Thanks!


I just read that document and, I'm sorry but there's no way it's written in good faith. You support open weights, as long as they pass impossible tests that no open weights models could pass. I hope you are unsuccessful in stopping open weights from proliferating.


Seat belts may seem useless too if you've never been in an accident.


If you read this article and it gave you pleasure, examine those feelings. I find the generally schadenfreudic reaction to be disgusting. These people just wanted to get together to talk about something they enjoy and you don't.


It's a wonder that there isn't more sympathy for a group of people who say "have fun staying poor" so often they started using an acronym for it.


I think it's funny to see smug people lose money but I don't think it's funny if they are seriously injured and possibly permanently disabled.


it's a fixation on the extremes, no?

the people making jokes like "I'm surprised everyone wasn't wearing sunglasses already, their future is so bright" (ok, it was me, right now) are those who had witnessed some form of the extreme cryptobro asserting anyone not on board is mentally disabled.

i'd assert there's nothing unhealthy or immoral about laughing at the poetry of the stereotypical actor doing a sterotypical action and it paralleling the generalization regarding the trope of the failures of NFTs: "a declared cool reality shifter, but potentially harmless fad meeting physical reality with a literally harmful event."

sociopathic, of course, but to those not considering internet based social media "society" it's in containment


Shouldn't they have double sympathy though. First, for being idiots and second for getting eye damage?


If you read this article and immediately wanted to admonish others for what you imagine their reactions to be, examine those feelings.


HN1: "Let people enjoy whatever they enjoy"

HN2-100: <Enjoys the disastrous hubris when people who oppose regulation discover how unsafe life is without rules which prevent unsafe behaviour>

HN1: "Not like that"


The "regulations" resulted in them going to a party and nearly losing their eyesight. It was implied safe, and it wasn't. How is this not absolutely validating to the entire ethos of strawman you are trying to burn here?


I think this game is one of the best pieces of storytelling ever created, and it's so weird and arthouse that I can hardly believe there's an audience for it.


Whenever I think of Quora, I think of their giant party in SF around a decade ago, which stands out in my mind as the height of that era of tech.


That reminds me of the Palantir Xmas party (2011), at some huge museum in Golden Gate Park (de Young or Asian Art, I forget :)


Meanwhile, the other rumor is that Nvidia stopped production on RTX 40 series in order to shift all manufacturing towards ML chips like H100. Seems like they're both in an all-out sprint to produce as many H100 and MI300X as possible. Which makes total sense to me.


I believe RTX 4090 (~$1600) is the same raw die as RTX 6000 Ada (~$10,000). Hell of a business, if you can get into it.



True (and it's ECC to boot), but the extra RAM isn't that expensive (I'd WAG $500 at a stretch, based on an extra 8GB on 4060 Ti retailing for $100 more), and is also arguably the biggest mechanism of market segmentation between the two products.


No, do not do this. Use Matrix, or...anything else really. I tried building on top of IRC a decade ago and it was a more forgivable mistake back then, but a mistake nonetheless.


Yeah, for things like realtime voice calls as Revolt offers, there's no point in trying to bolt on to IRC.

You can (ab)use IRC as a generic datastore, the same way you can Twitter, SMS, or anything else that allows for data to be stored, but it's a terrible idea, and you'll end up with something overly complicated and without any sort of compatibility with generic IRC clients.

And honestly, complaining about Electron apps is just lazy. It may not be the choice you make when you have unlimited resources and time to write separate native applications for every platform, but it's perfectly accessible for a first iteration. Also a great way to make sure all your platforms can have roughly the same behavior. Would much rather have an Electron Linux app (which is easy to port and costs little to maintain) than no client at all.


Yeah, you would use XMPP for this kinda thing.


I would also check out their 3B model. I tested it on launch with LoRA fine-tuning and found it to be surprisingly capable despite its size. I think a lot of people are skipping past testing it because it only has 3B params.
