    Absolutely not. Horrible advice. You give the rest of us peaceful majority a bad name. Protest legally. Your post glows.

    Right, because you don’t want to let the little guys mess it up for the big guys: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/fbi-seeks-us-wid... Gotta make a statement with the lo…

    So what’s the goal of a bot post like this? If you look at its user account, you can see it has some links to some of its websites which I assume are scams of some variety.

    What are you doing where you're getting Sol on XHigh or Max to run out on the $200 plan? Last night, I had 48% of my weekly limit left, so I spun up 4 projects I had been working o…

    Subsidy doesn't matter once the weights are released. You're conflating subsidized training and research with subsidized inference. DeepSeek's (allegedly government-) subsidized in…

    This is not the same thing, right? IIUC, the awards for what you linked have already been given out. There aren't awards for the linked initiative - I think that's just Argonne Nat…

    But if you just want a high-quality bar just for you, you don’t want to take over Mars Inc.

    Just looked this up, no longer true. Explore subagents inherit whatever model the parent is. And you can of course make other subagent configs.

    That’s literally how AlphaEvolve works. And presumably how OpenAI’s research loop works if they’d ever publish it. They put an LLM in a loop, with a reward function, and keep tryin…

    Right, which was true at the time. So hundreds of billions of dollars have been poured into making LLMs better at these tasks via pretraining, RL, RLHF, post training, etc. again a…

    Math is verifiable. LLMs will continue to make strides in such search spaces where all they need to do is try->verify->repeat. You can't train an LLM on how to end the war in Iran …

    I like them, I just didn't understand them and figured I'd educate the crowd so we can all join in and call things tosh. Posh = fancy, tosh = bad.

    Well, in 3/5 of the United States you are. Look up filial laws. They’re rarely enforced but they’re there.

    It’s open weight, you can (or you can wait for someone else to) uncensor it. We shouldn’t be upset at the researchers making this for the mandates their government puts on them.

    Isn’t this just software? But with an LLM at various points instead of a deterministic call to some function?

    14 seconds per token? Not tokens per second. Seconds per token? That’s nowhere near the cusp!

    Carpenters? Are we making the data centers out of wood?

    Comment #49090901

    Yes, if only due to the business models being entirely different. AWS sells compute. OpenAI sells models. One of these things benefits from training on your data significantly more…

    No, luckily private companies in the US are aching for this to NOT be banned. NVIDIA, Microsoft, etc. just released that letter. We’re saved from the trillionaire companies (OpenAI…

    Nope, not low at all. In the Midwest that’s exceedingly normal, even for non-entry level. $70k a year is living good in the Midwest, especially if dual income household ($140k a ye…

    Exactly. I think we all have to come to this conclusion ourselves, because the message we’ve been getting from the LLM companies is “sweet user, you DO add value to the LLM, you ga…

    Nice! Codex’s TTL on 5.6 is, I believe, 30 minutes, and when combined with how generous they are with resets of weekly limits and having completely gotten rid of 5hr limits, means …

    “Seems like it went pretty well if a consulting company is now being started.” You interpreted this backwards. Software companies offer consulting when their product cannot stand o…
