I find it very that a big company ever gets this deep in layers of indirection, but at least they have the guts to restructure. The government rarely does.
A token is probably not a single char, and an image is probably decomposed into tokens as well (and god knows how many tokens an image is decomposed into) which probably map to similar float-hungry vectors. Your counterargument could use a bit more flesh.
And we're talking about images of texts, not images that represent complex imagery such as a very detailed scene or what have you.
Yes, it's been my experience as well. When I was looking for a good svg generator, I found a bunch of repos on Github created by Chinese programmers: OmniSVG / OmniLottie, SVGDreamer, and a few others. I didn't try them but it tells me that at least some people are trying to make it happen.
Well if you want to be pedantic, your NVMe drive is actually a SSD, nvme being merely a transport protocol. But point taken; I should have said SSD prices.
The switch to hardware-accelerated rendering was poor. It's still causing issues today. Is it the graphic drivers' fault or their poor implementation? Who knows, but they also disabled the switch that allowed to turn it off, which is just classic Microsoft being annoying.
Didn't we already have a video of that? I don't remember the data sources used to generate the overlay, however. Was it multiple solders' helmets sharing their data, and/or perhaps even a drone from above?
One can say that food can be produced elsewhere, but also data centers might be a critical component of future society if we don't solve birth rates. Also, fewer births mean less food required.
I'm sure it did, but that app looks like a Win XP-era app (not even Win7). FilePilot is fast, looks good & feels modern (support a command palette, fuzzy search, etc). The only downside is that it runs on the GPU and so running it inside a VM is a bit of a hassle.
Indeed, their argument makes no sense. They would probably complain about any industry building large factories. It seems they don't like progress, and not even the status quo, they would prefer regression.
Which makes me curious about what Marc actually meant. The quote itself raises eyebrows.
EDIT:
From checking in with Claude about his talk.
> So the thing he was arguing against was specifically what he sees as a modern therapeutic culture — the expectation that people should examine their motives, feel guilty about their actions, and look backward. He wasn't framing it as a philosophical position so much as a practical one about founder effectiveness.
It's not at all a similar analogy, and you know it. China is a threat. I assume you personally don't care about it, but it is in our interests that it does not dominate the AI industry.
