You can prevent that by making sure these people have a lot to lose. Which means you start by paying them enough money. Wait, European you said? Never mind. Only politicians and the very rich deserve money is the law here. The owners of Eur

I don't understand. This distills a diffusion transformer out of Qwen3. And while the provably identical is nice, a full diffusion transformer would be a lot faster still.

This 100x. It's like outsourcing call-centers to the third world. Did that improve service? Is there anyone at all daring to make that claim? It did not. It was slightly cheaper. Not even that much. AI is like that. It gives a much wor

Isn't this highly illegal, and worst of all: this is cheating taxes ... Let's just say if you really want to commit crimes, don't start with challenging the IRS. Just don't. There's so many horror stories about that

True. As long as we can agree that that means that tripling the current compensation is a necessity. Quadrupling it (ie. matching entry-level FANG) is not that necessary. Btw: there is also the aspect that while children can get inspired

No I mean that in code search you could click "edit" and just change something, which would then post a CL immediately, which you could set to auto-approve, for quick changes. I believe it was part of cider (the first non-vscode v

Oh the reason it is a lie, of course, is not so much the number itself but the fact that it gets redefined, most recently with the purpose of a "robust updating". The new definition of inflation, of course, always seem to define i
