Yeah similar to how image generators don't draw Mickey Mouse, but ask for a black cartoon mouse with big ears and see what you get!

Products are something other than the sum of their technical parts.

The two outputs (an image and a string sequence) are learned from entirely different data, even when they're generated with the same model, which is not always the case. There's no…

What were the results of 3d fractal shader pretraining?

Interesting, can you explain why?

Is it inflammatory if it's true? Seems rather embarrassing (but fitting for 2026 America) to shy away from painful truths because they're uncomfortable.

Moloch!

Thanks for this answer! I appreciate the clarity, I can see the economic impact for your company. Very cool.

Agreed. I've never seen a concrete answer with an outcome that can be explained in clear, simple terms.

I went through a similar cycle. Going back to simplicity wasn't about laziness for me, it was because i started working across a bunch more systems and didn't want to do my whole c…

What problems?

Pass a law requiring cloud compute providers to accept a maximum user budget and be unable to charge more than that, and see how quickly the big cloud providers figure it out.

What do you do with agents?

Are there any? Concretely. Genuinely curious.

It's the same amount of effort benchmarking, just a better choice of backbone that enables better choices of benchmark tasks. If the claim is that a Tversky projection layer beats …

Seems cool, but the image classification model benchmark choice is kinda weak given all the fun tools we have now. I wonder how Tversky probes do on top of DINOv3 for building a cl…

Do you have references on adaptive methods for image recognition?

I've done something along these lines! https://github.com/heyitsguay/trader The challenge for me was consistency in translating free text from dialogs into classic, deterministic g…

Object detectors output detection bounding boxes along with confidence scores. The higher the score, the more confident the model is that the associated bounding box is a correct d…

I've noticed this a lot, too, in HN LLM discourse. (Context: Working in applied AI R&D for 10 years, daily user of Claude for boilerplate coding stuff and as an HTML coding assista…
