malshe··on Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

I didn't realize the original was behind a paywall.

malshe··on I am retiring from fulltime writing (& pseudonymity) to launch Guardian Angel

Absolutely riveting! And the casting is so good. Rhea Seehorn has killed it. I really loved her in Better Call Saul but this role is even better suited for her.

malshe··on Texas halts new data centers as governor calls for audits

It’s way too gerrymandered to change the status quo unfortunately.

malshe··on I am retiring from fulltime writing (& pseudonymity) to launch Guardian Angel

> The big AI labs are building a single mind for everyone

Reminds me of Pluribus

(I just started watching it on Apple TV so maybe this is a late realization for me)

malshe··on Texas halts new data centers as governor calls for audits

Oh, this is going to shake up a lot of companies! Let's see how the market reacts tomorrow

malshe··on AirLLM 70B inference with single 4GB GPU

I hope I'm not the only one who misread it as 292 tokens/s and got excited momentarily

malshe··on Flint: A Visualization Language for the AI Era

You aren’t far off. The creator of ggplot2, Hadley Wickham, based his dissertation on GoG. Ggplot2 came out of his PhD thesis if I’m not mistaken.

malshe··on OpenAI’s amazing — but vastly oversold — new model Astra

I wonder if it can write like a normal human being. In my experience the writing is becoming worse the more advanced a model is. Anything written by Fable is practically unreadable.

malshe··on Delivery workers made $104M more in tips after NYC began enforcing new law

Agree 100%. We have reached a point where delivery costs almost match the food costs. It's cheaper for me to drive to the restaurant and pick up the order. Even then the restaurant prompts to leave a tip.

I vaguely remember seeing a post on Reddit showing a vending machine asking for a tip.

malshe··on The iPhone Upgrade Program is being replaced by Apple Upgrade

What makes you think Apple would not accept 100% payment today if someone wants to buy the device outright?

malshe··on RTX 2080 Ti Memory Upgrade to 22 GB

I mean you could just use this, right?

malshe··on Hannah Fry Wins the Leelavati Prize in 2026 for Mathematics Outreach

Yep, it was a game changer in this Texas heat!

malshe··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA

Chinese government vs American VCs doesn't equate to "slight different players."

malshe··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA

I agree. The commenter you replied to makes it sound like the Chinese models are coming out of tiny startups with meager resources. It's really not a David vs Goliath story.

malshe··on How we measured AI writing across arXiv, and where the measurement breaks

I’ve heard good things about Pangram but it’s trivially easy to fool it. I generated text using Opus 4.8 and then humanized it using Grammarly. Pangram determined it 100% human-written. Tried it numerous times with the same result. GPTZero claimed with 80% confidence that it was human-written but AI polished. Nothing in that text was human-written.

malshe··on Codex Resets

We lose money on every sale, but make it up in volume

malshe··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence

what app is he using on his phone to prompt this?

malshe··on Signal Ring gives blood pressure readings, not just alerts like Apple Watch

malshe··on A Beautiful Theory Falls to Ugly Data

But who has the monopoly on wheelbarrows?

malshe··on Track your workout from the iPhone Lock Screen

Thanks!

malshe··on Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model

They have good docs on finetuning in general here: https://thinkingmachines.ai/tinker/

I used it last week for an application using a small model just as an experiment. It all went very well. The model did not turn out to be good though because my training data was of bad quality. I plan to work on it more this weekend.

malshe··on Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model

> If Thinking Machines pans out I could see it finding a welcome home at Apple.

I was thinking the same thing. Apple's use of Gemini can't be a long-term solution.

malshe··on Lego Considering Bondi Blue iMac G3 Set

> LEGO today said the iMac G3 project submitted for consideration on its "Ideas" site has been moved to Parking Lot status, which means it hasn't been ruled out and could still possibly be turned into an official LEGO set.

malshe··on If you want Claude to speak nicely to you, try Hindi or Arabic

This article is just reporting a few results from Anthropic's blog. The original blog post is much more interesting and contains nice visualizations: https://www.anthropic.com/research/claude-values-models-lang...

malshe··on How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing

I use “synthesize” so often! I tell students to analyze published articles and then synthesize the findings. I didn’t know this is now a tell for AI writing

malshe··on Bonsai 27B: A 27B-Class model that runs on a phone

They never had $200 billion in cash in any quarter. Not at least since 2014. Besides, how much cash to hold is an executive decision. If the cash balance went down, it doesn't mean their business is not doing well. Cash can be used for Capex, like what the hyperscalers are doing right now. It can be used for buying back equity.

malshe··on Samsung overtakes Apple as smartphone market sinks to a 13-year low

The macrumors article links to Omdia report which says Samsung market share is 22% and it retained the top spot while Apple market share is 20%.

That 24% market share for Samsung is from the andoidauthority article, which cites counterpoint research.

malshe··on Samsung overtakes Apple as smartphone market sinks to a 13-year low

The reality is that you didn't really check whether the two articles are same. The one in the OP is citing Counterpoint Research. The one you linked to cites Omdia. They seem to be two different market research reports.
