The appeal of auto mode is obvious. Non yolo mode where you manually approve each command is literally pure security theatre. No human on earth has the patience to discerne the hug…

You can't even pick 5.6 luna on the chat app with a paid subscription. It just gives you sol (or use older models) with what seems like basically as much usage as you want. And sol…

Its always fun to try to read between the lines here to speculate why they are doing this. Maybe Luna efficiency gain was actually significant enough that putting all the free user…

I mean it could be problematic if taxes and the credit card fees are involved right. It would be interesting to see something like: $100 credits and $13 in taxes refunded as $97 in…

They need better clairty on it for sure, ideally with a clear warning on deposit. But apparently a non-expiring credit is a considered an accounting problem since you have income (…

If you are planning to use vibe coded programs then you better plan for a lot of RAM. Well I say planning when its really being thrust upon you in a lot of cases. But be extremely …

Just for receipts I span up a basic test for XLA: Can you figure out that 16 matrix vector multiplications into a concatenate is the same as concatenating first into a matrix matri…

This is actually really neat, I had an agent create some experimental probes and check out whats going on here and it seems like a pretty cool project. I'm gonna need to digest how…

I didn't argue that knowing the total cost is uninteresting. What I was saying is that realistically the total cost is: Hours needed for prompt + Hours needed to check result + API…

Why would you factor in salary unless they had to baby it through. You would only count the hours for setting up the harness and prompt and checking the result. Training the model …

It's remarkable how you can manage to get these models to produce remarkable breakthroughs like an explicit construction of a non-sofic group. And yet this is the exact same compan…

https://arxiv.org/stats/monthly_submissions They should consider swapping this for a log plot. I can imagine in 2027 academia looking like Moltbook.

Those prices on luna are killer. Haiku was already in a ditch. But this is coming straight for the jugular of a ton of models on openrouter.

zig make is zig build. I haven't kept my zig skills sharp enough but zig build and the build.zig file basically lets you create a dag of steps and create various targets. It's basi…

I'm generally pretty accepting of trust me bro style arguments where we some claims presented without evidence. Especially for AI, sure some model just rm -rf ed your home directy …

The archive.org story was more nuanced than that. If I recall correctly the full story was that they used to lend digital versions of books they physically bought and scanned with …

I believe they don't do torrents because it gives them a lot more control. Like they can takedown or update downloads and they can prevent someone from trivially bypassing the lice…

DRAM shortages are already causing (not projectioning to cause) visible demand destruction in many categories. Smartphone shipments are down 11% YoY Q2 2026. Full year projected dr…

His diet is mixing a half cup of canola oil with a cup and a half of flour per day.

You don't have to buy it all at once all in one place. A sophisticated actor can accomplish a lot. You can't bubble wrap the whole world. The real thing to care about are the incen…

Whats to stop me from going down to the local gas station, filling up a few thousand liters of gas in a rented moving truck, and driving into my nearest hospital? Most people aren'…

Keep in mind if you ask Claude what model it is in Chinese it says its Deepseek or Qwen or Kimi. So who's training on who's outputs? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48990086 h…

AMD is barely trying. The 395+ Max Strix Halo was launched January 2025. gfx1151 was not listed in the ROCm compatibility matrix for ROCm 7.2.4 [0]. This is the previous version of…

The phishing resistance on fake websites is largely a function of the fact its an ssh key and you can't man in the middle those after first setup because you have known_hosts, whic…

Thats because the people behind passkeys are paternalistic and don't trust users. I had an argument with one of them a few months ago. https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/i…
