You're correct for an actual git revert, but it seems pretty clear that the original authors have mangled the story and it was actually either a "git checkout" or "git reset". The "file where 1-2 hours of progr

Why is it the people posting positive comments who are "responding to incentives" by posting more, while it's the people posting negative comments who do so by stopping posting? Like, your exact points work equally well with

As far as I can tell, power isn't actually a major part of the expense, it's dwarfed by the capex. Just the amortization on the GPU will be an order of magnitude higher than the cost of the power to run the GPU at 100%. (Assuming

I mean, the claim is certainly nonsensical in the sense that this isn't something Wärtsilä just "realized". They have been in the power plant business for decades. In the oldest financials they have online (the annual report

The opposite. The article is just about stock-based compensation, and that 46% number is explicitly just that, not cash compensation.

So that is what the classic "Cheney on MTA" Lisp implementation paper was named after. It felt like a reference, but I never had an idea about what it was referring to. Thanks!

You're probably in the wrong thread. This is about changing email addresses for accounts. That's not a payment-gated feature on Google.

It was for a dynamically growing ring buffer that also did short-object optimization. The natural implementation was to have the capacity and the offsets stored in fixed locations and with a fixed width, and have the variable part be a unio

There are plenty. But it's not the comparison you want to be making. There is too much variability between the number of tokens used for a single response, especially once reasoning models became a thing. And it gets even worse when yo

Human performance won't be sufficient. Self-driving vehicles have to be noticably (order of magnitude) better than humans to be accepted.

The _Science_ paper linked is paywalled, is anyone aware of a preprint? I find it a bit curious that they've chosen to use SMS verifications as a proxy for the difficulty of creating an account, when there are similar marketplaces for

The infinite grid is a cool idea, but the game as a whole did not feel very engaging. There was no way I was finishing even one full screen of this, which is the bare minimum threshold for getting any value from the infinite grid. I'm

Fair enough. I'd already included the fact about it being a data set in the post once, which seemed clear enough especially when my actual point was that the author did not "find" the CSAM, and by implication were not aware o

As a small point of order, they did not get banned for "finding CSAM" like the outrage- and clickbait title claims. They got banned for uploading a data set containing child porn to Google Drive. They did not find it themselves, a

I don't think you get access to source in this case. The release is a binary blob.

It's fine to have a few duplicate submissions for articles that did not get any attention originally.

Companies' fiscal years do not necessarily align with the calendar year. Nvidia has indeeded just reported its FY2026 Q3 results. You might want to get your facts right first when flinging accusations. Like, this fact is trivial to che

That's a bizarre takeaway for them to suggest, when they had exactly the same kind of bug with Rust like three weeks ago. (In both cases they had code implicitly expecting results to be available. When the results weren't availabl

The correct solutions and the viable paths probably are known to the trainers, just not to the trainee. Training only on problems where the solution is unknown but verifiable sounds like the ultimate hard mode, and pretty hard to justify un

That is a bizarre take. Dwarkesh Patel is publishing in a very specific domain, where RL is a very common and unambigous acronym. I'd bet it was immediately clear to 99% of his normal audience, and to him it's such a high frequenc

That's not the logic, they obviously hire from outside. The author's complaint is not that he can't get hired. He doesn't want to get hired, even! The complaint is rather that investors aren't funding his startup.

There is nowhere near enough money in the ad network business. Like, Google's search ad business is an order of magnitude higher than the ad network, and the ad network has been shrinking in absolute terms for years while the first par

Every part of this is nonsense. Spending a lot (on capex or opex) certainly is not providing any kind of signaling benefit at this level. It's the opposite, because obviously every single financial analyst in the market is worried abou

Do you have any kind of source for that, or did you just make it up? If the latter, why?

ChatGPT usage is already significantly higher than Twitter at its peak, and there is a lot more scope activity with explicitly or implicitly commercial intent. Twitter was entertainment and self-promotion. Chatbots are going to be asked f

I don't share your optimism. Those kinds measures would be just security theater, not "a lot better". Avoiding secrets appearing directly in the LLM's context or outputs is trivial, and once you have the workaround imple

No, LLMs really are not more sticky than traditional APIs. Normal APIs are unforgiving in their inputs and rigid in their outputs. No matter how hard you try, Hyrum's Law will get you over and over again. Every migration is an exercise
