That ship has sailed on the web a long time ago.

You can't have good performance without good DevX. There's a reason why we get a new python dsl for nvidia GPUs every week.

lol, are they doing stochastic invoicing?

Well the cheapest crap fans are almost free, Noctua fans are certainly not free. So the added cost is the entire price of a Noctua fan.

Because someone might argue blender is taking funding from an entity that wants to make proficient blender users obsolete.

Or it might allow proficient blender users to become more productive, resulting in higher detailed scenes for the same budget.

We'll see how it shakes out. As a non-proficient Blender user, I'm kinda keen on this since I have had a lot of ideas that I haven't been able to realize in Blender.

So reducing budgets and suppressing wages then, what a great deal for the workers who have specialised in this field and who's work and effort the LLM has been trained on to replace them!

This is like arguing we should only have manual looms because the mechanical looms suppress wages and destroy the livelihoods of those expert loom operators.

The tech is here. We can fight it, or adapt and embrace it.

If previous examples from the industrial revolution are anything to go by, fighting automation is a losing battle.

Difference is that those tools modernised the work and actually created jobs. The ultimate aim of these AI sociopaths is to remove all work in all areas so they can hoover up all the money and let people starve.

I won't argue with that.

But, there is plenty of open source stuff out there to enable people to have their own models, running on their own hardware. Business does not need to go to the big 3.

Business doesn't need to go to the big 3, but it will. The big companies will ensure that smaller, specialised or open models get restricted by laws paid for by their lobbying budgets, so that they can pull up the ladder after them and solidify their position. They've invested billions and will never allow the world become some tech utopia where we all have a personalised free AI in our pocket, they will guarantee their own dominance.

That is not possible because that's not how money works. One way you can tell it's not possible is that it's the plot of Atlas Shrugged.

Yes. It is the worst possible match right now.

15% of US internet traffic just with text (and a few images)? I doubt it.

I want this in the classic F-77W or F-91W shell. Has this been already done neatly?

The HRM sensors are too big and need too big batteries. The popular ones even shun bluetooth to preserve battery though this feels more possible to me.

I guess it's the classic case of one not being able to outrun a bad diet.

If fueling during the activity stops you from overeating afterwards and possibly allows you to exercise a bit longer it is worth it, even though it seems counter productive.

> not being able to outrun a bad diet

Dang… I was hoping for some cheat level wisdom :)

He seems pretty damn good at both.

Also it's not just about running an obviously worse quant.

Running different GPU kernels / inference engines also matters. It's easy to write an implementation that is faster and thus cheaper but numerically much noisier / less accurate.
