Being unwilling to compare degrees or amounts is not a flex.

The essence of the Enron scandal was the perpetration of accounting fraud. It took down Arthur Andersen. We went from the "Big 5" accounting firms to the "Big 4" because of this. They very much violated GAAP. https:&#x2

When looking at 2025 and 2026 narrowly, China is a better actor on the world stage. I wonder if Vietnam, Philippines, Republic of Korea, India, and Japan are acting against their own interests by aligning themselves closer to the USA than C

Do you get mad at your computer for replacing clerical workers? What does this nonsense comment have to do with the issue at hand?

What does your story have to do with Moonshot AI? Do you think they didn't also use the same corpus? Bizarre

You're calling someone a political hack, but imposing neutrality on my statement. I don't even necessarily disagree with your assessment of this spokesperson. But you must admit how inconsistent you're being.

That's a reasonable viewpoint to have. In a multipolar world we want Mistrals as well as Deepseeks.

Your statement is orthogonal to my comment. Why reiterate the schadenfreude / fairness comment already stated several dozen times in this thread?

Reread my comment and look for a value judgement on my part. The final sentence is probably a good clue as to my opinion.

Commenters are overlooking the significance of this information and posting emotional reactions based on perceptions of fairness or feelings of schadenfreude. The economic viability of Anthropic and OpenAI rely on their being able to charge

It matters because the closed-source frontier labs spend lots of money on human data (RLHF / RLAIF with human oversight). Moonshot is accused of circumventing these costs. Frontier labs add research costs into their inference pricing.

I think your characterization of my post, which credits Moonshot's innovation, goes a bit too far.

I'm happy that Kimi K3 is indeed SotA and its open weights are due to be released soon. It's also true that Moonshot and other labs distill from Claude. This has been reported on extensively. I don't think there's any al

NOBUS exploits have rarely been a driving interest for elected officials. Trade restrictions and reciprocity are far more salient and legible. Most elected officials are only barely aware of what NOBUS exploits even mean. Even during the pr

Can you refine that search term a bit more? I followed the link but it brings up many marginally related comments.

The parent poster is almost certainly talking about inference within workflows and not for interactive coding agents.

It's almost trivial to create a custom Slack application wrapping your desired harness running in a container on your organization's k8s cluster. Likewise with MCP support. These are already open.

Is there an example of this happening? Isn't the problem that datacenters are drawing electricity at the market rate and driving the cost up, rather than paying a surcharge for the difference?

If you look at the annual tuition rates for public schools in the United States, you will find the UC system to be an outlier. I gave a system in the same state that is closer to the national median. How much simpler can this be communicate

You could say the same about all government programs, including pensions and defense. Yet somehow popularly-elected governments keep finding themselves maximizing public utility. A curious property indeed.

The UC system is an outlier in both price and quality for public education in the United States. The California State system, which costs $7-9 thousand per year, is far more representative.

Distracts from the much larger environmental impacts of coal, oil, and nat gas production, which is much higher on a per-capita basis. Comparisons should be made for replacements.

Modern pretraining also consists of expensive human-led specialized task creation and grading loops. Synthetic generation and distillation from previous models is another input for training. I wonder how much new text contributes beyond kee

Unit economics for renewables coupled with storage are excellent. I agree we should reform nuclear regulation to allow new nuclear plants to pencil out. I disagree that we should discount the value of renewables.

Open models enforce a floor on prices, unless overall compute is so constrained that those prices rise also.

Your argument assumes premises that are hardly certain. We use automobiles to travel, yet tens of thousands can still ride horses today. Hell, there are thousands of blacksmiths and glass blowers. If there's a several hundred million d
