Havoc

Yeah they’re crazy. Big space very nice. Two staff. Heated space (with open door).

…we were the only customer there. There is no way in hell there isn’t something dodgy afoot. Would be surprised if they have 50 bucks of legitimate revenue a day

It's mostly not competitive by virtue of being old, but for specific use cases it still stomps the latest Gen5 nvme drives. Specifically on things that need low latency and fast QD1 performance.

Think metadata in a ZFS array or database writes.

Also crazy endurance - often an order of magnitude beyond even enterprise nvmes.

...and because the things are basically un-killable thanks to endurance you can safely pick up 2nd hand used ones.

So they're a neat trick if used in precisely the right application. Hence:

>some fraction of technologists

>would've been awesome if only Intel hadn't killed it.

Maybe - it would presumably have improved further for niche cases, but doubt it would have conquered mainstream markets.

This is false.

eg Gemini enterprise has a note under each chat session explicitly saying it’s not used to improve the models

I wouldn’t count on that staying that way

Continually amazed by how enthusiastic people are about getting the head bashed

You can’t have a unicorn valuation built on a simple offline client.

This is basically standard SV play book - first step is „fix“ it to have a cloud component/account. Then store some of the data in cloud only - say for example for team sharing or a „workspace“. Then make some features paid only. Then ramp up the enshitification till metrics show it’s saturated and users will bear no more

If even half of that is true then they’re cooked

In short sound logical argument absolutely zero sense of optics or relatability

Can certainly be framed that way. And the second the returns wobble it will be.

That‘s hn for you. Bubble of engineers smart everyone else stupid & overhead

> But the goal posts will move

On both frontiers and open. And lately the gap has been closing so if anything yeeting Anthropic etc is getting more viable over time

Neat. This seems like exactly the sort of thing Europe should be pushing

This also comes in translucent type - basically looks like fishing line so very close to actually invisible. When it's against a wall you can't see it unless you've got a flashlight and are centimeters away.

And it'll carry 10gig just fine.

Good stuff even though it's a bit of a pain to route it along a path that makes sense, has the right bend radius & doesn't get squished by doors etc.

Currently trying to decide whether to do the same for other rooms.

Isn't oracle already quite top heavy on debt?

Not so long ago everyone was amazed that they could read BASE64.

This is giving singularity is near vibes.

Congrats on your inferior TV viewing experience. Hopefully the viewing angle still works despite the high horse perspective...

Unfortunately those are also a step behind cutting edge.

I’d rather buy a smart TV, never connect it to the internet than trade down on specs

2026 TCL I just bought seems to work fine without internet

The most shitest shithouse is clearly white and has a orange gremlin in it

The fact that you point to the latest model as „I’d be fine with that“ proves my point.

If expectations were static you’d be fine with qwen 2.5…but nobody sane says that today.

It’s a moving target thus we need open weights to move

>everything tagged as 'uncensored' or 'abliterated' will get wiped from huggingface at some point in the future.

Unlikely given how trivial it is to DIY this (I think...haven't myself but from afar it seems within avg hn crowd reach)

>The nice thing is that current local modes don't go away.

Given pace of advance I'm not convinced this is a winning strategy. The models of today (open or not) are way smarter than those of a year ago.

...so we really do need open models to keep pace, not just be statically competitive at a given point in time

The bonsai quants are not that awesome. Yeah they're fast and they retain the "27B" but in practice the perform similarly

5GB of bonsai weights end up being similar to 5GB of QAT weights even when one is derived from a 27B and the other from an 8B

> poem confirmed success:

What a load of horseshit. A model running on a ESP32 running off a questionable powerbank supply with dodgy coding and worse storage reliability can do that.

The only thing anyone cares about is whether the (economic)math works on put AI in space.

This feels like Cisco paid for the article

I bet it helps that Factorio attracts exactly the kind of obsessive players that'll leave a digital trail of training data documented in precise detail

Bit like warthunder guys can't help but leak classified info

This is why we need open AI (not OpenAI). Some duopoly deciding what goes on a whim is not acceptable

I can sorta see them suppressing instructions for say bioweapons (that seems fair to me), but this demonstrates that they'll bend for corporate interests.

>some of the criticism hurts me because it described a company I don't recognize

Haven't really done much research, but this resonates - the vibes on these recent news reports felt very off.

It felt engineered frankly, which makes me quite suspicious in a world where everyone seems to be pushing for encryption backdoors. The one email provider famous for strong encryption suddenly gets a broad PR across entire media landscape?

...zero evidence but the whole thing just feels off AF

Yeah I sorta get it, but like idk put something like "End child hunger" on it or something...

How uncreative.

Nothing against porn, but given a platform that's what you pick to blast into the world?
