1024core··on Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000 has 96GB of VRAM and 600W of power
What's the limitation that keeps memory limited to 96GB? Could one put 512GB of memory on a card? I'm curious about what is the limiting factor.
1024core··on Two new PebbleOS watches
The chip inside claims to support Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth mesh, NFC, Thread and Zigbee. Maybe someone can hack together a payments app using the NFC?
1024core··on Google to buy Wiz for $32B
Didn't Google acquire another cloud security outfit called Mandiant sometime back? How is this different from that?

1024core··on Intel appoints Lip-Bu Tan as its CEO
> Tan left Intel's board last year over disagreements on how to turn around the company. He felt Intel had too many layers of middle management

Good sign.

1024core··on Why it's so hard to build a jet engine
How many countries make their own jet engines? US, UK, France ... anyone else?

1024core··on Replace OCR with Vision Language Models
> I never thought this would be possible in my lifetime.

I used to work in Computer Vision and Image Processing. These days I utter this sentence on an almost daily basis. :-D

1024core··on The FFT Strikes Back: An Efficient Alternative to Self-Attention
> Why not, for example, a wavelet transform.

That is a great idea for a paper. Work on it, write it up and please be sure to put my name down as a co-author ;-)

1024core··on The man who spent forty-two years at the Beverly Hills Hotel pool (1993)
> About $0.60 currently in the USA,

... IF you can find them in a store. Our local Trader Joe's (a grocery store) in SF has been out of eggs for a while.

I wonder how much of the HN readership was not even born then....?

Have you seen the egg prices lately...? ;-)

1024core··on AI-designed chips are so weird that 'humans cannot understand them'
@dang has a neuralink implant directly feeding HN to his brain...
1024core··on DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes
"basic stuff" != "mortgage".

I mean things like food, clothing and utilities.

1024core··on DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes
If you're having to take a loan to pay for basic stuff for your family, that means you're either spending too much or earning too little.
1024core··on SWE-Bench tainted by answer leakage; real pass rates significantly lower
To quote Goodhart's Law: When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

Or, as in the case of LLMs and benchmarks: When a benchmark becomes a target, it ceases to be a good benchmark.

1024core··on I think Yann Lecun was right about LLMs (but perhaps only by accident)
Current token depends on _all_ previous tokens, but only indirectly for the ones before the previous one, no?
1024core··on I think Yann Lecun was right about LLMs (but perhaps only by accident)
I think Yann is right if all you do is output a token, which is dependent on the previous token. If it's a simple Markov chain, sure, errors will eventually compound. But with Attention mechanism, the output token depends not only on the previous one, but all 1 million previous ones (assuming a 1M context window). This gives the model plenty of opportunity to fix its errors (and hence the "aha moment"s).

And Anthropic not even in the top 10 ...

The question came up and he said they would, once Grok-3 is fully released.
1024core··on San Francisco homelessness: Park ranger helps one person at a time
If this person wants to be left alone and live by himself, why doesn't he find some place in the wilderness, away from a city; maybe an area managed by BLM where he won't be bothered? Why does he have to fuck up one of the few parks in a city of 850,000 people?

1024core··on What the Black Hawk pilots could see, just before the crash
> Black Hawk helicopters often fly these routes as a pair, doubling the number of eyes scanning the sky for a safe passage. But that night, there was only one. Its two pilots worked together to navigate ...

So how many WERE there?!? Two, as in the first and third sentences, or just one, as in the second sentence?

Who writes this drivel and does not even proofread it??

1024core··on DA, sheriff, who shared woman's nude photos on phone are covered by QI
But hasn't it been "clearly established" by now that sharing someone else's photos from their phone is not legal??
1024core··on DA, sheriff, who shared woman's nude photos on phone are covered by QI
> Under qualified immunity, government officials can be held accountable for violating someone’s rights only if a court has previously ruled that it was “clearly established” those precise actions were unconstitutional.

Who made this rule?! So a court would have to rule on each and every possible abuse of the law by a government official??

1024core··on I tasted Honda’s spicy rodent-repelling tape and I will do it again (2021)
Why poison an animal just trying to survive?
1024core··on 1% Equity for Founding Engineers Is BS
> Generally we offer between 5% stake on the low end to 25% or more on the high end to the first few engineering hires.

How many "25%" stakes _do_ you have....?

1024core··on Google drops pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance
Maybe it's more like "If I don't do this job, someone else will"...
