I wonder if the new models consider land use change and emissions from aggressive datacenter development and model training...


++ When an EU outlet says, "Given the annual savings, this sum will pay for itself in less than a year. In the past, the state transferred millions to the US company Microsoft, primarily for the use of office software and other programs."

You know they want sovereignty.

WRT the criticism on this move by "the opposition" saying, ""It may be that on paper 80 percent of workplaces have been converted. But far fewer than 80 percent of employees can now work with them properly.""

I think this natural pressure will also be helpful for re-tooling IT infra and support companies to being more sovereign.


Too big to fail?


Finally, don't have to remember the UMRN for Camptown Races anymore.

I wonder how these pieces of understanding can be applied to neuroscience.


Real brains have a very different structure and composition. Neurons aren't monotonic, there are loops, etc.


They can't. Biological neural networks have no resemblance to the artificial neural networks of the kind used in LLMs. The only similarity is based on a vague computational abstraction of the very primitive understanding of how brains and nerve cells worked we had in the 50s when the first "neural network" was invented.


These pieces of "understanding" mostly don't even applied to other LLMs.


Maybe I'll vibecode that this weekend...


Reminds me of when I was working on NVIDIA Jetson systems, and learning how to use them, that you can run 1 command to make everything go faster... (https://jetsonhacks.com/2019/04/10/jetson-nano-use-more-powe...)


Do you mean the power mode? The article says there are 2 power modes, 5W and 10W, and that 10W is the default. From that I would assume that you can make everything go faster by using 10W mode, but only if you had already made things go slower by switching away from the default to the 5W mode? Did I miss something?


Loved this too hahaha..


I think that there's something to be said about brain cycles being freed up for different things. We were relieved of some manual tasks during the industrial revolution. Now what else are our brains free to do?

That's not to say that this notion I raise should not be also considered with others. We are indeed offloading some brain processing to a machine... what have we lost?

What will we gain?
