Long time knitter - this is genuinely interesting. I’m trying to think of a killer use case for this, because scaling this up to create something for production looks pretty hard to me, or at least like it’s going to take 5+ years, and that

Released last week. Looks like all the weights are now out and published. Don’t sleep on the SAM 3D series — it’s seriously impressive. They have a human pose model which actually rigs and keeps multiple humans in a scene with objects, all

Yes, I think Silverman and Pipher worked together on NTRU together. I went through and helped develop a tiny bit of the undergrad crypto curriculum there, but I wasn’t what you’d call social with the department, so this may be inaccurate :)

My use case was adding the ability to charge for MCP calls to remote MCP providers. This involves a “simple on paper” wrap, proxy, insert tools on the proxy/charging server side. A number of the paradigms you mention just aren’t great,

There is a LOT under the surface. custom routes, bidirectional streaming choices (it started as a "local first" protocol). Implementing an endpoint from scratch is not easy, and the spec documentation moves very quickly, and gener

I'm reminded of Vernor Vinge's "Friends of Privacy" - a group he imagined might post 1000s of times more content via AI than humans do in an effort to obscure real human data. Keep it up!

I'm confused about these tools - is this a decorator that you can add to your MCP server tools so that they don't pollute the context? How else would I add a "tool" for claude to use?

> "If I could short MCP, I would" I mean, MCP is hard to work with. But there's a very large set of things that we want a hardened interface to out there - if not MCP, it will be something very like it. In particul

Ooooh, it bothers me, so, so, so much. Too perky. Weirdly casual. Also, it's based on the old 4o code - sycophancy and higher hallucinations - watch out. That said, I too love the omni models, especially when they're not nerfed. (

There's no bright line - you should download some cli tools, hook up some agents to them and see what you think. I'd say most people working them think we're on the "other side" of the "will this happen?"

I like this plan, too - gemini's recent series have long seemed to have the best large context awareness vs competing frontier models - anecdotally, although much slower, I think gpt-5's architecture plans are slightly better.

Eric, congrats. Typo in the first photo caption: "in all it's glory" -> "in all its glory"

Thank you for your service. Also, one of the main issues from the outside seems to me to be the impedance mismatch between google's entire cloud business and the direct-to-dev type API access oAI and Anthropic have pioneered. So, there

My professors at Brown were walking on QR lattice cryptography well before 1997, although they may not have been publishing much - NTRU was in active development throughout the mid 1990s when I was there. Heating up by 1997 though, for sure

I posted above, but most of the 'really hard' bits come from the unreasonable complexity of actual computing vs the more manageable complexity of computing-with-idealized-software. That is, an algorithm and compiler and tool safet

in the NIST Curve arena, I think DJB's main concern is engineering implementation - from an online slide deck he published: We’re writing a document “Security dangers of the NIST curves” Focus on the prime-field NIST curves DLP

very reasonable ideas! Of course creators could license for this term right now, but generally they do not have the bargaining power when they need it.

It doesn't, in practice. Consider the NPV of year 36 with, say, a 10% discount rate. It's low. Also, having watched directly some fairly famous friends deal with property coming up on the 35 year mark, media companies are adept at

it's a double edged sword -- media companies are generally franchise/lifetime hits oriented businesses - they pay (and generally lose, per investment, btw) for a shot at a hit. On the one hand, imagine they could only negotiate ri

It's clear from the readme that a coding agent made (or at least helped make) this, and.. that's awesome! I love that someone got a local poker server with web ui together because they wanted to. I wish I could try it without down

Oh man, there is so, so much pain here. Random example - if GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true in your environment, woe betide you if you're trying to use gemini cli with an API key. Error messages don't match up with actual problems,

You could head for Chesterton as well: "anything worth doing is worth doing poorly."

funny, but if you read the mecha-hitler tech debrief, mecha hitler was a 'sycophancy' bug, a-la gpt4o, if you gave gpt4o all your edge-lord tweets, and told it to be funny back to you and connect with you. Probably not grok's

OK, interesting. It does the best yet at my favorite creative writing prompt; I won't put the whole thing here, but essentially I ask an LLM to tell the story of RFK jr and the bear in the style of Hemingway's WW2 Collier essays,
