redanddeadon AMD expects to outsell Intel in Q4 for the first time in history

> That says more about Intel's shambolic efforts

I was going to say… everybody even government is coming together to make intel work but it’s in shambles

Haven’t they benefited a lot from the chips act?

redanddeadon BYD sold more EVs last month than the US did all quarter

i would love to spend >$100k on a great electric car, idk if they're quite there yet and the rocket boosters aren't doing it for me in the tesla line up lol

Still needs a step change upgrade on the battery tech

redanddeadon BYD sold more EVs last month than the US did all quarter

There's the scaling

No amount of fucking banning will work and the US is going to end up with egg on its face when the entire world is using chinese everything and the US is still trying to banhammer. The entire world has started shifting away from the US, not in a positive isolationist way -- in an uncompetitive, stagnating innovation way.

The only way out is through competition and this lesson will probably only be learned when its too late to do anything about it. Everybody saw this coming

Let's analyze the premises

1/ The internal users at labs and external users are completely different.

2/ The lab people use the models to create recursive systems, systems to create prompts or synthetic data sets etc etc etc. Way different mentality than "fix the bug, make no mistakes"

Is it really so farfetched to think they've been having models fuck with the weights of models? I think it's entirely possible, probably even likely as a way of generating permutations of synthetic datasets that will then be included or excluded

If you subscribe to this, then it would be entirely possible for this to have become a major part of post-training and be practically impossible to exclude from public facing models, which are famously hard to govern. The models barely know their own version numbers.

You and orangecat are using a false binary

That’s not how science works

Show me correlating graphs to the rise in colorectal cancer. There has to be a meta-analysis about this, my money is on food being a major contributing factor

redanddeadon Rising rates of colorectal cancer found in nearly all age groups

There’s an overconsumption of sugar

Sugar is awesome for cancer

redanddeadon Rising rates of colorectal cancer found in nearly all age groups

It’s the food

This isn’t some mystery, this isn’t happening in a vacuum. There are correlated trends like rising profits of the food industry, food becoming plasticized. Everyone’s fat now
