With Opus 5 as the underlying model.

And once we also decided that we needed to attack Iran.

I guess I'm not understanding why this makes sense for AMD to buy Taalas unless they plan to get into hosting. It doesn't seem like a great fit.

I wonder if GitHub actions was a bad idea? Like maybe it's being abused for other kinds of compute besides just builds? And even builds themselves can require a lot of compute. I'v…

Here in the US I get PBS on Channel 10 - there's 10.1 (straight PBS), 10.2 (PBS-World) and 10.3 (PBS kids) - do each of these take a separate 6MHz bandwidth, or are they packed int…

> this spectrum should simply be reassigned for IP based services, with perhaps some set aside for non profit / educational uses, some for commercial, etc. We've got internet, but …

Which is their dangerous bet on the AI boom.

That's going to drop a lot as sodium-ion batteries go into large-scale production.

When I was in high school (late 70s) we lived on Hood Canal in Washington state less than 10 miles from the Bangor Nuclear submarine base. My dad would often joke that it was proba…

Not as a marketing ploy. I think they were doing gain-of-function testing and intentionally had their model target HF to do a bit of pen-testing as well - HF being the site where a…

Google search is basically Gemini now. You get a Gemini summation including several links.

Oh, good. They did add a search capability. It was kind of odd how before NotebookLM wasn't well integrated with Google search at all.

There's something similar in cinema. For example, I was watching Terrance Malick's Badlands for the first time a couple of years ago and I could swear it felt like a film from the …

> Do they sell home CO2 scrubbers? They're called houseplants.

There's probably a lot of genetic variation. For some it could be detrimental in 50 years, for others not so much. And for some swath in the middle it could be less than ideal. > W…

My problem with NotebookLM was that you had to give it URLs or docs, you couldn't just have it search for docs and then incorporate them into your research.

I'm on the Z.ai quarterly subscription plan (got in when the price was lower) and I was using it through opencode and it was like I'd only get maybe an hour of usage (if that, some…

Hopefully they'll release some smaller models (<100B) that we can run on home hardware at faster than 10tok/s.

Reading this, I really can't make much sense of it: for (int i=0; auto&& it: vec) cout It's certainly not obvious what's going on there at a glance. This is at least a bit more pyt…

To some extent you wonder if this "tapping the brakes" might be saving some companies from themselves. It's likely we're in the overinvestment phase of this technological cycle and…

Oregon has a 1-year moratorium on new data centers qualifying for the state's Enterprise Zone (EZ) property tax incentive programs (as of June 5, 2026. We shouldn't be giving tax i…

Interesting. But I'm kind of hard getting past the AI-written README: "What Reame is NOT for — said plainly, because trust is built here: a general-purpose ChatGPT replacement (fro…

I've got a Framework with 128GB. Sure, I'm probably not going to run Deepseek V4 flash (though, I could run the 2-bit quant). But there are a lot of models (especially MOE models) …
