yes yes the solution to some debatably valid social science research is to burn the entire epistemological method and practice to the ground. We'll surely find something better to replace it in …

> 137B-A5B Yeah, not a 5B param model as the earlier title implied!

GOOG was a $20B company against a $10T S&P 500. SpaceX is going to be a $2T company against a $60T S&P 500.
comment
Sure, it'll only be ~2% of the index if it opens where they want to. But in the downside case where it meanders long enough for significant amounts of its stock to make it in to public hands and…

Noting for reference that Gemma4 MTP work is in progress[0] on llama.cpp; similar work for Qwen3.6 landed recently and has been great thus far. [0]: https://github.com/ggml-org/ll…

I mean catch and release is better than being dinner, and the prevalence of fly fishing as a hobby goes a long way toward garnering public and financial support for restoration activities.
comment
The Bar is also a not-great signal of actual ability. It is a great signal for 1) base knowledge and reasoning capacity and 2) sticktoitiveness / willingness to meet ~arbitrary expectations to w…

Yeah I wrote “by a third party” then thought of them and revised to “trusted neutral party”. Has to be someone with ~no financial interest in the candidates success
comment
Internship etc. proposals miss that status quo job seeking is a parallel process for applicants. An internship model means each candidate can only “consider” one employer at a time. I think this is wh…

Per TFA Steve got hired by Amazon and then kicked off the acquisition of his former company.
comment
Whatever clause in whatever contract is just the starting point for negotiations if things go south.
comment
Option C is, yknow, pass law (and ratify amendments) s.t. the interpretive power of the court is less of a factor
comment
Implicit in the human to human to AI conversational chain is the second person’s assumption that the first person didn’t think to ask AI. The mere fact of asking another human a question (absent a str…

I don't know if it counts as a 'pixel' font, but https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/ has hand-drawn bitmaps for a huge swath of unicode (and hand-hint…
comment
DeepSeek claims to have trained on something like 2k H800, this is ~0.5k GH200 … it’s not nothing. Sure they’re not going to _serve_ it at scale, but that’s not the point? Also the line between “finet…
comment
Because greater Los Angeles is the USA's (post-)WWII aerospace hub disguised as a megacity and cultural production center? All sorts of folks spent the 40s-00s (scientifically) blowing stuff up …
comment
I’ve made the same argument On Here. Paying the full price (should!) make you consider you usage, pick the right model, delegate to cheaper/local providers, …. It makes you use the models the way…
comment
I suspect subscription limits are quite a bit higher than the equivalent tokens their dollar cost could purchase. I similarly feel like I can get a lot done with a $20/mo Claude Pro subscription…
comment
It’s hilariously persistent in this, esp. for anything even slightly divergent from the beaten path. Discount everything the AI box says about emacs to zero.
comment
I'm viewing this as a user of non-Ant Stainless SDKs. I don't have an account or relationship with you guys, and thanks to your (excellent!) product, the surfaces I contact don't have …
comment
Some clarity about existing users/SDKs would go a long way. Otherwise this reads like "we just bought OpenAI's front door and we're EOLing it. Hopefully no one was planning to us…

> Anthropic GP: > OpenAI ??
comment
That can't be right. You could buy an aisle of NVL72 or _one_ 2U server?
comment
> simpler alternative to Skills this concerns me. Skills are already just about the simplest possible thing; they're just prompts, in a directory!
comment
> if you just prompt the AI and believe what it tell you then you have AI psychosis This is the right definition. LLM outputs have undefined truth value. They’re mechanized Frankfurtian Bullshiters…
comment
One can't help but observe the contrast between counterparty behavior here vs. the crypto boom. A counterparty service had a secret worth 400K in-hand and just passed it back to the user. Meanwh…
comment
You may want to take a look at `man ed`, `info ed`, or [0]. ed is many things, but verbose is not one of them. In particular, it's designed for the teletype era, when (a) the user would have a tr…
comment
Only sort of related, but I would love to see a harness with ed as the primary file editing / reading tool. Half the bash Claude runs seems to be sed anyway, having some state persist in ed would…

What is the arrow of time if not a single global monotonically increasing sequence?
comment
The value of uuid is the lack of coordination. “…integers in sequence…” requires quite a bit of coordination if you have more than one computer ;)
