it's right there in the writeup, it costs more but finds more bugs.

so who's looking at the numbers, planning features and pushing for "them"? What are we calling that?

Carbon is discounted temporarily. It's twice as expensive as Argon. Google TPUs are more efficient than Nvidia hardware plus Google gets them at cost so they have both better margins and more pricing power compared to other frontier labs.

Carbon is Fable / Astra level. Argon is their Opus / Sol.

claude.md is not needed anymore btw, claude now reads agents.md if it doesn't find the other.

Red herring. AIs can read an api spec and do just fine.

there is no consumer choice in a natural monopoly. that's why it's called natural monopoly.

then that's not a natural monopoly and not a good example of what is being discussed.

sounds like bullshit. I'm actually glad that the people that hold this view are getting out of the way, they are the people that gatekept open source and made it annoying to work with. Do I miss having to wait for months to fix a trivial bug because I first need to convince 15 people that the fix is even necessary?

No, not really.

yeah you got it. they really can't. I'm a product manager, I'm STRUGGLING to create a harness for product work, the llms models just can't model a user's mindset very well and make very obvious bad choices that seem to be consistent (and getting worse with the new generations). That doesn't bother me, the code is getting better, but the work to talk to users and understand what needs to be built is still far from being conquered by AI.

general "agenticness"

At this point this is some sort of IQ test right?

I wish AI solved the problem of writing like shit. It REALLY bothers me how bad AI writing is and I'm not at all negative about the technology itself. I love AI, I just don't like the side effect of all this garbage content being regurgitated on the internet right now.

how is that different than what's been happening forever? Mathematics has ALWAYS been a "charity". The only thing that changes over time is who gives the money, first it's the church, then it's princes, then government, it's been corporations for a while, this is nothing new.

I doubt it, bad grammar is better than AI-speak.

the readme is cringe and painful to read. please take a minute to tone the claudisms down.

why everyone spells it "tobasco" when it's "tabasco"? Is that an american thing?

if you live in a place where tomatoes still have some flavor try this: cut a couple tomatoes in small cubes / triangles, add a tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of red wine vinegar, a dash of tabasco, crumble some good tuna in it (like Tonnino or Ortiz) and sprinkle some oregano and salt on top. Goes well with crusty bread, preferably toasted.

That was my fathers' go to summer meal in Italy and I can't think of anything else I'd rather eat when it's hot outside, preferably with a cold lager.

because the report code might have bugs

no he's completely insane though

it's humans all day long

in italian we call them "red cats"

"our work has brought about enormous advancements to the field of mathematics and we don't like it"

it's pretty ironic that AI being just a group of mathematical techniques after all is making mathematicians uncomfortable because it works. Instead of reacting like this, mathematicians should be excited to figure out how to use the new tools available and push the frontier of what's possible in service of science.

Terrence is asking the stupidest question he could ask: how can math better serve me? They completely forgot the point of science is serving humanity.

google must be out of order in your neck of the woods uh?

being a night owl is not good for your health for a lot of reasons (I am one).

you are so utterly and completely wrong it's not worth engaging in anything you wrote.

in this case nothing. they are not public, and they never lied to their actual investors that we know of, they were just being tongue in cheek with the press and never actually made any materially false statement. Being oblique does a lot of the heavy lifting here.

I'm sorry but even as an immigrant in the USA this is bs. The h1b program brought a lot of great talent but also depressed employment rates for american graduates in computer science that's just a fact (please don't bother asking for a link google works as well for you as it does for me).

the H1B program is mostly a wage control tool for american big tech. I'm no friend of the current administration btw, I think they are monsters, but there's no reason to lie about a program that has had incredibly damaging effects on the labor market in the US.

to make a complete copy of photoshop you just need computer use, which this clearly didn't do.
