deflator··on MAI-Thinking-1
Does this mean that work created with it can be copyrighted? Since the courts ruled that the inclusion of pilfered IP was the reason other model's work cannot be copyrighted, I would think so! In that case, this is a completely different beast. It can maybe be used for things that need a durable copyright.
deflator··on VW cuts owners' access to their own vehicle data with API change
Their board of directors are literally wanted by the US for crimes. What do people expect from such a company? I shake my head any time I see a VW.
deflator··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
This really makes it clear. Thank you!
deflator··on Hard-Won Lessons from a Year of Using AI
I have always taken an untrusting approach to LLMs for coding, born out of them being absolute trash at first. They're 1000x better now, but I still guide it every step of the way. It limits my speed gains, but I got what I wanted: no more typing out code and looking up patterns to get the exact syntax.
deflator··on Meta launches Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp subscriptions
It must not be that difficult since I have never used a Meta product in my life. I had a Livejournal, lol.
deflator··on Real-time LLM Inference on Standard GPUs: 3k tokens/s per request
What a lot of use on here are salivating for is the ability to run these on prosumer hardware at home. So we tend to jump to the conclusion that "standard" means "consumer-grade" because that's what we want to see. Still, very cool work!
deflator··on Argonne flexes spare supercompute to build private AI inference service
Mmmm, what I could do with a cluster of H100s like that. Tim Allen grunt
deflator··on Individuals living within 1 mi of golf course have 126% higher Parkinsons risk
The caddyshack gophers must have moved on to chemical warfare
deflator··on Training our own AI models
There's a helpful response. It could always be worse!
deflator··on Training our own AI models
Very true. I was considering PostHog, but this sours them in my eyes. Very deceptive wording.
deflator··on Alternatives to HN for "tech outside of AI" discussion?
I like it, thanks for recommending
deflator··on Minnesota becomes first state to ban prediction markets
Once a vice is taxed, it becomes a budget line item for the local government and is much harder to get rid of
deflator··on A Master's Degree Isn't the Job Guarantee It Used to Be
This has been my experience as well
deflator··on Orthrus-Qwen3: up to 7.8×tokens/forward on Qwen3, identical output distribution
I'm sure I don't understand all the technical aspects, but I do understand that this is frickin' cool. Nice work.
deflator··on Texas county pauses data center construction in rural areas
I would have thought Texas was the state least likely to hamper data center construction. Quite a bad sign for the bubble dwellers. All those Blackwells sitting in warehouses will sit even longer. Looks like its a pretty cosmopolitan area of Texas, though.
deflator··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
My understanding is that healthcare keeps growing because the large Boomer generation is aging. When they have passed though, then we should see a corresponding slide in healthcare growth
deflator··on xAI will be dissolved as a separate company
I stopped listening to him when he said he wanted to die on mars. I think that was 10+ years ago.
deflator··on Egg Intake and the Incidence of Alzheimer's Disease in Adventist Health Study-2
This isn't a drug study. It's about food and nutrition, one of the most intentionally misled topics around. I put the blame for that squarely on those who sponsor studies like this that don't help anyone. They are just muddying the waters further. Any food you look at will have some good qualities, like being a good source of Vitamin C. It's like saying a block of calcium is a good source of vitamin C: of course it is! But that doesn't mean it's healthy to eat
deflator··on Egg Intake and the Incidence of Alzheimer's Disease in Adventist Health Study-2
That's all I need to see to stop reading the study. Sponsored science is just noise.
deflator··on Trump administration cites national security in stalling 165 wind farms
It's still kind of funny. Good catch. I love it when things are both literal and figurative at the same time.
deflator··on The Downgrading of the American Tech Worker
I had not considered that angle. A good, but depressing point
deflator··on GPT-5.5
Got invited to try this, but it was too expensive. I gave it two tasks that I would expect Codex 5.3 xhigh to take $1-2 of tokens on. It used $20 on each, and one was on medium with the other on xhigh!
deflator··on GPT-5.5
They are not good, and they seem to get worse as you increased effort. Weird
deflator··on GPT-5.5
Hmm. Any idea why it's so much worse than the other ones you have posted lately? Even the open weight local models were much better, like the Qwen one you posted yesterday.
deflator··on Making RAM at Home [video]
Makes sense. HF deserves the same awe as radioactive material. I've always found both fascinating. Like some kind of dark magic that curses you if you contact it.
deflator··on Claude Opus 4.7 Model Card
I feel that anthropomorphizing the model is also potentially very harmful. We've seen that in the LLM interactions that end in tragedy. It's the wording that bothers me.
deflator··on BYD is now upgrading some of its top selling EVs with 5-min flash charging
Makes my Mustang Mach E feel super outdated I wonder if the American car companies will be able to deliver this technology any time soon
deflator··on Claude Opus 4.7 Model Card
Model Welfare? Are they serious about this? Or is it just more hype? I really don't trust anything this company says anymore. "We have a model that is too dangerous to release" is like me saying that I have a billion dollars in gold that nobody is allowed to see but I expect to be able to borrow against it.
deflator··on 'Seeking connection': video game where players stopped shooting, started talking
Reminds me of the coop mod for Half Life 1 years back. It completely removed PvP and set dozens of players against puzzles and waves of enemies.
deflator··on Emotion in AI Is Not Noise – It's Signal
Very interesting. I think I will try this with my Codex use

Has anyone on here tried putting this in their AGENTS.MD, or similar?
