My experience with Rust Wasm workers was that they eventually had shorter cold-start and runtime than JavaScript ones because your wasm is significantly more optimized than a JavaScript one that loads whatever packages/dependencies into its memory.

and so is the Trump administration?

Instead of funding a skin UI for Linux, that money could have been used better to fund Asahi Linux.

Many apps in the App Store are now 0.5Gb in size. I got an M5 with 2 Terabytes a couple weeks ago and I was wondering why do I need all this space for. I guess I might end up short on space.

Most people who comment positively on AI are either shills or people working in the AI industry (gotta keep the bubble expanding). The OP experience matches mine with most models for any kind of serious work. In fact, it was the reason why Claude was previously successful because it was the most railed model.

I've tried the latest models across OpenAI, Claude, Chinese, etc. They just do stuff. That's not how work is though. You want them to do specific work, at which point it's a real hassle to follow up on all the garbage they have been outputting.

/long rant

I thought this would be about the non-fungibility of money and was greatly disappointed. Some (many? most?) people are not aware that a dollar here is not equal to a dollar there and this got way worse in the last few years. It has become exceedingly difficult to move value around even in the same country (despite the hundredth fintech starting up to solve this problem and move money between friends)

The last guy (kimdotcom) who was working on this (incentive for seeding) seems to be heading to the US: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/science-and-technology/651123/cou...

It’s interesting he’s no longer getting any media attention any more.

How does this address the previous point? If they are not providing storage, then centralized or decentralized doesn’t make a difference.

Torrent/P2P can only add redundancy, so it’s impossible to have worse availability than a download link?

Before anyone even contemplates if Anthropic has any good intentions, remember, this is how petty and small minded they are.

Truly the last people you want with this kind of power.

The issue (real issue?) is that it’s unclear whether these governments reduced their holdings or switched them to these opaque structures (tether can be considered one). The idea is, it would be hard for the US to untangle true ownership. I wonder if UBO was getting undone blue or red because it’s a real threat for such a system but the US needs this “second” lifeline.

Based on historical and current events (USA) it takes roughly a couple of years for a country and its leaders to flip from pacifist to aggressive.

We’ll have the same level of security as before; it’s just that, without LLM help, hackers won’t be as effective as before. So the bar is raised.

That's really funny when you consider that generative models also don't hallucinate if you check up on them on every token generated?

If you allow the law to stop you from doing something because of a hypothetical danger, it’ll get severely abused. I come from a country that does and still does this and it’s very ugly.

I am surprised how no one is mentioning how their sneakers dissolves in a couple months? Last store Nike sneaker I bought was 4 years ago. $120 or something and within 2 months it has become unwearable. Since then I only buy new balance from an outlet so the price remains below $100.

Still the last new balance I got are wearing out fast and I am on the look for a newer brand.

I am actually surprised they are still in business and making sales.

How are they going to generate revenue if their old model is Ads on search and the new model is yet to show how revenue can be generated. ChatGPT (on free) is showing ads now but they are not targeted and I highly doubt they are worth anything.

Embedded evaluator will be a great side/consulting-gig for Karpathy and the likes. How do you think these people will be picked?

Military action against whom? the US can’t even handle Iran let alone China.

The security implications of this are very severe when you consider the amount of people who google government websites, banking, crypto and others. And google will happily serve you a phishing website either in ads or results.

What do any of these have to do with you handing over you ID to some random web service?

I've got downvoted and flagged for saying similar. It's actually positive you are the top comment. There has been aggressive brigading around reddit/hackernews and also traditional media. These are malicious companies, so not out of their line. So far, AI seems to be useful only for programming. It's not clear it's useful for other professions. It can't even write straight without being recognizable from afar.

If AI is not even useful for programming, its value drops significantly. And some people seem to have dropped hundreds of billions on this.

Shopify supports multiple countries both as a buyer/seller. I assume there is all kind of customizations needed to comply with each country weird rules. Are all of these software engineers doing core engineering? Probably not. But they are probably tagged as software engineers within the organization.

No, it's not. And it's the kind of evidence that doesn't help and rather confuse. It's not even clear from the article whether an LLM or a dedicated model were used for this purpose.

> That is, I'm not sure that anyone needs to deploy a new compound in order to wreak havoc - they can save themselves a lot of trouble by just making Sarin or VX, God help us.

We already have toxic nerve agents that are largely available for state actors and possibly available for individuals. If you have decided, as a human, to make great harm, you can already do that.

> there is evidence bioengineering is already happening

Mind sharing this evidence with us?

Are the models improving? Because I am not seeing it. I have been trying Astra for a few quantifiable tasks in my codebase and performance wise, it's pretty similar to sol 5.6. Now when it comes to expressing the problem/solution, holy Christ, what a mess the writing has become. It is on the level of Opus 5. Now when it comes to burning money, Astra is just insane. With a $100/month subscription, you can easily burn through your weekly "allowance" in a morning.

Needless to say, for practical purposes am back to 5.6/Opus 4.6-4.8. But hey, maybe I am not smart enough to use LLMs?

A lot of people don't realize that when a leveraged position goes against you (especially with a regulated broker), you get liquidated once your equity runs out, but you can still owe the shortfall on top of that. And the broker can come after your assets to collect it. So your real exposure here is 380K, not 98K.

That being said, I think the parent AI is using paper money. Though who knows, this is the brave new world of AI.

The US singlehandedly dismantled the swiss offshore banking industry. You can’t say they were doing it for moral or legal purposes since they have now moved the activities to the US.

So, yeah, they were never their friends but they were kinda in an abusive yet still beneficial relationship.

This is no longer possible by the way (making an account on twitter with a throwaway email)

Yeah, it side tracked from what is otherwise a surprisingly functional game.

Gold prices have exploded between these two dates. Am I missing something?
