Jump

  • Yes, absolutely. You'd be dead in a month from various overdoses.

    Edit: this was actually covered in a recent Ask Hank Anything. (Specifically the last question about what the healthiest candy would be to live on).

  • Trump illegally used executive power to impose global tariffs, supreme court rules

    Jump

  • I feel like you're implying they're too scared to. But the republicans who won't impeach him are in on it. They are all openly willing to ignore the constitution to remake the country in their image. That was what Project 2025 was all about, and that's the plan they're sticking with. Making peaceful revolution impossible is part of their strategy.

  • What are some of your favorite songs in a language you do not speak?

    Jump

  • Yeah, my first thought was Kveikur. Such a vibe.

  • Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.

    Jump

  • They're mostly not AI specialized, though. That's why they're so inefficient and why their demand contends with consumer hardware in the first place. Which makes sense, because AI is still in rapid development. They don't know what the right answer is yet, but they know they need a bunch of fast memory and parallel processing.

    The AI specific hardware being added to GPUs is still pretty general. CUDA cores are just parallel compute. Tensor cores are for doing parallel compute with fewer bits of precision. Yes, there are niche applications for fp16 and lower, but rendering is one of those applications.

    We also need to accept that this isn't the crypto bubble, this is the dotcom bubble. Like it or not, there is a real advancement in technology happening here, and it's not going away. The bubble will pop because there's far more money being invested per unit time than can be returned as profit per unit time, not because the tech is a farce. Yes, 99% of AI applications right now are a farce, but that 1% are giving us actual useful abilities we simply didn't have before. Point being: our world after the bubble pops will still make use of AI, so any hardware over-production will still be useful to the general public for AI applications.

  • Someone Just Made an Immutable Gentoo-Based Distro Tailored for Gaming

    Jump

  • I agree. But you see how that's beside the point, right?

  • Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.

    Jump

  • The big problem is that nobody thinks about those people that don't have the hardware right now.

    Literally yes they do, because even though they don't have the latest and greatest hardware, they have some money to spend. That's the argument being made: until now the assumption was that new hardware would get cheaper over time, and people would gradually move to new hardware. Devs spend years making games, and historically bank on that assumption so that when the game comes out, it has the largest audience available to purchase it.

    The fact that it looks like that won't be the case in the near future means devs have to shift their behavior to accommodate what their playerbase has, i.e. continue developing and optimizing the same hardware.

    That said, this is all temporary. Whether they widen the pipeline, or the AI bubble bursts, in 2-3 years there will be a deluge of hardware hitting markets. (Provided trade/actual wars don't get in the way, which is the bigger concern imo).

  • Illinois governor proposes cancelling tax breaks for data centers

    Jump

  • I agree, it's no coincidence that a guy from a billionaire family is in power, but if you look at his record, and the things he says, I do believe he is using his platform for good. Trying to turn people on him in this political climate is exactly the kinda shit that causes the left to never get anything done.

  • Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts

    Jump

  • TBH, probably pissed, but the media and botfarms that were amping their nonsense before don't want to now. So we're not hearing them. That's why Trump is so desperate to meddle with midterms, he knows that in a fair election he's fucked. He is absurdly unpopular.

    But never forget Trump's buddy Thiel's thoughts about that. They fully plan on making peaceful revolution impossible...
