I have no idea what's going wrong inside Google/Meta, they certainly have capital. But when you need this much cash, not many people are going to be able to have a shot on goal. It would not surprise me if Meta threw in the towel.

I think the bigger issue is the ever increasing capital requirements, which may cause even the closed weight companies to fall away from the frontier, e.g. Google & Meta are barely hanging on. For Google it feels a bit existential to re

He mentioned that he worked in DevRel and making open source tools like this was a common thing they did: https://x.com/JPoehnelt/status/2069535183158812698 I don't know the legal situation, so maybe they fel

I think people are more rational than given credit for. Their decisions are not necessarily rational for the company, but they are often pretty rational for themselves. And some bureaucracy is often necessary to evaluate security, data prot

I hooked up our Hubspot to Claude and also found it very valuable, but I actually found the most value there in entity linking, data cleanup and general data processing more than the UI changes. I still had Claude make me charts because I w

Yes, but the takeaway is the opposite if what you're implying. Working with C's is draining for everyone and a drag on morale.

This sort of process over responsibility culture is one way to drive incidents to zero, but it's also a way to wrap yourself in so much process and bureaucracy that you move at the speed of aerospace. Of course, many companies are far

Because you do not know everything and information (possible inputs, actual outputs) still needs to be presented to you. Because text is not the best way to present everything. Because consistency of presentation makes it easier to absorb.

Nice! I will say though, I don't really want to "write tests in natural language", I want something to crawl my app and figure out what's there and what's currently broken and then write its own regression tests.

Has anyone tried to build their own version of this? It's cool, but I'm not super excited about using some 3rd party SaaS as a critical part of my testing.

Is there a long term future in hand-crafted UI/UX? Maybe not. Is there a future where we still have traditional UX? Absolutely. I don't want to write a whole dissertation on this topic, so I'm just going to mention that we tr

I think this speaks to the low value being generated by playing games more than anything. There are plenty of tasks where $100/task is reasonable. The value of tasks also doesn't correlate to tokens, and as can be seen here you ca

I dunno, I talk to the Doordash bot, it gives me a refund for the failed delivery because it didn't score me as doing fraud, I don't care there was no human involved. It's certainly an upgrade over the menu-driven approach th

There are plenty of tech controls that exist for children's personal technological devices that do not require the state to intervene.

We started out core product on ECS, which is a declarative way to run a containerized service. It has been nice and reliable, but it has limitations (slow scaling, weird AWS Quotas if you have ephemeral tasks). We're moving our non-cri

In the last week we have done a complete analytics dashboard overhaul with Fable/Opus. The baseline was really bad, for we have no front-end engineers, so we largely felt comfortable not reading anything but the auth code (where we did

Codex is much more subscription-efficient than Claude. Having said that, I think there is a question of how far we can push this and not collapse under the weight of tech debt created, e.g. https://openai.com/index/open

The commentary sounds like AWS really pushed this. If you're bringing this sort of stuff to the government, it's because you want the government to act...

Releasing a model without benchmarks seems to say the model is probably bad...

I think Anthropic went a lot further with the marketing around Mythos/Glasswing. OpenAI talked a lot about potential future risks. Anthropic went around saying "this model is too dangerous to give to people at all".

I'm not a VC man, just someone who has raised funding recently. Nobody in the US is talking about the next Databricks atm, for better or worse, they are either trying to get as much allocation in OpenAI/Anthropic, funding random c

Tell me you haven't talked to a VC. A better model for VCs is: companies are finding tons of budget to allocate to new AI spend. Besides the labs, who is going to be able to capture some of that spend while they're actively lookin

The difference between OpenAI & Anthropic is that OpenAI didn't do multiple big media pushes about how their models are so scary and dangerous. OpenAI's models are very good, they have refusals + a government ID verification s

I think I like Codex for the same reason tbh. I think it's just general misanthropy or autism or something lol. Most people seem to prefer Claude. For me, I think Codex was visibly smarter than Claude until 4.8 came out, it would regul

The problem is that there are a bunch of benchmarks, the model providers often don't even use the same benchmarks, a bunch of them have known problems, and it's expensive to do your own benchmarks. I am a GPT 5.x booster since to

The paper has a section on "Reusing precomputed KV across queries" which talks about how other papers have tried to address this problem, but yeah, this paper adds nothing on its own besides a catchy title.

Why did we invent the term Data Scientist a decade or so ago to replace Business Analyst? To try and give the position a rebrand with more prestige and hire better people for it.

I assume it's a lack of care when RLing them. RL has a tendency to reinforce cheating when the cheats are easier to find than the final solution. So when making your RL environment, you need to spend a lot of effort on finding ways the

It's not quite as closed as a binary, it is very standard practice to take these models and fine-tune them. If there were actually even close to frontier open source models, this would be more of a discussion, but everyone knows these
