They are, but I was proposing they're closely correlated.

The Amish are skilled at getting cash from the “English” as they call non-Amish. I imagine they also think that the money they receive is roughly tied to value they create. I wasn’t talking valuations, just revenue - money that CFOs and ind

Agreed. We do have a way to see the financial impact - just add up Anthropic and oAI's reported revenues -> something like $30b in annual run rate. Given growth rates, (stratospheric), it seems reasonable to conclude informed buyers

Totally! What you’ll hear from DAF folks is “we have to sell everything we get in when we get it” -> not true, managed by disclosures “Our job is managing volatility of the donated assets, so getting volatile assets would be bad for the

Chase, I was an early donor and had forgotten about Watsi — thank you for the reminder and congratulations! You should be super proud. Plus, the experience you got here will serve you in good stead if you decide to do a commercial venture —

Sadly I was not long the stock then. I remember clearly a very bad investment decision day - I got a model 3, loved it, sold my Volvo XC60 Inscription, heretofore my favorite daily driver - and did not buy TSLA stock with the proceeds. Expe

Interesting crash list. A bunch of low speed crashes, one bus hit the Tesla while the Tesla was stationary, and one 17mph into static object (ouch). For those complaining about Tesla's redactions - fair and good. That said, Tesla forme

FWIW, I agree. Frontier LLMs are on their way to becoming competent stylists (I ask every major model release to write up a sample essay as Hemingway, and they are improving), but they are often skin-deep.

According to whom, though, good sir?? I did a little research in the GPT-3 era on whether cultural norms varied by language - in that era, yes, they did

by vessenes 8mo ago
Or some cultures are more conservative? And it's embedded in language?

Yes, I get more and more visceral reactions to it. I'm reminded of JPEG artifacts - unnoticeable in 1993!

Meh. Semantic Ablation - but toward a directed goal. If I say "How would Hemingway have said this, provided he had the same mindset he did post-war while writing for Collier's?" Then the model will look for clusters that don&

Every few years I get to thinking I want to do some research on this and then maybe make a combo karma age filter, and then I go read some posts from 2017 and I think “it was better, but I don’t know if it was that much better.” Excepting t

Awesome! Looking forward to it

Riffing on this a little, there’s a few things that would be useful: 1 - global namespace - for the gateway agent/coordinator - would make inspecting results of subagent tasks much more safe and efficient, and all the benefits of preci

Love it. Yes, compaction is a huge pain point in openclaw, and it EATS tokens.

This looks super useful! And it’s intellectually appealing to think that the LLM will have the ability to think back precisely and we can rely on DAG tooling to reason about and keep track of history (and correct history). Have you consider

Can someone experienced in this space explain this to me in mid-tier engineering terms? Are chiplets physically connected chips that come from different wafers? Or are they designs that can be ‘dragged and dropped’? If they’re physically co

Cool. I think it would be nice to normalize against users (or active users). 2016-era HN had its share of negativism, but it also had a lot less people - the light green from those charts is misleading.

I’m just personally really excited about building cli tools that are deployed with uvx. One line, instructions to add a skill, no faffing about with the mcp spec and server implementations. Feels like so much less dev friction.

Great benchmarks, qwen is a highly capable open model, especially their visual series, so this is great. Interesting rabbit hole for me - its AI report mentions Fennec (Sonnet 5) releasing Feb 4 -- I was like "No, I don't think so

Well it’s not even just data, you have to trust actions taken if you want the assist to, you know, assist. I have been yoloing it and really enjoying it. Albeit from a locked off server.

I mean `claude -p "spin up a python webserver in this directory please"` or alternately `python -m http.server 8080 --bind 127.0.0.1 --directory .` is not hard

This is the best sort of correct, in that it’s technically correct. The thing is, We don’t need 5.3 xxhigh reasoning for everything. Giving up some intelligence, and then taking the hit on some inevitable re-runs / re-prompts at 15x en

Simon notes this benchmark is win-win, since he loves pictures of pelicans riding bicycles — if they spend time benchmaxxing it’s like free pelicans for him. He originally promised to generate a bunch more animals when we got a “good” pelic

Ben, thanks for working on this! I instantly flashed back to the mid to late 80s when I saw the screenshots; I’m certain I played this game as a pre-teen. Just let us know how we can buy it.

Spacewar was ported to Plato from Control Data; I played a little, but I played a lottt of Avatar. There are a number of Plato games that probably have some older / early game developers. Out of curiosity I just looked up Avatar, Bruce

I think for something like this they might be pretty scalable actually - give 2000 grad students the problem and coffee and I bet they’d go massively parallel and self organize into useful sizes and build some knowledge sharing.

Cool! One pain point I have with openclaw is compaction. It uses so many tokens that compaction happens often - but I'd say it's not great at keeping the thread. I think this could be a nice little benefit you offer folks if you c

Totally agree. And I hope he continues to be a sort of confident red-teamer like he has been, it's immensely valuable. At some level if he ever drinks the AGI kool-aid we will just be looking for another him to keep making up harder te
