I agree with the others - I'm sure that you've provided your own input, but Claude's writing and design style is so overwhelmingly dominant that those who have spent time with it can im…

The irony of a post about a port primarily written by Claude having been primarily written by Claude on a website primarily designed by Claude. Come on.

Hot-reloading. You can edit your logic without rebuilding and restarting the host application; this cuts your iteration time from minutes to seconds, especially if the application is in a state that w…

What kind of scale are you thinking of?

I would argue that memory safety is part of devex: it's just one less thing you have to be constantly vigilant about.

I would be very surprised to see a large Rust codebase being harder to maintain than a large Zig codebase. The former makes it much easier to maintain invariants at scale.

The first Matrix is 27 years old; Reloaded is 23 years old.

It wouldn't be data distillation: instead, it would be teacher-student distillation. The teacher model has stronger representations that the student can mimic, which would give it more capability…

It's a refutation that we know how they work now . In the limit, though, yes, we are likely to be able to trace the process: it is possible, though, that understanding remains inaccessible becau…

Could you honestly tell us what model you're on? I'm guessing Sonnet 4.6 or Opus 4.7.

We do not understand and know how these models work. We know what their architectures are and how to create them, but we cannot explain their behaviours at a fundamental level. There is no definitive …

Okay, but that's not relevant to AI training?

AI is grown, not built, and like with anything you grow, you'll never be able to predict exactly how it will turn out.

His argument is not that the existing global poor are going to be automated by AI, but that a great many people are going to join the global poor as their current livelihoods are automated.

You won't be left behind because you don't know how to use them - as you say, it doesn't take that much time to be at useful proficiency - but you will be left behind if you refuse to e…

Yes, but part of the fun is doing it in Minecraft and using Minecraft's language for it (e.g. putting windows in your inventory, pulling them out of chests, etc)

Huh? That's them intentionally demonstrating the slop style.

Quantiser's choice, IMO. They're best-placed to decide what compromise to make for their particular model.

I regret that the projection models ended up separate, and I too would have preferred for them to be in a single file. I'm not entirely sure why that ended up happening, but it very much runs cou…

Single-file deployments were an intentional design goal on my part. While most image models were/are single-file, LLM safetensors (at least at the time) were not, and I wanted to ensure that we e…

Yeah, I intentionally left space for the computation graph to be included in the GGUF spec in the hopes that this would be picked up by someone. I would have loved to have it in the first version, but…

Within a day - well before any legal or societal force could intervene - a superintelligence could make its way into every part of an organisation's internal network and tear it apart from the in…
