New comment by hendler in "Global warming has accelerated significantly"

The question is not if the commenter is an expert, but if they are correct.

The claim that some models didn't take larger systems into account is also because an expert in the arctic wasn't an expert in oceans. And the expert in biodiversity isn't an expert in food supply chains. Expertise isn't the question. Instead it is - do all of us who are non experts (all of us) have enough expert data to have a systemic understanding of an accelerating trend?

Useful for embedded devices? Crashes, disk updates not important for ephemeral process?

Since this is open source, it's a white-hat tool, but it also democratizes script kiddos being able to do some serious damage.

It's happening everywhere, all at once. I guess who owns the most hardware wins the arms race?

HTML was XML for the web. Nothing to it from a technical perspective.

Google TPUs, Amazon, a YC funded ASIC/FPGA company, a Chinese Co. all have custom hardware too that might scale well.

Is this because 405b doesn't fit on Groq? If they perform better, I would also have liked to have seen.

New comment by hendler in "Vector databases are the wrong abstraction"

hendler — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 15:35:03 +0000

Seems like a nice abstraction.

Since I see DuckDB mentioned, folks wanting serverless may also be interested in LanceDB, written in Rust, with most features built out for Python.

Side note, I wrote a proof of concept of embeddings generator being handled inside PostgreSQL, independent of the index.

New comment by hendler in "Wild animals are spiraling to extinction. Can a bunch of bureaucrats save them?"

hendler — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 22:11:21 +0000

Your answer is part of why I am concerned. Maybe new incentives or leverage can be created. Giving AI the power to create new social dynamics seems both too dangerous and necessary.

hendler — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 19:49:35 +0000

I care a lot about the environment, and worked in climate tech for 7 years. I also am very hopeful for AI's contributions.

When we say that AI will help save the environment, I can see short term gains in things like nuclear energy expansion and improvement, better educational opportunities, robotic labor and other efficiency automations, etc. On ecosystems and biodiversity, I don't see a clear path.

AI can improve our understanding, but a systems collapse requires very complex bio-chemical systems that are all interdependent. Maybe we all live in bubbles of AI controlled environments post Holocene, but we rely on larger earth systems that will be difficult to rebuild post collapse.

Does anyone else worry that AI will not be rapid or sufficiently impactful to deal with ecosystem collapse?
