rreichman··on Anthropic's ‘watermark’ text adulteration in Claude is a perversion of writing
They can't include a watermark in that case, that's not the relevant use case.
rreichman··on Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
There is a well established procedure for these things, happens in hospitals etc. Not a new question a jury needs to address.
rreichman··on Why software stocks are getting pummelled
Which part of Figma can you build with 20 engineers? I think we're still not close to a small team building real-time collaboration software at scale that actually works at the quality level that customers expect.
rreichman··on Meta antitrust trial kicks off in federal court
using an email for chat like people use whatsapp is not practical
rreichman··on The Software Engineering Identity Crisis
I think we can expect a bifurcation: managerial jobs that will require a lot of breadth and engineering jobs that will require a lot of depth. The manager engineers will have AIs doing all sorts of things for them across the stack. The deep engineers will develop an expertise that the AI can't get to (at least not yet).

Have you heard of the South China Sea?
rreichman··on OpenAI co-founder John Schulman announces he is joining Anthropic
That's not a plausible explanation. sama knows how good Schulman is, of course he'd be glad to let him not manage anyone and continue his work.
rreichman··on AMD to buy Silo AI for $665M
Was Pensando a bad acquisition? Isn't it a bit early to tell?
rreichman··on Ask HN: Video streaming is expensive yet YouTube "seems" to do it for free. How?
Still aren’t. Alphabet only publishes YouTube revenue.
rreichman··on Benchmarking in the Real World: Apache Spark 3.5.0 on EC2
We performed this benchmarking and thought it would be interesting to share. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
rreichman··on Commission opens non-compliance investigations against Alphabet, Apple and Meta
I'm saying that the app looks at what you like in order to serve you content in the feed. Do you dispute this?
rreichman··on Commission opens non-compliance investigations against Alphabet, Apple and Meta
Ad tracking has nothing to do with privacy. The app is already tracking your every move to serve relevant content. Serving relevant ads is the same thing and is no more of an infringement on your privacy.
rreichman··on Commission opens non-compliance investigations against Alphabet, Apple and Meta
Similarly to GDPR - ATT is bad for Meta but much worse for Meta's competitors.
rreichman··on Our next-generation model: Gemini 1.5
And yet - AlphaGo, AlphaZero, AlphaFold...
rreichman··on Seal Security wants to make open-source vulnerability remediation easy
Cool idea, I'm surprised they're the first to come up with this.

rreichman··on Go: What we got right, what we got wrong
Interesting that you say Node programming is a catastrophe, I think it’s fantastic.
rreichman··on Ferret: A Multimodal Large Language Model
Oct 23 is old :)
rreichman··on AMD MI300X 30% higher performance than Nvidia H100, even with optimized stack
Nvidia has been working on CUDA for 16 years and for the past few years building ML use cases on CUDA. AMD is late in the game with ROCm. That said, I think the future is bright for AMD. The MI300X looks great and they're spending a lot on making ROCm better and fully PyTorch compatible, which will automatically make all of the PyTorch-based software AMD ready.
rreichman··on AMD Launches Instinct MI300X AI Accelerator, Up to 60% Faster Than Nvidia H100
CUDA is becoming less important over time
rreichman··on AMD Launches Instinct MI300X AI Accelerator, Up to 60% Faster Than Nvidia H100
Sure but the future is not the past
rreichman··on AMD Launches Instinct MI300X AI Accelerator, Up to 60% Faster Than Nvidia H100
Their software is definitely improving and will get a whole lot better in the next few years. It's worth many billions for companies to exit the Nvidia lock-in.
rreichman··on AMD Launches Instinct MI300X AI Accelerator, Up to 60% Faster Than Nvidia H100
According to this and SemiAnalysis[1], the MI300X seems impressive. Better than Nvidia's H100 and maybe a bit inferior to the H200. Why is Nvidia worth $1 trillion more?

rreichman··on Adobe's buy of Figma is 'likely' bad for developers, rules UK regulator
These companies operate in the UK. It's the same authority that the EU or China has. The deal is that you can adhere to their laws or leave the market.
rreichman··on Emmett Shear becomes interim OpenAI CEO as Altman talks break down
Hinton is overrated? That's quite a take.
rreichman··on SBF Arrested by Bahamian Authorities
They’re criminals. A rogue financial institution not regulated in any country. Don’t do proper KYC/AML.
rreichman··on Stripe releases Plaid-like project, Plaid CEO objects to process
Thoughts? How is this ok? Seems super shady to me.
rreichman··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
If software engineers at Tesla chose to break the law on purpose, which is what seems to have happened, then I believe they should be criminally charged.
rreichman··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
It's crazy that Musk is talking about full self driving within 11 months when the software can't reliably adhere to stop signs.
rreichman··on An enormous thread on alleged Google Facebook collusion
Ostensibly true but in practice this is a way of lawyers to say - don't put illegal things we do in writing.
