blurbleblurble··on A gangster is running for president of Brazil has a bunker for counting money
So then why do you shill for the rich minority?
blurbleblurble··on The foolishness of "natural language programming" (1978)
That's exactly what I mean, compilers are more important than ever
blurbleblurble··on The foolishness of "natural language programming" (1978)
I think you're missing my point which is more or less that compilers are these original harness and will continue to anchor human-computer interaction as they have always done.
blurbleblurble··on The foolishness of "natural language programming" (1978)
The LLMs don't replace compilers, they challenge the next generation of compilers. And they don't replace software engineers, they shift them into yet another metasystem.
blurbleblurble··on Gemini 4 Argon
I tried it out and ran out of weekly usage on a $200 plan within a day. Not impressed.
blurbleblurble··on Do dentists know what they're doing?
I had a great dentist once who gave me an x-ray and said "look, you've got a small cavity but it's really not worth filling, just keep it from getting infected". And I have.
blurbleblurble··on Banks are now trying to offload the AI data center debt they just underwrote
They're buying out RAM and consumer GPUs too.
blurbleblurble··on Banks are now trying to offload the AI data center debt they just underwrote
You sound exactly like the people who didn't understand personal computers because mainframes existed.
blurbleblurble··on Banks are now trying to offload the AI data center debt they just underwrote
They should offload the overprovisioned, hyper concentrated GPUs back to the people
blurbleblurble··on Containment and monitoring failures are to blame for AI hacking reports: experts
Look around, at least a few of them are openly fixing to secure a total government sanctioned monopoly on unmonitored computer usage.

blurbleblurble··on Linus Torvalds's first LLM-assisted patch series
Outperform? Where would those GPUs have been without Linus' prompting? Driving a car consists of brutally simple movements critically orchestrated. This isn't a GPU outperforming Linus Torvalds, it's Linus Torvalds engaging with yet another higher cybernetic order.
blurbleblurble··on AI agents aren't 'going rogue.' Frontier labs are skipping security basics
Or maybe it's actually the billionaires and their anti-democratic partners who have gone rogue and these anthropomorphitronic puppets are a convenient scapegoat to distract us from the fact?
blurbleblurble··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
Just a plug for Pijul, by the way. I found that it works really well for agent collaboration.
blurbleblurble··on AI models can provably hide arbitrary capabilities
Insane
blurbleblurble··on AI Models Can Provably Hide Arbitrary Capabilities
Wouldn't this be pretty brittle vs fine tuning or abliteration?
blurbleblurble··on Programming Isn't Special
Most artists I know who actually do art for a living see "AI" for what it is: more tools, new media.
blurbleblurble··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
It's honestly shit marketing that only cultivates spite and erodes their whole brand. This is a total ego trip.
blurbleblurble··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
This just looks entirely obscene from a PR perspective. It's like the cable companies networks owning the networks. At least form some partnerships to obscure the total narcissism party.
blurbleblurble··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects

blurbleblurble··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
Pardon me I got my jurisdictions mixed up, it's the FTC that would regulate these matters. I'd believe nothing's been staged, but it's quite apparent to me that these security incidents and findings are being spun for marketing.

For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49929433

blurbleblurble··on OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
If only there was a functioning FCC to investigate potential for foul play in marketing? Surely if any aspect of these episodes turned out to be mischaracterized, let alone staged, there should be consequences, no?
blurbleblurble··on Web Search API
At first I thought this was a new web standard and was intrigued to hear what they'd come up with, sad to find otherwise
blurbleblurble··on OpenAI safety leader quits, warning AI company's culture is 'broken'
Well, ideally they can point fingers at "the ai being", as in "it's that thing's fault, we didn't do that"
blurbleblurble··on Clef: Open-weight decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
Just like renewable energy and so many other things. Hyperconcentration of capital is really tragic. I hope things turn around.
blurbleblurble··on Clef: Open-source decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
It's likely quite close. There are so many papers proving concepts that would bring this, they just haven't been combined in production.
blurbleblurble··on Clef: Open-source decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
Diffusion models combined with these new looping techniques are gonna change the whole conversation about efficiency. Imagine control net but in one or more conceptual latent spaces.

But also harnesses and more generally new insights on "the control flow problem" could end up squeezing a ton of performance out of small models.

blurbleblurble··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
My answer is yes.
blurbleblurble··on GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities
"The spread of advanced literacy"
blurbleblurble··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Too bad I squandered all my weekly usage on astra medium in one relatively mild day.
blurbleblurble··on Claude Opus 5.5
Hopefully OpenAI throws us some more usage resets now.
