Any good tips based on your experience here?

Have you done any math hacking with sol/astra or fable? It’s more fun than using them for coding. The models are great at the monotony, like constructing a Gröbner-basis, etc. But they’re all still absolutely awful at coming up with new ideas, new proof methods, or new constructive forms. So you spend all your time on coming up with novel hypotheses yourself and handing off the rote work to an agent.

It’s also quite fun to get instant results by finding isomorphisms into unfamiliar areas of mathematics that previously would’ve required some networking in order to build a collaborative relationship.

I'm getting the same message doing WebGL shader work.

Anthropic has made a recent change that Claude Code will only bill extra usage for the print / non-interactive mode:

> Starting June 15, 2026, Claude Agent SDK and claude -p usage no longer counts toward your Claude plan’s usage limits. Your subscription usage limits stay the same and stay reserved for interactive use of Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude.

Isn't this expected if OpenAI models are going to be listed on AWS GovCloud as a part of the Anthropic / Hegseth fall-out?

I was curious what the commenter's business was, and found this post about HTTP protocol latency: https://jacquesmattheij.com/the-several-million-dollar-bug/

Gemini 3 Pro Preview gets 96.8% on the same benchmark? That's impressive

My account is just a week apart from yours. Neocities is an excellent project btw, glad to see your passion for the web shine through it.

Talk to federal contractors about their experience with DOGE. They’re literally cancelling contracts and helping to their friends recapture the money as new federal contracts since the money needs to be spent anyway.

The congressional hearings over this are going to be excellent CSPAN viewing.

As someone in NLP who lived through this experience: there's something uniquely ironic and cruel about building the wave that washes yourself away.

45^2 = 2025

Happy perfect square year, everyone. The previous one was 1936 and the next one will be 2116.

The algorithm behind this has to be super fun

My guess is that they host a version of the model locally on the iPhone.

Do you have any examples of your prompts? I've found Opus to be vastly superior to ChatGPT for intricate tasks.

Do you have an example implementation of reimplementing the core of these?

Do you have any examples?

A lot of their messaging to advertisers revolves around discussing the value proposition of subs like /r/buyitforlife which has 1.5 million users who are likely actively considering a purchase at the moment of viewership, are willing to be convinced to spend more money, and are relatively affluent. Klaje (Reddit’s rev executive) loves talking about trust and positivity of the user base. I’m not sure how that messaging survives if the site moves away from quality content.

Reddit is very bizarre right now.

Most of the active users are non-power users who are flummoxed at why mods have shut down their favorite subreddits. They are complaining in droves. Lots of long-winded Facebook boomer-style rants about how they read the subreddit with their kids and they need it back up to entertain them.

Some subs are protesting the spez moderator removal threat by changing the topic of the sub entirely.

Meanwhile, most of the content producers seem to have fled the site and latest high quality serious content is a week old at this point.

I don’t see how Reddit recovers from this without losing a great deal of value for their shareholders. I’m expecting Huffman to resign based on how much he has damaged their monetization potential with advertisers.

Shows solidarity without threatening anyone’s livelihoods. You can’t get fired for simply taking a lunch break.

Could you explain more? Sounds like a fun problem.

American baby boomers are worth, on average, something like $1.2M depending on your source. That's a lot of retirement capital that will be leaving various markets and chasing goods and services over the next few decades.

It's a language completion model, so it's not surprising at all that it struggles with logical inference. That's probably one of the reasons that instruction fine-tuning has such a dramatic effect in the performance of these models: they're finally given some of the underlying causal priors of the task domain.

What careers are you thinking of?

Cool. I’d be interested in the algorithm that you’re giving it to write and what problem it is having with the output.

Have you tried GPT-4?

This isn’t necessarily a Glass–Steagall issue as SVB was primarily in government bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

Taleb was a founding partner of Empirica Capital from 1999 until about 2006. He has also been active in Universa https://www.universa.net/, which is an active black swan fund selling long-vol strategies.

Coinbase's 2031 notes are rated Ba2 and are trading at about a 13% yield. As a point of comparison, Murphy Oil USA also has Ba2 2031 notes with comparable coupon that are trading only at about a 6% yield.
