For a while it was all about getting the lightest shoes, because picking up heavy shoes slowed you down. Then the energy return (pebax foam, carbon plates/rods) became the main focus because the weight didn't matter as much when t

While that seems like a bummer, as long as he doesn't quit he'll have many more chances to set the record himself.

Intelligence agencies and companies for which industrial espionage is an actual concern will re-encrypt their data storage, or have already done so. The only risk is on data that was already obtained with a vulnerable encryption. So there i

Just because other companies have released open weights models doesn’t mean they are doing so with the same motivation. And I never implied that the Chinese companies decision making was as simple as this. I said I think this is _one of_ th

I think one of the motivations is undermining US companies. OpenAI and Anthropic are the two biggest players, and are American. Open weights models reduce the power those two big players have over the industry. If the Chinese companies trie

In standard FP32, the infs are represented as a sign bit, all exponent bits=1, and all mantissa bits=0. The NaNs are represented as a sign bit, all exponent bits=1, and the mantissa is non-zero. If you used that interpretation with FP4, you

A term hire is still a federal employee, just with the uncertainty of your term being renewed or extended. I’m not really sure what they are hoping to get out of this- even if they were hiring at the highest step, this is trying to hire an

The top of the page says "For a few days only" and a little later on it says something like "Early to mid career engineers with terms of 1-2 years" So what is the time limited part? The application window? Also, how is t

This is supposedly the Opus 4.7 model card. It's okay for it to be marketing for Opus 4.7 and describe what it can do, and even okay for it to talk about what it does better than the last generation. GP was saying it sounds like market

If you're running it from OpenRouter, you might as well use Qwen3.6 Plus. You don't need to be picky about a particular model size of 3.6. If you just want the 397b version to save money, just pick a cheaper model like M2.7.

The author is basically advocating that they want to be an executive with a secretary, but they want the secretary to be AI. I don't use secretary in a pejorative sense, just meaning that the author seems to want someone/something

Claude Code definitely has a head start, but there have been a few HN posts about a perceived nerfing of the intelligence and settings in the past month or so. Codex could capitalize on that weakness. They just introduced a $100 monthly 5x

So he basically just set up a middleman that connected customers to physicians to sell a popular drug. On the one hand, it's easy to blame them for not being more careful with customer data or not being more honest with their advertisi

I think saying "L-L-M" sounds kind of like "lemon," so this is an LLM-aid (sounds like lemonade).

(slightly sarcastic) So we should give rich people diseases so they are incentivized to fund medical research? Sid seems like a decent person. I'm glad that he's able to push cancer research forward on his own. Hopefully his work

Jokes on them, my private repos are total dog dookie. If nobody but me can see the code then I don't have to worry about style, structure, comments, or any other best practices. You don't want an LLM trained on my private repos.

This is partly why most military bases are not in a city- open space makes it easier to defend. (Another reason is that the dangerous chemicals and loud training make residents hate the base even in peacetime.) And attacking civilian target

I’m not sure the plaintiff’s mental harm was caused by Meta and YouTube. You can be just as depressed without social media and online videos. And even if they were, other cases that are kind of similar to this have not found the corporation

I don’t feel good about this case- on the one hand, I’m all for sticking it to big corporations. On the other hand, nobody has claimed that Meta and YouTube were doing anything illegal, so this case is different from civil suits brought aft

This is what the US’s defense production act is for. If a company makes a critical product, the US has openly stated that it will compel a company to prioritize making that product in times of need. They can’t refuse. This is also why the U

Thanks, I read your article and my main reaction is that I'm saddened by the loss of data on those few unreadable discs. I hope it wasn't something you'll need to dig up in a few years.
