Scary compression

I skimmed the article, but it seems to be assuming that Google's LLM is using the same architecture as everyone else. I'm pretty sure Google uses their TPU chips instead of a regular GPU like everyone else. Those are generally pretty energy efficient.

That and they don't seem to be considering how much data is just being cached for questions that are the same. And a lot of Google searches are going to be identical just because of the search suggestions funneling people into the same form of a question.

I believe part of the DMA means that they're allowed to use their own engines. Whether they have that ready right now I'm not sure, but I'm sure it's in the works.

If a society is to function people need to be doing the work that isn't enjoyable as well as the work that's enjoyable.

There's likely not enough people that get genuine enjoyment out of being a garbage man or sewer maintenance worker for a world with everyone doing what they want to work.

You have to add incentives for the less desirable labour or else the system collapses under its own weight.

"please come to the office so you can experience the time crunch without the comfort of your own home"

If you have to run power to it, you might as well run some data as well. Never really the best idea to have mission critical equipment at the mercy of a congested wifi network.

They didn't really need to specify the bf is a top when they ended the post with a keyboard smash

I kind of wonder how a company with such an iron grip on SSO can't manage to be profitable. That and I literally saw a job listing from Okta last weekend, so they're probably just trying to replace their tenured high cost employees with cheaper workers.

Maybe the article is being vague but stuff like this really doesn't seem like it should be patented. Especially considering I'm pretty sure I've seen this done in games before. The simplest being Mario games giving you invincibility in a level after you die a set amount of times. Or I think A Hat in Time would shorten certain boss battle segments after you completed them already.

The implementation here would need to be really new and impressive to justify this being a patent. And I'm guessing it won't be, assuming they ever actually do something with it.

Took long enough - at a certain point Nvidia's pricing just to get CUDA doesn't make sense when compared to the cost of just investing in ROCm and OneAPI.

All they had to do was find the right balance, but apparently they decided to see how much money the printer could make...

I'll have you know that the fake internet points are still here and I will continue to use them to determine my worth in the eyes of my peers.

If you look at the mod that's hosting the poll they never even left the site. This doesn't feel like something they're doing for the benefit of the community, it feels like they're doing it because they're addicted to the platform and aren't willing to make a community elsewhere. It just happens that they can open a poll and all the people that already left aren't going to have a chance to say no.

Not too mention that they're hosting it on Reddit itself, which requires an account to vote on polls. When many people already deleted their accounts.
