Sometimes I think my opinion means nothing on these topics, especially when it's going to get buried and a thread of 500 plus comments. But I think you finally see a little bit of a flaw in the strategy or just a little bit of insight into what was desperation for relevance and to try to very quickly attain what other companies have attained but essentially what they're seeing is this gradual reduction in ambition and it's only natural for a lot of companies to overreach, but essentially realityview on HN →
The demo video (https://x.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/2033617732147810782) is even less appealing than the screenshot. The old woman at 00:20 especially looks awful!This has all the worst aspects of AI-generated faces. Unfitting high contrast lighting that doesn't match the environment, shiny plastic-looking skin, and only barely resembling the original likeness. It's like an Instagram yassification beauty filter.I'll be honest, I don't know enough to judge whether it's impressive that they can genview on HN →
I also think that this is the best approach for businesses wanting to adopt AI to automate, streamline, etc their business.The problem they have is that this is not a moat - their approach is easily reproducible.If they can pull ahead in having the most number of pre-trained models (one for this ERP, one for that CRM, etc) and then being able to close sales to companies using these products and sell them on post-trained (give us your specific ERP customisations and we'll give you access to a moview on HN →
Don't sleep on Mistral. Highly underrated as a general service LLM. Cheaper, too. Their emphasis on bespoke modelling over generalized megaliths will pay off. There are all kinds of specialized datasets and restricted access stores that can benefit from their approach. Especially in highly regulated EU.Not everyone is obsessed with code generation. There is a whole world out there.view on HN →
I don't see how OpenAI employees who have signed the We Will Not Be Divided letter can continue their employment there in light of this. Surely if OpenAI had insisted upon the same things that Anthropic had, the government would not have signed this agreement. The only plausible explanation is that there is an understanding that OpenAI will not, in practice, enforce the red lines.view on HN →
I used to report quite a number of political/ideological-only accounts to mods through email. They're explicitly against the single purpose account rule. They usually got banned or at least warned.Over the past year or two I reported a number of accounts that are basically pro-Israel-only, they post a ton of comments to any Israel-related thread and either nothing else or very little of anything else. Mods refuse to ban or even warn them, apparently because emotions run high, there are too manyview on HN →
Never heared of the site, but judging by the given creation dates, it only launched last year?Mission seems to be game archival and there is indeed a lot of stuff that likely no copyright holders care about anymore. And that is likely of value for computer historians.But in addition to that, it is also used to share modern, non-game media. One folder contains 10 different Alien (the movie franchise), two Finding Dory Blu-rays (as ~40GB zips), plus a few dozen more... I'm pretty sure stuff (piracview on HN →

As kid who grew up on anonymous boards, I never even read user names. Accounts are ephemeral and worthless. Ideas are only things that matter.view on HN →
