The researchers who published Attention Is All You Need didn’t have the benefit of the LLMs they birthed. Take a look at the prompt that solved the Cycle Double Cover conjecture, a…

Remember when we needed 200 servers for an enterprise website because Apache used one process or thread per connection - and Nginx collapsed that into a single box overnight? That …

And I was comparing salmon farms to cattle feed lots in the USA, not saying “salmon feed many”. Wow that got hilariously off track.

Because of financial incentives. And it makes critics sad when films aren’t shot where their story is based. Saved you reading it.

Salmon feed lots, with a similar problem of concentrated waste, cruelty and unhealthy animals. Sounds like the underwater egg solution they discuss in the article might also be sol…

They’ve bred more docile salmon, according to the article. Getting that DNA into wild populations would be problematic I’d imagine.

“Each of the results cost roughly $100,000 in API cost to develop.” And “Over the course of a week, one Anthropic researcher worked together with Claude to develop the HAWK attack,…

Turns out sitting quietly in a room and doing math is worth more than all the money and network in the world.

Wonder how long until a leaker emerges. Incentives are strong for someone to do the right thing and get credit for doing it.

Had to read this one twice: “Projects "written and maintained with heavy use of LLMs".” Isn’t that almost everything these days? If you’re using vscode or codex or Claude CLI you’r…

The letter really dances around the issue that we don’t want to see a ban on the release and use of open weights foreign or domestic models in the US. If we do it will leave us at …

Not seeing a long thread there. Is that the wrong link?

Seems that “oracle routing” is a term the authors invented. Also sounds like they’re sending requests to all routes but assuming the readers request will route to the “best” model.…

Re local LLMs: “You avoid the uncanny valley where the model appears to be intelligent before doing something stupid; the stupidity is self-evident and this helps calibrate your in…

Agreed re reasoning. I’ve seen this play out with 5x reasoning negating cost savings.

Historically these have been quickly shut down without much of an explanation.

Or an allegedly even more dangerous model that they refuse to release. What a joke Anthropic has become.

25 gig is still expensive for consumers to configure end to end.

The new normal for the next decade: You must protect the public from us and all others, and we are your closest ally so we make your rules for us and our competition. This wasn’t a…

Not quite vaporware, but few commits, PRs, history, actual examples etc. It's pretty thin.

A Wasm decoder takes encoded bytes and returns an iterator of Arrow Buffers. In case you were wondering.

And poached eggs.

You lost me at forced scrolling. Ugh!
