That gives you a false sense of precision. I had a bad experience with an old one. 100% would not buy the old mercury tech over anything else "smart" or not available today

Someone has to write 'The law', and we need to prioritize politicians that do (instead of those that are trying to get views on social media by getting quips/gotcha moments).

They might've not regressed, but those things were bad UX.

Those things are really hard to control, and no scheduling, no remote control, no sensors, etc.

nice, how do you plan to secure it?

The article never defines GDR, but I looked it up in case you were also unfamiliar:

The German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany, was a socialist state in Central Europe that existed from October 7, 1949, to October 3, 1990

What does it mean to run a model 24 hours a day?

Aren't we way way past that already? QPS to any of the frontier models for a given point in time is most likely (far) greater than zero.

Probably worth not getting too comfortable. It's only a matter of time before a new generation of product people can do this. Also, I have said this before, instead of 1 product person and 10 engineers on a team, you may have 2-3 product+eng people and 3 engineers, etc.

There are a lot of assumptions there that are not verified.

This is extremely simplified, and not realistic. One counter to this is markowitz portfolio theory, or "diversification effect".

> The "let's make money by selling/renting out TPUs" faction has won and the "let's make money by training and selling a frontier model" faction has lost.

Citation needed.

also, why can't a massive company do two things?

Some specifics would be a great addition to this comment.

Unfortunately, maintaining an opposite list would probably be easier.

> AVX512 isn't available on most new CPUs

Please define new. Also, I think AMD uses very similar cores in server and client. So, disabling AVX512 may be an Intel thing (my guess is that so they can easily move threads between E & P cores).

> if the virus and its DNA are undetectable then you can't spread it

The devil may be in the details. E.g. if a COVID test shows negative, it doesn't mean that you can't spread it. This is partly because different tests have different sensitivities.

FYI, without citations, it is hard to distinguish credible experts vs people on the internet saying "trust me bro".
