but where do we draw the line? Would 39% be okay? and who's gonna draw the line and enforce it?

I hope this is not a serious argument. This deal is OOM larger than other deals

There's nothing dirty about this deal. When making a large deal with one vendor he didn't disclose to them that he was making a deal with another vendor. That's pretty normal when you're trying to buy a lot of stuff. Otherwise, they can collude to shake you down.

I'm not thrilled about this genre of "guy I don't like does totally normal thing so it's bad". It's too engagement baity.

EDIT: Though even that may be wrong. TechCrunch reports that it was a joint meeting between the South Korean President, the heads of the two companies, and Sam Altman. I won't claim that TC is the bible but there's lots of stuff being reported that makes no sense, and this is a good deal for both these companies so it's more believable than news from someone that OpenAI is going to buy a bunch of wafers and stick it in a warehouse.

It's bad for consumers period. A deal that hampers 40% of global supply shouldn't be a thing, it's predatory. I know DRAM is not a necessity, but considering that PCs are going to be affected means this affects real things like schools and hospitals. There's being smart while making a deal and there's knee-capping the market with your leveraged to the tits business

I wrote Problem 371, https://projecteuler.net/problem=371 , as a high school student in 2012!

I'm so happy to have spent twenty years of my life learning math and solving problems on Project Euler and elsewhere.

This is one of my favourite problems, I still remember that it has a very real edge case even though I solved it more than 10 years ago. Thank you for the problem!

The non-thinking version is the best writer by far. Excited for this one! They really cooked some different from other frontier labs.

Thats because those demos probably use parallel decoding. In principle, dLLM inference is slower since you have to do bidirectional generation over the whole generation window for each diffusion step. Example; you unmask one token in the 128 window for 128 diffusion steps to generate the full window.

What is parallel decoding?

Ollama is more than a paste. But the support for GLM 4.6 is indeed coming from llama.cpp: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/12505#issuecomment-3...

I don’t know how much Ollama contributes to llama.cpp

That's on me, I came in hot and you came back hotter. Apologies.

Let me take the temp down and ask it a different way. You don't feel weird saying there is an epidemic happening to our kids (again, something I’m at least partially convinced of), but we can't really put together a narrative one-tenth as cohesive as what we have for the efficacy of gray-market/off-label Ozempic?

am17an · 3 months ago
I don't feel weird about it because it's a trillion dollar business, and it's in their best interests to muddy the waters regarding any cohesive argument. But when you just look at these things from first principles, boasting about 1 billion hours of shorts watched in a month or something ridiculous like that, AI generated content on loop, teens/adults getting into status/envy games on these platforms, the "connection" aspect looks like a very small positive.

I don't think your example of off-label Ozempic is isomorphic - the more apt comparison is one I already gave: Why did it take us 30 years to realize cigarettes cause 400k deaths a year? The answer is because there was simply huge amounts of money involved.
