This president’s view appears to be that if it happens in the executive branch he has 100% arbitrary personal control over it. He’s the CEO of the government and he makes the calls. If someone claims there’s a legal reason he can’t do it, h

Any examples of the previous time a major feature was renamed purely by executive order and justified only by a trade dispute?

I have a similar problem, except I needed to ring the actual doorbell. Currently I'm using a HomeKit-compatible video doorbell that communicates over proprietary radio to its wifi gateway that triggers a HomeKit automation (which presu

My current theory is that this reflects a weakness in Claude’s ability to see the “big picture”. When writing code, I have to explicitly tell it how to structure things at a high level, or the result is sort of a flattened spaghetti. Simila

That’s fair, there are cases where the transaction itself has some worth to the buyer for reputational or other reasons, independent of the item being purchased. Those are rather unusual cases, but they happen. There are contracts that in

APIs, sure, but do they provide the semi-magical consistency, atomicity, durability, and latency guarantees that this depends on?

There’s a trend of doing impressive things by pushing many of the hard problems into S3 and assuming S3 “just works”, then not bothering to explain how S3 works. I guess we do the same thing all the time with other miraculous solutions to h

On the contrary, you would be demonstrating that, to at least one buyer, it was worth that. By definition. I think the argument you’re really looking to contradict is this: if 1% of a company is worth $1B to somebody, then somebody would

“Behind” = less capable, less used, less resourced. Safety and alignment don’t necessarily correlate with market dominance. If they did, no safety regulations would be needed.

A lot of people wanted to talk about this at the time, and the election result was after the training cutoff, so I’d guess they threw this in there to reduce waste due to hallucinations and/or web searches.

There is no valid public interest in having secret police.

Good news, we now know up front what an independent port would cost, and it’s not much. So no reason AWS, Google, and friends couldn’t bang out their own port if they want, binary-compatible with this one. What we don’t know for sure is whe

That question makes me think about Boeing. Or NASA. Or Enron. Reality always wins, no matter what management and Investor Relations says.

I have seen elevators, usually in a big building with a lot of elevators, that do act that way (presumably using weight sensors?). I’ve read that some elevators also have a “kid mode” that does the opposite: if some kid pushes all the butto

That is just RDMA itself and seems to be aimed directly at distributed inference (no surprise there!). Now they need to update the SMB driver to make use of it.

I don’t think “you” in these titles ever really refers to an “average reader”. Some familiarity with the field is required. Imagine how non-programmers (and many programmers) feel about some examples I just Googled: “You Could Have Invented

A few models ago it was not unusual to find that Claude had written tests whose assertions looked correct, but were so thoroughly mocked out that they ran no real code at all — a Potemkin test. I haven’t seen it do that in quite a while, bu

If you look at the reasons for rewriting Bun [0], they weren’t about efficiency and they don’t apply to Claude Code. It’s already written in a memory-safe language, and doesn’t have to interface to a library with a tricky set of invariants.

In the specific case of ship retrospectives, I prefer to call them “postpartums”.

I think you misread the article. The skepticism isn’t about whether it happened . It’s about whether it’s a reason for models to be locked behind “trusted partner” firewalls. Offensive hacking capabilities are the same as defensive. Huggin

Yes indeed. Sorry if I was unclear in my wording...I meant: * Fretted cellos would have the same fingering positions as unfretted cellos (frets are placed where the notes are, they don't set where the notes are). * All parallel-strin

While cellos, violins, etc. don't technically have frets, the notes are of course in the same layout as instruments that do have frets, so this same method works. (It's funny how different instruments live in their own worlds. Onc

No, the diagram looks like a binary literal but it's actually backwards from that. Lane 0 becomes the LSB, but that's on the left of the diagram.

Yes. "`@reduce(.And, ...)` combines every boolean using `and` and returns a single boolean." If it's true (the common case here) then you proceed to look at the next 8 bytes. If it's false, you apply a @bitcast (turn the

You left out the hyphen in human-like, and the final period, so now we know you aren’t human. Nice try though.

I’m responding to the “quietly disbanded” part. Neither is true; they continue to loudly come up with new initiatives. I don’t even know that they “decided it’s true”, as that’s irrelevant to the strategy, which is just to maintain a contin
