I don't know, the CEO of Anthropic has openly said that each model by itself is profitable, they just reinvest everything into training more and more expensive models.

What if they spent 15 minutes doing that? Would you care then? Scale matters a _lot_.

It's mimicking humans only in as far as it is still using tools & programming languages developed by humans, for humans. This is temporary. There is a future where AI builds tools made by AI for AI, evolving at speeds that we may n

This sounds super interesting. Do you have any blog or pointers where I could read more about this?

Fortunately, multiple model providers are offering open weights models at significantly lower prices than closed models.

It focuses on training and data provenance, rather than serving.

Humans fail in infinitely more complicated ways than LLMs. They can have a difficult personality, a medical issue, family stress, hangover, sleep deprivation or they can just wake on the wrong side of the bed. On any given day, you never kn

On the other hand, an American company can sell your chats to adtech/insurance/your government in ways that can harm you quite directly. Something worth considering.

Previously discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33770277 UB supersedes volatile, once the compiler hits UB then all bets are off. Compilers can and do optimize out UB branches, which is almost never what you

95% of the test suite is passing today, so it's pretty close: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils-tracking/blob/main/gnu-r... There is a list of open items here, it's looking pretty good tbh:

In my experience, curiosity and intelligence are very strongly correlated. There is a real gap between people with the curiosity and ability to explore and learn, and people without. This is often handwaved as "motivation" but it&

As a counterpoint, I found GPT 4.5 by far the most interesting model from OpenAI in terms of depth and width of knowledge, ability to make connections and inferences and apply those in novel ways. It didn't bench well against the other

Yeah, but as the HTMX author said, HTMX sucks! Definitely should use Datastar!

How do you deal with slow compilation times?

Or when you enable optimizations and since accessing an object with invalid state is UB, the compiler helpfully decides it is now permitted to format your hard drive. https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2016-02/

It's about as useful as your complaining. Good riddance for Lightning.

And just like that, OpenAI got banned in my company today. Good job.

Not the grandparent, but Airflow is painfully slow and inefficient. Our reinvented wheel using posgresql, rabbitmq and EC2 runners has ~10x better throughput and scales linearly with the number of pending tasks, whereas the airflow falls ap

GraphQL APIs can easily DOS your backend if you don't configure extra protections (which are neither bulletproof nor enabled by default), they suffer from N+1 inefficiencies by default unless you write a ton of extra code, and they req

Given the dramatic uptake of Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Code etc, we can be 100% certain that LLM companies are using LLMs to improve their products. The improvement loop is likely not fully autonomous yet - it is currently more e

As much as I loathe diving into the utter cesspool of US politics, I do need to point out that the article is simply quoting the goals of Project 2025, which prominently include: to “defang and defund the woke culture warriors who have infi
