Always the bringer of facts to rain on my factless fun. Thank you.

I’m in a very small C-suite and AI psychosis definitely takes over from my normal level of dysfunction at times. Fortunately, my reports are good at telling me when I am full of sh…

2028, everyone. Hang in there.

These supernova-generating black holes are atomic scale (Schwartzchild radius of 15pm to 15nm), yet they carry the momentum of a large asteroid. If one of these hit the earth, they…

We are seeing an exponential increase in the share of site traffic to our B2B company originating from ChatGPT and other models. Google Search is cooked.

Google TPUs are built around a 128×128 systolic array of multiply-accumulate (MAC) units. Trainium 1, Trainium 2, and Inferentia 2 also feature a 128x128 systolic array. You learn …

It’s relatively easy to get access to the frontier labs’ security programs. This was not always the case. But in the last week, my team got approved for both Anthropic and OpenAI’s…

Now who wants to say ChatGPT 5.6 Sol is just another token predictor...?

That's not the point. Often in medicine, the downside of using one thing is that you're not using another thing that would be safer and more effective. When people chase results fr…

What value is there to an informal conclusion when the topic is as important as intelligence? The downsides to creatine if taken without good scientific backing should not be disre…

If the weights are open, censorship can be easily trained out of the Chinese models. But if you’re sending your tokens to China, all bets are off!

Oh yes, I know it’s a harness feature.

Fable seems to be a larger model. It costs more to run and does not seem superior for _typical_ software engineering work. But for work requiring raw intelligence, perhaps its size…

I think ultra mode needs to be more clearly documented (or perhaps cautioned against!). Most devs - myself included - who saw “ultra” mode figured that it’s just a magic bullet tha…

It's kind of amazing that this took so long. On the other hand, this is just chapter 3025223 of the failed war on drugs and we can be confident that people will find something wors…

A lot of the work that coding agents do requires tons of random access to files, which MacOS is particularly slow at. Not because the hardware is bad, mind you. Mac SSDs are amazin…

And, make coding harnesses run 20x faster at many multi-processing and file operations by running the coding harness itself inside of Linux instead of MacOS…

You are not wrong, but the practical reality of local hardware is to be batch-constrained in comparison with a multi-user inference cloud. You will never be able to compete cost ef…

Here’s the two main reasons why local inference won’t compete any time soon with the cloud: 1. Most useful LLM work is done in parallel. A Mac Mini can run one LLM inference thread…

I disagree with this assessment. Theo is nerdy and, yes, he has a healthy ego. But, he provides insightful commentary on his channel and he works very hard to present what he belie…

I’m guessing the OrbStack team will probably support MacOS native containers soon enough, with all their management goodness on top.

How much time have you spent with Fable? We're in new territory here. It does not create messes.

It’s not about Iridium. It’s about Iridium’s customers and partnerships. RocketLab hopes to launch their own satellites presumably and then can sell significantly improved services…

And anyone who has done an introductory course in VLSI design would know that capacitance (coupling) is something you usually want to get rid of. However, all kinds of amazing anal…

What they are trying to achieve is to demonstrate that the coupling approach works in a simulated physics environment (O(n^2) as you point out) so that they can then build CMOS cir…
