CXMT has ddr5 manufacturing capabilities but it will be years before they scale it, and they’re embargoed by the US, so nobody on good terms with the US can get it.

And yes, they would also sell to the enterprise customers, but it would lower prices overall.

They’ve been doing it since the start. OAI was fear mongering about how dangerous gpt2 was initially as an excuse to avoid releasing the weights, while simultaneously working on much larger models with the intent to commercialize. The whole “our model is so good even we’re scared of it” shtick has always been marketing or an excuse to keep secrets.

Even now they continue to use this tactic while actively suppressing their own research showing real social, environmental and economic harms.

Religion is just the excuse used to do bad things. Without religion the ones doing the bad things will find a new excuse.

This is fairly harmless compared to the government trolls. Pretty much every Canada related subreddit has been dealing with a slurry of xenophobic posts from brand new accounts with hidden post history. The better subreddits quickly ban or lock them but several let them go as they reinforce the moderator’s own worldview. Not even the Costco Canada subreddit is safe.

It has to be tailored to the specific hardware so I don’t think it’s a major concern for most users. It doesn’t seem like something that can be fully mitigated either, so it’s probably not worth worrying about. Side channel attacks are really cool but also kind of useless in most practical scenarios.

The only advantage of teams is that it’s bundled with other Microsoft software. It’s worse than slack in every way. It’s a textbook example of a monopoly.

Perplexity (an “AI search engine” company with 500 million in funding) can’t bypass cloudflare’s anti-bot checks. For each search Perplexity scrapes the top results and summarizes them for the user. Cloudflare intentionally blocks perplexity’s scrapers because they ignore robots.txt and mimic real users to get around cloudflare’s blocking features. Perplexity argues that their scraping is acceptable because it’s user initiated.

Personally I think cloudflare is in the right here. The scraped sites get 0 revenue from Perplexity searches (unless the user decides to go through the sources section and click the links) and Perplexity’s scraping is unnecessarily traffic intensive since they don’t cache the scraped data.

They’ve been saying this for the last 2 years

They get a new feature to boast about

“Free market” fans when free market

The speed of many machine learning models is bound by the speed of the memory they’re loaded on so that’s probably the biggest one.

Senators don’t have that kind of power. The constitution’s fatal flaw is that it designates the legislative branch to make the laws and the judicial to interpret them, but left both reliant on the executive branch the enforce them. He could certainly try to bring Garcia back but without the executive branch on his side he’d likely get stuck there himself.

This will be the subprime mortgage crisis of the 2020s.

He didn’t actually say this, he said that the vaccination immunity doesn’t last a lifetime and doesn’t get passed from the mother, which increases the risk to the very young and elderly. He very explicitly encouraged people to get vaccinated.

I don’t like him but in this particular case he hasn’t said anything wrong. My only problem with what he said is the way he weighed the potential side effects of the vaccine and measles as if they’re even remotely comparable.

Articles like these act as noise which drowns out the much larger issues in the administration.

Tech bros have ruined the prestige of a lot of titles. Software “Engineer”, Systems “Architect”, Data “Scientist”, Computer “Wizard”, etc.

Fragmenration is not preferred by most users and many of the services and systems these two run require large international teams. That’s not to say that they don’t need to be checked by antitrust.
