I struggle with how these ideas meaningfully reduce the fundamental coordination problem. The merge queue does provide serialization over change sets, but the ordering of these changes is very particular. Often, one change needs to go in be

The biggest issue is that it has become very accessible to approach AA quality in a solo setting. The jump from indie to AA is much more plausible than the jump from AA to AAA. The middle of the market is in a gigantic space trash compactor

Texas has already begun to evolve around the need for interconnections. If you have the ability to construct the datacenter and power plant directly on top of the energy source, you can eliminate a lot of the delivery risk. https:/&#x

One unit of HBM capacity consumes roughly the wafer capacity that could have produced three units of DDR5 capacity. HBM dies need to be larger than ordinary DRAM dies because of how the final packaging works. > As discussed previously, t

I feel like NAND process tech could become useful at solving some of these problems. A GPU where you can update the weights a few thousand times may be sufficient.

I think Luna might be just small enough to provide some kind of stepwise improvement in how it is hosted. Going from 81GB of weights to 79GB of weights can mean a 50% reduction in GPU capacity required. If you can fit a model in just one GP

The most effective (difficult) training regimens usually avoid the middle of the distribution. You generally want to be operating at the extremes with some rotation schedule or duty cycle. High intensity interval training is an example of t

I think this is more of a function of the harness and the environment than the LLM. I've seen some LLM interactions over complex environments like Godot and Unity that challenges the notion that there is no "jumping" going on

MCP is most useful for extending agent loops with external tools. If you are building your own loops from scratch and don't intend to support external tools, MCP doesn't add anything.

I think the biggest problem with RSI is the tendency of models to try and find "clever" solutions when presented with very hard problems (aka cheat). I just got done asking gpt5.5 to make some suggestions that would improve the co

Roughly one in five Koreans have surname "Kim". Upward of 40% Vietnamese have surname "Nguyen". "Li" is quite popular in China. Specifying "Asian last name" in this context is quite apt.

The LLM is like the death star. If you don't know exactly where to point it, you will likely miss your target and have no/negative effect. The further away the target, the more accurate your firing solution needs to be. If all you

The other thing that massive synchronous machines provide is fault current handling. A turbine hall can eat 10x rated current for several cycles. Semiconductor junctions cannot tolerate anything remotely close to this.
