I doubt it's the bureaucratic cost (the Transparency part), because Meta can devolve most of it onto advertisers, and with their solution they still have the bureaucratic cost of preventing political ads from being served at all. But t

It's difficult to come up with the optimal workflow on the first try. So an API should typically start out flexible even at the expense of complexity, in order to enable experimentation, and then you can optimize to make the common c

In none of those cases did the market converge as a result of the insider betting, it was only discovered with hindsight that someone had placed a suspiciously well-timed large bet. So that's where "they limit their bet amount for

In theory, an insider willing to take any positive-expectation bet would drive the market price arbitrary close to the correct answer, but in practice they might be under NDA and want to avoid getting caught, or they limit their bet amount

Note that the 80% are qualified with "inside eight large data center hubs created in China’s “East West Computing Strategy”." Most new data centers are built elsewhere and will use whatever source of energy is most convenient.

A list of hardware platforms doesn't make a use case. Do you have an active deployment of Needle that is noticeably useful, and if so, what do you have it do?

If you use a model hosted in China while it's night there, the energy obviously doesn't come from solar, as there's not enough storage capacity. Even if you use it during daytime, most of the energy still won't come from

Willingness to pay. If people are willing to use Astra instead of Sol even if it costs twice as much, OpenAI has no need to make it cheaper. Prices only reflect costs in a competitive market where customers actively seek out cheaper alterna

That it's slow doesn't mean it can't handle the traffic, just that this speed is the optimal tradeoff to them. They benefit from serving more tokens by exploiting parallelism across users at a lower number of tokens per secon

There was a housing crisis in 1987, too: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/02/opinion/l-time-to-be-seri... I'm not sure there ever was a time without a housing crisis.

They had had a long battle with what looks to be hundreds of participants and there were a few wounded, but nobody died. Compare with e.g. battles in the ancient Mediterranean, where the fighting would have continued until one side panics a

To be clear, I was doing a reductio ad absurdum . PAC is precisely the kind of theoretical framework that concerns itself with asymptotic long-run behavior. An appropriate definition of simplicity certainly gets you to the goal much faster

The notion of "simplicity" can be completely arbitrary, though. It's enough that there are only finitely many hypotheses simpler than the best hypothesis (assuming there's such a thing as a best hypothesis). So as you el

A hacking model is aligned if it hacks when you ask it to hack, but when you ask it to play chess, it just plays chess instead of looking for weaknesses in the evaluation setup, as in the article. I presume you would also be less enthusiast

It would hardly have become a popular slang term on the Chinese internet if it were only about the worries of a small minority of capital owners. Any kind of excessive competition dynamics may be described as neijuan . I would like to give

The next sentence is "On a personal level, neijuan reflects a life of being overworked, stressed, anxious and feeling trapped, a lifestyle where many face the negative effects of living a very competitive life for nothing."

For agentic tasks where the model outputs tool calls that run on the customer's computer, you can't just store and eval later, because then the execution environment is no longer available.
