No known mechanism, but cross species checks would imply that the schedule was evolved and has some control mechanism. Species that evolved before the Devonian period tend not to age and instead grow through their entire lives. There is no

Do you have any advice for running this in a secure way? I’m planning on giving a molt a container on a machine I don’t mind trashing, but we seem to lack tools to R/W real world stuff like email/ Google Drive files without blowin

A Google project with capped spend wouldn’t be the worst though, 20 dollars a month to see what it makes seems like money well spent for the laughs.

Not going to lie… reading this for a day makes me want to install the toolchain and give it a sandbox with my emails etc. This seems like a fun experiment in what an autonomous personal assistant will do. But I shudder to think of the secur

Tech companies also benefit from over hiring. It gives them slack to absorb crises, and Fast Fuel to move quickly on new growth. Eliminating the fear of layoffs allows employees to take more risks and explore. The current crop of tech compa

It’s becoming clear that training a frontier model is a capex/infra problem. This problem involves data acquisition, compute, and salaries for the researchers familiar with the little nuances of training at this scale. For the same cla

This .. doesn't seem like such a terrible deal? At the purported growth rates, you'd expect OpenAI to reach 60-100 billion revenue by 2028. This is more or less the equivalent of building a new AWS. Provided they keep cost growth

Even that didn't work well, when I was at an airport recently I had investigated 4-5 items as I had some time to kill. When I was walking out it wanted to bill me for 70 dollars even though I only had a bottle of water and a candy bar.

This isn't quite right to my knowledge. Most Game AI's develop novel strategies which they use to beat opponents - but if the player knows they are up against a specific Game AI and has access to it's past games, these strate

Aye - it’s a simple business model, which seemed to work well in an era of low interest rates. However some of these tech buyouts seem quite myopic, making it almost appear like the goal was to shutdown the company.

The AI market is extraordinarily skewed towards large players. It's hard for a business to support 100s of 6 figure USD sized accounts next to 1-2 9 figure accounts.

but where does the money come from? it seems like a good way to avoid regulatory scrutiny if your acquisition goal is to simply exit a competitor from the market.

Are these hostile takeovers? buying a competitor out through a PE deal could be cheap relative to competing with them.

The "TACO" trade only works as a pump and dump for insiders for as long as the counterparties allow it to. It does not make sense for the G7 to support the enrichment of the American president for long. Why would anyone believe th

And the US in turn abdicated its separation of powers. A US president lacks the ability to make treaties, or use military force without congressional authorization. In what world does the president have the authority to annex an autonomous

The US has had two faces for the last generation. Bush jr. dragged the British into Iraq and generally angered the EU. That the next republican president was overtly hostile to the EU is a continuation of the theme. It’s hard to build an al

Claude code is so successful that they could silence the api to protect the moat. I’m surprised they didn’t go with the option of offering opus 4.6 to Claude code only.

Eh, the drugs work. A great many people in the US struggle with weight despite shifting to high quality foods, fad diets, exercise etc. I'd honestly attribute the root cause to high general stress levels in daily life.

It can also be as simple as finding meaning in the habit of work and the growth which may come with it. Nihilism and hedonism wear thin after a short while.

The taxes on returning profits to investors via dividends are quite high. You’d be looking at the corporate tax rate (35%) + the dividend tax rates (between 15 and 35%). For any company which may need to raise equity finance later, this is

There was a report groq missed revenue targets by 75%. It wouldn’t move hard for the board to conjure a “dire” sell or die story. As it’s not an acquisition, they are somewhat freed from proving market value.
