Isn’t this just software? But with an LLM at various points instead of a deterministic call to some function?

14 seconds per token? Not tokens per second. Seconds per token? That’s nowhere near the cusp!

Carpenters? Are we making the data centers out of wood?

by edot 3mo ago
Yes, if only due to the business models being entirely different. AWS sells compute. OpenAI sells models. One of these things benefits from training on your data significantly more than the other.

No, luckily private companies in the US are aching for this to NOT be banned. NVIDIA, Microsoft, etc. just released that letter. We’re saved from the trillionaire companies (OpenAI, Anthropic) by the other trillionaire companies acting in s

Nope, not low at all. In the Midwest that’s exceedingly normal, even for non-entry level. $70k a year is living good in the Midwest, especially if dual income household ($140k a year is plenty when a decent house goes for $300k).

Exactly. I think we all have to come to this conclusion ourselves, because the message we’ve been getting from the LLM companies is “sweet user, you DO add value to the LLM, you gave it that custom subagent, remember?”, and then they go and

Nice! Codex’s TTL on 5.6 is, I believe, 30 minutes, and when combined with how generous they are with resets of weekly limits and having completely gotten rid of 5hr limits, means Claude Code is just a total rip off right now. Not to mentio

“Seems like it went pretty well if a consulting company is now being started.” You interpreted this backwards. Software companies offer consulting when their product cannot stand on its own. See Palantir, Salesforce, etc. They are successfu

Laws don’t prosecute themselves, and they also don’t tend to remove themselves. Lots of laws, lots of selective enforcement. “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” and “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws” are some

Yes, 100%. "where the measurement breaks" and "honest account of the limitations" are all I needed to see.

Yeah, but the bloat is “correct” per the manufacturer. I view it like car parts or other things where the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) recommends certain things. Besides, they have the most training data and incentive to get their

Honestly? It’s the shape that makes it clearly AI. That’s the quiet admission at the heart of the problem.

I’m starting to come to the opposite approach: don’t try to customize anything, just use it vanilla, and use the best model you can afford. No AGENTS.md, no special subagents or roles, nothing but a few convenience skills which are really j

Not true. You can turn off training in settings on an individual plan.

No, you can’t see ships with this satellite. Too small. Besides, Russia and China have way better satellites that they’ll happily share intel from with Cuba.

Agreed. Deburring tools also frequently “catch” and dig in if you’re not careful. Especially on soft aluminum. Use a file if you’re going to do this.

Right, but she is not pathologically like the other billionaires. She married a man who became one. Same with Melinda Gates. So I guess our hope is that more billionaires will lust after young Russians or hot newscasters and get divorced, s

What are they / you using it for in such quantities?

And OpenAI didn't try to silently degrade performance of their top model if its (extremely sensitive) safety sensors went off ...

Interesting take. I assume that, because corporations are a subset of “groups of people” that this applies to any group? The theory here being that, in the same way that LLMs produce the average of everything they’ve trained on, a group of

Because papers are often referred to by the first author’s name, and often the first author is the primary researcher and therefore deserves the extra credit. When two or more primary authors are equally involved, they’ll often do a random

This is true in any power structure ever. Kings, mafia, pick-your-dictatorship, many democracies. Hurt or steal from the poor, not other rich or elite, and always make sure to kick some up to the big guys.

Yeah, and arbitrage. Arbitrage is exploiting the difference in prices of the same asset between two markets. Arbitrage is also risk-free or darn close to it. Entrepreneurship is anything but. Arbitrage is not "gee this product doesn&#x

This article feels like LLM but I can't put my finger on it. It reads like LLM where a human asked an LLM to cover up the LLM-isms. It's odd because the byline of "Drawing on Tyler Cowen & Alex Tabarrok’s Modern Principle

There are four distinct firings. Look for the little yellow poofs. The pistons move in pairs for balance (vibrations). Each piston is doing one of the four strokes (suck, squeeze, bang, blow is the crude way to remember) at a given time. No

You can tell these guys know nothing about LLMs or how they’re provided. I love how they show OpenRouter’s graph of token usage as if it speaks for usage across the board. DeepSeek looks like the king because people who use Anthropic and Op

There is no technological fix for the issue you raise. The issue being parents not wanting to bother raising their kids, and thus giving the state and corporations control over what they can and can’t do. That’s a cultural issue. No idea ho
