Top startups in China publish a lot?

I assume this is done with the help of AI? I have done similar vibe project that explaining catastrophic forgetting with the help of AI. It's just so satisfying now that if you rea…

U.S. policymakers believe that even if the gap is small—like six months to a year—whoever reaches AGI first (whatever that means) could gain such an overwhelming advantage over the…

Maybe I should start a project rewriting pctools 5.0 in rust!

Yeah, this seems like a personal choice, which does work out given the current result.

Harness is fine. I think people here are arguing what provided here to take the test is not harness.

This violates the ToS, but I don't think it's distillation. Distillation requires knowing the logits, which current API does not provide. This is just synthetic data generation. An…

Google has gigantic power over its users. Consider that for some reason, Google banned your gmail account, which you are using for large number of logins for different essential se…

I think diffusion makes much more sense than auto-regressive (AR) specifically in code generation comparing to chatbot.

Great article. To me, this highlights a key question in the era of rapidly advancing machine intelligence: if we know machine intelligence is progressing, what is more valuable to …

Yes, agentic-wise, Claude Opus is best. Complex coding is GPT-5.x. But for smartness, I always felt Gemini 3 Pro is best.

OpenAI has a former NSA director on its board. [1] This connection makes the dilution of the term "PRISM" in search results a potential benefit to NSA interests. [1]: https://opena…

Rust's `serde_json` recently switched to use a new library for floating string conversion: https://github.com/dtolnay/zmij .

A market maker needs a premium to provide liquidity. If all else is equal, why would they take on execution time risk? This is a universal feature of continuous-trading Central Lim…

I guess I am asking how we know Gemini and Claude relies on the additive residual stream. We don't know the architecture details for these closed models?

How do you know "GPT-5, Claude, Llama, Gemini. Under the hood, they all do the same thing: x+F(x)."?

I have a similar experience when I found out that claude code can use ssh to conect to remote server and diagnose any sysadmin issue there. It just feels really empowered.

I think it's likely someone already discovered this. It's just that info is not broadcasted to people who want to comment on this thread.

I can't find the source. Anyone can point to it?

This argument falls apart when you look at Rust and Cargo. uv is literally trying to be "Python's Cargo." The entire blueprint came from a flagship FOSS project. Rust's development…

It is now. But the limit on $20 plan is quite low and easy to use up.

Investment banks in Hong Kong were almost exclusively western back in the days with very few ethnic Chinese in senior management.

China is not the birthplace of so called '996'. Long before tech scene in China, there are a lot of investment banks doing that in HK especially for junior analysts. Calling 996 a …

That's true. You would think LLM will condition its surprise completion to be more probable if it's in a joke context. I guess this only gets good when model really is good. It's s…

This actually makes sense because in the meantime Meta is ditching the open-source (open-weights) direction. Before the national security narrative took over, the main argument was…
