"~4× faster (up to 8× in specific workloads) than Spark and 94% cheaper on infrastructure costs"

No way in hell are the majority of Claude Code users burning 10k worth of credits. Many of them probably barely use it. There'll be a bell curve, and we have no idea what it looks …

Come on. That doesn't go anywhere near explaining a million and a half LOC

I'd expect the memory bandwidth to be the same for the CPU and GPU under a unified memory architecture like Apple silicon uses?

I find it super interesting that we're now in an era where we have LLM's that are quantized to binary weights - 1's and 0's. So effectively they're digital neural networks. I assum…

I did some research on this in the context of self-replicating PV panel construction. I arrived at similar conclusions: mining (ore extraction and refining) was the hardest part. O…

This is very critical of an open source project that the maintainer didn't even post here? "Status: pgrust is not production-ready yet. It is not performance optimized yet." The ma…

This YouTube is a pretty good walk through of the gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxGEMOzWt8w

I agree with this statement. And because it churns less tokens, it's just generally faster too - noticeably, throughout the day, across a range of tasks I get more shit done with C…

A bit slower? I think for most of my tasks, Claude takes easily 2x longer for almost everything, even things like just analyzing code. It churns tons of tokens for quite simple thi…

I switch between both as my daily drivers. I do almost all my regular coding tasks with Codex 5.5 on medium. Sometimes for niche edge cases, or when I run out of tokens on my Codex…

It's a bit more nuanced than that. Earlier models definitely benefited a lot more from prompt engineering. I remember this distinctly from building data pipelines to do things like…

Is gemini live the same app I have on my oneplus 15? I don't think that's full duplex?

Some useful context in here: https://attorneygenerallynnfitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024... "Meta knew what it was doing" In December 2015, CEO Zuckerberg listed as one of Meta’s …

Meanwhile: > China’s Ministry of Commerce has led meetings over the past month with major AI companies, including Alibaba, ByteDance, and http://z.ai/ , to discuss measures that wo…

The EU is not "teetering on the edge of a crisis", why do you say that?

Why on earth don't the producers of the game implement this? It sounds trivial to do?

That only happens if you're trading very illiquid stocks.

I'd love to read more about how to use this workflow. What kind of top level instructions does this actually work with? Is there an article out there with some concrete examples of…

Tautologies 'R us

An expressive and well designed language (elixir) is objectively better than a less well designed language like python. Python probably needs more LoC than elixir for the same task…

I don't really see the moat for frontier AI labs being "more efficient models" although that could help their margins - I think moats will be built by expanding the horizontal and …
