My surface pro is okay whenever I have to take a windows laptop to a job site. The unreliability comes from Windows 11, but the hardware has been fine.

Hell you can have an overspec’d gaming PC and Windows still sucks the life out of it.

Surely the fiscally conservative Republicans believe in cutting this unnecessary expenditure, right?

I’m aware! I’m not saying they are healthy in any way. I’m just correcting that specific misinformation, because truth is important.

These companies are fucked if they keep operating the way they currently are, and I strongly suspect it’s all going to pop like the dotcom bubble, but worse.

I’m not saying they’re healthy, I’m saying that inference is the one profitable part of their business.

They’re all going to die because training costs dwarf the inference, and training doesn’t generate ANY revenue.

The new supercritical CO2 generators are pretty cool. Pretty much the same thing but no water!

We do have numbers from comparably sized Chinese models.

Yes, every AI company is bleeding money, they’re not healthy in any way. But inference by itself is profitable, based on everything that we know.

Inference + amortizing the training costs is NOT profitable, which is what most people are talking about.

This is easily fixed by not releasing a slightly different version every month.

This is a common myth, inference is not typically run at a loss, despite claims. It’s only a loss if you include staff and ongoing training costs. They could lock in their models now and be profitable if they wanted to.

Edit: I see the comment above has changed (or I misread initially) to say the companies are running at a loss rather than inference running at a loss. Yes, that’s extremely true. Now my comment doesn’t make any sense and is irrelevant so feel free to ignore my pedantry.

Musk wants to own and control more of the AI ecosystem, and step by step, the holy grail could be combining SpaceX and Tesla in some way to give the connected tissue between both disruptive tech stalwarts looking to lead the AI revolution

The phrase “In some way” shows that there is no actual plan, it’s just a bunch of grifters trying to prop up the IPO yet again. Shameful.

It is. We have cringy edgelords in charge of our military right now.

Probably easier to overwhelm detection than to evade it

Or when SpaceX bought Grok?

Hot damn, look at that RAM!

Right? If some dude on YouTube has to reassure you you’re “alpha“, you most certainly are not.

Me too, lil cartoon guy, me too.

It lets me focus on the software architecture, not the minutiae. It feels exactly like when I ran a team of brand new interns. They require a lot of hand holding but with the right direction they get good at their jobs very fast.

There isn’t an easy way. There may be a way to enforce it when you connect to a remote site, but that requires the remote computer to implement it, not you.

Yeah I’ve used Rufus before to provision large numbers of windows machines… if this helps preserve the local account setup that’s a big deal to my workflow.

Huh that could be quite useful, I’ll keep that in mind next time I need to do maintenance on a friend’s computer.

Can it be easily set up without a Microsoft account?

Plus more biomass = more chances of something getting cancer in there somewhere.
