InsideOutSantaon LongCat-2.5: Native Multimodality for Agentic Tasks

Here's one in High: https://www.svgviewer.dev/s/UgGqwY8R

IMO pretty damn good, the bike frame is great, the feet connect to the pedals and the wing to the handlebars, and one leg is behind the bike.

InsideOutSantaon LongCat-2.5: Native Multimodality for Agentic Tasks

In my first test, it filled 200k of its one-million-token window in 5 minutes. Right now at least, it seems to be fast.

Update: a second thread went down to a more reasonable ~80 tps.

InsideOutSantaon Serbia just elected the world's brainiest parliament

Author accuses me of not understanding people and then makes a sweeping generalization about a large number of people.

InsideOutSantaon UK Green party drops longstanding opposition to nuclear power

I'm happy they're doing this, and it's good and admirable to see people be able to change their minds on something they once believed so strongly, but this should have happened 30 years ago.

> there are some basic things you don't understand about people.

> Academics really are naive and out of touch people

That's a hilarious juxtaposition of sentences.

InsideOutSantaon Serbia just elected the world's brainiest parliament

I knew one or two profs like that when I was studying, but the vast majority of people in academia are just regular people with families and interests outside of academia. It's kinda disheartening to see the anti-intellectual bent this discussion has taken.

The exact opposite is true. The only consistently working, stable democracies do not have a single leader of the executive branch, e.g. Switzerland.

The CIA sponsored extensive studies on this and came to the conclusion that democracies with a strong presidential role are associated with a greater risk of failure. It's not really surprising, and it can be seen in the US right now.

It's always funny to me when people say "overeducated", as if knowing things is only good up to a point. If you know too much, you suddenly turn bad.

InsideOutSantaon Cisco gives engineer unlimited AI tokens to rewrite legacy code

It's because the old bits are starting to stink a bit from age. Get those stinky bits out of here, I say! Let the AI make some new bits!

InsideOutSantaon Northflank Breached

Yeah, if Exchange goes down, you get a day off. If the little boutique email provider you chose goes offline, you get a day in calls with everyone yelling at you.

InsideOutSantaon Anthropic Cracking Down on Video Game Rewrites

You don't know what I carry in my car.

InsideOutSantaon Anthropic Cracking Down on Video Game Rewrites

I can't believe I have to spell this out, but when people make an analogy, they're not saying that the things they are comparing are exactly the same. I'm saying that I paid for my Claude subscription, so it should do the development work I ask it to do.

Telling people that they can write code by hand is like telling them that they can walk when their car doesn't drive, regardless of where you drive to. It's technically correct, but it is completely irrelevant.

"The car I bought doesn't want to drive me to the hospital!"

"You can walk yourself you know?"

InsideOutSantaon Proton goes all in on using AI

> this sounds a lot to me like blowback from current or former employees

Well, yeah. They're the ones who are harmed by Andy's behavior, so obviously they're the ones speaking up. How does this disqualify anything they're saying?

InsideOutSantaon Proton goes all in on using AI

Yeah, I'll give him a pass on the 88 thing. Lots of Chinese people have these types of numbers for license plates, phone numbers, or bank account numbers. It has nothing to do with Nazis; they're just lucky numbers. Eight sounds like "发", which means becoming wealthy.

InsideOutSantaon Proton goes all in on using AI

I'm not sure that's true, at least not in this case. Andy is an actual geek. He's just also an asshole. Being a geek doesn't stop you from being an asshole.

InsideOutSantaon Proton goes all in on using AI

I don't even care about that. Sure, use LLMs to write code. But the way Andy talks to his employees and treats them is so disrespectful, I find it actually despicable.

Unfortunately, it's not super easy for me to migrate away from Proton, but it's the next personal tech project I'll undertake.

InsideOutSantaon ‘You Are Done’: The letter sent to King by the F.B.I (2014)

Correct, not necessarily. But if it is, that should be considered.

Right. So we shouldn't take the effects of taxation into account when making tax laws?

No, I'm very obviously not, and the only lazy swipe was your response.

> So you're kinda looking for a "I want to allow this software to do whatever it wants - I accept all risks?" button?

Yes.

> And with each new update you're re-evaluate?

No. Hope that helps.

I didn't say you weren't. I'm asking for myself, not for you.

I found this clip of him talking about his teens and his hair, sadly on Facebook:

Can I have the opposite, a tool that automatically clicks on "allow"? I installed the app, it's fine.

InsideOutSantaon We're releasing the weights of Mistral Large 4

Let's hope so. Another good model for security work would be great.

InsideOutSantaon We're releasing the weights of Mistral Large 4

Unlike with Claude, you can use any harness you want with Mistral's models, including Claude Code.

InsideOutSantaon We're releasing the weights of Mistral Large 4

I'm not sure it really matters. I think a quantized version of a large model ends up being only slightly worse than a model trained at a smaller size to begin with. And like you point out, large models can also be used to distill smaller models, so it's good to have them out there.

What if a large portion of laws systematically impacts one group negatively?

> the aspect of males in female sport, highlights a set of absurd beliefs that are unfortunately quite common on the left

You're playing right into the hands of the kleptocracy by trying to start this dumb-ass discussion up again.

InsideOutSantaon Google Search is now less than half of Alphabet’s revenue

AI revenue is folded into both search and cloud, depending on what exactly it is.
