There is no possible way that the current level of money-burning can be sustained for anything _like_ that long. I'd say if major players don't start showing a profit on this stuff within a year or so, the bubble will become unsustainable.

Check out how much money gets burned and how much money companies like Microsoft and Google actually make.

The problem with 4k, which 99% of people only experience as a stream, is that it's over-compressed. A 1080p BluRay is 36 Mbit.

Netflix 4k is 15 Mbit.

So unless I see people mentioning the media, I am always weary of the comparison.

bloedsinnig · a year ago
I have watched plenty of movies from a bluray.

Nonetheless, i do think that compression from a high res source looks different / sharper.

Given the amount of money being pumped into it, it has a pretty short expected lifespan if it doesn't get good fast. Promises of jam tomorrow will only go so far.

What we do right now is to introduce it to the whole ecosystem. This costs money.

AI / ml will not go away anymore.

And the money we pumpe into it? Doesn't matter. Our tech companies and VCs have enough money to pump into

Well I actually think it's a good idea. A lot of people scoff at not having a real house/apartment or address, but I don't see why. As long as you can basically take care of yourself, living in a car should be totally feasible. We need to embrace more alternative living situations anyway such as tiny houses and minimalism because everyone owning big properties just isn't sustainable for our population.

There is a difference between 'totally feasable' and 'inhuman and stupid'.

Its totally feasable in an emergency situation or if you just want to live like this.

But otherwise? its not okay. Peple want save spaces. A toilet at night, a bed. And not random poeple looking into your car and not shitting on the side of a street.

It doesn't has to be good yet.

We just started adding AI to every aspect of products. Things like this takes time.

And in my company it adds already value. In another company we can now do tasks we were unable to do before. It increases data quality by a relevant amount. Hard to determine a ROI for things like this.

It's insufficient for large theaters and barely sufficient for medium theaters. 1080p is plenty for most home theaters (though with the so-so quality of streaming, I wonder to what degree macroblocks are the new pixels)
bloedsinnig · a year ago
1080p looks different to 4k. Just because its 'plenty' doesn't mean 4k doesn't matter.

And we are at 2024, i own a 4k lg oled display now for years. Why not leverage it? Just because 1080p is 'plenty'?

"8K video recording" - does anyone really need this? Seems like for negligible gain in quality people are pushed to sacrifice their storage & battery, and so upgrade their hardware sooner...
bloedsinnig · a year ago
Yes why not?

Different use cases exist:

Record 8k text and you could zoom in and read things. Record 8k and crop withot quality loss or 'zoom' in

Does everyone need this? Probably not but we are on hn not at a coffee party

I miss RAM. I feel like if you lived through that 90s RAM frenzy, you probably miss RAM too. It was crazy how quickly we move through SDRAM/DDR, prices dropped and you could make real increases in performance year over year for not much money. I'm sure some of it was the software being able to capture the hw improvements, but that certainly was my fav period in tech so far.

I started late but i rememeber when i upgraded my system with an additional 64mb stick, i was able to reduce the GTA 3 Loadtime between one island to another from 20 seconds to 1.

And at that time i also learned how critical it was to check your ram for errors. I reinstalled win98 and windows 2000 so often until i figured this out.

I don't think that's correct. This looks like a new model. Significant jump in math and gpqa scores.

I would assume that 3.5 means that the base training (which takes weeks/month) wasn't changed but only finetuning happened.

Why not rev the numbers? "3.5" vs. "3.5 New" feels weird -- is there a particular reason why Anthropic doesn't want to call this 3.6 (or even 3.5.1)?
bloedsinnig · a year ago
Because its a finetune of 3.5 optimized for the use case of computer use.

Its actually accurate and its not a 3.6.
