- Anyone know the tokens/sec for llm inference?
- How about Nvidia, they have both good hardware/software.
- For those who wondered what gravity had to do with this:
- This is my thought, sure a lot of VCs will lose a lot of money as they write things off.
But it's not like people are going to throw out all the Nvidia hardware they bought.
And there are ai applications that I can think of that would be viable at 100x cheaper price.
- So, on the plus side, assuming that the absurd aspects get ironed out, couldn't this be a good thing.
Businesses that rely on open source software will either have to accept liability for defects, or contract out to a third party who accepts liability.
That seems like it might encourage open-source business models that encourage selling support, even just for the liability protection.
Or am I being too hopeful?
- In addition to what others have said, Often from a network perspective you want smaller range.
At the end of the day, there is a total speed limit of Mb/s/Hz.
For example, in cities, with a high population density, you could theoretically have a single cell tower providing data for everyone.
However, the speed would be slow, as for a given bandwidth six the data is shared between everyone in the city.
Alternatively, one could have 100 towers, and then the data would only have to be shared by those within range. But for this to work, one of the design constraints is that a smaller range is beneficial, so that multiple towers do not interfere with each other.
- Ah, I was curious if o1 is running code in background and doing an error loop.
- What language?
- The security risk comes from all those unvetted plugins, that have unrestricted access to the editor.
- I personally thought that student loan forgiveness was unconstitutional.
That being said, alot of the actions of the current admin are designed to push the boarders of executive power. They are trying to move fast and break things and do an end run around congressional oversight, before the courts can catch up.
The example of this is USaid, which was probably not legal in the method they went about. But no one will be putting that egg back together.
Contrast this to when Biden did his student loan forgiveness, it was telegraphed for months, and a court immediately blocked it pending review. And most importantly it was a single action.
All that being said, both are bad, my overall point is that we as Americans deserve better, and 'but they did it first' is not a valid excuse.
My hope is that we finally start reducing the power of the executive branch. The past 100 years of congress abdicating it's responsibility has been too much.
- I like the analogy, additionally, it seems like just 'stopping coming to work' is something that you could be fired for cause for. So if it comes up later that hey, this person has not been working due to a agreement that the government had no right to agree to.
Well we'll be nice and just fire them, won't even ask for salary to be returned.
- The counterpoint from what I have been reading is that the Dems will not be helping without concessions, particularly about oversite regarding Elon musk, and doge.
- If they were serious about the offer, they would get it passed through Congress on a party line vote via reconciliation, they have the votes, there is nothing the Dems could do to stop it.
The fact that they have not is telling.
- I am moving my money out of the US stock market. Maybe most people don't care, but I want to live and invest in a functional democracy.
If enough people do it, maybe MAGA 401ks going down will make people care.
- I am moving all of my assets to cash. Maybe no one else cares, but I do, and I would rather invest in a functional democracy.
Never know, if enough people divest , people might give a shit.
But I'm not holding my breath.
- So I am moving all my money to cash, I would rather not invest in a fascist state.
- I am withdrawing my money from the US stock market. Other people might not give a shit, but I want to invest my money in a functional democracy.
- I mark when they changed their motto as the turning point.
- So to me this seems like an issue, set aside the constitutional/legal issues.
It sounds like, from the reporting, one person is modifying a large complex system that handles trillions of dollars and pushing directly to production.
Also he is not familiar with the system, having first encountered it a week ago.
Also the people who do normally have access to this system do not know what he is exactly doing, because normally, it is illegal for them to even access the system in the same way.
- Yes, but the fact that it is even a question is absurd.
I guess my thought is that you have a boss that told you to touch a computer system, normally only a few people touch it, because of you make a mistake, your company looses 100 billion dollars.
You make pretty sure that whoever is dealing with that system are experts, you make sure that they do not modify it without following procedures, you double/triple check that their change won't have side affects, you then run the changes on a test system just to make sure.
And yeah, you are only adding a print statement, it should be fine...
But what if it's not.
Move fast and break things is fine if worst case scenario your social media site goes down.
Move fast and break things is less fine when you could fuck up a key piece of financial infrastructure.
I don't have evidence of anything, no one does. We don't have evidence that there won't be any mistakes either.
In the past we could expect reliability, because the system was always reliable, within the processes and systems that people implemented around it.
It seems to me that a lot of those processes have been skipped.
- How about money in the financial system. What would happen if someone makes a mistake, and something causes bond payments to fail?
It is an outside risk, but based on the reporting it seems like they are digging into code of large complex financial systems...
How much do you trust 1 guy to not make _any_ mistakes.
Maybe this is wrong and they are only looking at read only access of the payment system, but it seems sketchy that this is even a risk.
- Or a proposal/feedback process. Ala you are hired by non technical person to build something, you generate requirements and a proposed solution. You then propose that solution, they give feedback.
Having a feedback loop is the only way viable for this. Sure, the client could give you a book on what they want, but often people do not know their edge cases, what issues may arise/etc.
- My impression was that most opposition to the jones act was that it has not really worked, and as a side effect drastically reduced the intra-us shipping industry.
Without the jones act, we would not have a ship building boom, but we probably would have more intra-US shipping via ship/rivers/etc.
- The counter to this is that it might make more sense for China to _not_ attack the United States with the anticipation that they sit it out. China attacking US forces/ naval bases makes it much harder for a president to sit back and say not our problem/ focus on economic sanctions.
Imagine if Russia started the invasion of Ukraine by bombing polish railways, so that the Ukrainians would not be able to get supplies/resources from the EU. I would think that the EU/Nato response to that would be much more severe than what happened in reality.
While Guam might be considered different, as most Americans cannot place it on a map and it is on the other side of the world, seeing caskets of all the US troops dying makes it pretty hard to politically shrug off as not our problem.
I might have missed it in their writeup.
