Given the trend of revisions, I wouldn't be surprised if the real loss is around 6 figures, May 2026 revision went from 172k to 63k.

Unsure if it's LLMs that fail at tabular data or its just that tree boosting are spectacular at that task.

For my projects, I can produce with LLMs a codebase that I'd be proud of, but it requires extensive use of the plan mode and nagging anytime the implementation looks much more comp…

it's 80% less cost, not 80% in efficiency gains, could be that Luna was overpriced to begin with, we don't have much info on the models themselves. Assuming the efficiency gains ar…

While the model itself is great at hiding the answer, the AI summary keeps giving it away, it's so annoying and AFAIK it cannot be disabled.

I'd pay good money to see OpenAI "oh fuck" war rooms.

I think I would be horrified looking at your Claude API bill.

Apparently plus users do not have access to Sol, so I'm really worried about the ugly Terra Pelican.

I don't know what the day to day would be like but it was a ML research engineer role.

I'm pretty confident I would've been able to come up to the solution in better circumstances, maybe even without hints. But it was clear in this case that the interviewer just took…

I got that recently, I really didn't like that question. For the n-th percentile version, the obvious solution is sorting and it takes 10 seconds to get to that point, 5 minutes of…

High interest rates and instability makes it a bad environment to invest, it raises the bar on speculative/growth investment, and tech is mainly that. Mix that with heavy AI bills,…

From talking to someone that worked at YouTube for 15 years, they still had a lot of core Python code in 2016 that was legacy from the OG company/team and that code needed to be tr…

I'll pick small company, thank you.

I'm not getting the Opus 4.8 switch for coding, supposedly given how fast I reached the usage limit, which is kind of nice.

It's great for defining fancy floats used in machine learning e.g. https://github.com/zml/zml/blob/33ced8fa078b3c7c8c709bd526ae...

they're still kings for training, though I've heard Anthropic is training now on JAX+TPU setup, so might not be a monopoly in that segment.

I can talk about France specifically, the working age population feels squeezed currently because a big portion of their wages goes to pay pensions, let's be specific: for a 100k p…

> The risk of being cut off from strategically important technologies, once minimal, is now very real. Good timing given the Fable 5 story.

My main read on this is that European governments will more aggressively invest in regional AI labs. For Nvidia chips you could've deluded yourself that the US is just anti-china, …

In my experience a lot of companies try really hard to be data oriented and try to find objective metrics for impact, sometimes it’s good, often it’s bad. Like LOC count, PR count,…

I had a much better experience gaming on MacOS than I ever did using Linux + X (it was first dual boot with Windows, then double GPU + VM, then proton). But it's mainly because I d…
