So then the Rust maintainers are going to give you an F on your report card?

> The more fundamental bottleneck is not even the frontier models, it's the datacenters. Is it even though? Quantization and speculative decoding are improving the local AI story by leaps and bounds every month.

What I would buy: a local AI focused laptop with a built-in, powerful TPU. And it would have to open its hardware interface so that I could actually do what I wanted to do with it.

One question jumps out at me: just because a string of text happens to be a good compressed representation (in the autoencoder) of a model's internal activation, does that necessarily mean the text explains that activation in the con

Yeah AI is the perfect scapegoat for layoffs recently to soften the impact on stock price and investor confidence. Coinbase is obviously doing layoffs because they are strongly tethered to a stock market that is rattled by political confli

Wow I've never disagreed harder with an HN comment in my entire life. Counting Crows were a single band that got some radio time in the early 90s. Calling them the big megastars during '96-'99 makes you sound like you weren&#

I think the disallowing usage part was a great idea. I'd rather that Claude works well without getting DDOS'd. But merely mentioning OpenClaw causing session termination and extra charges? That's censorship. Also pretending n

A lot of the comments here are reacting to the censorship aspect, which is obviously an important point. But the more interesting subtext to me is that I feel like this gives insight into the situation within the company. I'm assuming

Something discussed in the article, but absent in the diagnosis of the final paragraph: the unique phenomenon of Donald Trump in American life. To half the country (including me), he's the worst leader in the country's history.

This wasn't some kind of mansion. It was a 1300 square foot house. I guess I'm aiming too high then while making 4x his salary? And people have been whining about this same problem for decades so nothing to be done about it?

by davesque 6mo ago
Then why did houses used to be affordable even in those dense regions with high paying jobs? People act as though housing has always been prohibitively expensive in city centers but it hasn't. My dad bought a house in Boulder, CO of al

So then why expect that you're making the world safer by limiting the capability that your vendor locked customers have access to while attackers will go find the best de-censored model that works for them, wherever they can find it?

Am I reading the article wrong? It appears that the author did not test the claims of the proof. Wouldn't a "bug" in this case mean she found an input that did not survive a round trip through the compression algorithm? Up

Bud. Put the keyboard down and relax. I have no idea what you're talking about. You've extrapolated all this just from what I wrote?

Right, but the picture those statements painted collectively was not flattering. And that was certainly intended by the authors. Thus, critical, but not at all "incendiary." Update: To clarify, my personal stance is that the c

Wouldn't it be more correct to call the article "critical" and not "incendiary"? I looked it over and I don't remember seeing any calls to violence. Altman needs to remember that he holds an incredible amount

I'm honestly completely in favor of this. Anthropic obviously budgets their capacity based on projected human usage patterns coming through their native app suite (Claude Cowork, Claude Code, etc.). They should not be expected to s

I wish these AI vendors would quit publishing comparisons with the previous generation of their competitors's models. It's just such a glaringly bad look and no one is fooled by it, even if their achievements deserve praise in the

Yeah omlx seems to me like the front runner right now for running MLX models locally in agent workflows (which depend heavily on caching).

I'm not sure this is the issue. I asked Claude Code a simple question yesterday. No sub agents. No web fetches. Relatively small context. Outside of peak hours. Burned 8% of my Max 5x 5hr usage limit. I've never seen anything like

by davesque 6mo ago
You don't. Most of the time (after the first prompt following a compaction or context clear) the context prefix is cached, and you pay something like 10% of the cost for cached tokens. But your total cost is still roughly the area unde

Yeah, the viz for polar quantization is straight up nonsensical. Okay, so some colors are converted into clocks and then into a bigger box with a pink box inside of it. Got it. Even understanding what polar coordinates are doesn't h
