@mergesort I’m talking about the article you posted, they make their conclusion on data that I’d call questionable mostly because there’s so much incentive to tell a huge growth story.
@paul These aren’t numbers from Anthropic, they’re from the independent and well-respected organization METR. They were embedded within Anthropic for a few months and were given full independence, ultimately publishing a report on what they observed.

“Butkus the bullmastiff ended up in Rocky II, and Jimmy Gambina has ended up living the rest of his life as the scapegoat in a story that seems so touching and magical … so long as he isn’t the one sharing it. You’re the guy who took Sly’s dog from him. He wasn’t. He and Stallone haven’t spoken since 2005. The days that Rocky’s cast and crew spent working in Philadelphia would define the film’s staying power. They remain for Gambina a memory laced with pain.
“‘You know what?’ he said one night over the phone. ‘It’s hurt me in a lot of different ways. It’s broken my heart.’”

Tbf, most of those choices are opt-in, these days. There was a huge outcry demanding that.
So now, as always before, it is your choice if instance admin that matters much more than choice of platform.
Plus there’s PyLova too! It flat-out removed those choices from the code altogether.
PieFed blocks Hexbear and ML out of the box - they’re opt-out, not opt-in.
Planetologists jokingly called it the “Jupiter Spicy Moon Explorer”. Io, they said, was an irradiated tide-wracked volcanic hellscape. Sending a probe there was just as doomed as trying to beat the two hour survival record for Venus probes. Anyway sulphur worms had no right to be so damn tasty.

@ai6yr I hope it goes away pronto!
@sasutina13 Thanks, me too.
"Fracas" (last syllable) rhymes with
@ai6yr I got a COVID jab 9 days ago. I was super ill and felt horrible for at least 6 days. If that was the vaccine, then what would it be like without a jab?
@sasutina13 INDEED!!! The first and only time I got COVID (that I am aware of) it was AWFUL, but similar feeling to this (this is at the moment just mild....)
They’re playing my chemical romance in this Honda dealership
@alisynthesis @megsouth I work at a supposedly fancy-adjacent hospital that is, in fact, making money. We are not inner city at all (rural, by Federal rules actually). This shit is my daily. Dartmouth benefits from the largely insured community as well as the support from research and elective surgeries, and a fairly stable population, with a hospital that grows when it needs to. Sadly not how most are situated or operate. Very nice place when I volunteered there 😜
@ai6yr that all sounds indeed very much like COVID. I saw a map earlier and levels in CA were elevated. Hope you can isolate and get a few days of rest. It still sucks, even with a base immunity
@carstenfranke Well, the rest of the family is coming down with something too. (my son is a paramedic too, seems to drag home a lot of crud 😬). Took a bunch of naps today, will take more naps tomorrow... hopefully will gain the upper hand on it at some point. Anyway, that's my theory, who knows!!
I LOVE peanut butter.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange @ireneista@irenes.space @ErickaSimone@mastodon.social nvidia have absolutely exorbitant margins on these things right now. they can cope with a big pile of these deals going bad.
more existentially for them, they want to make sure they have customers who aren't OpenAI and Anthropic. honestly it kinda reads as if they are screwing their firmer customers (hyperscalers, big ai cos) by locking in high prices to make bets on their up-and-coming competitors.
and in the process maybe inflating their stock price a bunch
@azonenberg@ioc.exchange @ErickaSimone@mastodon.social @ireneista@irenes.space now i think it is very fair to say that nvidia probably overextended their market position. their margins make it easy to compete with them, and if you're doing large scale inference other vendors are really fucking attractive right now.
@kyleve @mergesort it has improved, it’s useful now. Saying its going to keep improving at the same rate or even a faster rate is where I have problems with. Stuff is too new and too complex to be able to do any kind of prediction of where its going to be in 6-12 months. Saying its going to take over all white color jobs next year makes it sound like someone has drunk way too much koolaid.
@paul @mergesort oh yeah, I don’t buy that whole “its going to take all the jobs” stuff (let’s check in again in 2029?). But, it is really good at software, and it’s only getting better – which tbh has been refreshing, I enjoy making software again for the first time in like a decade!
