j_maffe··on Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed
This is insane. Can we switch the linked page to this?
j_maffe··on eMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
At this point we're talking about chances so slim that only philosophy can save the situation.
j_maffe··on eMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
I really wonder if this would/should hold in court. It is ridiculously unlikely yet genuinely possible.
j_maffe··on DeepInfer: High-performance, large-scale inference framework for DeepSeek models
Because when inference providers user/learn from this engine, their prices will go down, causing commercial API pricing from closed source providers to go down, hurting their net revenue.
j_maffe··on DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017
They're not arguing against the institution. They're arguing against the metric .
j_maffe··on E Ink Kaleido 4
I find that sittin laterally on a couch or chaise lounge the tablet fits really nicely on my lap. But I agree, if the exact same tablet was like 9 inch and half the weight, it would be the perfect device for so many activities.
j_maffe··on Calculus with Julia
I use it for network science research. It's definitely my language of choice for (scientific) computation.
j_maffe··on Yes, and
I disagree that one needs to read the code to understand the system. I think eventually AI agents can form a layer of abstraction above it.
j_maffe··on Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navanethem Pillay
Sanctioning ICC judges. They did nothing relevant to US citizens.
j_maffe··on Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navanethem Pillay
The only country that has "fuck you" anything is unfortunately the US.
j_maffe··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Perhaps you're letting the chat context reach 100%? I suppose that's a way that would drive up spending.
j_maffe··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Given that the US models likely used some of the innovations made by DeepSeek, I highly doubt it.
j_maffe··on Claude Code’s suggested message feature: I think the real customer is the model
Same thing stopping me from ignoring someone talking loudly on a train while I try to think about something.
j_maffe··on OpenAI breaches Medicare, Albanese reveals
I highly doubt given OAI's latest streak that the models didn't know what they were doing.
j_maffe··on GPT-6 Astra Solves a WWI German Radio Cipher
I'm not sure I agree. More is different. Being able to execute logic at a higher scale and speed would make some previously infeasible intelligence tasks possible, resulting in a new level of intelligence.
j_maffe··on We must pace the frontier
That would be the best case scenario. I honestly wish things would finally slow down a bit. I don't see it happening.
j_maffe··on We must pace the frontier
Would you argue the same for allowing everyone to have guns?
j_maffe··on We must pace the frontier
Yeah the Chinese fear-mongering falls a bit flat when coming from a point of maintaining US supremacy
j_maffe··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
> in a fraction of the time

Well if you do the math, the number of agent-compute time in total, given the insane number of agents thrown at the problem, might end up being comparable in time, if not for the budget.

j_maffe··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
I think if you use an LLM just to proofread then it'll not be able to insert a strong enough watermark.
j_maffe··on Terminal-Bench-Science: Evaluating AI agents on scientific research workflows
The tasks are the thing to really look at here:

j_maffe··on Terminal-Bench-Science: Evaluating AI agents on scientific research workflows
> I worry this doesn’t check correctness

Then it's not a valid benchmark. I agree though they're not reliable enough to just put results in a paper.

j_maffe··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
The Purpose of a System is What it Does.
j_maffe··on GLM-5.3-Flash
No but a provider with more amicable terms can.
j_maffe··on Z.ai confirms Ox Alpha is a new GLM-series model and will release its weights
Anyone has a link to a report of its capabilities? I can't find a reliable source.
j_maffe··on Anthropic's best AI model struggles to attract users as cheaper tools thrive
Not if there's a ZDR policy.
j_maffe··on Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AI
I think the idea of having a human-written persistent document describing the operation of the code is a great idea. This document acts as the prompting interface instead of the chat window and changes can still be tracked. Surely something as simple as a skill.md can be made for such a setup, right? I think the pseudocode style is a seperate axis to this setup.
j_maffe··on Australia passes law to levy tech giants that fail to pay for local news
They would rather ban to deterr other governments from taking such measures.
j_maffe··on Israel creates fake think tank in likely attempt to dupe AI chatbots
> “It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister," he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” said the far-right Israeli lawmaker.

> “Not just those who pose an immediate threat, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” added Ben-Gvir.

Not sure how the full quote is supposed to help.

j_maffe··on Claude: System Prompts
Almost all of my karma is from a single post link that blew up randomly. I think this is the case for most users' karma here.
