You don't have to buy it all at once all in one place. A sophisticated actor can accomplish a lot. You can't bubble wrap the whole world. The real thing to care about are the incentives and having strong morals and norms. Somethin

Whats to stop me from going down to the local gas station, filling up a few thousand liters of gas in a rented moving truck, and driving into my nearest hospital? Most people aren't terrorists. You can't just argue stuff is danger

Keep in mind if you ask Claude what model it is in Chinese it says its Deepseek or Qwen or Kimi. So who's training on who's outputs? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48990086 https://x.com/stev

AMD is barely trying. The 395+ Max Strix Halo was launched January 2025. gfx1151 was not listed in the ROCm compatibility matrix for ROCm 7.2.4 [0]. This is the previous version of ROCm. It's only finally received support in ROCm 7.14.

The phishing resistance on fake websites is largely a function of the fact its an ssh key and you can't man in the middle those after first setup because you have known_hosts, which in the case of passkeys gets replaced with the websit

Thats because the people behind passkeys are paternalistic and don't trust users. I had an argument with one of them a few months ago. https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407 https:&#x2

I'm not a mathematian but I know enough linear algebra and vector calculus to understand the conjecture. This is my interpretation: Firstly, the determinant of the Jacobian is measuring if at any point the function is crushing space &#

This sort of random out of date comment is a common LLM writing trope. Though it is true that the segment anything model is open source. https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam3 They have another with calling A100s mod

While them fixing token bloat on 3.5 Flash is good work. That paragraph was the real highlight. Hopefully 3.5 Pro is soon, and that Gemini 4 can be here end of year and finally have an updated knowledge cutoff.

I really don't think it has anything to do with the datacenters as a building. It's more that AI has been kinda poison pilled in the minds of the people in terms of the negative emotions they feel regarding: * Billionaires * Job L

Anthropic has a lot of interpretability work, but they are extremely defensive about everything else. Dario doesn't really believe in releasing anything. Despite how he acts in terms of some sort of highly principle driven saviour (mac

If the orchestrator agent -> subagent prompt is encrypted then how do you even know if the orchestrator agent is doing its job? Now one reason I could see for why they do this is because maybe they made the model "better at using su

Yes as we all know Employers are just bursting at the seems to hire people without a post secondary degree. Even more so if they don't even have a highschool degree. Just cant get enough of them lol.

Why are resource limits considered at all aside from models accidentally fork bombing themselves? I thought the benchmark was supposed to be about terminal use and specifically chaining together lots of bash tool calls. Which test cases doe

Given current prices I doubt anyone is itching at the bone to spec out hardware. Idk where you would even buy registered DDR5 dims right now. Newegg shows $Request a quote money and that its built to order ... for a 64 GB stick lol.

These are not ideas worth pursuing from an engineering standpoints. It doesn't make any sense compared to just doing the cheap and proven at scale thing of just placing them in normal fields. But I will agree that the idea has proven m

A DGX B200 costs like ~$0.5 M and uses around 14 kW. If you plan to run it straight for 8 years 100% max usage thats around 1 GWhr. A gigawatt hour is a lot of energy but its not that much compared to the price of the actual machine. In Ger

A consumer CPU like a 285k caps out around 130 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Each of its 24 cores can do two 8 wide FMA ops per cycle. Lets say holding a continuous 4 GHz clock speed. This works out to over 1.5 trillion 32 bit floating poi

Btw if anyone is wondering, GPT 5.5 does the same garbage as 5.4 mini for 4 times the cost. Fable manages to make a reasonable game, at a cost of 40 cents. X X O O O O O X X X X X X O O X O O X O X O X X O

Input: $0.95 Cache hit (most important): $0.19 Output: $4.00 This is the same as how much Moonshot charges for it, and it puts it at roughly the price of GPT 5.4 mini, not a bad option. For some context here is a stupid prompt that wastes t

Output tokens are actually kinda expensive for the provider. The input cache hit tokens are incredibly cheap for them, (incredibly high margin too, except for deepseek). And input tokens are in the middle. Input tokens can be processed very

If the job pays well and is relatively stable it could be very worth it. The thing about jobs like this are that they invite more opportunities. These manufacturing workers will want hairdressers, grocery stores, restaurants, teachers, doct

Don't forget this. > For GPT‑5.6 and later models, cache writes are billed at 1.25x the model’s uncached input rate Charging for cache writes is cringe and literally only Anthropic did it. Anyway this does mean the "real"

This is basically just a 25% price increase being done subversively. Usually you do need caching.

If you add up GE Aerospace, RTX Corporation, The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics put together you get a market cap of about 1T btw.

I don't understand this line of reasoning at all. We have a pretty good idea of how much it costs to serve these models. You can pencil out the economics and guess at the model sizes and we know pretty decently how expensive the hardwa

Even if it drops to 1/2 its IPO price ($855B valuation) that still massively overpaying for it. What do they think is gonna come from this SpaceX + Twitter + XAi + Cursor amalgamation? Sexbot agents vibe coding on Mars?
