I don't get it why TSMC doesn't use it's market power to increase their margins. The article was very light on the why. Any one else who has an idea why they don't abuse their monopoly?

Statistically significant does not necessarily mean practically significant. If you just increase your sample size sufficiently, you can measure a significant effect, despite having a small magnitude of the measured effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(statistics)#:~:text=Sta...

That's a great user case. Am sorry using parakeet but sometimes it garbles up things. Can you open source it?

For me personally TV, is too low signal to noise ratio. I am probably not the right target user. :(

Slightly off-topic: There is just too much content in this world... How to know what is important and relevant? Imo that's the main question. I'd rather have access to nothing except a carefully curated stream of relevant news. Hackernews is somewhat working but a bit too restricted and also not perfect.

Which harness?

Yes. You and some random indigenous guy in the Amazon likely share the same intelligence but you are more capable because you have access to writing/reading, computer, car etc. Intelligence is more than raw intelligence. It's harness, skills, tools, memory etc. If you improve all the latter but keep the raw intelligence (LLM) fixed, you certainly get better results. Same with us humans.

New comment by fittingopposite in "I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit"

fittingopposite — Thu, 28 May 2026 06:21:13 +0000

Agree. You have these tipping points when a model is good enough to do some task. Yes, a better model will further improve your capabilities but the unlock is at a certain intelligence level. We see this also with humans. People with very low intelligence can't learn to read. Once you cross a certain threshold of intelligence you can learn to read. More intelligence doesn't really help you in the task of reading. A person with an IQ of 160 is not substantially better in reading than someone with an IQ of 85. If your IQ is 50, you might not be able to learn to read at all.

New comment by fittingopposite in "Memory has grown to nearly two-thirds of AI chip component costs"

fittingopposite — Mon, 25 May 2026 03:05:51 +0000

> either by manufacturing scaling or just waiting for the current rate of manufacturing to fill the demand spike

Or the more likely scenario that the AI bubble bursts and the hyperscalars realize they have built too many data centers.

fittingopposite — Mon, 25 May 2026 03:02:05 +0000

No it's not about interesting supply. The logic is that the demand will just plummet when the general economic situation turns because we have over provisioned the datacenters

Really wondering what this might mean for local LLMs when RAM costs plummet...

Got me curious, how does TSMC price their products? Why don't they optimize for their own profitability?

Very interesting and thoughtful comment. I agree. When demand from hyperscalars drops rapidly after the tide goes out and everyone realizes that they can't continue building out the data centers, then fabs will be left with overcapacity that will flood the market. Wondering what this will mean for local LLMs when good RAM is available for cheap?
