@siracusa @atpfm The H800s that DeepSeek trained on are technically newer than the H100, what’s important is that they’ve been handicapped with added constraints on memory bandwidth.

@caseyliss @atpfm Not that you needed this, but inflation is half the difference between your last car purchase and what you said you expect you’d pay for an EV (I think you’re overestimating on the cost of an EV equivalent to your last car)

@atpfm @siracusa Already a paper in response: "The Illusion of the Illusion of Thinking"

@atpfm @siracusa regarding accidental input: the solution of this problem used to be having a folio case that would lock the phone when it closed. I’m so upset that Apple got rid of this feature back around the 12. But it just used the com…

@atpfm I don’t think the “pre populate phone data” idea was so crazy. They wouldn’t restore the data decrypted, they’d just put the encrypted data from iCloud servers onto the iPhone, and you’d be decrypting it on first unlock.
Apple could…
@atpfm @siracusa listened to your overtime on the Apple paper.
It's great Apple is investigating AI limits, as you said, but the paper seems to mistake "learned restraint" for a reasoning failure. The model is specifically trained never to…
@marcoarment I didn’t know there was even an option to remove time slider on Lock Screen. Thanks.
I wouldn’t need this if they hadn’t gotten rid of folio detection on iPhones a few generations back.
@atpfm I am a 37 year old dad, and I did stop carrying a wallet around 2020. My drivers license is inside my iPhone case (it’s not a wallet case, card is literally inside the case).

@marcoarment @atpfm I bought an Ioniq 6, and it’s very nice, but if you like single pedal driving it’s super annoying, you can’t turn it on by default. It resets any time you take it out of Drive. Ioniq 5 has the same software afaik

@atpfm @siracusa for me the biggest reason not to switch my Photos library to JPEG XL is right out of the previous chapter! They’re all copied into the library from the same disk, so I’d actually need more space afterwards since it would b…
