They aged out of being competitive against SoC NPUs. This is ultimately the successor to that.

Ed's main critique is about business sustainability -- it's true that there are many articles about AI on IP issues or ethics but he is unique in actually crunching the numbers on profit.

The data has to go across PCI / USB to get to the internal (tiny) SRAM. It's not a good choice for clustering, you should just use a GPU for that.

FUTO is an organization dedicated to developing, both through in-house engineering and investment, technologies that frustrate centralization and industry consolidation. Through a combination of in-house engineering projects, targeted investments, generous grants, and multi-media public education efforts, we will free technology from the control of the few and recreate the spirit of freedom, innovation, and self-reliance that underpinned the American tech industry only a few decades ago. Our principles are here: https://www.futo.org/about/what-is-futo/

There is consensus today that social media is broken. At FUTO we aim to fix this. In this role you will act as product owner of Polycentric (https://gitlab.futo.org/polycentric/polycentric), our open-source decentralized social network that also forms the basis of FUTO ID. Additionally you will also provide support for our next generation social media project.

I work for FUTO, does it just need to be somewhere in the Download section? I'll see if I can get this added if so.

FUTO | Austin, TX | On-site / Hybrid / Remote | Full Time / Hourly

FUBS is our self-hosted programming system (including it's own programming language) that practices radical incompatibility with the existing software stack: https://gitlab.futo.org/eron/public/-/wikis/FUBS We are hiring a software engineer to help us develop an overlay network: https://futo.org/jobs/software-engineer-networking and have a general opportunity post for highly independent engineers: https://futo.org/jobs/senior-software-engineer-general-oppor...

FUTO is also hiring for hourly engineering roles on the revolutionary cross-platform video streaming app Grayjay https://grayjay.app/

Recommendation Engine Developer - Grayjay aims to introduce a feature that recommends creators/videos to users based on their interests. The initial task involves developing an algorithm to tag channels in a way that correlates them with similar channels. https://futo.org/jobs/recommendation-engine-developer-grayja...

FCast Developer - We seek to create an open source casting protocol for wide adoption. Some work has already been done (see https://fcast.org/). You can help bring FCast to a wide developer audience by making libraries for multiple languages and are interested in bringing FCast to new platforms (Roku, AppleTV, TizenOS, WebOS, …). https://futo.org/jobs/fcast-developer-grayjay

To apply, send your resume and cover letter to jobs at futo dot org with the subject of the position you're interested in.

When I asked a similar question of a VC that's invested in manufacturing they recommended I tour factories and ask what their painpoints are.

That advice makes sense if we're talking about 800B+ parameter models that require a gigantic investment of capital and time. For models that fit on a consumer GPU you're leaving chips on the table to not take advantage of training / fine-tuning. It's just too easy and powerful not to.

"Build, don't train" is poor advice for a prospective "AI Engineer" title. It should be "Know when to reach for a new model architecture, know when to reach for fine-tuning / LoRA training, know when to use an API." Only relying on an API will drastically reduce your product differentiation, to say nothing of the fact that any AI Engineer worth that title should know how to build and train models.

Do you have any recommendations on libraries for parsing CAN with Rust (or are your tools OSS)? I'll be working on a project in a couple of months that'll need to pull data off CAN.

The article's thesis is that EA's moral realism stance (which finds it's apotheosis in utilitarian moral calculus) is ill-supported and highly questionable, especially when combined with theological anti-realism.

It's definitely not written to win over any EA supporter, that's for sure.

I highly recommend Feser's Aristotle's Revenge that's mentioned in the article. Very much dismantles the pervasive materialist attitude.

The study only checks for myocarditis diagnosis codes 1-7 days after vaccination. That's a very short timeframe... We have multiple months worth of data at this point, I wonder what happens to the incidence rate at longer timelines.

Do you love? Do you dance? Do you desire? Do you rage? Do you weep? Do you choose? Every moment of your existence you exert your will on the world.

A denial of will is a denial of humanity. I want nothing of a science that would do such a thing.

Certainly we can say our ML models are becoming more general in the sense of being able to cross-correlate between multiple domains. This is quite a different story than "becoming a general intelligence." Intelligence is a property of a being with will. These models, and machines in general, do not posses will. It is we who define their form, their dataset, their loss function, etc. There is no self-generation that marks an intelligent being because there is no self there at all.

It is only the case that ML expands our own abilities, augments our own intelligence.
