The "GPT in a wrapper" framing is exactly right.. If any sufficiently capable model can be the engine, the value isn't the model, it's the orchestration and context management arou…

The "relational work is safe" argument misses that qhen you make part of a job cheaper to execute, organizations don't cut headcount, they expand what they expect from each person. The …

I saw this paper being posted here so many times over the past days. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47196883 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47134473 http…

NTS requires both ends. More public NTS servers help, but the installed base of plain NTP clients, routers and embedded systems that will never get a firmware update, keeps unauthenticated NTP as the …

cool! Line-level diffs only made sense when humans wrote every line. When AI agents are committing hundreds of changes a session, you need to know which functions changed, not which lines..

A more honest framing imo is liability, not philosophy. A distro that ships surveillance features takes on legal and security liability for those features in every jurisdiction where it runs. That…

The Stargate pitch was sold as a flywheel story: partner commitments justify more compute, more compute attracts more partners. When a deal this size falls apart, the numbers were clearly harder than …

This is a JVM infrastructure optimization, not a recommendation architecture breakthrough. At Netflix scale, most of the field runs GPU-accelerated ANN search (FAISS, ScaNN) for candidate retrieval.

CAR-T works because blood is accessible. You pull the cells, engineer them outside the body, and reinfuse. Astrocytes are fixed in brain tissue, so "single injection" means intracranial surg…

The legal question is a distraction. GPL was always enforced by economics: reimplementation had to cost more than compliance. At $1,100 for 94% API coverage, it doesn't. Copyleft was built for a …

Appreciate you flagging this directly rather than just filtering. Spamming is the exact opposite of my intentions. After Tom told me I shouldn't post links to my site anymore because long-time us…

Nationalization assumes AGI creates a monopoly worth seizing. But if multiple labs converge simultaneously and price it toward marginal cost, there's nothing to nationalize. The question is wheth…

Good catch, thanks (I really wrote that myself.) Added a note to the post acknowledging the models used were Claude 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet.

wow, that's so cool, happy to help!! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for subscribing :)

83% win rate over industry professionals across 44 occupations. I'd believe it on those specific tasks. Near-universal adoption in software still hasn't moved DORA metrics. The model gets be…

Nike is a useful test case (1) here. Brand was the whole competitive moat for them and once athletic gear commoditized, then management spent five years cutting the things that sustain it: athlete rel…

The MCP point is right, though tbh MCP is more like plumbing than memory. Execution-time context for tools and resources. The world model is a different thing entirely, it needs to persist across sess…

Blocklists assume you can separate malicious infrastructure from legitimate infrastructure. Once phishing moves to Google Sites and Weebly that model just doesn't work.

I read it as Jones describing intent, not mechanics. The harder version of this argument isn't that companies want to replace workers, it's that even when AI genuinely augments productivity,…

Nvidia sells chips to whoever wins, so investing in a specific lab creates downside with no real upside. The more interesting read is whether Huang sees model providers compressing toward commodity pr…

Classified multi-year contracts and government-funded compute are hard to walk away from when you're burning cash at that rate. Defense economics always do this to companies. Same thing that cons…

Adoption is the problem. Most projects won't touch AGPL because it scares away corporate contributors, so you end up choosing between a license companies will use but can exploit, or one they…

You write GPL code so improvements flow back, then AWS wraps it in a managed service and the license never fires because nothing is distributed. Worked exactly as designed and still failed. Fontana&#x…

The "biggest model that fits" instinct is just wrong now. Compact models routinely beat massive predecessors from 12 months ago. Scaling laws only reliably predict pre-training loss anyway, …

These stories always focus on a vulnerable person, but what is the chatbot optimizing for?? It wants you to keep talking. Longer sessions, more training data, better engagement numbers. A therapist ha…

Good taxonomy but in practice these compose more than they compete I think.. Production agent stacks already layer MCP for tool access on top of RAG for context retrieval, with RLM-style orchestration…

N=6 Phase 1, so this is purely a safety readout. But does the stem cell patch actually prevents hydrocephalus or just delays it. lets see 35 patients in Phase 1/2a
