Another reason hyperscaler cloud providers will continue to grow (IMO)!

Seen differently, it’s fair for a founder who has relinquished most of their control over the system to retain 5% equity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

404 for me

This is a complete non-sequitur, but I checked out your web page. I love the Curious George image. My daughter has been deeply into the Curious George episodes for the past couple of months, and I don't think I've seen him show up in many other places besides kids' shows :D

> said shareholders holding a majority of the company’s voting power have approved amendments

…doesn’t this mean Zuckerberg himself?

My feeling is that this will be near apocalyptic for the devs who found their joy in the finer grained aspects of implementation, like crafting individual “perfect” blocks of CSS and component code. Many developers enjoy the practice of writing software, as something distanced from actually delivering a product.

Retooling thought to be delivery-oriented is very difficult.

Never thought of that angle but it doesn’t seem far off.

Wow, super cool. Are you the PG Rust guy? Very impressive what you're doing.

I’m not flagging anything!

> it runs up to 1.7× faster than comparable MoEs on-device, with 184 tokens/s on an Apple M5 Max and up to 21K output tokens/s on a single NVIDIA B300 GPU

Wow, those are seriously impressive numbers for how intelligent this model seems to be!

One thing that this article doesn't clarify, and that I guess I really should look into, is what exactly AutomationBench tests for as compared to other benchmarks. The standout performance on AutomationBench is interesting to see, but I don't know what it really means because the model seems to score relatively close to other local models on every other benchmark.

I mean, in this case it linked me to many sources, including the manual for the OCT machine used. One thing that even my ophthalmologist might not know, buried in the PDF manual, is that the sample size only includes 5 people under the age of 35 (skewing my "1st percentile" results more aggressively).

But you're right that you can't be 100% certain. Isn't that true for human-to-human explanations too?

I know a number of physicians who have.

I have no idea how I’d have even started on a project like this in 2020… certainly not by writing raw WebGL — ha!

Absolutely. As one of my physician friends told me: “half the time, the best plan is, ‘We'll have to wait and see.’”

But, as a patient, it's hard to find comfort in that. I think that might be what drives the craziness in “non-traditional” approaches to treating disease. Could it be that people using fruititarian diets and essential oils for cancer are doing so because they don’t understand enough to bear a “wait and see” situation?

Argon explained the problem to me in such depth that I could be content with my basic treatment plan. ChatGPT went way off the deep end, suggesting things like high-dose niacinamide treatment (which is admittedly being evaluated in clinical trials, but comes with a host of other side effects).
