isn't this the fault of the subcontractor for agreeing to the impossible?

yes, they are. they are hugely concerned that China has loads of power, and the US is incapable of keeping up the biggest limiting factors for AI labs scaling are silicon, then ele…

since 2016 ish, big tech has measured infrastructure efficiency in watts, not dollars. that's because they made multiple long term deals for power that came up short they want to b…

I think your anger would be better placed with the institutional barriers to building clean energy in America that prevent these infrastructure companies from doing the right thing…

it is not only "that hard", it is impossible 1/ deploying solar takes years to go through multiple layers of environmental review at municipal, state and federal levels 2/ the gene…

they don't have the same name, the email confusion was between Wang and Chang

the major labs want to advance science. current business use cases are a happy accident

this is not a good measure of current model capability. we need to test agents in harnesses, not models with a single prompt test Codex, not Sol. test Claude code, not Opus

I really enjoyed this. This talk contains a powerful message of optimism, possibility, agency and power that resonates strongly with me. Computers and technology are force multipli…

this is pretty nonsense for a small or home server. it isn't that hard to make something essentially completely bulletproof over a small surface area the issues mainly come from sp…

it's in the GitHub repo

chips run way hotter than 20C, and radiative cooling scales to the fourth power of temperature. check the math

radiators about the same size and weight as solar panels will do the trick there is already a h100 in orbit 1GW of compute is a lot in 2026. comparing 100GW of annual compute to Sp…

token cost for the $100 video was $3.25 for Sol 5.6 and $25.05 (!) for Fable 5 for the $25 video it was $4.27 (Sol) vs $16.99 (Fable) this seems like an interesting benchmark of a …

it's well documented that models can be adversarially trained with essentially backdoors in response to special inputs while I am skeptical that this is happening atm, there are pr…

the ability to even attempt this ambitious project is what free software is all about

did you build anything tangible with this idea?

critique of writing style isn't made better by claiming it was authored by an LLM

that's exactly what I'm saying. understanding is good you didn't re-invent it, you learned it from a teacher and then practiced until you understood it to the required degree

it's an interesting point. is it worthwhile to struggle through an incidental task that has been solved before? we all stand on the shoulders of giants I think in most cases, under…

when a parent answers their child's question, does it decrease the curiosity of the child? many children have an unlimited capacity to ask "why?". many adults are the same if the a…

my comment is pushback against claiming "this generation" as uniquely doomed, and doomerism in general

light pollution already means the night sky is largely invisible outside of remote areas

I heard oai turned apple down, not the other way around
