Exfiltrating secrets via monitor burn in would be wild though.

> there's something funny about mathematics in that every novel result is broadly perceived as a big deal. Is this true? Or is it just that mathematics is an isolated enough field that only the results that are a big deal get broa

My apologies, deepseek v4 flash through pi is indeed super cheap, I can see only using $1 in a day and getting a decent amount done.

Everything else feels bloated. The same model in pi will consume significantly less context for the same task as there's not piles of unchangeable system prompts being passed along (I assume), and at least compared to OpenCode the qual

If you've got money to burn on tokens, the way that seems best to me is to set up a repeatable harness - docker container with a specific past commit from your own project, set of known issues/features that you've already fix

The stuff about scale not allowing quality resonated with me. baseless speculation follows!!! I think large orgs can definitely achieve high quality. but only by spinning up small, totally autonomous teams working on every layer of whatever

My father was a watchmaker. Fond memories of going with him in his van to the various jewellers he did work for picking up and dropping off. I remember being given a big metal lamp from his workshop when he passed away and realising the bod

Same here - curious which deepseek model and what op was doing. I suspect it might be a question of conversational loop vs agentic dev - the former uses much less tokens than letting an autonomous agent churn away on your codebase.

Anecdotally, the people who I know who were not particularly good developers pre-llms still manage to produce bad code even using flagship models now. I think having solid knowledge/understanding of good architecture and general practi

It feels to me that the venn diagram between "students that fully engaged with the material" and "students that learned well from the material" is going to basically be a circle for any teaching method.

Eh I think you're overstating the level of lock-in here. There's nothing about the platform itself that forces you to stay, it's just the games you've already bought. You can keep the system and just stop buying new game

Ever since I had the disposable income to burn (so ~PS3 generation onwards) I've been someone that always eventually owns every console from each generation. Usually just one of them initially and then the others a few years later when

I completely lost interest in Magic when they started churning out all the licensed crossovers. It feels like they really jumped the shark compared to how they used to be - they used to seemingly care deeply about the lore, gameplay, struct

Fair, the comment history does paint a different picture.

Usually I agree with your calls on things being unsubstantive, but this one kinda seems fine? I don't think it's flame bait, just emotive language? And the substantive point being made is that online gambling should be illegal. (a

Are you seriously trying to claim that e.g. wearing dresses or liking the color pink is somehow fundamentally tied the the genitals in your pants or the chromosomes you have? The idea that gender is a social concept is so blindingly obvious

I think you need to read their comment again - they are clearly talking about sex and gender as two different concepts.

Yeah my current feeling is that once I had double digit millions earning further money would be pretty meaningless to me, and the difference between 'large salary' and 'even larger salary' would be even more meaningless,

Why stop there? Front the honeypot with a real IIS server, build a matryoshka doll of honeypots and see how far people get.

I'm eternally disappointed that none of these libertarian projects even manage to survive long enough to hit the "oops we just reinvented government and taxes" stage.

This seems like a sarcastic/unserious comment, but based on my interactions with people who are supposedly anti-immigration - yes, it's entirely based on skin colour. Someone from India, China etc whose family immigrated in the 18

Dismissing opinions you don't like by arbitrarily classifying them as "political" vs "not political" is lazy and dishonest.

It feels odd that that graph includes some CPUs with integrated GPUs, but otherwise only focuses on CPU transistor count. I wonder what a graph of 'biggest/mean/median retail CPU + dedicated GPU combo transistor count' w
