    The difference is that releasing the model for free doesn't have ongoing cost for the company. Providing cheap tokens is very expensive - specially if you don't have access to the …

    What's the verifiable oracle in this scenario?

    Without showing false-positive rates this analysis is useless. If your model says every line if your code has a bug, it will catch 100% of the bugs, but it's not useful at all. The…

    Given that Google has said they'll be delaying source code release for Android to every X months intervals (iirc), how is GrapheneOS planning to handle security updates? Will they …

    The controversy isn't about defending one's country, it's about you and the parent comment author assuming what this is all about without reading the article. The core of the issue…

    Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't a byte-by-byte output recreation of the C++ code in Rust defeat the whole purpose of using Rust? For one, would it be idiomatic Rust anymore? Also,…

    This looks great! I have a couple of questions: 1) Is it possible to start off with plain Postgres and add pgdog without scheduled downtime down the road when scaling via sharding …

    I'm currently using Ghostty with Zellij, and there has been a constant tension w.r.t whether I should use a zellij feature or a Ghostty one (i.e, tabs/panes/etc) when they provide …

    You can try raising the head part of the bed by 5 - 6 or so inches using wood blocks. The doctor recommended it to me. It's not perfect, but has really helped me!

    5 years used to be true 15 years ago. IPOs are happening much later now, probably 10+ years, if you're lucky

    How are situations like lack of liquidity to pay the taxes handled? i.e, As an employee you get stock options, which you exercise when you leave the startup. Then long before the c…

    Ads aren't added to agentic workflows. Agentic usage of gpt-5 is only available if you're a paying user.

    How exactly has it distracted the U.S? I don't see the U.S rushing to adopt either renewables or nuclear. We're just increasing our fossil fuel burning (natural gas).

    How did we get to a place where either Cloudflare or AWS having an outage means a large part of the web going down? This centralization is very worrying.

    Do I need to use the other services from the Ory stack to have this be complete? I tried reading the Ory docs a couple of times when I needed an auth solution but it was indecipher…

    At what quantization? And if it is in fact quantized below fp8, how is the performance impacted on all the various benchmarks?

    I can't find a single screenshot of opendesk applications anywhere - including their own website. This is extremely strange.

    Not really. It lets me focus on what I want to focus on without losing motivation. Gaming is just an addictive behavior which is why it works against it, but not real work that I a…

    I've noticed that when I'm on Zepbound 2.5mg, I don't have the strong urge to play video games and can focus on my projects. Even if I do play video games while on it, I lose inter…
