As I get older I’ve come to realize more and more how bad instant gratification is. There’s value and mental health benefits in doing things that are slow and take time and effort.

This is an interesting idea. My concern is what about the people whose submissions don’t get picked? They wasted time for nothing. Is there a limit to how many people can sign up for a job? Also, you’d need mechanisms in place to stop peopl

The key word here is “server”. Optimizing memory server-side directly translates to cost savings for companies. There is a lot less incentive to optimize memory for code that runs on the user’s computer.

Cloud models will always be ahead, but not every task needs Fable-level intelligence. The number of usable situations for local models will increase as hardware and open-weight models improve.

I’d argue that it still makes a difference because the language can determine what kinds of issues are possible to occur, as well as the quality and availability of training data from that language. Rust is a good language for AI because it

It used to be worse: at one point Tesla made the controls for the AC intensity a slider. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried moving your finger in a perfect straight line in a moving vehicle without looking, but I’m pretty sure it’s impossibl

Customers do not care how things work under the hood - they only care about how well the feature works for them. There is no good reason to communicate that you’re using AI, other than to impress VC types. I actually think the word “AI” in

If you were writing it yourself you would proofread and double-check everything. Why do you think that’s no longer required?

There’s evidence that combining models can achieve frontier-level performance (e.g. OpenRouter Fusion). I’m wondering if that’s the more realistic option: combine Opus with a local model to save on token costs.

There is potential harm if it’s not a bubble and their competitors scale and capture more of the market and they don’t. That’s why CXMT is a real wildcard - they could use this situation to become a big player.

Not allowing it to be used by any foreign national, from any country, even if they are located in the United States or an employee of Anthropic, seems overly broad and harsh. And all because of a seemingly minor potential jailbreak exploit.
