arpowers··on Anthropic's 100k context is now available in the web UI
The vast majority of AI tools are vaporware mock-ups …

Adobe Firefly is best example of “just ship a mock-up of the feature” Ai marketing

arpowers··on Anthropic's 100k context is now available in the web UI
Is it useful?
arpowers··on The State of Serverless GPUs
The large clouds are intentionally hard to use platforms with a different target customer than the smaller players …

A small price to pay for progress at the scale of SpaceX
arpowers··on StableLM: A new open-source language model
Why does every LLM use "Hope this email finds you well" to start virtually every letter and email?
arpowers··on Bob Lee, former CTO of Square, has died after being stabbed in San Francisco
I dug into this and is totally true. Soros is the head of a crime/power syndicate that is so crazy connected that they control the media, tech, even AI.

This is the idealist and ignorant perspective that created the problem. The woke mind virus.

Meritocracy is critical. Someone has to do the actual work.

arpowers··on Pause Giant AI Experiments: An Open Letter
Honestly, you haven’t thought this through deeply enough.

Bad actors can actually do a ton w ai. Hacking is a breeze. I could train models to hack at 10k the efficiency of the worlds best.

I could go on… every process that can’t scale cuz manual, has been invalidated

I use juicefs and it’s the way to go.

arpowers··on OpenAI CEO warns that GPT-4 could be misused for nefarious purposes
Exactly!
arpowers··on OpenAI CEO warns that GPT-4 could be misused for nefarious purposes
They will be using this angle as a moat, models are after all just a big file of assorted weights. They are losing sleep trying to figure out how to keep their lead
arpowers··on OpenAI CEO warns that GPT-4 could be misused for nefarious purposes
I agree, but more I think they see a slew of open source competitors on the horizon and will be leaning into regulation to maintain a moat.

Cato the younger for forcing Caesar to cross the Rubicon?
arpowers··on ChatGPT spitballing fundamental physics theories
I did this myself a few weeks ago,

while I don’t want to sound crazy…

I managed to get GPT to mathematically derive a formula and calculate actual results to explain some well known anomalies in physics.

I’m aware that gpt might be imagining and contriving false conclusions …

but I have no doubt that ai will be moving physics forward within the decade

arpowers··on FDIC – SVB FAQ
Probably not, SVB’s exposure was unique in that most investments during 20-21 were in crypto and web3.

Both those technologies have yet to see real revenue… so in turn, lots of companies have been drawing down their balance for the last 18 months without 1. Making money or 2. Raising more.

TLDR the amount of money invested in speculative and unrealized companies led to unique exposure for svb

arpowers··on Show HN: Pet Portrait AI – Custom Pet Portraits
Looks nice, how are you hosting the GPUs for training or are you running things manually behind the scenes?
arpowers··on We've filed a lawsuit against GitHub Copilot
The proper way to think about these LLM is similar to plagiarism.

Seems to me the underlying data should be opt-in from creators and licenses should be developed that take AI into consideratiin.

arpowers··on We've filed a lawsuit against GitHub Copilot
In some ways all these AIs are plagiarizing... I think creators should opt-in to ai models, as no current license was developed with this in mind.
arpowers··on Bun v0.2.0
Which libraries break and why? (child-process?)
arpowers··on Made in America is back, leaving US factories scrambling to find workers
CNN is an unreliable place for information. Without doing further research I assume they are spinning things for democrats to make things look better than they actually are. (Same thing goes for Fox News and any other biased media)
arpowers··on Marc Andreessen compares California to Rome circa 250 A.D
We aren’t at the “crisis of the third century” level yet… but certainly looks like we’re headed there…
arpowers··on US National Debt Tops $31T
Debt is a misnomer when the debt is serviced exclusively with printed money.

Seems to me they use the term because it works better politically

arpowers··on Guide to Analytics for Startups
It's time for startups to become data-driven. After building three companies with varying degrees of success, there is just no way that a company can survive today without data competency.

I wrote a blog post discussing the minimum you'll need to do to compete.

arpowers··on Show HN: Darwin – Free website analytics (+more) for Startups
Hey guys, I’m the founder of Darwin a free website analytics platform for startups.

It includes session replays, behavioral analytics, realtime clickmaps... all free.

I built it because, as a startup guy myself, I've had a ton of frustrations understanding my traffic in traditional analytics services (you know who I'm talking about)

Anyway, would appreciate any feedback I can get from the HN community.
