You cannot attrite 40% of the company in 5 months, without creating an incredibly toxic environment. Dorsey knows this; ultimately he lost Twitter over his inability to right size it. I would bet dollars to donuts he promised himself he wou

I'd love a working bone conduction headset. Also a subvocalization to agent thingy that worked.

slop. also stupid. bad llm. phone values drop 60%+ per year. if you re-parse this without spending all your time on em-dashes you will note that it slows diffusion of next-gen chips, it does not cut off those users.

gemini 3 deepthink + 5.3 xxhigh code audits catch a lot. Materially better than six months ago on the security side. Also, yes. Still something that needs expert oversight.

I second this. Especially with a coding assistant, there's no reason not to start out with proper data model migration. It's not hard, and is one of the many ways to enforce some process accountability, always useful for the LLMs

They forgot the single most important (bad) choice. Claude Code chooses npm. All the time. For everything. I noted the Claude Code lead dev has a full line in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md - "Use bun." Yes. Please. Please, use bun. I b

Not sure why this link and/or question is here, except to say LLMs like this incantation. It redirects STDERR (2) to where STDOUT is piped already (&1). Good for dealing with random CLI tools if you're not a human.

Interesting. Whatever they are doing it's a bit different than Anthropic and oAI, which is good for the consumer. I'm curious about their ML Ops internally; would be fascinating to learn more.

Meanwhile Apple iPhone sales were up 23% YoY end of last year. It'll likely be a good year for Apple, with a little more room in margin to make some plays, and a lottt of cash.

Interesting they get to rev this with the release of a new flash model. I'm speculating part of the distil pipeline includes the image gen stuff; that seems like internal tooling that will pay dividends over time, if true. New frontier

the workflow right now would be to take this images, make a sequence of them for key "shots" and send them to an I2V model. LTX-2 is the model the r/stablediffusion folks are playing with right now, but there are a fair few.

Woof. Impedance mismatch outcome from moving fast - the GCP auth model was never designed to work like oAI's API key model; this isn't the only pain point this year, but it's a nasty one. I'm sympathetic, except that dea

dammmmmmnnnn - lots to like here. I'm impressed with the 80,000 parallel website fuzzing desktops. And the 30hz (everything). Amazing.

The groq purchase was designed to not trigger federal oversight of mergers, so you buy out the ‘interesting’ part, leave a skeleton team and a line of business you don’t care about -> no CFIUS, no mandatory FTC reporting -> smoother p

Anthropic. Listen carefully to Dario’s public statements; you could just pull his most recent Dwarkesh interview for example - worth a listen in any event. He is guilty of an engineer’s use of the word profit when he says “we never made a p

I like this. I've bought a lot of CnC flatpack furniture in my day, and also employed a number of excellent cabinet makers. Room for both.

For the thousandth time - they. make. a. profit. Inference margin is over 60%, today. They are spending that money training ever-larger models, so they are cashflow negative , but under almost any sane GAAP treatment that does not allow on

Ooh cool. I’ve been hacking on something very similar, https://qntm.corpo.llc/ . I’d love to compare notes — been thinking a lot about the group messaging side.

That was definitely written by a call center employee. We have no idea what the real story at google is, or the real story on the account, except to say that there are some definite hack-like maneuvers one must do to get openclaw working th

To me this is the worst sort of journalism - couched in neutral language, it's an editorial piece disguised as a 'facts' piece. Facts - DJB, largely right, at times a decade+ early, is fighting with standards boards. He does

Yeah and a team I’m not familiar with — I didn’t check bios but they don’t lead with ‘our team made this or that gpu for this or that bigco’. The design ip at 6nm is still tough; I feel like this team must have at least one real genius and

I think they’d commission a quant directly. Benefits go down a lot when you leave model families.

This math is useful. Lots of folks scoffing in the comments below. I have a couple reactions, after chatting with it: 1) 16k tokens / second is really stunningly fast. There’s an old saying about any factor of 10 being a new science &#

The lede is sort of in there, but buried - or at least not talked about from an economic perspective: Right now, women consumers put up with one-ish body type (although fit model shapes vary by brand) - manufacturers thus make up to ten siz

Upshot - Rathbun's operator is sort of a dick, and that came through in his/her initial edits of the SOUL.md file. Which then got 'enhanced', probably through moltbook engagement. And at times the agent was switching dow
