    To add: I doubt frontier labs will build routers - they are not financially incentivized to optimize token usage (though in the short term they may be incentivized by constrained G…

    Obviously not, no need to patronize. Did you read it? It seems to be honest about the numbers but it's pretty skillfully written to reassure.

    I found a tweet purporting to show the letter that Leopold sent to his LPs - it looks pretty thoughtful and doesn't sound as bad as some news sources seem to be portraying. https:/…

    Reminds of me of the "most expensive peanut butter" at ~$2.44/g - sold by NIST, I assume for some sort of peanut butter factory process calibration: https://shop.nist.gov/ccrz__Pro…

    Absolutely agreed - though the usual claim for coding agents in particular is that they are already very capable and fast, replacing and speeding up software development hugely (an…

    I was going to say that this surely depends on the type of work being done with AI but then a small dive into your HN profile shows you're working on SWE agents at Google? I am str…

    I don't know that you can trust Google's AI Overview to have accurate knowledge about Google AI Studio internals

    very cool! I've been having a fun time porting non-LLM models to iOS/Android (recently had some success with making Bonsai's image generation model run on Android) - have you attem…

    I think some of the trouble here is that the application of the law cannot be guaranteed to be free of discrimination or bias, regardless of the letter of the law itself?

    I am a native speaker, I agree with this assessment.

    You only need to find an email platform run by people you agree with more , no? I'd vouch for proton mail here.

    I mentioned this specific model because it also has Tough Solar which should mean much longer between battery replacements!

    I doubly enjoyed reading this because I feel like I'm reasonably sure the author never ran this through an LLM because of the "cirriculum" typo.

    This reminded of this other clock project: https://mitxela.com/projects/precision_clock_mk_iv Also: I reckon the closest best-value watch alternative that ticks most(?) of the auth…

    this is extremely encouraging for individuals/small companies being able to train pareto-frontier TTS models (specifically compute required to run vs quality of model output)

    I don't think Gas Town was actually all that much ahead of the curve - see Cursor's swarm post from January this year, mentioned at the very top of this blog post. I also don't kno…

    The OnePlus One was exciting because I think it genuinely was an Android-flagship-competitor at a much lower price. Prices crept up though, and the last OnePlus I owned was the 5 w…

    For extra security against these text-to-speech model zero-shot clones, you might also want to use made-up gibberish words for which the pronunciation can't be reliably inferred fr…

    This sounds plausible, but don't Samsung also sell tens of millions of units of their flagship galaxy range phones, in addition to their budget offering? Perhaps the margin isn't q…

    It can't come fast enough! I have a friend who works on battery storage in Europe and it sounds like an extremely busy time for them, which I'm glad for.

    I was sure this couldn't be true but I couldn't find anything about high temperatures shutting down solar plants. But I did find something about a predicted grid overload during a …
