It has a unified memory architecture, so the 128G is shared directly between CPU and GPU. Though it's slower than dGPU VRAM.

There are two tests and by default it ranks by the score in the "offline test"

Also interesting in the example shared that 03 thought for 5 seconds for the female case and 46 seconds for the male case. Wish we had access to the chain of thought.

It's telling that companies don't want you to see what their models are thinking.

Robotics is sorely lacking front end devs and UI/UX guys. Most companies won’t hire any until they are already pretty established, but they might hire some. You can check out companies like foxglove who make GUI tools that robotics companies then pay to use.

I still think there is value in chats and retaining context. But there is also value in starting clean when necessary. Giving users control and teaching people how to use it is the way IMO.

The problem with retaining context is that it gets polluted. That pollution gets you into a latent space with errors, which probably not where you want your next token prediction to be sourced.

The reasonable alternative is a chat interface that lets you edit any text, the AI response or your prompts, and regenerate from any point. This is why I use the API "playground" interfaces or something like LibreChat. Deepseek at least has prompt editing/regeneration.

Compressing existing models is exactly what we are talking about here.

Then why wasn't OpenAI doing that themselves ?

Who says they arent?

Videos like these are so often sped up or Teleop, I don't think it's really a jab at anyone specifically, just making it clear this video is showing an Autonomous agent without any speedup.

> why announce the prototype with the lab demos?

Lol, you need to drive up hype and convince investors you are not falling behind. Not even being cynical here, I think it's a good idea from a business perspective.

It's just a joke, because Sanderson finished Wheel of Time after Robert Jordan died.

Despite Sanderson and Jordan having starkly different styles - I do think he did the series justice. Well worth reading.

While I'm glad Sanderson finished the series, I still felt there was a pretty strong change in the feeling of the story.

Until he took over, Rand was basically continuously loosing his sanity in the pursuit of power, which he needed to fight the dark one, which brought him closer to the madness, feeding the cycle.

It kept getting more urgent, things kept escalating. But Sandersons Rand never really lost control, imo. Rand's success felt preordained by his story telling, whereas previously the only thing we could expect was that Rand would go down fighting.

To be clear, I'm aware that Sanderson finished the story via Jordan's notes. But I strongly suspect he wouldn't have kept to them if he wrote it himself. I base that opinion on the fact that the series was supposed to be way shorter. I don't remember the exact number, but it was something like 6 books

Brandon Sanderson only wrote the last book though? (which he split in two because all the stuff Robert Jordan wanted to cram in would have been a ridiculous 2000+ page tome) so it was already going to be at least 11 books by Robert Jordan. FWIW the two Sanderson books are my favourite of the series (but they are also the ending so it's hard to say)

He wrote the last 3, which was indeed meant to be 1 by Jordan.

I switched because all my coworkers use VSC, just easier to have extensions like linters and goto definitions synced, we can help each other with any issues in the workflow.

Still use emacs + org mode for notes though, and spent quite a lot of time getting VSC to act like emacs in terms of shortcuts etc.

> Still use emacs + org mode for notes though,

Sounds like you didn't switch, but rather added another tool in your toolbox.

The constant comparisons to VSCode frustrate me because they're often presented as "either-or".

I use Emacs. And I use VSCode.

I can say the same for Vim... My primary editor is Emacs, but I use vim if I want to edit something quickly in the terminal (config files, git commits, etc). If the codebase is bigger then I use the JetBrains IDEs...

I installed VSCode but I just don't like it. Until today I didn't find a use case for it being added to toolbelt. But I must admit that it almost won the editor wars, people just suppose that you use it.

Do you use EViL mode?

No. I have used exclusively Vim for some time before going to Emacs, and I switched because the package management in Emacs was better and because the plugins were more polished. Then I wanted to do "the official way", using the default Emacs keybindings, even though I find the Vim keybindings better.

I switched in late 2015, things were different back then. If it was today I think I would probably jump to Doom Emacs or Neovim.
