What a great bullshit detector signal it is if someone's involved in the DAOs and NFT stuff. Don't waste your time on a fake AI-generated one-man shell company. The company had like 3 investments since 2017, first $2.5k from school startup grant in 2017, and two more from incubator programs in 2023 and 2024, for "augmented reality". And now you are the most innovative chip designer in AI. Nowhere on Chenming Hu's Linkedin said anything about being an official advisor for this one-man company. I can take a photo with Messi, does that make me a top soccer player?
Chinese frontier models don't need to catch up in every category. They just need to win in coding and that's exactly where they are going. The gap went from 12+ months to 1-2 months with the latest release of GLM 5.2 and coding is a task that you don't need heroic efforts to find rare and long-tail training data, you can just outsmart your competitor by optimizing algorithms and training recipes. This is something they can do at scale with the money and talent pool.
The familiar Chinese recipe for success: Always copy and imitate first, even if it is inferior, always make it cheaper or even free so that the original innovator will be burdened by brutal price competition and much bigger R&D costs and cannot keep up in the long run. Then the copycat will win in the endgame.
It's all about specific people at the leadership. No structure is immune to corruption because people come and go all the time. The reason why Nintendo is so resistant to slop for so long is because their key leadership people were homegrown all the way from entry-level jobs and are still there.
And why is that a good thing? The average user can't even spell Anthropic. Why do you think they can safely pick a third-party model provider that could harvest the hell out of their conversations? The control of ecosystem is part of the privacy and security. My mom's Android phone has like 100 apps that she had no idea how they were downloaded. For real user choices, the vast majority of users just want a phone that they can trust and don't have to be a techie to avoid being exploited. They can choose to buy a phone that can be built from legos, OR they can choose to buy a phone from someone they trust to get the privacy and security taken care of for them. This is the real user choice.
Seeing how many smart human beings commenting on this post mixing up concepts like intelligence, understanding and consciousness and falling for all kinds of logical fallacies makes me believe humans are no more advanced than a good next token predictor :)
He already scanned the codebase with Codex Security and a whole bunch of other AI tools, and fixed 200-300 bugs and CVEs. On top of that Mythos found 1 more bug and 1 more CVE is already impressive.
If you want to take the risk and install some unsigned software on your machine, go ahead, but don't blame Apple, who is gatekeeping for the entire ecosystem for making the decision to keep the restrictions in place so that the other 2.5 billion users don't fall victims to malware defenselessly. Also, as a rule of thumb in cybersecurity, never underestimate human flaws or overestimate your ability to overcome them. Even the most brilliant experts cannot possibly know everything and make zero mistakes, let alone "the users" you are talking about. It is pure illusion that "the users" know exactly what's running on their machine under the hood. We should be thankful that Apple is willing to hold the lines and go this far to tighten security up when nobody forces them to. It is probably one of the best thing coming out of Jobs' relentless push for privacy and security on the iPhone.
Totally agree. I found the results surprising because a bunch of languages are faster than C++. Then I looked closer. The requirements are self-conflicting, No SIMD, but must be production-ready. No one would use the unoptimized version in production. Also looking at the C++ implementation, they are not optimized at all. This makes this benchmark literally pointless.
Judging from their website, all links eventually point to either the VPN extension download website, or a signup link. I'm not surprised if some nation state supported APT is behind this shit.
When SpaceX came about, they said it was impossible for the rocket to come back from space and get reused. They said it wasn't going to work to combine multiple thrusters to form a big thruster and be reliable enough. When Starlink was introduced, they said it was stupid because the bandwidth is too small to be useful. Where are we now? 10 years ago, AI couldn't even beat a high-rank amateur Go player, let alone the best of pros. Everyone takes the excuse of dimensionality curse. Now what?
People who only look at the past/present and conclude impossibility are never going to be the ones who invent the future. Even math and science evolve, let alone engineering. The problems described in this article don't even remotely feel like the kind of barriers we faced when Go was solved, when protein fold was predicted and when LLM was solving problems with one prompt. If there is a strong NEED for datacenters to be up in the space, there will eventually be datacenters in the space.
1. In Silicon Valley, people are not bounded by non-compete clauses and can come and go at will. So fungibility is a top priority for any tech company. The only way to do that is to make sure expertise is shared across the team and not monopolized by one or a few old-timers.
2. Eng teams that have mostly old-timers tend to get stale and slow in changes. This is bad for products that need rapid evolution or new ideas to break status quo. New engineers have way more incentives to make changes to prove themselves and collect credits, while old-timers tend to play safe and stay on the side of stability.
That's so stupid. Just because I posted a video on TikTok doesn't mean someone should be able to go to the city's public website, look me up on a yellow page and download my photo id and fingerprints.
I'm not a Steve Jobs or Apple fan and I don't like some of his personalities, but to say someone is "an absolute disgrace of a human being", despite the fact that what he did inevitably revolutionized the entire computer/mobile world, sounds more like an absolute disgrace of a human being to me.
I don't know what gets you so mad at him, maybe you were the guy he fired from his meeting? Or is it just jealousy and denial of truth. He is not a moral saint, nor are you. He sometimes gets angry and attacks people, so did you in your post. Judging from how biased you were in your post, you are in no position to judge him to be honest, let alone belittling his massive contributions to mankind. Where were you when he introduced iPhone to the world?
