I don't think they 'index' videos, per se. They just point the model at the video's transcript on demand when you ask a question, I believe. Doesn't change any of your conclusions, though. You're absolutely rig

My bad! You do list that you're an aeronautics person. I would genuinely genuinely love to understand what I'm missing – I'm sure there's some context here that I'm lacking!

You asked me why the problem of circling waiting for your turn would vanish when using VTOL aircraft. I don't know how to respond to that with anything other than, "That's the entire point of VTOL. It doesn't need one of

Guessing that this is where Apple's AI proxy will live (i.e. expect your next macOS version to exchange a lot of requests with this)?

Saying 'underwater' would have been reasonable, but 'underwater on inference' is a nonsense way to say it.

... because the entire point of VTOL (which is what the parent commentary was about) is that you can take off and land vertically and therefore don't need one of a few, scarce, super-long runways? ... and the waiting you're talkin

> Anthropic’s CFO testified under oath this March that the company spent $10 billion on compute and made $5 billion in revenue (Ed Zitron has the math). The labs are underwater on inference. They’re raising prices to keep the lights on.

... air traffic jams? The air is _much_ bigger than the corresponding ground. Certainly there'd be density _at_ take-off and landing, but even that's manageable by having e.g. arrival/departure locations at multiple heights.

This conclusion is... kinda absurd. In any reasonable setup, hovering would be a rare, rare operation (like 30-60 seconds during takeoff and landing), with most of the time spent in wing-borne forward flight – which'd be _wildly_ lower

Maybe I'm missing something really obvious, but... 3,800 repos? I guess I find it kind of surprising they have that many!

Google's 3.5 Flash – which came out yesterday – is 200-300 tokens/second (albeit purportedly inefficient in its use of reasoning tokens) and according to Google, 800-1500+ tokens/second on their 8i TPUs when they're out!

Thank you for pointing that out! If 3.7-Max makes its way to Fireworks that'd be a joy.

As they start to release more proprietary models, I so wish that they partnered with one of the major US hyperscalers to allow using these models through something US-domiciled. Totally understand why it may not be reasonable or in their be

I'm super glad that they're doing this, but once again unexcited for another decade of Apple self-privileging on this stuff so they're the only ones allowed to touch or improve any of this surface, or UX outside an app's

Try turning off LTO. Their default codex-rs/Cargo.toml uses `lto = "fat"`, which is... expensive and slow and... you really really don't need it for a local build that you're not distributing. In my experience, alth

You can do this from the CLI - `codex remote-control` works on Linux (I have no affiliation, just something I noticed). They might just not have cut a new build yet, today. It 'works' on master, but the mobile app thinks that your

It's refreshing that unlike Anthropic's Remote Control, this actually... works. Feels like a testament to the value in taking time and doing it properly. Now if only codex got its 1M token context window back. --- Edit: Hmmm. Mayb

It also in the case of an LLM can bias it towards using that sort of flag more commonly, which is less than ideal when it then uses a more ordinary Unix command that uses that to mean something dangerous.

We've all seen that AI can give you plausible but incorrect answers. Having an expert read it or use AI on it and interpret and validate it before posting would be most welcome IMO.
