machinekob··on Crypto dominoes fall in the wake of FTX's collapse
15 000 000 usd minimal exposure.
machinekob··on TikTok’s greatest asset isn’t its algorithm, it’s your phone
Sounds like EA but I'm not sure if you can even speak about that right now :D
machinekob··on Replit's in-browser coding AI
"Any interns on that team who are going to get bullied by replits lawyers and CEO in the near future" for developing this?
machinekob··on Taking Lichess to the next level
Standard for someone with about 1 year of exp.

Its extremely low for someone with such a high skill level after tax it'll be about 35-40k euro not counting VAT on all the products you buy in EU (avg 18-23%).

machinekob··on Available Today: Windows Dev Kit 2023 a.k.a. Project Volterra
i3/i5 12 and 13 gen?

Outside m1/m2 there isn't any chip that can be compared to i5 intel 13 gen especially for PC space [that is in the same price bracket]. (maybe some arm chips can get close to i3 12100f but you can get it for 90 usd and get good single core performance so im not sure if in this price point is even any arm alternative)

machinekob··on Leaving the Cloud
Just put everything in cloud, use closed-in vendor solutions and overpriced eager fees as its typical VC way to just burn money cause "developers cost more" (maybe in California).

I was big cloud enjoyer in like 2016-20 but then some hacker news post open my eyes to the truth. They are trying to milk everyone and hook every possible person on some free credits then bump prices and get fat profits and ofc make as hard as possible getting out of the platform.

I just don't care and move to smaller providers for VPS and database + cloudflare for dns and pseudo s3 (still in almost free tier).

machinekob··on Has the CIA Done More Harm Than Good?
Russia was actively testing and attacking key infrastructure in Central Europe (NATO countries) for at least past 8 years and they aren't hiding it in Poland they even leak whole e-mail history of one of the ministers 2 years ago and laugh at it publicly (and indeed it was funny what they were writting), they attack key infrastructure in baltic countries at least once per year so we can trust 10+ countries that are in NATO at confirm it was Russia or believe in some grand conspiracy to destroy last moral country on earth that is Vatniks-heaven.

Its not "trust us" it is facts not even speaking about troll farms destroying social media for past 7/8+ years (and possibly 2016 US election)

machinekob··on Has the CIA Done More Harm Than Good?
Yea helping country invaded by barbarians that destroy whole cities, rape and kill civilians les masses also openly speak about using nukes is same as destroying government elected in fair election (vatnik-meme.jpg).

Russia was attacking west for past 10+years on the cyber-front they even blew up few ammo depos in Central Europe (European Union and NATO countries), assassinate people living in UK without consequences, they were corrupting German politicians with Gasprom money, they were killing opposition inside and outside their country for past 10+ years.

They are barbarian nation and should be stopped and that was common knowledge for everyone living in Central/Eastern Europe and post USSR central asian countries for decades.

It's good that US and West wake up and I'm hoping Russia can get proper XX/XXI century leap in mentality sooner then later cause they definitely stopped growing as society about 1960. (or they can go all in and get destroyed in conventional war vs NATO both options seems good for everyone that isn't Russian oligarch)

machinekob··on Why we chose not to release Stable Diffusion 1.5 as quickly
All this is PR talk after few dramas with immoral activities.

They got 100mil USD in founding and I feel like pressure squeeze them hard as they are trying to monetise models, but how you monetise open source models when someone can just fine-tune your weights and make better/faster/cleaner model and software without losing 10mil+ on training original.

You are always few mil behind rivals and after past few weeks which was PR nightmare they lost most of the "community driven" advantage.

I fell like they are extremely desperate for attention (drama was artificially created cause it clicks conspiracy) or they are just so chaotic and lack proper leaders that everything is burin.

machinekob··on Intel Core I9-13900K and I5-13600K Review: Raptor Lake Brings More Bite
In next year Intel should be on parity with TSMC 5nm (Intel 4 node) so meteor lake will be on close to TSMC 5nm/4nm probably.
machinekob··on Intel Core I9-13900K and I5-13600K Review: Raptor Lake Brings More Bite
Yea this generation power limiting in bios will be a must for high end.

Both 7950X and 13900k don't lose much performance from limiting power to "reasonable" wattage.

machinekob··on Intel Core I9-13900K and I5-13600K Review: Raptor Lake Brings More Bite
AMD will have a lot of problems on the low end looking at 7600X vs 12600k performance and most likely will be destroyed in the upper-middle after 12700k reviews goes live looking at 12600k vs 7700x.

Pretty weird that roles changes and now Intel is dominating low end and AMD is trying hard to dominate high end.

machinekob··on Intel Core I9-13900K and I5-13600K Review: Raptor Lake Brings More Bite
On other benchmarks Intel limited to 255W still beats Ryzen 9 7950X in most cases.

And Intel is on at least 1/1.5 node behind right now so still impressive for me especially 12600k that totally destroys 7000 series right now.

machinekob··on Intel and the $1.5T chip industry meltdown
Global recession for sure can be blamed for most thinks in EU right now, as we just have a lot less money to spend cause of energy prices, inflation and enormous number of refuges which make prices of basic goods even higher (In some places from 3 to even 10% [Poland] of all population living there are people from Ukraine). And Central Europe isn't prepare for that.
machinekob··on Intel and the $1.5T chip industry meltdown
tl:dr Global recession => lower chip demand for consumers

China ban => lower demand from CCP

nvidia RTX 4090 still out of stock in most places :|

I'm pretty sure datacenter and military chip usage will grow in next few years even if recession hit consumer market even harder then past year then US chipmakers will get fat checks just 2be prepared for China retaliation (probably feels good to be Intel in chip war time).

machinekob··on Stability AI Unicorn
They'll try OpenAI pivot probably so few closed source models do a simple api for that and try to sell it for some big cloud provider.

Not sure if it'll work in current recession economy.

machinekob··on GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code
Thanks for posting this out never see that before. If they use copyright images they should also get punished in the original paper they say no copyright content was used but it can be just lies who know data speak for itself and if they can prove this in court they should get punished ( so again Microsoft getting rekt for that will be good to see :] ).
machinekob··on GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code
I'm pretty sure DALL-E was trained only on not copyright material ( they say so :| ).

But to be honest if your code is open source im pretty sure Microsoft don't care about licence they'll just use it cause "reasons" same about stable diffusion they don't give a fuk about data if its in internet they'll use it so its topic that probably will be regulated in few years.

Until then lets hope they'll get milked (both Microsoft and NovelAI) for illegal content usage and I srsly hope at least few layers will try milking it asap especially NovelAI which illegally usage a lot of copyrighted art in the training data.

Posting rt.com should be auto-banned
machinekob··on An answer to: why is Nvidia making GPUs bigger when games don't need them?
No one is saying games don't need bigger GPUs is this post some sort of bait?

Also Nvidia would probably go more into custom accelerators (tensor cores) as whole industry is moving more towards bigger VRAM and more tf32/bf16 units for AI training over standard fp32 gaming workflow and that's isn't focus of RTX class gaming cards.

And 4090/3090/2080ti is old Titan class card for prosumers mostly focused on 3d rendering/video editing etc. and also gaming for AI pros they are milking sweet money out of quadro lineup.

If you are rly limited by VRAM you should just go fully TPU not wait for some magic consumer VRAM increase as it won't happen for a few years probably (most games in 4k can't utilise 16gb.)

machinekob··on Intel plans thousands of job cuts in face of PC slowdown
Amd revenue 2021 -> $16.4 billion Intel 2021 -> $79.024 billion

But 2be fair amd is/was growing and intel is stagnant and lose market share right now but with a massive investments and going back on track with fabs process i would assume Intel soon start 2grow again (ofc after the end of the recession)

We have to remember AMD is making money out of TSMC advantage over Intel node which I assume won't last forever and if TSMC blunder even one node it can be catastrophic for AMD. Considering USA shift and focus on tech war with China Intel fabs can only grow faster or everything can crash.

machinekob··on Ask HN: Why Germany refuses the limit on natural gas price?
They politician class is corrupted by Russian. For few months at least once a week/two we see new leaks about another German politician with Russians connection exposed.

Same case with arms export German population wanna help, politicians not so much and bomb every export proposal(even with 70%/75%+ popular support which is extremely weird for democracy)

machinekob··on [dead]
Looks like some sort of update from ML algo? People that i follow got demonetized (that i knew of) and a lot of theme were focused on economy of the war not rly war itself so probably some sort of auto-war demonetization.
machinekob··on Ask HN: Why are Intel E-Cores 1/4th the size of P-Cores
No AVX-512, less cache, lower frequency only one thread per core.
machinekob··on Discovering faster matrix multiplication algorithms with reinforcement learning
Wasn't this based on some other paper? I have read something like that a year+ (?) ago also about deep learning based matrix multiplication boost.
machinekob··on Data Version Control
They won't, they can make investor money back only from selling company to Amazon/Microsoft/Google but in this economy it won't happen.
machinekob··on Ask HN: Are you preparing for global conflict?
Invasion of Ukraine who could knew (a lot of people). I would say most of people living in eastern Europe and folks having some interested in this part of world predict some sort of military invasion of Ukraine after 2004-2005 revolution, and after 2014 revolution it was pretty obv that Russia would do everything it can to stop Ukraine from pivoting to more western standards and closer integration with EU and Poland.

Also US who knew about invasion few months before.

Global pandemic is kinda once every few 100 years think so unlucky for us that happen right now.

History lessons show that to global or even continental conflict you need to have blocks of equal powers (from Ancient Greece (Peloponnesian War as local but "big" conflict) till modern times and Napoleonic Wars/WW1/WW2) and there is no block that can rival US right now (maybe in 10 years if China go back on tracks and push more funds into army)

machinekob··on Ask HN: Are you preparing for global conflict?
Who would start this global conflict? US can annihilate Russia in a month (not counting time for deployment). China is in enormous financial crisis and economic slowdown without proper navy to invade Taiwan, there is no way for "true" global conflict [not even close to WW1 and WW2] right now.
machinekob··on Nvidia Reveals RTX 6000 with 48GB GDDR6 ECC Memory
Imagine you have to spend 15% of your yearly salary every 2 years cause nvidia tax (ofc in western developer countries and more like 50% excluding cost of living in less fortunate areas)
machinekob··on Nvidia Reveals RTX 6000 with 48GB GDDR6 ECC Memory
Cause you won't be able to use working/business equipment in your free time on your own projects?
