You are poisoning the context and priming it to say load-bearing. I don't really think there is a good way to actually ban specific phrases other than have it do a second pass, it's something baked into the model from post trainin

Within the 1982-2026 span there is an equally negative 3.5 sigmas deviation somewhere (no year labels on the graph). The article doesn't touch on it at all so I have no context as to what it could be. But it definitely suggests 3.5 sig

Most likely the building gets stabilized and then anyone involved gets embroiled in lawsuits and it stays standing half finished for years. One Seaport is a famous recent example of an under construction skyscraper getting halted for struct

I would wager most if not all of the tokenmaxxing was done on enterprise API priced plans, not subscription plans. You can't actually token"max" if you are limited in the amount of tokens you can use per 5 hours.

That's because you pretty quickly catch downvotes from people with sour grapes whenever you talk good about working at big tech. Quadruply so for companies much more hated than average like Palantir/Meta/Oracle. It's jus

No not really your perf will only realistically influence 10 maybe 15 percent of your comp for your first 4 years. Vast majority is fixed at signing time. Numbers there are truly what you can expect to get.

You frequently having to tell people about a global configuration gitignore is an obvious consequence of "My general rule is that in-repo .gitignore should only be used for repo-specific things". It wastes less of everyone's

Do you really think the guy branding thousands of people working at Meta as basically pedophiles can really be said to care about "solidarity"? I certainly wouldn't consider someone a peer if they randomly go and call me a pe

Many people do have unlimited budgets because their work pays for it. Just because the latest SOTA model isn't something most consumers can afford for personal use doesn't mean it's not worth releasing or discussing. I would

No, that's not what it means at all even if just doing it purely in math terms. Really it is just a reasonable amount to cap at to stop the long tail of super spenders (tokenmaxxers). You could also call it "the amount of AI spend

Claude is so in demand at the moment that there aren't really volume discounts. Anthropic sets the terms and you either accept them or get lost they have that much of a lead (mindshare/desirability wise).

Bitflips specifically may not be; things like network issues, noisy neighbors, row/rack/host maintenance (leading to a downed and migrated host) absolutely are things that happen at high frequency at scale and cause your backgroun

This was always a little weird to be because Microsoft internally is actively hostile to cross-org collaboration. If you worked in most of Azure you basically have 0 lanes of communication with someone from the Windows team and vice versa.

Calling #2 more sustainable has no basis in reality, it's just a feeling. It's like saying that clothing before the loom or farming before the tractor were "more sustainable". No, it isn't, it just appeals to yeoman

One of my favorite things to come out of Alice in Wonderland is the Red Queen's Race, which has been used as a metaphor in many many fields for the concept of needing to work as hard as you can just to keep up with others, not even to

Software that is sold as a service and requires ongoing maintenance like running in the cloud (and people to keep it running in the cloud) is opex not capex. Google Search is most definitely opex.

The best way to use LLMs is via tmux where it's running on a disposable VM. 0 chance of it getting information from your local machine.

A bug-for-bug port to Rust is the first step to fixing that. Assuming the port is actually 1:1 without any behavioral changes, these bugs already exist in the Zig code. The difference is now it's known where effort can be dedicated in

I'm guessing you have 0 insight into the work that the ads, ranking, apps, and sales teams do to keep the gravy train flowing and even expanding 30% every year. If Meta fired even just half the ranking workers, the recommendation model

If the yes side is heavily favored because it's a "sure thing" then there will eventually be people who bet no and hire guards (or go themselves) to defend the weather sensor from the hairdryer-wielders.
