It's kind of amazing that this took so long. On the other hand, this is just chapter 3025223 of the failed war on drugs and we can be confident that people will find something worse as an alternative.

A lot of the work that coding agents do requires tons of random access to files, which MacOS is particularly slow at. Not because the hardware is bad, mind you. Mac SSDs are amazing. It’s the file system. Secondly, MacOS supervises processe

And, make coding harnesses run 20x faster at many multi-processing and file operations by running the coding harness itself inside of Linux instead of MacOS…

You are not wrong, but the practical reality of local hardware is to be batch-constrained in comparison with a multi-user inference cloud. You will never be able to compete cost effectively in your home lab with a cloud that has >100M en

Here’s the two main reasons why local inference won’t compete any time soon with the cloud: 1. Most useful LLM work is done in parallel. A Mac Mini can run one LLM inference thread at a time. The cloud can spool up dozens and spread that in

I disagree with this assessment. Theo is nerdy and, yes, he has a healthy ego. But, he provides insightful commentary on his channel and he works very hard to present what he believes is the truth. Compared to many YouTubers, whose content

I’m guessing the OrbStack team will probably support MacOS native containers soon enough, with all their management goodness on top.

How much time have you spent with Fable? We're in new territory here. It does not create messes.

It’s not about Iridium. It’s about Iridium’s customers and partnerships. RocketLab hopes to launch their own satellites presumably and then can sell significantly improved services to them, without having to build a customer base from scrat

And anyone who has done an introductory course in VLSI design would know that capacitance (coupling) is something you usually want to get rid of. However, all kinds of amazing analog circuits have been developed over the decades that exploi

What they are trying to achieve is to demonstrate that the coupling approach works in a simulated physics environment (O(n^2) as you point out) so that they can then build CMOS circuits that create actual oscillators and then let the laws o

It's pretty great that you are providing the undistilled model on day 0. Here's a pro-tip: With Flux.2 Klein, someone created a turbo slider LoRA - basically a diff of the turbo 9B model vs. the undistilled 9B model. What's g

This is a massive technical report for an open weights image gen model. As someone who has followed this space closely, it’s really cool to read about the behind-the-scenes experimentation and effort that went into the final product. I hope

Good points. I would refine my comment: Canada has isolated examples of excellent megaproject execution, but lacks a system that reproduces that performance reliably. The nuclear announcement is credible only insofar as Canada can replicate

You're right: you didn’t claim a lack of engineering competence. I introduced that distinction. Sorry. If the question is whether the Canadian society can build reliably, then governance and political instability count as part of its o

Canada is not an infrastructure “joke.” It is a country with some world-class delivery organizations operating inside a political system that too often destroys continuity. Relative to the G7, that makes it mediocre and volatile, not unique

My first year English teacher would be impressed. The lack of em dash characters in a paper would get you a failing grade back in 1995.

True. Z.AI ran that bench themselves and report 46.2, which is lower than GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8, but crushing the other open weights models. https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.2

DeepSWE “feels” like the right benchmark in comparison to Artificial Analysis indices and other coding benchmarks. And by their metrics, GPT-5.5 is still king in token efficiency, speed, and overall intelligence per dollar. https:/&#x

Congratulations to the Intercom founders. This is a great result for them and the early backers of the company, for a product that I feel was executed brilliantly. We can criticize the usual enterprise-sales-y trajectory and enshittificatio

Is there any evidence that this actually takes place in a consistent, widespread manner?

I'm not sure whether you're aware of how racist this comment may sound to many readers here on HN, but you're definitely echoing the sentiment of many Canadians who sense that "foreigners" are taking away their jobs

There is actually a sensible way to do recruit foreign workers to fill jobs that locals for some reason can't fill, and it's just a few miles up north... Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is not limited by annu

What you’re experiencing is the difference in model intelligence. Most models can seem pretty good at simple stuff over short time horizons. Complex work requires that more intelligence be stuffed into those trillion-dimensional spaces.
