    I wonder if we can trust that it will actually be deleted though based upon what happened to DOGE and Social Security data https://www.npr.org/2026/01/23/nx-s1-5684185/doge-data-so…

    or maybe they don’t actually cache (fully) but lie and just don’t charge the user right now. at least half the users, who are probably also using the most similar tokens / prompts,…

    Isn’t this sort of just “chain of thought” (i.e. the seminal https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11903 ) where the user is helping the model 1-shot or k-shot the solution instead of 0-shot?…

    While I like that you debunked the article . . . I want to hear an argument for where the SWE job market can grow in a post-Claude world. I might expect something like: “CEOs are n…

    It’s not cutting corners. Apple does most of their testing using strictly internal resources, like secret “mini malls” in the Silicon Valley area. They fail because this testing bi…

    Appreciate the nature and scale of the internet... and also how it's changing though, yeah? While I agree with much of the article's thesis, it sadly appears to ignore the current …

    Yes but two other considerations: 1) Assume the buyer/seller holds capital from sources that the majority of the market considers “illicit” and/or is legally sanctioned and/or phys…

    uv can also run even a beefy linux desktop out of file descriptors for larger projects. And does not have deterministic / reproducible installs. Still needs maturity.

    A candidate wants a _competitive_ offer. While stock is almost impossible to compare across offers, candidates can at least stack-rank the company’s funding and check to see how th…

    Also know a non-smoker who got lung cancer, in particular a (rather rare) genetically sensitive form. Most of the damage ended up to the bones and brain versus the lungs.

    Hugginface is mostly AWS, so these experiments might be done on an AWS-provided cluster? I wonder how many of the results are reproducible on "open market" clusters listed on e.g. …

    It’s also important to weight dramatic changes in the White House this week, too, right? There’s the intel itself, but then there’s also the guy trying to control the news cycle.
