- wincyIt was nice to get the WSJ gift link from this blog post though.
- Isn’t that mostly economics? I definitely prefer using Claude to GPT-OSS120B for a code assistant.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have $500,000 laying around to buy myself a DGX B200 with a TB of HBM and 2TB of system ram, nor the 14.3kW of power to run the thing.
- They definitely do it some, like Starfield came out with FSR out of the box but they didn’t add DLSS for several months. I got Starfield for free when I bought my 7800X3D which was a nice bonus. Definitely to a lesser degree than Nvidia though.
- I’ve turned on no procrast mode and set it to ten minutes per hour. Helped me a lot!
- So seems like this is one of those “Giant slow moving megacorp bankrolls a small nimble hyper focused organization to innovate” type things?
Calling it MAI and the soft pastel color is certainly a choice.
- I was agreeing with you on all accounts but seriously doubt they’ll be open source. I think the average person will barely clock this as mattering, and will pay up. The market has shown time and again that consumers prefer highly integrated environments that work seamlessly vs open source, especially for hardware.
I also agree it’d be worth more to me than my car, and I’d hope much like modern cars such an expensive consumer purchase will end up with similar warranty protections and eventually a third party market for replacement parts.
Much like cars, I’m guessing it’ll be a better idea to go with a large company that’ll be able to honor that warranty without being financially ruined. The first few generations will see lots of experimentation and thus be more risky for the consumer before the market settles out with a few big winners (as is often the case).
- Cursor Plan mode works like this. It restricts the LLMs access to your environment and will allow you to iteratively ask and clarify and it’ll piece together a plan that it allows you to review before it takes any action.
ChatGPT deep research does this but it’s weird and forced because it asks one series of questions and then goes off to the races, spending a half hour or more building a report. It’s frustrating if you don’t know what to expect and my wife got really mad the first time she wasted a deep research request asking it “can you answer multiple series of questions?” Or some other functionality clarifying question.
I’ve found Crusor’s plan mode extremely useful, similar to having a conversation with a junior or offshore team member who is eager to get to work but not TOO eager. These tools are extremely useful we just need to get the guard rails and user experience correct.
- You’d just run every picture through CLIP, essentially you run an image generator backwards. Instead of text to image like most end users use when using something like stable diffusion (been awhile since I’ve done this), it can do the exact opposite and generate tokens (just words in this case) to describe the input image.
I’d guess famous characters like Bart and Marge and other Simpsons characters would likely be known by the tokenizer so it’d be pretty easy. So then you’d be able to guess.
Feel free to correct me on small details if anyone has this more fresh in their mind but I’m roughly correct here.
- Right reading that, didn’t Sony produce KPOP demon hunters, which is now the most watched movie of all time?
- They definitely are working on it. They announced the steam machine, steam controller, and the valve frame (standalone vr headset with seamless screen sharing from a PC), and in their reveal video the first thing they rather coyly say is “we’d love to share information about our next Steam deck, but that’s for another day!” and announce a bunch of other cool stuff.
- For awhile googling “Swift” was like that with Taylor Swift results instead of the programming language.
- By “directs to remote” does it mean the TV remote? I feel like I’m missing something here, it’s just saying “use the smart tv’s built in app”? Directing someone to the remote seems like an overcomplicated way of indicating this?
I’m so glad we use plex, have thought of making the jump to jellyfin though. I tried to use my MacBook Air to watch their excellent Michelin Stars show, but couldn’t watch it on 2/3 of my monitors because they don’t have HDCP built in. Modern disk drives are so cheap you can just download everything in 4K HDR, paired with an OLED display it’s absolutely breathtaking how good modern media can look.
So anyway, with the Michelin show I just downloaded it off a torrent site instead, which is a hilariously easier user experience and it’s caused by the very HDCP that is supposed to prevent piracy.
- Seconding this, I work as a SWE for a large construction company, while the IT department is small considering the large scope of the company as a whole, but we’ve been extremely busy. Construction is absolutely booming.
- Whew thank goodness I was already exposed to that once and am, like other plagues, thus inoculated.
- My friend’s son was four and had to have it explicitly explained to him that men can be scientists, too! Based on all the books he’d been read and other media, he assumed only women were scientists.
- I mean sometimes. For me it was multivariate for sure. Biggest problem - wife and kid. Helped a ton. My specific wife, really. I doubt someone else would have helped me. I had a lot of self defeating thought patterns she helped me fix.
Second - light. Lots of light, specifically in winter time. Like this https://www.benkuhn.net/lux/
I had a horrible time with school because as finals rolled around in the fall semester I’d get extremely depressed and anxious.
- I remember what got me to reinstall Windows after running Ubuntu for a week or two several years ago was they switched from Xorg to Wayland and I literally couldn’t watch movies because they switched over without Wayland supporting this?
It was absolutely bonkers to me and soured me from Linux for years.
I’ve administered thousands of Linux boxes but it’s a totally different ball game.
- Stack overflow was wrong then somehow ChatGPT knew what I was talking about when trying to set a dotnet environment variable in azure for an array in an app service. It has to be foo__0 not foo:0 so I broke production in a very nonobvious day for a day. At some point the foo__0 gets transliterated into foo:0 apparently?
The absolute worst location for this was, of course, the Azure or dotnet documentation sites. Cmon Microsoft you make both of these products surely this is a huge use case for your customers?
- I did notice that, I thought maybe I’d exceeded my thinking requests
- It’s a very cool picture. Andrew McCarthy sells prints of these and other astrophotography on his website[0] although they’re always limited run prints. I bought the one of the sun with a SpaceX rocket for a friend who is into astronomy.
As a sales strategy, making his photos limited edition is a fantastic way to put the pressure on to actually buy instead of thinking about making a purchase indefinitely, even if from a convenience standpoint it’s a little annoying. Looks like right now the 16”x20” edition is sold out, but other sizes are still available for about two days.
