If only the first layer of windshield was damaged how is the pilot getting hit by shrapnel

Sir this is a Wendy’s

I'm not a mod or anything so you can of course ignore me, but might I suggest that this doesn't align with the HN guidelines on commenting and that it would be great if you took a look at them :)

> Small companies can have downsides, and big companies can have benefits. A virtue of scale is that it can provide resilience in an age of crisis.

Nassim Taleb would argue the polar opposite of this.

I like the article. Starting to make assertions about benefits seems premature.

This has been developing for a while... The big players have basically been competing for allocations of a set production, so NVIDIA negotiated into the allocations that some % of the compute capacity they "sell" them is reserved and exclusively leased back to NVIDIA.

So now NVIDIA has a whole bunch of cloud infrastructure hosted by the usual suspects that they can use for the same type of business the usual suspects do.

well played tbh

I hate to be cynical, but I've seen such leaseback schemes used to inflate sales. Is that the case here? Or is there enough demand or legit usage to justify this kind of arrangement?

It's just another kind of leverage. There's no problem, until there is, and then it's bigger than it would have been. Once all of their sales are leasebacks, you'll know it's about to go boom (of course they won't announce that in their reports).

reductionist view can be applied to what we call "thinking" and "intelligence" too. When I'm asked a question, my brain is also just picking a suitable sequence of words based on my experience (training). Talking is what we consider part of thinking, something only "intelligent" creatures can do.

Just feels like a lot of coping from people that don't want to let go of our concept of "intelligence superiority" or w/e you want to call it.

The end game of this will be them wild-eyed in front of a string-crossed cork board, claiming they've found the one thing human brains can do that AI can't, so it's not thinking it's just x,y,z.

not a web person - why does the original approach not have the CORS problem? Isn't it still generating the request from the same local machine?

CORS is enforced by the client, the web browser.

       Browser security blocks cross-origin
       requests (CORS is browser-only!)

The bottle app presumably uses some python library like Requests. It wouldn't care about CORS.

makes sense, thank you. How'd you generate the diagrams so quickly?

My pleasure. Claude 3.5 Sonnet made the diagrams after 3 rounds of prompting.

LLM's are surprisingly good at making diagrams in monospaced ascii or MermaidJS.

Also not a web person, but my guess is that the bottle app makes the requests from the "server" end, so even though you're accessing the app in your browser, the browser is only communicating with the local app server and thus isn't in the way to enforce CORS.

you're right mostly, person above even created a nice diagram

Can't compete with that!

Denoting it in $ for efficiency is peak capitalism, cmv.

TPUs are essentially garbage compared to NVIDIA hardware. TPUs are king of nothing, but a primary ingredient in Kool-Aid

Not a meaningful amount :). Their “AI chips” are, for now, marketing.

From what I know, Meta AI chips are used in production today, but are made for their recommendations tasks which is a very different IA than GPTs and LLMs for which they still rely on GPUs.

There is nothing of value in this article

How come?

I find it fascinating -- it's a short article, but says concisely that there are delays observed in pulsar's pulses and they think there are dense concentrations of matter passing in front. But we don't know what they are. This is _fascinating_.
