I've dumped python for anything that doesn't involve scipy / pytorch in favor of go. So yes, I'm having my llm's output go now which is generally more memory efficient than python.

I am so happy that Anthropic has signaled the possibility that their UI moat for agentic AI is copyable by competitors. At least that's the way I read this. When companies try to lock something down it can be a signal of weakness.

If so, it's possible to built great user interfaces in Chatbots and more companies/people can have amazing agentic development workflows! We don't have to live in a world where only the market leader has the most enjoyable model.

I wish the author had not used the words "Abandoned Mine in the Atacama Desert" Abandoned mine would've been fine. But now you've communicated the value of your find and given a basic hint of what mines to look up. The bright side is so far, author is probably fine because nobody's buying quantum crystals yet in a futures market.

At least the author has time to secure property rights and buy out old mines.

I've been using obsidian for years as a paying customer. Will continue to pay as price point is good and it just works. However, unless plugin security massively improves I will never install any plugins.

This is why I NEVER install any obsidian plugins - EVER. Obsidian itself is good. Obsidian plugins = security nightmare.

I did not realize Boris made the tutorial that got me into programming. Wow. What a great find! And is the Ilya S Ilya Sutskever?

I'm learning how to train transformer models locally to do useful work instead of having to pay for claude. I regularly update my blog here https://seanneilan.com/posts

If it can be used for inference, who cares right? Just have claude vibe code some objective-C or run the Enclave app.

This is exactly what I needed. I've been thinking about making this tool. For running and experimenting with local models this is invaluable.

Does anyone have Jeff Dean's sources for how he computed these numbers? What's the margin of error? How accurate are they now? Is there a set of numbers that also talks about memory bandwidth in GPUs? Are these numbers intel/amd only? How do they differ between an m1 architecture?

I'm a lot happier now being an anthropic customer.

Yes, this is probably the piece I am not realizing. However, there is no better approach to getting more capital than by scaring people?

Yes, the CEO's of these AI companies are clearly not the people who should be selling AI products. They need to be hidden away and kept behind closed doors where they can do their best work. And they need advertising companies, PR firms and better marketing tactics to try and soothe the customers.

I don't understand why some of these AI companies check their egos at the door and hire public relations companies. Yes, I understand they are changing the world but customers do not open their wallets when they are scared. Very few people I know are as avant-guarde as I am with AI, but, most people look at these new technologies and simply feel fear. Why pay for something that will replace you?

Learned a lot about local models using them to scrape target.com.
