Sometimes it's not about being the "free-thinker," but just fitting in. If you're in a setting where there can be 'overwhelming dissent,' I would say it's prudent to pause and consider what your goal is wi

"Built to make people's lives worse" is an opinion. There are people who gamble without getting addicted and treat it as good fun. Why shouldn't I be able to bet a small amount on a team I like in Fantasy Football? I&#x2

Housing is actually ~44% in 2024, but the subcategory of 'Shelter' is ~35% for CPI-U. 'Shelter' is further broken down into rent and owner's equivalent of rent. 'Owners' equivalent rent of residences'

I'm sure the author will encounter problems where the only way to solve them will be the marginal effort provided by a human. At that point he won't be just be solving problems to work his brain, but also to accomplish a goal.

To me, doubling session usage always seemed like a way to gaslight users into thinking their perception of smaller usage limits after that period ended was just them readjusting to the normal usage limits. Whether from a different model bei

It's probably because you didn't specify "make no mistakes" /s In all seriousness though, I've observed the same thing with my own usage.

Pretty bad decision on his part. I've been telling other engineers within my company who felt threatened by AI that this would happen. That prices would rise and the marginal cost for changes to big codebases would start to exceed the

He's not saying everyone, just the ones who are unprofitable. Not everyone mines bitcoin at the same cost. The ones who do have to stop can also profit from curtailment depending on the price of energy relative to hash profit.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. If the difficulty lowers at a lower rate than miners leaving then the difficulty rate will stop dropping.

Problem is that people like having a similar interface for both work and non-work things, and Linux doesn’t have enough penetration into the consumer market to influence stakeholders. The first step is making Linux the default choice for ha

If it was just to 'hide' payments then they could just use USD and using crypto would just be an improvement in convenience. A bigger reason is that they won't be indirectly attacked with monetary policy and that the acceptan

Not over lightning. Even on-chain, trustless coin swaps (or cross-chain swaps) can be made with different counterparties all over the world where transaction details are all held off-chain (pay in ethereum and receive on bitcoin for example

Lightning is a protocol and there can theoretically be many disjoint networks. The biggest network is usually what's considered to be 'the' lightning network. Double spending, which would require 'settling' a supers

I had a problem that required a recursive solution and Opus4.6 nearly used all my credits trying to solve it to no avail. In the AI apocalypse I hope I'm not judged too harshly for my words near the end of all those sessions lol.

The quote comparing them here was for BrowseComp which "tests an agent's ability to find hard-to-locate information on the open web." (for those wondering). The new model seems significantly better than Opus4.6 judging by the

Qwen3.5 is like an old version of ChatGPT and I can use it the same way I used GPT4 — writing emails, reading documentation and answering questions about it, reviewing code, answering trivia, etc.

I initially agreed with a lot of the sentiment that asks "why," but have reframed my opinion. Instead of seeing this as a way to run programs via inference, I'm now seeing this as a way to bootstrap training. Think about the

I'm sure they wouldn't mind marking it as public domain. MIT is just the go-to license for things like this since it forces other people to notify others it came from an MIT repo if substantial parts of the original repo was used.

The context window is quite literally not a transformation of tokens or a "jumbling of bytes," it's the exact tokens themselves. The context actually needs to get passed in on every request but it's abstracted from most
