No one cares what that guy says.

This is such a Claude written post. Obvious tells everywhere, but the most annoying is how it uses private terms without defining them. What the fuck is "Spanner"? It refers to it multiple times. Of course we know the reason is that some dickhead at Ant told their Claude to write a blog post, and Claude being Claude has very poor/non-existent theory-of-mind for people and generates this trash.

I mean sure if you want the best racing you want a complete spec series. The point being that you'd make the cars as close as possible in times so they they're all bunched together. Adding TCS and ABS would then compress the delta that driver skill creates so you'd compress the field further. Then fully automatic gearboxes and auto-steer would make it even closer.

But F1 is not just about good racing. One of its USP is that it has the world's best drivers. I think that's mostly but not entirely true due to the presence of pay drivers like Stroll.

Traction control removes of the most fundamental skills of a driver. It’s like allowing ABS.

Wow...it's super common. For example, timing a program you can get user CPU time and then wall clock time, which can be two very different numbers.

Why would reallocating resources make a single inference run worse in quality?

Yes but it's their own design, not licensing Arm cores.

It's a custom Fujitsu micro-architecture.

It's not ok if it uses resources that could be better spent elsewhere. At 3% share what do you expect them to do?

I feel like they failed upwards into the right strategy. I doubt it was deliberate and not because of the failure of their foundation models to decent.

No. "Just" is understating the effect.

I tested all recent Opus versions and 4.6 and 4.7 were both fine FWIW. Seems 4.8 is when something started to go wrong.

Even React.

Meta employees reading this: whether you work in Reality Labs, ads, operations, ML compiler, LLMs, marketing, whatever. You're all complicit in the harm. Remember that.

You say that like what they were doing was a bad thing. It was a feature.
