croemer··on Running Kimi K3 on MI355X at Better Performance per Dollar Than B300
Prices have dropped by a factor of around 6 in real terms since 1925 for US household electricity.

Not sure why it matters whether weights are software or not.

One can equally argue that firmware is just settings for the CPU.

If weights aren't copyrightable then doesn't this argue against the idea of them being able to have the quality of open-sourceness? Meanwhile the training code could be copyrightable.

Some of us might be rich, or get funding, or in the future it could be useful when training is cheaper.

Open source has benefits even if you can run yourself. You can read the code for understanding/insights. Other labs could replicate/build on it.

> there is a ceiling of basic classes you have to internalize

I think you mean floor. Floor is a minimum you need. Ceiling would be the maximum you can achieve.

Below this floor you're not useful. There's a ceiling to how much you can do with no code tools.

croemer··on Scanning 7.6 Petabytes of HuggingFace Training Data for Secrets
I guess Huggingface datasets are easy to crawl - those datasets are hosted to be crawled. In contrast to the web at large which will be behind Cloudflare etc

In principle interesting, but I can't stand the Claude writing.

The whole post looks like a Claude artifact with random little cards.

It's also just too long, which is a side effect of using LLMs, it's just too easy to create walls of text.

The visualization is absolute useless slop. A Text-Form timeline would have been way more useful. I couldn't hear having to scroll by hand for something that's just textual information.

Indeed. Your link points at today's outage number 1. This thread here is about outage number 2. We're currently undergoing outage number 3.

The post that ends up on front page is usually the one for the previous outage due to the way the algorithm works.
