I suspect this is a standard mathematical “it is computationally impossible to do this in the general case despite it being entirely feasible in many cases”.

I don’t think anyone in the business thinks that the markets are 100% efficient, just that they are sufficiently efficient that beating them is a genuinely hard job requiring heavy, expensive analysis.

I feel like this is a bit of a disappointment. Sonnet 4 was a clear step above Opus 3.x, while this is a lot muddier.

The language used in this press release is borderline hilarious. It’s simultaneously trying to tell you how great it is while also telling it’s not THAT great. Nothing to worry about, move along.

And enforcement cannot work if you’ve captured all three estates.

I love CS Lewis. I don’t massively love his name being invoked by a bunch of people intent on ripping the chest out of America.

I feel like "Company ditches staff in favour of AI" stories currently fit into two categories 1) The CEO is actually ditching staff for other reasons like falling revenue, but "going AI first" sounds a lot better 2) The

I fail to see what the difference between the distillation described in the article and the distillation described by Bartz vs Anthropic.

I'm thinking it's rapidly not becoming "can you find a security issue in XYZ?" and "what is the cost of finding a security issue in XYZ?". I want to know what the spend was.

That's both extremely neat and, for the time being, extremely hard for me to get my head around. I got it round monads, so I imagine it's just a matter of time!

It's not just for choice of model, you can use it for your prompting as well (basically anything to do with your setup). And yes, running evals is expensive and mostly of use to people with serious spend.

US controls on cryptography software lasted _20 years_. If there's something I'm absolutely certain of, and I'm certain of very little in the fields of AI and of politics, it's that Fable will be utterly irrelevant in 20

Look, I’m not an AI hater, but AI is… not great at multi-threading code. And having it analyse multi-threaded code proves nothing because… it’s not good at multi-threaded code. This isn’t entirely shocking because I’m not good at it either

I mean, I appreciate the huge engineering and design challenges here, but C# had non-null value types in 2002. It had generic value types in 2005 and it gained not-null “types with identity” in 2019 and no-one has batted an eyelid. (Indeed

Ironically, one of the promises of AI: enough eyeballs. The catch is the eyeballs can also be used to generate exploits.

My perception is that it’s good, but very expensive. I would not be surprised if regular users, if they shifted their flows to Fable at API pricing, would be racking up $200 a day, not a month.

Having played with Fable a bit, if it doesn’t kill tokenmaxxing I don’t know what will.

It saw a fair bit of immigration before the war to get there. The war itself obviously helped enrich them by not being in it and also practically zeroed immigration. Immigration continued after the war. There’s other factors, obviously, lik

I don’t really know what it would look like, it would have to be up to the Japanese, but I think you’re correct that this would be essential.

Reform don’t need 50%, though. I don’t think even Margaret Thatcher’s landslide got more than 40% of the vote.

Objectively, Japan needs to do something about its culture. It’s literally killing the country. Pretty sure a Japanese person could say the same thing about the U.K.

This is why these kinds of decisions shouldn’t be flipped on a marginal vote. Most countries require a supermajority before doing something like this. Sadly this now cuts the other way and the EU is highly unlikely to enter into anything wi

The point is that STL does make you pay for stuff you don't need. In complexity and compile times. There's reasons Jai is being developed, and they're not all that Jonathon Blow is weird. As much as C++ owns the game industry
