The are valued at $170 Billion. Not quite the same as, but in same order of magnitude as OpenAI - while having only a single digit percent fraction of active users. They probably need to prepare for the eventual user data sellout, as it is becoming increasingly more obvious that none of the big players has a real and persistent tech leadership anymore. But millions and millions of users sharing their deepest thoughts and personal problems is gonna be worth infinitely more than all the average bot bullshit written on social media. That's also why Zuck is so incredibly desperate to get into the game. It's not about owning AI. It's about owning the world's thoughts and attention.

Anthropic enterprise share is pretty significant - on order of 30%. I think at this time it's pretty significant.

I am expecting AI companies to start using ads, it's inevitable as they need to make money at some point and $20 a month won't do it.

For ads the number of users is the main thing - the more users you have the bigger the market and more money you could earn. Google desperately needs to be in this space, that's why they are throwing a ton of money on AI.

> new models to date have cost more than the previous ones to create

This largely was the case in software in the '80s-'10s (when versions largely disappeared) and still is the case in hardware. iPhone 17 will certainly cost far more to develop than did iPhone 10 or 5. iPhone 5 cost far more than 3G, etc.

I don't think it's the case if you take inflation into account.

You could see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/16dr1kb/oc...

new ones are generally cheaper if adjusted for inflation. This is a sale price, but assuming that margins stay the same it should reflect the manufacturing price. And from what I remember about apple earnings their margins increased over time, so it means the new phones are even cheaper. Which kind of makes sense.

Will these companies ever stop training new models? What does it mean if we get there. Feels like they will have to constantly train and improve the models, not sure what that means either. What ncremental improvements can these models show?

Another question is - will it ever become less costly to train?

Let to see opinions from someone in the know

Romario77 · a day ago

current way the models works is that they don't have memory, it's included in training (or has to be provided as context).

So to keep up with times the models have to be constantly trained.

One thing though is that right now it's not just incremental training, the whole thing gets updated - multiple parameters and how the model is trained is different.

This might not be the case in the future where the training could become more efficient and switch to incremental updates where you don't have to re-feed all the training data but only the new things.

I am simplifying here for brevity, but I think the gist is still there.

Apart from the “—“, what else gives it away? Just asking from a non-native perspective.

It's just too bombastic for what it is - listing some equations with brief explanation and implementation.

If you don't know these things on some level already the post doesn't give you too much (far from 95%), it's a brief reference of some of the formulas used in machine learning/AI.

It was a significant progress, but I won't call it "nailed it". As there was an damage or explosion on re-entry where the skirt of the starship got damaged. And we could see pretty significant damage on one of the fins.

Nailing it would be without the things above.

You can see the male quick disconnect fittings for the liquid cooling at each corner of the server in this photo:

Looks like the power connector is in the centre. I'm not sure if backplane connectors are covered up by orange plugs?

Romario77 · 4 days ago

it's not the center one, it's the side ones. Center seems to be a power supply.

From the CEO's response:

> On January 24, 2025, security researchers from Kudelski Security disclosed a vulnerability to us through our Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP). The researchers identified that Rubocop, one of our tools, was running outside our secure sandbox environment—a configuration that deviated from our standard security protocols.

Honestly, that last part sounds like a lie. Why would one task run in a drastically different architectural situation, and it happen to be the one exploited?

Romario77 · 10 days ago

because researchers from Kudelski Security most likely tried different static analysis tools and they didn't work the way Rubocop did.

They don't write the details of how they got to this particular tool - you could also see from the article they tried a different approach first.

Using basic types for domain concepts is called 'primitive obsession'. It's been considered code smell for at least 25 years. So this would be... not being primitive obsessed. It isn't anything driven development.

Different people draw the line in different places for this. I've never tried writing code that takes every domain concept, no matter how small, and made a type out of it. It's always been on my bucket list though to see how it works out. I just never had the time or in-the-moment inclination to go that far.

Romario77 · a month ago

I think often times it's enough to have enums for known ints, for example and have some parameter checking for ranges when known.

Some languages like C++ made a contracts concept where you could make these checks more formal.

As some people indicated the auto casting in many languages could make the implementation of these primitive based types complicated and fragile and provide more nuisance than it provides value.

I would have added some more things that you could have mitigated - like lowering your sail to half mast after the wind increase. Or only using the jib or even switching to engine power.

Which in the context of incident prevention translates into adapting to what is happening and maintaining the safety profile to prevent the incident.

Half mast sale - less force on the mast, more time to react to things when going solo.
