Zyn is freebase nicotine which does show some signs of being performance enhancing; mostly around focus. There are a lot of people with unmedicated ADHD self-medicating with Zyn, or vapes, or smoking due to the this.

Fun fact: the stress that smoking cigarettes relieves is only the stress caused by the addiction/relapse from nicotine. Surely, there might be some placebo effects going on, but nicotine is not a stress relieving chemical. So really it

If he doesn’t do it someone else will. Also, I’m sure Peter Thiel being one of his first major investors has something to do with it.

What's a bummer is that Walter is a smart and talented engineer, yet has a very stubborn and out of touch economic perspective that is at least half a century expired. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Bright

Body weight is controllable, but is not the same thing as obesity, but scientific evidence does not suggest obesity is voluntary, but I'm not trying to talk about obesity. I was just merely using it as a proxy for societal health, beca

It makes sense. The ~$10 someone saves pumping at Costco is easily made up in the >$100 shopping trip they are making, or compared to lifetime spend.

It is way too early to tell. If we are comparing to web browsers we are in the early 90s with Netscape, IE, Firefox, etc. I don't even think we are at the point where agent's have a metaphorical JavaScript, we are that early. The

What is being absorbed into weights is tool usage. It is incredibly counterproductive to train models on a specific harness, when instead it can be trained to reason about the tools that it has available to itself and how to best use those

Yes. We seek answers to why we feel so different or out of place socially living in a society. It has nothing to do with reminding ourselves of our shortcomings (although some do find humor in self-deprecation), but with the ways that socie

ADHD, OCD, BPD, bipolar are all forms of neurodivergent. I'm sure there are more too.

Non sequitur and false equivalence. Men being disadvantaged in the justice system doesn't inherently make it matriarchal. Absolutely absurd point to bring up to deflect on racial injustices.

This has largely been shown to be false. Claude performs better outside of Claude Code, for example. Some models are just better at using tools than others.

I was looking it last night and the repo is something like 600k lines of Zig. Maybe 500k after comments and blank lines. In my own experiments to build a tiny zig agent it came out to under 800kb.

OpenRouter allows you to have 1 API key to access hundreds of models across dozens of providers. Can’t explain the valuation since everything in this space is rationally overvalued, but I don’t think OpenRouters valuation is that surprising

This is exciting. Their 9B model benchmarks competitively with Sonnet 4 which is pretty cool to have such a small model compared to one that came out 10 months ago. I’m curious how providers will price their 397B model.

What are you trying to say? Are you implying there is no good evidence that Netenyahu is committing war crimes in Gaza? Whether or not their actions are justified, war crimes are not.

They might raise the price, but I don't think they will ever get rid of the $20 tier. It is way too consumer friendly and likely has the highest percentage of users that aren't abusing their quota limits. A layperson will be extre

Based on what? Slippery slope fallacy? There are real reasons why people don’t want their community to have a DC, which are wildly different than the entitled NIMBYism that isn’t against multi-family housing and mass transit. Put a data cen
