Its only Google's ReCaptcha that sucks, with its eternal gaslighting. "Select stairs": okay, does that mean the railing too? And probably some percentage of people clicked rails, so now I have meta it and guess if that percen

Social media aren't disruptive, things like Facebook and Twitter worked great with chronological feeds. Same with YouTube. God, I miss pre-2012 YouTube when things mostly just got popular organically. Once they started to have algorith

Models have been capped out on training and (active) parameters a while ago, its tooling / harness that is making the big jumps in performance happen. And then you have things like DeepSeek with a pretty small KV cache. And with the ex

Virtually no one is going to pay for the best performing lamp if the next best lamp does 90% as good for an order of magnitude cheaper. I will say, as pointed out by others, DeepSeek and other Chinese providers still lack a bit in the tooli

The M1 Ultra got 70% of the frames of an RTX 3090 on Tomb Raider[0], so I suppose they're right. Performance-per-watt monsters. And Apple GPUs have only gotten better. [0] https://techjourneyman.com/img/blog/m1

Bit of a nit, it isn't the strong typing that makes Rust great for LLMs, it's the very strict compiler. Plenty of languages have strong (enough) typing but their compilers happily let you or the LLM footgun yourself.

Now we're talking! - V4 will definitely move markets, especially as Claude and OpenAI keep jacking up the prices more and more. But inertia exists. Give it time. - Most US infra providers are ~5x more expensive than Chinese infra, not

Weird rant. TPMs are great. The modern computing landscape needs a safe place to put secrets. It's what made the iPhone (Secure Enclave is effectively a TPM) years ahead of Android in terms of security. The problem isn't the TPM,

OpenAI and Anthropic have no moat. DeepSeek is a drop-in replacement that is really close in performance for 7.5-20% of the cost. That cost will continue to get pushed down by the Chinese. And bizarrely enough their models are more secure t

That doesn't work, if you do that it will mark DeepSeek's models with a warning symbol along with the error "paid model training violation".

Yup. VSCode is really fast and memory-frugal for an Electron application of that complexity. Likewise, Gnome has proven that you can write entire UIs in Javascript and have them be quite performant. Electron (well, Node is a big sub-culprit

Prices are not going up. DeepSeek V4 Pro is 5-10x cheaper than Claude 4.7. As some of us have been predicting, model capability had already mostly plateaued, and the Chinese have and will continue to relentlessly push cost down. Chinese mod

Unfortunately the most flavorful methods (espresso, french press, moka) also raise your cholesterol. So sadly, no, coffee is not universally "good for you". Filtered coffee methods are though, as the filter absorbs the oils.
