Elon Musk posted a link to an open letter that's now a 404. Here is the wayback machine copy, so take it with several grains of salt https://web.archive.org/web/20231121225252/https://gist.github.com/Xe/32d7bc436e401f3323ae77e7e242f858 quote:11/21/2023

Any of you nerds have to remember the diminishing returns on hardware investments from the day you used to install steel in racks. Only the big boys even think bout it now. Every minute those servers get used for something RIGHT NOW is the only financial option; even if it's just turning it into write down paper.

I truly hate how pervasive advertising is and how increasingly difficult it is to avoid it so this caught my eye https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2023/11/21/23970122/nfl-amazon-black-friday-new-york-jets-miami-dolphins-sports-business The NFL and Amazon Are Coming for Black Friday … and Your Holiday Spending What happens when one of the world’s largest retail giants joins forces with the NFL on the biggest shopping day of the year? It could change the future of live sports advertising for good. Basically, Amazon is sort of morphing the broadcast of an NFL game with interactive ads, which to me sounds eerily like a genuine look into the future; not just for sports but for pretty much any content. Video websites already do this to some extent and so do some websites for that matter. I can't imagine a scenario where this doesn't become more common quote:The NFL’s latest “Look at me” stunt will occur this week, when the New York Jets host the Miami Dolphins in the league’s first game on Black Friday. The game will be available exclusively on streaming through Amazon Prime Video, allowing anyone with an Amazon account to watch football while they virtually window shop. I already hate the idea of "Black Friday", how cheesy it is and what it's become. I cringe when people say it and when we get inundated with videos of stampeding mobs at a Best Buy. This is next level poo poo. Also, not for nothing, but Amazon's TNF streams are loving terrible and routinely suffer from buffering issues. I thought it was just my device/connection but apparently not. The only way to really watch is to pause the game and let the broadcast load up a bit then FF it. This has really laid bare for just how many ads are in an NFL game though. I can pause it for 45 minutes then sit down to watch it and be caught up to the live feed in no time - one main reason I watch less football these days. Oddly, I didn't experience any buffering or delays during any of the commercials the few times I've tried to watch a game.

The ads can be precached via CDNs that are basically right next to you, network speaking, so it's not surprising that they're working better imo. No one needs to send the lotto balls to unclog the series of tubes for them. That said, this is basically just "would you like to know more?" and sort of an obvious evolution in where technology has been heading, it's not a big surprise to me at least.

EoinCannon posted:SBF showed that looking like poo poo attracts massive investment You can probably trace the origins of this back to at least Steve Jobs. He never looked like poo poo the same way SBF did/does, but he certainly rejected the corporate dress code of the 1980s by sticking with jeans and turtlenecks. There are probably even earlier examples than that, but he's the earliest tech leader that I can think of that eschewed any expectations of appearances. And mimicked very successfully by Elizabeth Holmes quite recently, I'd add.

Another fairly hilarious, uplifting, Tesla in Europe update:quote:• Swedish postal workers on Monday stopped making deliveries to Tesla offices and repair shops on Monday, in support of a strike launched by the union IF Metall over the electric carmaker’s refusal to sign a collective wage agreement. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/23/elon-musk-decries-strikes-as-swedish-workers-take-on-tesla It'd be great if this got coverage in US states with Tesla factories, show the workers the real benefits of unions.

They managed to teach the "AI" how to do some elementary school level maths. Yes, in 2023 a computer was finally able to maths.

Jaxyon posted:What's this "Ooops we accidentally created skynet" poo poo around the Altman firing? LLMs are basically a trick. They don't understand anything. If you ask it "what is 1 +1" they don't calculate 2, they simply lookup "2" is the most common following character to that string input. So they can't solve maths they haven't seen before because they aren't really solving anything. This apparently can. It's very basic maths and seems to require a huge amount of resources. But it could be a big step in this area of AI. We know very little about it though, people are assuming it's an LLM but it could be a different type of AI altogether. I say could because this might all be hype from a company that has now made it very clear it is for profit. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Nov 24, 2023 |

So they can't solve maths they haven't seen before because they aren't really solving anything. If this does what they say it does, that's pretty big news. LLMs right now are basically just glorified auto-complete, so I haven't been taking them very seriously so far, but if this works the way they claim, it could be a pretty significant breakthrough. Definitely gonna need to see some hard evidence first though.
