The typical inhabitant of a town that is a good candidate for data center construction is suspicious of authority, hates big tech companies, has heard AI is coming for their job, a…

You've just described what the AI industry refers to as "evals", a collection of which forms a particular benchmark. I definitely encourage you to define your own evals, because th…

Yep!

I mean, they gave money to a PAC that is trying to get legislation to control all models. He’s fine with legislation affecting Anthropic as far as I can tell, as long as it’s evenl…

While I don’t love Google (it’s hard to love) I actually think Sundar isn’t an asshole fwiw. Also I’m not sure if you’d put Dario in big tech circles but he seems half decent. A li…

That’s a misread. You don’t play chicken with a squirrel on the road.

The article is a very shallow restatement of the conclusions in this paywalled piece: https://asia.nikkei.com/business/technology/five-us-tech-gia...

The study uses Gemini data to draw conclusions about AI usage for economically useful work. Hopefully it is obvious that this is a fatally flawed approach due to inherent bias in l…

You really aren’t going to get very far intellectually with a rigid ideology that equates disagreeing with Trump to a mental illness. I’ll happily admit that Trump is right about s…

The story right now is to own the least you possibly can, at least if you're a business. If I can buy it that's usually the right choice, in terms of opportunity cost if nothing el…

I feel like this might be solving a real problem (agents having identity, access controls, etc that are provisioned like you would a regular user) — with this Nostr layer that does…

It’s fun to see projects like this that seem largely unlocked by LLM assistance, and probably wouldn’t even get started if it weren’t for them. I know the hype cycle for LLMs seems…

> The agent is more focused on coding than cowork / work I suspect this difference is pretty minimal. Before Cowork launched I was using Claude Code in the way that I use Cowork no…

I’m a VP Eng — the backend team I manage strongly prefers CC and Opus. The Android team I manage strongly prefers Codex and GPT 5. I’m personally not sure that the answer doesn’t j…

I mean, you can have nothing change on your side, but guess what, your customers didn't talk to you but they are changing things all the time.

Wow dude. That is a hell of a README. Great job!

Fitbit is owned by Google now — are you sure you want that job? ;)

The body both absorbs RF, meaning there has to be a safe absorption rate (SAR) and creates impedance with it. It also creates radio shadows. What’s more, larger individuals have mo…

Not exactly. Early cell watches were not going to meet the existing carrier standards and so they received specific exemptions from the carrier to operate on their network. Over th…

The main way is that literally zero of these watches actually meet the standards that the cell networks require of a cell phone. Every single one of them has a carrier exemption or…

I'll agree I guess and clarify that the better phrasing is probably something like "haven't yet shown the capability to."

Oh yes, not remotely true. Which is why the frontier labs all have invested heavily in trying to identify and thwart distillers, using known company names / domains to drive their …

I think the stored procedure equivalent would be a "on delete, cascade these tombstones" -- both safer and cleaner.

That’s misunderstanding why these models are behind. A large part of why they’re behind is they aren’t able to do the reinforcement learning post-training steps that takes a pre-tr…
