That gives you a false sense of precision. I had a bad experience with an old one. 100% would not buy the old mercury tech over anything else "smart" or not available today

Someone has to write 'The law', and we need to prioritize politicians that do (instead of those that are trying to get views on social media by getting quips/gotcha moments).

They might've not regressed, but those things were bad UX.

Those things are really hard to control, and no scheduling, no remote control, no sensors, etc.

nice, how do you plan to secure it?

The article never defines GDR, but I looked it up in case you were also unfamiliar:

The German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany, was a socialist state in Central Europe that existed from October 7, 1949, to October 3, 1990

What does it mean to run a model 24 hours a day?

Aren't we way way past that already? QPS to any of the frontier models for a given point in time is most likely (far) greater than zero.

Probably worth not getting too comfortable. It's only a matter of time before a new generation of product people can do this. Also, I have said this before, instead of 1 product person and 10 engineers on a team, you may have 2-3 product+eng people and 3 engineers, etc.

There are a lot of assumptions there that are not verified.

This is extremely simplified, and not realistic. One counter to this is markowitz portfolio theory, or "diversification effect".

> The "let's make money by selling/renting out TPUs" faction has won and the "let's make money by training and selling a frontier model" faction has lost.

Citation needed.

also, why can't a massive company do two things?

Some specifics would be a great addition to this comment.

Unfortunately, maintaining an opposite list would probably be easier.

> AVX512 isn't available on most new CPUs

Please define new. Also, I think AMD uses very similar cores in server and client. So, disabling AVX512 may be an Intel thing (my guess is that so they can easily move threads between E & P cores).

> if the virus and its DNA are undetectable then you can't spread it

The devil may be in the details. E.g. if a COVID test shows negative, it doesn't mean that you can't spread it. This is partly because different tests have different sensitivities.

> I'm pretty sure

FYI, without citations, it is hard to distinguish credible experts vs people on the internet saying "trust me bro".

Out of curiosity: what is your input to the model? A CAD file or a drawing?

I find it does a good job at isometric views from floor plans. However, I needed Gemini 3.1 Pro to be able to have a chance at rendering 3D human point of view images from floor plans.

Here is a repro using GCE's C4A Axion instances (c4A-highcpu-72). Seems to beat Graviton? Maybe the title of the thread can be updated to a larger number :) ? I used the largest instance to avoid noisy neighbor issues.

Perhaps the role will merge into one, and will replace a good chunk of those jobs.

E.g.:

If we have 10 PMs and 90 devs today, that could be hypothetically be replace by 8 PM+Dev, 20 specialized devs, and 2 specialized PMs in the future.

I don't know the specifics of this case, but maybe the investigators just asked in case there was an accidental trigger, or a real trigger etc. Seems reasonable for the detective to attempt to turn over any stone they can to aid the investigation.

Also, for a lot of people working on hardware, the alternatives aren't great. Big Tech players like Apple, Meta, Amazon, etc. all have downsides. Startsups are extremely risky, and don't pay employees as well (ex: Humane, Rabbit, Peleton, etc.)

A slightly better story for those working on software (e.g. Google Photos App or Backend). They have more options, but relatively good jobs (high pay, flexibility, great coworkers non-crazy hours, etc.) as still hard to come by. They exist, but not sure about the quantity.

+1, grey-on-grey can be hard for older folks too

Sure, and someone else can say otherwise. Comparing anecdotes doesn't provide a global view, IMO, and can lead to incorrect conclusions.

Maybe better to look at data instead, e.g. Netflix ad-supported plans vs ad-free plans, or YouTube Premium vs YT ad-supported, etc.

Interesting. On lmsys, Gemini is #1 for coding tasks. How does that compare?

"ChatGPT" Coding... is it impartial? the name sorta sounds biased.

> Also, I assume financial applications such as hedge funds would be buying these things in bulk now.

Please elaborate.. why?

I think there should be a distinction here. E.g. if you work on a browser, possibly implementing parts of image loading, or javascript parser, etc.

Are you consider a dogfooder if you use the browser? or do you need to lots of write Javascript yourself, etc. to be considered "a user of your product"?

Typically, these are two different sets of people.

So, I don't buy the "always, always" part

Future can be 6 days from now or 6 centuries from now. This statement is useless without specific details.

This sounds plausible, but would love a source

> Can you honestly claim that you keep in touch with those people?

Nope, but maybe the data below can shed some light on it:
