"Comfortably" varies by person. I know many people living fine on less in San Francisco.

Yes, I absolutely know some. At the same time, many weren’t out of financial necessity but maybe financial convenience. I know a few who had a remote job or worked in their hometow…

Some interesting ideas in this, but I think his argument is somewhat undermined by the fact that his main example of computer use has actually gotten much better recently because o…

Perhaps. RL env companies based in the U.S. sell to Chinese labs quite a bit too though (though on a discount, once they're no longer on the frontier)! And it would make sense that…

What did you do around cross-harness testing? I don't see anything in the blog post about what harnesses were used in evaluation. SOTA benchmarks have consistently shown that front…

Obviously a balance would be best, but as someone who went to a very grade-inflated school, I do believe that grade inflation gets in the way of education substantially. When you c…

I mean, so many graded assignments are online now that very little technology is needed to cheat. I would guess that is the largest driver in increased cheating at universities.

As someone who attended an elite school in the post-covid era, here was my experience: There is relatively little stigma against cheating. Maybe in smaller seminars and classes wit…

Sort of. Putting current knowledge into a number can be pretty interesting / useful though. Like many people, I read headlines and pay attention to what's happening in internationa…

I’m not so sure. From talking to some of my own friends at google they feel that antigravity/gemini models are handicapping them and would much rather be using claude code (which o…

GPT-4 cost 6x on input and 2x output tokens when it was released as compared go GPT-5.5

My takeaway from playing a number of levels is that I am definitely not AGI

I mean, this is why everyone is making bank selling RL environments in different domains to frontier labs.

I mean the details are in the post. You can see the conversation history and the mathematician survey on the problem

I mean the same level of intelligence does get cheaper. People just care about being on the frontier. But if you track a single level of intelligence the price just drops and drops…

I wish I had the opposite of this. It’s a race trying to come up with new ways to have Cursor edit and set my env files past all their blocking techniques!

It’s unlikely the students at Brown killed were targeted. He opened fire on a room of students at a review session, shooting 11 people. It seems very possible that this was an act …

I grew up in a very warm place, then moved to a very cold place and was miserable. I’d never done a winter and every year I was deeply unhappy for huge spans of the year. But then …

I believe they’re just classifying all models into “reasoning models” eg o3 vs “non reasoning models” eg 4o and just doing a comparison of total tokens (input tokens + hidden reaso…

This is really amazing data. Super interesting read

Ah yes. The big tech employees of Amazon and Microsoft, the common folk.

Meta doesn't actually owe the bank anything in this setup. That would be Blackrock and the other private creditors.

I agree with this. It's a critique you'll hear often from intellectual elites who prefer NYC. But most people, even in the bay area, are people with many interests who don't talk a…
