    One can only trust a verifier as far as they can trust anything made out of software.

    Worth it to prove the pez dispenser deployed them correctly? Small % of the total launch cost.

    Based on v1 satellite cost estimates, under $5MM for 20. It was v3 sats, don't know the cost on those yet.

    Not who you asked, but if you're looking for a rec, I've been using GLM and Deepseek models through Deepinfra because the prices are decent for US-based deployments and there's acc…

    Alas, many financial models do well in backtests and then fail in the real world. You have to expose them to all kinds of market conditions and not just the recent one. Good luck o…

    You can use backtesting instead of waiting a month.

    Maybe there was more in the context before that question? I just copy-pasted that question into Opus 4.7 and it replied: Yes. A RimWorld year is 60 days, split into four 15-day qua…

    I think where we went wrong in understanding this PR is in the assumption that it's designed to invite review because that's how a lot of other team- or community-driven projects w…

    Thanks, I think I'm all caught up now. The timeline is like this if I understand correctly: your successors (Yossi Gottlieb and Oran Agra) explicitly announced a new governance mod…

    I think the point GP is making is this is a PR that smells like a solo dev working on their own project and not how a community-driven project adds major new functionality, althoug…

    It's looking rather low on reasoning and long-range problems with the approach described. For example, even with 16 agents and compaction, the HLE score is significantly below Anth…

    I am not disagreeing with your main point, but want to clarify that SOC2 is not an individual certification that a person achieves.

    The compiler can substitute the value how it sees fit. It's like #define, but type-safe and scoped. Maybe it's folded into expressions, propagated through constant expressions, or …

    It's along the same lines, but an NSL can be challenged in court (the FISC is a secret and lopsided court, alas). Companies like Apple and Google have fought specific orders public…

    Was Georgi ever approached by Meta? I wonder what they offered (I'm glad they didn't succeed, just morbid curiosity).

    ...or just ask something only they would know? takes no coordination, works even in a stressful situation, and you can always follow up with more

    This is great advice and will give a good background in programming that mirrors what you would learn in a CS program. I'd also like to suggest studying the practical side of build…

    Sure. Someone on /r/LocalLLaMA was seeing 12.5 tokens/s on dual Strix Halo 128GB machines (run you $6-8K total?) with 1.8bits per parameter. It performs far below the unquantized m…
