the major labs want to advance science. current business use cases are a happy accident

this is not a good measure of current model capability. we need to test agents in harnesses, not models with a single prompt test Codex, not Sol. test Claude code, not Opus

I really enjoyed this. This talk contains a powerful message of optimism, possibility, agency and power that resonates strongly with me. Computers and technology are force multipliers for humanity. As coders, we are lucky to be gifted with

this is pretty nonsense for a small or home server. it isn't that hard to make something essentially completely bulletproof over a small surface area the issues mainly come from sprawling enterprise infrastructure, running thousands of

chips run way hotter than 20C, and radiative cooling scales to the fourth power of temperature. check the math

radiators about the same size and weight as solar panels will do the trick there is already a h100 in orbit 1GW of compute is a lot in 2026. comparing 100GW of annual compute to SpaceX 2026 goals does not make sense if Starship launch cost

token cost for the $100 video was $3.25 for Sol 5.6 and $25.05 (!) for Fable 5 for the $25 video it was $4.27 (Sol) vs $16.99 (Fable) this seems like an interesting benchmark of a complex task, even if the output has little artistic merit.

it's well documented that models can be adversarially trained with essentially backdoors in response to special inputs while I am skeptical that this is happening atm, there are probably many industries where the risk does not seem wor

critique of writing style isn't made better by claiming it was authored by an LLM

that's exactly what I'm saying. understanding is good you didn't re-invent it, you learned it from a teacher and then practiced until you understood it to the required degree

it's an interesting point. is it worthwhile to struggle through an incidental task that has been solved before? we all stand on the shoulders of giants I think in most cases, understanding is the point. we don't expect students to

when a parent answers their child's question, does it decrease the curiosity of the child? many children have an unlimited capacity to ask "why?". many adults are the same if the abilities of AI are finite, then we will conti

my comment is pushback against claiming "this generation" as uniquely doomed, and doomerism in general

why does me using AI affect your motivation at all?

Google is only a good example because you can point to major inconsistencies between their mission and their actions OpenAI might have the same flaw, but you need to demonstrate it, not just assume it

disassembly only applies to client side software something like nginx could arguably be more secure if it was closed source (I am a proponent of and contributor to open source)

the big labs have already been doing this for at least a year

can you elaborate? the original mission was "advance digital intelligence in a way that benefits all of humanity" I don't see an inconsistency. money is pragmatic, the mission needs money
