LLMs are trained with a large corpus of commercially available source code. However, intentional training on individual skills such as medicine, finance, mathematics, and software engineering is conducted to the tune of a few billion dollar

It's been heavily edited to reduce its AI-ness. Some tells remain, for example "Not X. It's Y." Enough smell has been removed where it's tolerable.

In the US, attaching legislation like that to firearms instructions would doom its success. It sounds like a great idea to ratfuck a potential bill. No Republican would be able to pass a bill that bans local agents from helping citizens exe

I'm convinced, but then all the links to actually acquiring the bulbs are broken or for wholesalers. The city of Flagstaff page says the following: Though it is still generally true that any LED product described as “Amber” will have

This argument presupposes multiple levels of assumption. By the point where the assertion is made that construction costs would drop, the prediction's error bars equal the entire range. There's no reason to believe that constructi

A disappointing trend is to frame the opposing argument in extreme terms rather than engaging with the substance of the assertion. The latter portion is grand standing about how incredulous the commenter is that someone might trust an LLM c

1. Proven causation is a high bar for drawing conclusions in conversation or on a website. 2. Luxembourg is the only microstate in the chart. Fixation on a singular outlier is not useful.

Early childhood public spending as a percentage of GDP has a strong positive correlation with fertility. That is, among nations that have already experienced the fertility drop associated with women's employment. 1. The Economics of Fe

I agree that women's employment is the common factor in all societies with reduced birth rates. > In 1957 it was 96/100k teen women had babies, 62/100k in 1991 and now down to the current rate of 11/100k That's p

HuggingFace offers DeepSeek as one of its models— it's pretty simple to spin up instances under your control. I'm not sure about OpenRouter but I wouldn't be surprised if they offer a US-based provider of DeepSeek. For refere

Passengers are required to follow orders by flight crew regarding flight safety. If the passenger shut off the device, it does appear that 1st Amendment speech protections would apply (prior restraint is expressly forbidden). If the passeng

Does your phone's cellular radio work at 30000 feet? Calls occur over flight wifi. Streaming video and audio are not permitted on most flights for bandwidth purposes, so it follows that calls are prohibited for the same reason.

I don't see any evidence of TSA being a jobs program. Their mission and the agents executing it appear to be toward flight security. I'm certain there are many counterexamples of misguided policies and agents exhibiting incompeten

You're responding to a comment in a neighboring, but close reality. In this reality, it wasn't a dropped application request or even an account signup failure. Instead, it was a highly legible, public decision. This was an expensi

Sure, if all you did was work on a hobby, that wouldn't deliver satisfaction. But a hobby as a part of a life rich with relationships and people depending on you? Seems like a worthwhile pursuit to me.

I'm not sure if this is an unintentional mistake. Gitlab did not perform a ban. Github performed the ban. Github is fully-owned by Microsoft.

This article is nothing more than hyperbole and opinion. Its only worth is to provide confirmation bias. I agree with many points in the article, but there is no informative aspect to the post.

There's no evidence to suggest that poisoning impacts generative model training in 2026. Frontier labs spend billions on tightly focused training plans, developing assessments and pursuing the long tail of assessment failures.

I understand this opinion, because their API keys / OAuth tokens had no permissions structure, so a user of the Railway MCP had their infrastructure destroyed by an overzealous LLM agent. However, this is orthogonal to their infrastruc
