Check out how much money gets burned and how much money companies like Microsoft and Google actually make.

I have watched plenty of movies from a bluray.

Nonetheless, i do think that compression from a high res source looks different / sharper.

What we do right now is to introduce it to the whole ecosystem. This costs money.

AI / ml will not go away anymore.

And the money we pumpe into it? Doesn't matter. Our tech companies and VCs have enough money to pump into

There is a difference between 'totally feasable' and 'inhuman and stupid'.

Its totally feasable in an emergency situation or if you just want to live like this.

But otherwise? its not okay. Peple want save spaces. A toilet at night, a bed. And not random poeple looking into your car and not shitting on the side of a street.

It doesn't has to be good yet.

We just started adding AI to every aspect of products. Things like this takes time.

And in my company it adds already value. In another company we can now do tasks we were unable to do before. It increases data quality by a relevant amount. Hard to determine a ROI for things like this.

1080p looks different to 4k. Just because its 'plenty' doesn't mean 4k doesn't matter.

And we are at 2024, i own a 4k lg oled display now for years. Why not leverage it? Just because 1080p is 'plenty'?

Yes why not?

Different use cases exist:

Record 8k text and you could zoom in and read things. Record 8k and crop withot quality loss or 'zoom' in

Does everyone need this? Probably not but we are on hn not at a coffee party

I started late but i rememeber when i upgraded my system with an additional 64mb stick, i was able to reduce the GTA 3 Loadtime between one island to another from 20 seconds to 1.

And at that time i also learned how critical it was to check your ram for errors. I reinstalled win98 and windows 2000 so often until i figured this out.

I would assume that 3.5 means that the base training (which takes weeks/month) wasn't changed but only finetuning happened.

Because its a finetune of 3.5 optimized for the use case of computer use.

Its actually accurate and its not a 3.6.

Big models / huge models take weeks / month longer than the smaller ones.

Thats why they release them with that skew

It would be huge to actually get a real no bullshit answer from people like him.

Either he got some strategy which is smart but he can't communicate, or he tries playing a very long game, or he actually doesn't understand it and is just a normal person and normal people need experts telling them why it sounds good but is stupid or he has some VC experts telling him how to communicate to get money without a real endgoal but pivoting to something else later.

How about we plaster our existing area full of PV and than in 10 years we talk about space?

Ground based solar has very little flaws.

Its cheap (its just silicium plates), we will have organic based systems in the future. You will be able to print it in the future.

Efficency is huge. We have so much unused roof space, its ridicoulous. parking spots, house roofs, commercial building roofs.

Why would you think its smart to send computers, which need cooling, up to use the energy over there? Do you know how hard it is to radiate heat away in space?

Thats just not realistic at all. Its so far away from realistic, i'm not sure why arstechnica is posting this VC ad.

You need the size of the area you want to shine it up which is HUGE.

Why do we entertain this? How do people get funding for doing this? Are people so ignorant?
