I've seen this one a few times and it's puzzled me a bit for a while now, I don't think anyone in these companies think iterating on an LLM model alone is going to give them AGI
You only have to look at how Claude Code has taken off in the past 6 months. Sure the model is a big factor, but it's the tooling built on top of it that makes it useful and disruptive. The model is what enabled the utility, when attached to conventionally engineered tooling.
Whenever the first AGI is created, an LLM will 100% be part of the implementation, it's just more than a one piece puzzle
I gotta wonder, given the power bill of these sites, why they're letting so much heat energy out into the atmosphere
Surely at least some of that heat could be tuned back into electricity. Yeah it's not gonna pay all the bills, but surely at a certain level of scale, there's gotta be some benefit in it just from an economical standpoint, let alone the ecological benefits of not accelerating climate change
We're only talking about it because we're very likely to get a new Labour leader and prime minister soon, so the candidates are either trying to/being forced to say something about it because our media has a fucking pathology for boosting talking points such as Brexit that might allow them to put Farage on the screen too.
On the one hand it's simply a ridiculous increase and pretty indefensible as a jump. Especially given that it doesn't really offer much you can't do for free with something like jellyfin
On the other hand at least they still offer a lifetime sub, crazy expensive yes, but the option is still technically there for someone who wants to use the software without subscription. Plenty of companies have gone down the sub only road, and I think we should give at least a bit of credit for them not doing the same, even though they'd clearly like to
I know audiophiles are a bit of an outlier in general, but Roon lifetime is even more IIRC!
The npm registry maintainers really need to do something about this, feels like a monthly occurrence now.
Particularly in the era where some devs seem to be happily letting Claude go and install whatever dependencies it likes in projects without second thought
Seriously I don't think there's any game that I'd want to play enough to just get a console at this point. Plus we know if we wait long enough they'll decide they want money again
I used to work in GAME a couple of decades ago in the UK. Did the Halo 3, WiiFit and one of the assassin's creed midnight launches, all crowds were great vibes.
I'd never do it myself, but it looked like good fun for those involved
Oh, I feel like I've gotta let you know the (post 2003/7?) Microsoft formats are technically "open" in that the spec is available for anyone to implement, license free
They saw ODF coming and made sure to kneecap any advantage
#3 is an incredibly recent development. You don't need to go back even half a decade before everyone was happily gargling Microsoft
Microsoft had an almost total stranglehold on Office productivity software for about 3 decades, only their formats really mattered. I think they still have over 3/4 of business & enterprise market share.
Google's productivity suite is probably in 2nd place in terms of usage today (much more popular than office outside of business) which I believe doesn't have an external file format, followed by either LibreOffice (via OpenOffice, the originator of ODF) or maybe even the Apple suite.
Essentially the support isn't super ubiquitous because, especially until recently, the percentage of documents created in that format is quite small compared to the Microsoft formats
Honestly at this point can we just report if he says something based in fact for a change, it'll reduce the noise
