    assuming the k3 model weights do indeed get published, if your model of the world is "achieving RSI is beneficial and K3 has done so," this feels structurally different from ordina…

    my first prompt to any Kimi model was K3 via Pi, some version of "hi kimi!!" and the response was telling me "I'm actually Claude." this is not hard to repro, just use a system pro…

    the point of c++ when you need max perf is to be able to maintain the compile-time abstractions you need w/ templates instead of macros and undocumented optimizer behavior, not oop…

    I take (prescribed) amphetamines and use LLMs, and I think "I wrote this while on amphetamines" will leave you with way better understanding of the code than "I vibecoded this?" Li…

    not sure that works as well when they don't own their API though; how much software is openrouter-only in a way that's not 5min of deepseek to patch the source for, or 15min of opu…

    the compiler can still interleave anything it shows is side-effect free; it’s hard to show that something would benefit from being reordered without analyzing it well enough to det…

    I can't tell if you're hyperbolizing the idea of community, or describing schooling.

    If I interpret "a machine superintelligence" as "a classroom of 300IQ humans," I'm not really sure how this is true? You still have material and energy constraints, you can't think…

    you're thinking of the programs in low-level langs that survived their higher-level-lang competitors; if you plot the programs on your machine by age, how does the low quartile com…

    my impression is that most CL these days is existing large closed-source codebases, hence the price tag for those compilers (you're not trying it out for a bit, you're funding the …

    how does this compare to MoSA (arXiv:2505.00315)? do you require that there's a single contiguous window? and do you literally predict on position, or with a computed feature?

    There's usually an if(temp == 0) to change sampling methods to "highest probability" -- if you remove that conditional but otherwise keep the same math, that's not deterministic ei…
