How do you know how much effort they're putting in? If they're making stuff up then they're not useful, I think the labs want their models to be useful.

I mean, I wouldn't buy this one, but I see the use case. A lot of reading (code, webpages) is done vertically, it's helpful to have more vertical real estate in a typical form factor.

I'm not sure about robustness, would have to wait and see tests.

The magnitudes make it s.t. it doesn't really matter, I think.

Don't think it's a flex, I think it's useful context for the rest of their comment.

> I and every other smart person I know still use ChatGPT (paid) because even now it's the best

My smart friends use a mixture of models, including chatgpt, claude, gemini, grok. Maybe different people, it's ok, but I really don't think chatgpt is head and shoulders above the others.

I'm opening up my app right now, and I see none of this. Granted I'm a recent installer (this week), and all I've followed are tech/ml based lists. But it is a much quieter place than twitter.

The major accounts from twitter are not on bluesky, but I don't care for vitriol or meme replies (all of which are much higher on twitter). That being said, twitter still has a lot of interesting people, who are the main reason to continue using the site.

Ask HN: Alternatives to ChatGPT with Open Models?

daveed — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 15:55:55 +0000

I use the big 3 chatbots already. Since there seem to be a lot of interest and movement in the open weight world (llama and alternatives), and also companies that support inference, I'm wondering if there are any services that cobble together their own llm chatbots? Or are there resources where I can find some of the projects others (either individuals or small companies) have put together?

I'm not a Googler, but would still ask commenters to show some respect for the person who died, and save your opinions about youtube for another day.

The recent MIT period of dominance correlates very well with professor who is coaching the team there.

^ Just pointing out, the parent didn't say NP-hard or -complete, so they weren't wrong (but could be misunderstood). But saying Quantum doesn't help for NP isn't right either.

Isn't binance going away? Feels like they're going under heavy pressure and are getting restricted everywhere.

> I believe much of the people that are going back for whatever reason never planned to stay

But why do you believe that? You're asking for the article to prove that isn't the case, and I'm asking in all earnestness, what is the argument that it would be the case?

> I don't think the US is better off with foreign nationals that seek education in the US but have no desire to get permanent residency

I don't think this comment draws the distinction between people who came here without long-term plans, and people who came here and left because they felt they would not be welcome long-term.

Not that I love the ads, but bad ads might not be the main or only reason that people are leaving twitter.

daveed — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 15:36:05 +0000

This story kind of misses the point, and there's a whole lot that goes into "try" and "try harder".

Not everyone can do anything, but I think any individual person can do a lot. But are they trying and are they thinking about how they're trying?

New comment by daveed in "The tiny corp raised $5.1M"

daveed — Thu, 25 May 2023 01:02:35 +0000

I don't want to cast any judgement, I just want to ask what the initial product is. The claim is they sell computers, and there's a link to the tinybox. There's a $100 preorder, for a 15k computer (I guess I'd have to pay 14.9k eventually?).

And then we get a computer that... how do I interact with it? Will it have its own OS? Some flavor of linux? Is the intent to work on it directly, or use it as an inference server, and talk over a network?
