I agree about OpenRouter. The AI Gateway number [0] is likely the figure that was actually coming to mind. Moreover, Qwen models alone have overtaken the previously-dominant Llama …

I knew when I wrote that it was a bare assertion, based partly on memory. This is an approximation based on a few sources, the principal of which was this article, which pulls from…

I watched the full video and their conclusion was: service providers need to be doing this type of agent red-teaming continuously to counteract the attack sophistication of systems…

As critical as I am of NM, I don’t know that this is true. The state has been funding mental healthcare for 2+ years out of gross receipts revenue. A large part of this goes to Med…

I have still not gotten a Waymo even once. I am in the service area. I don't use the service frequently, just enough to be disappointed.

Impressive judgment from someone who presumably has no knowledge of the types of problems the lab was addressing, the scope of research, the actual individuals employed, or the pri…

Unscrupulous operators will just run up huge liabilities and close up shop by the time they can be identified and dragged into court, meanwhile having started another similar opera…

I don't understand how people fail to understand how public policy works. You can tell people to do something and they may or may not ignore you depending on how you say it, and wh…

Every time there is an economic boom like this, you get unscrupulous actors coming in and extracting as much value as they can before the regulatory environment catches up. Yes, da…

Yeah I didn’t read it that way at all. I think that addressing mental health issues requires some frankness with yourself first and foremost. I know some people object to identifyi…

I think the parent comment stands - I’ve asked Opus to do a review of DeepSeek’s test suite and told it a couple things I wanted it to look for, and it did a very thorough review o…

I currently parse the TOC for chapter markers, then walk the spine between markers to ensure everything is captured regardless of what the TOC says. I think it is in the spirit of …

Thanks for checking it out! The Alice link is a generated m4b, so it’s sample output that you could likely play back directly in your browser, although that may not have the cover …

I checked out your product - nice! I think we have a similar approach for a different audience. EbookAloud is basically just a two-click conversion system more geared towards consu…

That "I'm not a robot" check lol

For a while I've wanted to try out the new AI voices for long-form narration, but everything I found required a subscription that didn't justify my limited usage. I came across the…

A nit: did you go from Opus 4.5 to Fable? One of the big questions in my mind is how much of a real change Fable is over the existing models. Opus 4.5 -> 4.8 was also a major capab…

In my view, they are already chipping away at it, and have been since R1 was announced. This is the first commercial non-US tech product I've used heavily. The quality is incredibl…

When I was 7 or 8 a friend and I crimped the heads off strike-anywhere match sticks, wrapped them in foil, and struck them with hammers and rocks. They were quite loud, one even se…

I don't think anyone has a firm grasp on actual inference costs -- including the research and training that has gone into those models. We've got near-frontier capabilities from op…

The HN crowd is, by and large, not the target audience for his self promotion. I guarantee there is one and this is more or less effective.

Nothing new. I used to work with .NET and went to some meetups and conferences. There are some hardcore Microsoft fanboys out there. Didn’t even mix the kool-aid, ate it right from…

I don't disagree about the probability, but the current frontier models are not completely useless for writing even in areas where I have significant knowledge. I would not have sa…

I also think this is an interesting topic of research. I have had lifelong issues with chronic pain and always felt like diet influenced it, but I’ve never been able to isolate a s…
