<p>I still feel that even though AI can code 1000x faster than me, I still feel at the end my code is better.<p>Even though the images it makes are amazing, I still feel like human work is better.<p>But suno ai produces music so beautiful I have never heard the likes of it in my life. It is truly superhuman in the beauty.<p>This song is literally the most beautiful song I have heard in my life and I just prompted it once and got it.<p>I played piano as a lod for years and years and heard all the best pieces… nothing comes close to this.<p>The careful touch of each note is just… perfect. the stacato, pedal, legato, horn… its just perfect, i have nevwr heard anything like it.<p><a href="https://suno.com/s/pcuPXOd7SE2rON4a" rel="nofollow">https://suno.com/s/pcuPXOd7SE2rON4a</a></p>

<p>Actually they wouldnt spend the money if it were cheaper.<p>HBM has way higher bandwidth and its not all about flops.<p>Also the FP4 flops (inference) are so mind bogglingly high on these things.<p>Lastly what you fail to consider is the chip to chip bandwidth which is critical.<p>the people running these know that networking is just as critical.<p>all reduce etc.<p>they wouldnt pay if they could get something better value.</p>

<p>Ok heres the thing you will nevwr be able to truly do this due to logic.<p>Logically five people pooling their resources beats one guy.<p>therefore datacenters will always win because they get higher time utilization.<p>so forget it.<p>I always wonder the same but i let logic tell me its a fantasy, on average you cant outspend a whole group of people making better use of the hardware.<p>you will get better hardware though, cutting edge will always be cloud</p>

<p>Yes its a huge deal because these are starting to get bound by memory bandwidth not compute. therefore one bit wirfhts stream way faster leading to substantially better results. At least thats what Id guess!</p>

<p>I for one am glad they did it because I felt like it was a little bit... I just felt the company as big as Google, it felt wrong for them to be piggybacking off VS Code.<p>I know it was MIT license, but honestly, I feel better knowing that they're making their own product. So, you know, it goes both ways. I think they did the right thing to migrate off Microsoft's code just out of respect.</p>

<p>I would be very pleased if Zuckerberg got away with it.  I don't copyright or infringe, but honestly, he was the one guy of the big guys who released everything as open source.<p>If he did the right thing, then we should all support his choice to use it under fair use.<p>Freedom means that the state shouldn't punish a public benefactor.<p>It makes me furious to see programmers fighting against an open source hero.<p>If it was closed source for Meta profit, I understand.<p>But they gave it away free, so it infuriates me that people support damages for a public benefactor.<p>Churches and schools get free money from the government. We need a rule that open AI (not the company, I mean the actuality), can torrent whatever they want because it's for the public good.<p>Otherwise the rich companies win and can pay their sources and the small guys are screwed.<p>If Meta has to pay for their training data, they will need to profit from it and won't be able to offer it free.<p>Nobody in their right mind would ever support the publishers here.</p>

<p>Guys I'm from Texas and I want to share something with you all, my friends I've made here on the internet from my heart.<p>I think all of us are a bit sad now that AI has essentially removed what it means to be a coder.<p>There will never again be the time like we had, the golden age of being a nerd.  We nerds had it all, and then we destroyed it by making something too smart!<p>As a Texan, it's kind of like cowboys.  Coders were wrangling the computer, but now we have been replaced by industry and mechanics.<p>Having read the twitter post, it was raw and honest, and I want to share some ideas about life that I feel are relevant.<p>The first one is that when you work, you should always do something you believe in, because nobody can take that away from you.<p>If you worked for the money, or because someone told you you could be a part of a cool team, your whole world falls apart when you get let go.<p>But if you work because you truly believe your work is worthwhile, you will always be glad you did it.<p>I feel that people on here continually complain about capitalism and how bad corporations are.  I challenge all you all to check yourself and ask what are you doing to be a part of the system.  If you go accept employment at a 9-5, you are part of the system and making it stronger.<p>I have always refused to have a job.  At age 32, I have only ever worked at one company as an employee, and that only for a short time, and the person was a genuine friend of mine.<p>I ask each person here to quit working at a company.  I think all of us should choose to only ever work at a nonprofit.<p>Fundamentally Capitalism can't be defeated if we complain and then try to negotiate the biggest salary or benefits.<p>It's logically stupid for us to be saying they are evil, when we do the exact same thing with a salary.<p>Instead, each of us should work at a nonprofit, and we should NEVER accept a salary but instead ask them to give to us when they have something left over.<p>Ultimately, friends, I chose to tell my boss one day (the guy I ended up being an employee at his small company for for a bit), that I didn't want a salary, just donate if you want.<p>Ever since then, I have been happy.<p>I hated life when I worked for money.  But now, I love it.  I have gotten to code on many fun projects, but for the first time I felt alive.<p>It was terrifying with a wife, a kid and a mortgage to say that.  But I am a true believer that the universe, or God has a plan for everyone, and that if you stop worrying and doing what you are told, and just go out and love people, it will all work out.<p>What I found is that the pay you get working for free is better than the pay you could ever get with money.<p>You can finally live with yourself when you just love everybody, every day.<p>If you pay me, and I did great work, you will never know if I love you.  But if I did it for free, for all of eternity, you will know that you know that I care about you.  And that, to me, is worth more than all the money in the world.<p>That's why I never accept a salary when I work.  I just let people give as they feel fit.<p>Yes, it is hard, and it doesn't always feel fun. But it is 1000X worth it.<p>Thank you for reading, God bless you and have a great day!</p>

<p>I think cursor is worth literally $0.<p>It is a complete rip off of someone else’s work vs code and is literally no better than copilot.<p>Makes me mad it’s even allowed to be a commercial company ripping off vs code.<p>It is a completely idiotic purchase. Literally one person could recreate the entire IDE themselves… like it’s so easy to make.<p>And there’s no brand loyalty to it because people want the best llm they don’t care about the little plugin so no moat</p>

<p>all right, I am doing a sort of a copy-on-write thing here. So the idea is that I only want to update the pointer if the record it points to is "unlocked"</p>

<p>Guys/gals, I was thinking about doing some work here and I noticed there's no operation that allows a atomic compare/exchange based on the last bit.<p>There should be an instruction that allows you to do an update of a 64 bit value only if the last bit is a 0.<p>The idea here is you would be able to swap pointer values atomically only if they were unlocked.<p>2^63 is such a huge number, it is sufficient to represent practically all the data in the universe.  If we allowed an atomic compare exchange on the last bit, or something like check if the last bit is 0, allow the write, otherwise don't, it would make programming a lot easier.<p>Thanks!</p>
