National strategy. Thanks to smart investments, China's energy costs are far lower than everybody else's. If intelligence becomes a commodity, then China will be providing it for t…

Seems like China is using them in buses already? https://english.cas.cn/newsroom/cas-in-media/202606/t2026060...

Literally the very first time I used ChatGPT. I had already been experimenting with GPT3 for various jokes and games via the API but the naturalness of it as a chat interface that …

“Flow” moves agents through a yaml flowchart of prompts and decisions. It’s working quite well for a couple of us in Tenstorrent, more to discover here though: https://github.com/y…

This is the future of all software; the benefits of making it accessible to agents are overwhelming.

This is an incredibly good first approximation and is often all you need. Source: spent a couple of years developing an energy and performance profiler for cpus and gpus with vario…

Very large, fast, read-only memory now has an incredible use-case: NN weights.

Is... is this named because they have a lemon they're trying to make the most of?

Whoever did this must have realised the users will hate it. So… is this just demonstrating that the internal culture emphasises other things than user happiness? I also note that ”…

I’m not saying I prefer it like this. Just stating that the change is already inevitable.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A lot of it was “debug this issue and fix it” or “write this small tool to do X”

We also outlaw vices like physical violence and property theft. Society is fundamentally counter to individual freedom, and the degree determines the nature of that society and the…

The article’s “worst case” is not dark enough. The real evil is when someone ensures the famine occurs so they can profit from an outside betting position.

This is naive. The people deciding about the bombing will profit most by taking a very large and unlikely position against the market’s predictions and then carrying it out immedia…

I’ve been programming professionally for 25 years. Well, 24 really because in the whole last year I barely wrote a line myself but my output increased dramatically. If you can’t se…

Bit flips aren’t always bad hardware. I remember an anecdote from Sandia from my HPC days - they found they were getting more bit flips on some machines than others on their cluste…

Same; I can’t believe this AI slop has >1000 points…

The only software worth writing is tools for agents that contain something hard for them to vibe code in a couple of sessions. Making someone’s agents 20% better, cheaper or faster…

To get what?

The landing page reads like it was written with an LLM. Somehow this makes me immediately not care about the project; I expect it to be incomplete vibe-coded filler somehow. Odd wh…

Genuinely interesting how divergent people's experiences of working with these models is. I've been 5x more productive using codex-cli for weeks. I have no trouble getting it to co…

Super cool, I spent a lot of time playing with representation learning back in the day and the grids of MNIST digits took me right back :) A genuinely interesting and novel approac…

This. There are a dozen vibe coding apps whose landing pages promise roughly what this one does. Why isn’t your tagline “Vibe coding for founders”? All the em-dashes in the AI-gene…

"Teams using this system report: 89% less time lost to context switching 5-8 parallel tasks vs 1 previously 75% reduction in bug rates 3x faster feature delivery" The rest of the R…

Super cool idea! What's your plan for dealing with copyright complaints?
