Did you not see the chatbot they posted online (https://chatjimmy.ai/)? That thing is near instantaneous, it's all the proof you need that this is real.

And if the hardware is real and functional, as you can independently verify by chatting with that thing, how much more effort would it be to etch more recent models?

The real question is of course: what about LARGER models? I'm assuming you can apply some of the existing LLM inference parallelization techniques and split the workload over multiple cards. Some of the 32B models are plenty powerful.

It's a proof of concept, and a convincing one.

How about if you run this loop (one year from now) on this kind of hardware but with something like Claude/Kimi K2. How about that? Because that's where it'll go.

Why so negative lol. The speed and very reduced power use of this thing are nothing to be sneezed at. I mean, hardware accelerated LLMs are a huge step forward. But yeah, this is a proof of concept, basically. I wouldn't be surprised if the size factor and the power use go down even more, and that we'll start seeing stuff like this in all kinds of hardware. It's an enabler.

In almost no situation is laughing at what someone says appropriate, also not here.

Do you want to elaborate and cite sources why that's funny, or do you just want to be snarky based on prejudice?

"Free speech" usually refers to the freedom to say what you want without the state giving you consequences for what you say.

In Germany, for example, you can say almost anything you want and no-one will give a hoot. If you're truly interested, here's some background for Germany in particular https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/politics/freedom-of-expr...

And reporters without borders has a world press freedom index that ranks the US on place... 57 - behind most of Europe. https://rsf.org/en/index

What the US media (and Elon Musk) call EU censorship is actually a request to follow EU rules if they want to operate in the EU market. What, exactly, is controversial about that?

Google basically has unlimited budget and unlimited data. If they're ahead now, which I believe they are, they'll be very very difficult to catch.

The reason is that the post you link to is overly simplistic. The only reason why Simon's experiment works is because there is a pre-existing language agnostic testing framework of 9000 tests that the agent can hold itself accountable to. Additionally, there is a pre-existing API design that it can reuse/reappropriate.

These two preconditions don't generally apply to software projects. Most of the time there are vague, underspecified, frequently changing requirements, no test suite, and no API design.

If all projects came with 9000 pre-existing tests and fleshed-out API, then sure, the article you linked to could be correct. But that's not really the case.

My wife's student asked: "Is it ok if I quote a few papers from the end of the last century?"

Made me feel very old indeed!

Fun party game: Ask people if they know ChatGPT. When they inevitably say "yes", ask what GPT stands for.

Start adding a 500ms delay to every invocation of a deprecated function. Incentives work!

My social media is full of rants about the ongoing trend of bringing fascism to the US and the authoritarian and repressive tendencies of the current president.

Am I not allowed to say that?

Try it anyway.

Yeah damn those Europeans for outlawing energy inefficient things

Their demos most definitely show scrolling through long websites very quickly, and they show playing computer games and playing videos on e-ink displays as well. Amazing stuff really.

Unless you set `isOpen` only when the transition has ended

Ken's solution optimized the general case, basically everything that doesn't match the if-statement.

A 3 month old fetus is not a person and therefore doesn't count under "anyone"

> The blocking of third party cookies by browsers (is) a much better solution.

Exactly! And why is that not being implemented? Because Chrome is top dog and they're earning a lot of money with your data, so WHY would they want to stop that data flow? Everything that would make it easier for you to protect your data would lose them money, so they have no incentive to do that.

Instead, we are stuck with these annoying cookie banners, which are easily and wrongfully blamed on the EU instead of on the website owners and the browser vendors.

We have cookie alerts because the world's largest browser, which is created and run by the world's largest advertising agency, has no incentive to make it easier for you to stop the flow of data you're sending them that's making them so much money.

Definitely not a Dutch street. More likely a German, Austrian/Swiss, or Alsatian (France) one. Those kind of half-timbered houses are extremely uncommon in the Netherlands.

Look at this one for example - my mind is blown: https://blog.decryption.net.au/images/macpaint/lesson3d.png

How do you even do that? Zoomed out it looks like a nearly photorealistic street scene, zoomed in I just see seemingly meaningless patterns of black and white. Magic. Unbelievable.

Because it was trained on data containing a lot of extremist / far right / fascist / neo-nazi speech, of course.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Missed the opportunity to include "garbage" in the list of default words for that graph... 5 times as frequent as the next runner up, "crap".

> In German and Dutch, the now popular combination of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream is called Pückler Ice Cream.

As a Dutch person living in Germany, I've *NEVER* come across that name before.

I've been hearing that for 20 years though...

If we are ok with AI drones autonomously choosing bombing targets, then you're right.

Aren't you making yourself vulnerable to unknowingly sending (potentially loads of) illicit traffic from your ip address into the world?

I'm not sure if I'd be up for that, to be honest...
