Careful. If you admit to using models that weren't trained by OpenAI or Anthropic then you might hauled in front of Congress: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3362616/us...

I have a lot of problems with Aschenbrenner and the "Rationalist" community as a whole, but this is not a factually correct characterization of Effective Altruism.

Yes. For example, third-party inference providers serve DeepSeek V4 Flash just as cheaply as DeepSeek themselves, if not even more so. This is very strong evidence that the low price of the model is not subsidized.

We can guess based on the decisions of other inference providers who serve these models.

I get that this is a nice benchmark in that the result can be judged visually, but it seems extraordinarily far from what people actually use these models for.

The message is a lot better than what Amodei and Altman are pushing at least.

Oracle routing is by definition not possible.

How so?

I don't think we should care about Jim Cramer's opinions, no matter what he's saying.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with "whataboutism" and it is in fact often illuminating.

OpenAI and Anthropic are both defense contractors. SpaceXAI too, obviously.

It was the work itself. Embedded systems are already known for bad tooling. Once safety certification gets thrown in the mix you're limited to ancient broken versions of GCC that have been rebranded and certified, and are thus more fit

Maybe I'm a control freak, but asking agents to one-shot random apps is nothing like how I actually use AI in software engineering.

The name conflicts with a somewhat obscure but very influential language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(programming_language) .

Exactly. I mentioned that those queues aren't formally obstruction-free because the context of the conversation was new developments in wait-free queues, even though I have only needed the guarantee once in my career and end up using d

This was the very best bounded MPMC queue when I last looked into these things years ago, and as far as descendants of the Vyukov MPMC cycle queue go, I don't think it's possible to do much better. I think your citation date is of

Both Vyukov queues are fast and useful in practice, but neither is even obstruction-free, let alone lock-free or wait-free.

by platinumrad 3mo ago
I suspect the search space of low-complexity, or at least what I'd consider "low-complexity", wait-free queues is pretty much exhausted at this point.

The years keep on getting bigger, but these prediction timelines stopped being credible like 3 timelines ago.

Has Anthropic published any legitimately interesting research in the last year? The last two years? Everything they publish is like this.

Linux has a very stable userspace syscall ABI. About as stable as Windows, and much more stable than MacOS or the BSDs. I agree with everything else though.

So you're saying it's more important to safeguard slop outputs than the original work of human beings.

If I were writing this language, I'd probably just compile it to Go, although that means Rust extensions would either incur cgo costs or have to be replaced with Go extensions.
