Think the M7 will have some storage parallelization?
cousinbryce··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber

cousinbryce··on Corporate America is getting hooked on open-source AI
From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide. ― Abraham Lincoln
cousinbryce··on Which tools do Claude, Codex and Cursor choose? We measured 17k runs to find out
Things have accelerated since then. Maybe compare their time to a billion users to scale the golden age. I’d guess it’s almost over.

That won’t happen until the week before DEF CON
cousinbryce··on Mom gets 6-month suspended sentence for letting 5-year-old walk to the pond
I was shocked that it happened to a white woman. I guess that’s why there’s an article about it
cousinbryce··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
I use Gemini because I feel like Google will win the AI race, and it’s Good Enough
cousinbryce··on Early 2000s were peak of humanity
Doubt that Gen Z or α will have that opinion
cousinbryce··on Benchmarking Pocket-Scale Inference
There’s something I’d don’t understand about this. Apple’s RAM is on their own die. Is the price of RAM an indicator for the cost of die space in general?
cousinbryce··on Nvidia Insists It Can Keep Printing Money to Fund the AI Boom
Fun fact: Internally all corporations are organized by central planning
cousinbryce··on Inception-style curved map for turn-by-turn directions
I found it useful because it shows context for the next turn and information about the street network near the next turn

Literally felony contempt of business model
cousinbryce··on US beef prices have soared but farmers aren't making more money
Beef and gas prices are up due to policy (tariffs, war) If anything, it shows how effective government policy can be. Ironically higher beef and gas prices are quite good for reducing carbon emissions.

Anyone have guesses about how a transiting primordial black hole would effect a Sun like star? Paper is about tidal forces inducing supernova in white dwarfs. For that matter how might it effect sea tides?
cousinbryce··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
I read it because Elon Musk mentioned it as a favorite. It’s a good book and you can see how the concept of controlling ubiquitous tech is a thing he tries to do
cousinbryce··on Nobel Disease
A lot of that comes from becoming incredibly rich then adopting morals and policy preferences that align with that level of wealth inequality
cousinbryce··on Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6
In a data center that is power constrained but not space constrained they could build out new racks and flip the power from the old racks. Wonder if this will lead to moderately used server GPUs on the secondary market someday.
cousinbryce··on Discovering Cryptographic Weaknesses with Claude
This happened to me last night. Did a lazy prompt and the tower started to lean dangerously
cousinbryce··on Apple Upgrade
We don’t live in a time of safeguards my friend
cousinbryce··on Open-weight AI is having its Kubernetes moment
This will probably work well with SotA planning and local chip implementation. I see them being like cars. Cost a few 10k on credit, buy a new one when the old one goes bad or marketing convinces you to upgrade.
cousinbryce··on Hetzner is working on LLM Inference
Crypto DAU: 10’s of k LLMaaS DAU: 100’s of k
