But who decides which rules are neutral? Even this is relative and subjective. Laws are not inherently neutral. A pH of 7 is only neutral because it is bounded by 0 on the left and 14 on the right. In a different system, perhaps it would be

Network effects. Massive difference between police having to go talk to a local business owner or private citizen and say "hey, there was a robbery here, can you please go pull the footage you got last night at 8pm and see if you can s

False dichotomy, no? You can have a HUD, and a copilot, and your copilot can also have a HUD. And to complete the idea, you can also have neither.

But is that data good? That's the question. As in, is my usage at work: a) indicative of problems that aren't already out there in the wild? (no) b) are the responses I'm getting so good and novel that the model can improve i

I highly encourage everyone to start organizing locally. It’s extremely easy to do. Read your city’s local meeting transcripts (LLMs can help find ones with Flock mentions), see who said what, email them. Make a website, find who else has p

Yeah I’d have to imagine that as long as you have the same fundamental ideas (variables, functions, loops, arrays, etc.) the syntax doesn’t matter at all. Plus it can just try, see and error, and read the error. I doubt there’s a language o

My understanding of manual machining in the modern day is that only really big or really specialty jobs (as in, just a weird process that there isn’t a good CNC machine for) are done manually anymore. But specialty and low volume, which is

That’s his point, there isn’t one. You don’t need bespoke software anymore. We’ve got the basics already, all the standards we’d ever need, the agents can figure out how to put them together for whatever thing specific you need.

Yeah China is not dystopian at all! They don’t keep millions of people in open air prisons, they don’t keep track of people’s compliance with the government, they don’t support brutal dictatorships, and they definitely don’t pass any laws t

Not a big deal at all. Claude Code and Codex both support keeping your computer awake. That'll just be a default thing that gets turned on when you install one of these apps.

Sure but is that worth the rest of us giving up our rights? Also, historically, dictatorial governments do the most child abductions by orders of magnitude. These cameras are a Stasi or NKVD wet dream.

Kidnapping like how you’re thinking of it (stranger grabbing your kid from the park) is a myth. Non-family abductions are 1% of cases. Straight from the horse’s mouth: https://www.missingkids.org/theissues/nonfamily

Absolutely not. Horrible advice. You give the rest of us peaceful majority a bad name. Protest legally. Your post glows.

Right, because you don’t want to let the little guys mess it up for the big guys: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/fbi-seeks-us-wid... Gotta make a statement with the low level grunts so the citize

So what’s the goal of a bot post like this? If you look at its user account, you can see it has some links to some of its websites which I assume are scams of some variety.

What are you doing where you're getting Sol on XHigh or Max to run out on the $200 plan? Last night, I had 48% of my weekly limit left, so I spun up 4 projects I had been working on and ran them all on Ultra with Fast mode and /go

Subsidy doesn't matter once the weights are released. You're conflating subsidized training and research with subsidized inference. DeepSeek's (allegedly government-) subsidized inference is coming to an end soon per their do

This is not the same thing, right? IIUC, the awards for what you linked have already been given out. There aren't awards for the linked initiative - I think that's just Argonne National Lab asking for volunteers to make their (ANL

Just looked this up, no longer true. Explore subagents inherit whatever model the parent is. And you can of course make other subagent configs.

That’s literally how AlphaEvolve works. And presumably how OpenAI’s research loop works if they’d ever publish it. They put an LLM in a loop, with a reward function, and keep trying to get a higher score. The reward function for AlphaEvolve

Right, which was true at the time. So hundreds of billions of dollars have been poured into making LLMs better at these tasks via pretraining, RL, RLHF, post training, etc. again all with something verifiable in the loop. In order to improv

Math is verifiable. LLMs will continue to make strides in such search spaces where all they need to do is try->verify->repeat. You can't train an LLM on how to end the war in Iran or Ukraine, nor how to solve hunger, nor climate

I like them, I just didn't understand them and figured I'd educate the crowd so we can all join in and call things tosh. Posh = fancy, tosh = bad.

Well, in 3/5 of the United States you are. Look up filial laws. They’re rarely enforced but they’re there.

It’s open weight, you can (or you can wait for someone else to) uncensor it. We shouldn’t be upset at the researchers making this for the mandates their government puts on them.
