The pong demo is giving "Point to Jev" before it's even reached my paddle on mobile. I also don't really understand the frontpage model-speed comparison: it looks like you're slowing the ball down to compensate for

What an interesting construction. Thank you from a curious layman for your write-up. I thought it was pretty easy to follow. I'd heard of the surreal numbers before and never knew about the construction mind-game behind them.

I agree with you that labs are benefiting from those outputs but I'm skeptical that labs are purposefully training the models to produce those outputs. Raw pre-training data includes plenty of conversations between professional builder

Insincere apologies ought to be mocked to shit but this apology seemed well-meant. (I know you're not mocking them and the last sentence is actually something Claude would say.) I post this angry comment because LLMs are colonizing the

I want more of this. Trees using coordinated cell transpiration to control the weather is so fictional but so possible. It's the kind of thing that makes Earth so cool. What do you read? Anything digestible to a curious layman with

Well, in C++ the constructor must return a value of its class type - you can't return an Option<T> from a constructor on T, for example, and since constructors are the canonical way to construct an object, it creates stylistic an

Probably not. The active parameter set may change from token to token, based on my understanding of MoE, so you'd be streaming (at the worst case, unlikely for a real scenario but frames the problem) 49B parameters from SSD for every

To the author: this work you've published rests on some background knowledge that I'm familiar with but also a lot of background knowledge that's foreign to me. For the parts I was able to follow, I thought the mental gear-t
