Hosting, bandwidth, storage, and compute all have come down by orders of magnitude in 20 years. Regardless which model is currently the best, it looks like there will be an open weight model ~6 months behind it which can be vendored at cost

If the current tech plateaus (but continues to come down in price, as expected) then this is a good prediction. But, then there will be a demand for "all-in-one" reliable mega apps to replace everything else. These apps will usher

3b1b is a monetized partner? Association with that brand would be very valuable.

Gemini 2.5 is much more confident. Anecdotally, I think this behavior is undesirable for most commercial LLM use cases. I have several friends that have complained about Gemini’s “back talking” and prefer ChatGPT’s relative sycophancy.

The NSF budget is ~$10billion. That's about half of NASA's, 1.2% of the DoD's, 0.5% of the discretionary budget ($1.7 trillion). Why is this the focus of the admin? Science is one of the few things the US is doing well.

I don’t know what “Fractal volume of data” means exactly, but I think you’re underestimating how much more complicated biology is than software.

This will never happen because: 1. Companies will always want to brand their apps with their particular UI styles. 2. In order to prevent the above, the OS would have to deliberately NOT expose the ability for apps to control their own pixe

A company (mutable ai) was acquired by Google last year for essentially doing this but outputting a wiki instead of a tutorial.

Please, some reasonable Trump voter explain how this is acceptable. How can the sitting president still be openly claiming that a previous election was fraudulent after all this time?

Has your friend talked with current bio research students? It’s very common to hear that people are having success writing Python/R/Matlab/bash scripts using these tools when they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to. Possibl

Zero recourse other than using another browser or and/or another search engine. Why bother having a discussion when you use “zero recourse” here. It comes off as totally absurd.

If this tool looks like it would improve your life I think you should consider using Bazel instead of whatever build system you are using. I don’t see much value add here for a project using Bazel.

What’s the background here? How can we know they use GPL licensed code? Was there some leak?

I would say it is trust worthy because if it were found to be gamed then Anthropic’s reputation would crater. But, we found out that OpenAI is/was gaming benchmarks ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42761648 ) and t

Google’s org chart is packed full of Product Managers and other similar titles that get paid millions to do ~nothing. The number of L8+ “leaders” and “drivers” is really jaw dropping.

cron, but completely unreliable. How nice. LLM heads will say “it’s not completely unreliable, it works very often”. That is completely unreliable. You cannot rely on it to work. Please product people, stop putting LLMs at the core of produ

All current LLMs openly make simple mistakes that are completely incompatible with true "reasoning" (in the sense any human would have used that term years ago). I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes.

I have completely the opposite perspective. Unit tests actually need to be correct, down to individual characters. Same goes with API calls. The API needs to actually exist. Contrast that with "high level design, rough outlines".

No. Both of the requirements "to interact" and "based on what it looks like" require unshakable foundations in reality - which current models clearly do not have. They will inevitably hallucinate interactions and observa
