OSes and software engs did not end up using less RAM.

Measurable responses to the environment lag, Moore's law has been slowing down (e: and demand has been speeding up, a lot).

From just a sustainability point, I really hope that the parent post's quote is true, because otherwise I've personally seen LLMs used over and over to complete the same task that it could have been used for once to generate a script, and I'd really like to be able to still afford to own my own hardware at home.


How many times have we implemented Hello World?

I'm using local models on a 6 year old AMD GPU that would have felt like a technology indistinguishable from magic 10 years ago. I ask it for crc32 in C and it gives me an answer. I ask it to play a game with me. It does. If I'm an isolated human this is like a magic talking box. But it's not magic. It doesn't use more energy than playing a video game either.


Which models?


Thanks! I've been playing with some of the qwen models via openrouter as well.. I'll have to give 9b a go at some point, I've been mostly playing with 27b and coder-next up till now.

Cool site and Andrej is the man. But the BLS data...

...word?


I just started reading Snow Crash; cool name!

Collapse of the Internet or collapse of the visual world wide web? tbh, I am a little curious to see what comes after clicking a button on a web page.

In my view, this guy's podcast didn't get big talking about AI, it's best known for cold war history and foreign policy discussions with Sarah Paine of the U.S. Naval War College.

Dwarkesh definitely got big in Silicon Valley from his AI podcasts. He's one of the few people who can get famous researchers on and also have them say something genuinely new.

After that, he become well-known to the general public through his Sarah Paine podcasts (which are excellent).


It's not a coincidence the equally clueless citizens are asking for these laws. Like in business, sometimes it's better to do "some thing" when you're not smart enough to do the right thing. Maybe you get there, maybe you don't, but inaction is not looked upon kindly.


What citizens are asking for age verification? I have met exactly ZERO people who want this. It’s only the authorities who want it.


Do these groups count as the authorities?

Children Now (co-sponsor). International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (co-sponsor). AAPI Equity Alliance. California Parents for Public Virtual Education. Parents Support for Online Learning. Protect Our Kids.


I've not met anyone privately who would be in support of this.

There is a layer of indirection at work here. Fake-democracy.


After they were roasted by the 2022–2023 Pentagon doc leaks, it was pretty obvious they were going to take action.

And not just that event: Parents are roasting Roblox for kids getting groomed, but after the relationship is initiated, the groomers always immediately the convo to Discord.


don't go creating problems where we don't need solutions.


When picking a fight with product marketing, just don't.


In the past, my job has been exactly this.

A few times I took my hands off the wheel to see if I was truly redundant. Let's just say, I wasn't.

At worst, I was the only one looking at the schedule.

At best, I was a support mechanism for people working on an absolutely boring product.
