I am starting to believe that OAI might actually succeed at getting per token inference cost to where it needs to be. Or that it's already there in principle. Wafer scale compute is a very big deal. Most of HN is probably still unaware

What are the chances this isn't intentional to some extent? This wouldn't be the first time we've traded downstream legal trouble for short term gains. Making AI utilization appear to go up is the only thing that matters righ

Tax ids were never meant to be used as a form of global identification. If you go look in a real bank core, you'll find this field does not have any uniqueness constraints.

Out of all of the cloud providers, I find Microsoft's authentication stack to be the most legible and stable. Everything else really sucks though.

I think something like OAuth might help here. Modeling each "claw" as a unique Client Id could be a reasonable pattern. They could be responsible for generating and maintaining their own private keys, issuing public certificates t

Vogtle is probably producing the most electricity out of any generating plant in the US once you consider capacity factor.

My worst technology experience of all time was maintaining support for a Zebra label printer in VB6. I can assure you that the users of these printers had maybe 1% the cortisol response I did when something went wrong. Designing software fo

I'd like to see a histogram of my HN em dash usage over time. Maybe someone could get bored and visualize the 2nd order effects described here.

If we're worried about wasting parts of the animal, in a typical hog the blood is maybe 10% of their body weight. Significantly more waste (by mass) is created during the trimming process. If you want to do your part, you can buy a pac

Serialized execution flow and large work batches seem to be just as good for humans as for machines. Context switching is expensive in any domain once you look at it from an information theory perspective. Communication of the information a

I had a double take looking at the Houston map. I just got done driving that exact stretch of I45 last night and I don't know how a waymo would have safely navigated from SH288 northbound beyond I10 on I45 NB without getting stuck exit

"Pipelined" SQL already exists in the form of common table expressions. I don't know of any providers where this is not available. SQLite has had support since 2014.

I'm struggling with the economics. It comes off as performative bullshit to me. I thought we were buying entire Apple machines to run our "claws". But, we are simultaneously so poor that we have to smuggle tokens?

SAML is the devil. If it weren't for its XML aspects we'd probably not have bothered as much with alternatives.

OAuth didn't make a lot of sense to me until I learned about RFC7517. JSON Web Keys allow for participants to effectively say "all keys at this URL are valid, please check here if not sure". The biggest advantage being that
