> Looks like Elon's finally giving up on XAI and just selling the compute

I don't think that's certain yet, but I do think that the open-source models like Gemma and Qwen are getting so good so fast that even Anthropic has real risk around the long-term value of their models and tooling.

Basically, if I'm Anthropic or xAI, I try to get revenue whenever and wherever possible and see what sticks. There's no value in playing for monopolistic control when everything is so volatile.

And adding climate hysteria here diminishes the climate change argument generally. It's like "the boy who cried wolf".

> It really seems like we could be at the dawn of a new era similiar to flash

We've been there for a while.... creativity has been the primary bottleneck

Irrelevant if you can keep doing decapitation strikes on leadership.

lol no, they both have lost substantial influence in Iran... the US has been chipping away at the spheres of influence for both China and Russia in recent months, first with Venezuela and now Iran. Hopefully Cuba is next.

And the US surveillance capabilities are substantially greater than they were during the Iraq and Vietnam wars. Smuggling in drones or missiles isn't some trivial affair.

And again, if they do that, we just decapitate their leadership again. And again. Until they stop.

You arguably can't run gorilla large-scale manufacturing. There are obvious limits to what you can achieve when the opposition can run decapitation strikes every few months.

Exactly, but Hacker News is upvoting this because it wants the US to be seen as the loser of this conflict.

Both sides in a conflict (or any negotiation) make demands that they know the other will not accept. You can't just take someone's list like that and assume that'll be the exact outcome.

But we can eliminate 90% of senior leadership at any time. How do they measure that cost?

This is not the deal. Iran had published this earlier as their list of demands, just like the US did. The reality is something in the middle of that.

But tech debt with vibe coding is fixed by just throwing more magic at it. The cost of tech debt has never been lower.

Have you been using `omlx serve`? If so, how are you bumping up the max context size? I'm not seeing a param to go above 32k?

Did you have any Anthropic vs OpenAI specification issues with Claude Code? I have been using mlx_vlm and vMLX and I get 400 Bad Request errors from Claude Code. Presumably you're not seeing those issues with llama-server ?

> I feel like this design direction is leaning more towards a chat interface as a first class citizen and the code itself as a secondary concern.

That's because that's exactly where we're headed, and it's fine.

And despite saying that they're the party of YIMBY, in practice we can clearly see that Democrats simply aren't. They'll say that they allowed ADUs, but then Dallas will come along and build 10,000 homes in the time it took Seattle to simply debate ADUs.

At some point you have to look at the actual results of policy.

Right, it's not an inherently left vs right thing. Today NIMBYism has been largely a left-wing phenomenon, with really high end housing developments that are politically untouchable by housing projects.

The answer is always the same tho: make it easy to build housing, and build more housing. Keep building housing until there's a glut of supply.

Housing prices cratered in China, because, yes, eventually supply catches up and then the ponzi schema has nowhere to go but down. Lots of people hold real estate thinking it's an investment just by itself, so it's been a vicious cycle of prices going up. But if you build enough supply, the market stops treating property that way.

I don't think the Chinese real estate market will ever truly "recover" to the Tulip Mania levels it hit before. Especially with a declining population.

Leftists doing anything except just building more housing

Rent is falling all over the Southeast where housing has been built in droves, and actually in greater quantities than new demand. The only solution is just flooding the market with housing.

I feel an ocular migraine coming on looking at these.

On CRT displays, did these not cause visual problems in the same way? I remember having no trouble looking at these years ago.

> A lot of people are venally or ideologically motivated against accepting this.

That’s the story of the last 10 years among certain types that keep regurgitating obviously wrong concepts.

Saddened to load this comment thread and see no comments related to Mars and terraforming

Largely a left-wing echo chamber here (and also seems to be much more European here than the average forum), so everyone here all thinks Musk is doing something illegal just because he's right-wing.

These raids are entirely political.

Not sure if you're a .NET/C# person, but PDBs are a bit different tho in that they contain full debug information and you can absolutely decompile a .DLL + .PDB combo. Very successfully even in the case of obfuscation.

Yep, and nobody ever goes on these types of threads and says the EU is collapsing, even though there's demonstrable evidence that things are not going great for the EU (the UK left, there is virtually zero economic dynamism or tech investment, Russia has seized 1/3 of Ukraine who was trying to join the EU, and the continent has no money, no navies and terrible demographics to compete globally in the next century). People gloss over issues about the EU because it aligns more closely with their political beliefs.

Precisely. People in this thread almost seem mad that the economy didn't crash in Trump's first year.

And then when it gets it wrong and you ask why it grew a nose instead of an ear: "You're absolutely right! I can fix this!"

Because it's talking past each other. Very few people are literally asking for divine intervention, they're conveying wishes for a good outcome

> At least a few of these, like payments and basic communications, can be done from a watch.

Is that a distinction without a difference?

Utter nonsense. The scale of disruption with LLMs is almost unfathomable. Every small business in the country has basically abandoned the big platforms and expensive enterprises for IT support, marketing and digital content creation, HR, legal...

Patients are having detailed conversations about their health with LLMs. Office visits for routine questions are plummeting.

Software is written almost entirely by LLMs, producing a greater volume of code in a fraction of the time.

Rapidly, we are approaching a point where there is no need for junior employees in most organizations. It's not industry-specific, it's universal. This will reshape corporate Big Four accounting, software engineering, and medicine because revenue will shift so dramatically.

This is not just some marginally more effective use of computing resources.

Most of the comments here feel like cope about AI TBH. There's never been an innovation like this ever, and it makes sense to get on board rather than be left behind.

Are you intentionally missing the point? Our films made in the US are already neutered from a free-speech perspective because we're chasing opinions that are politically correct in China. We don't want to worsen that by bending to every foreign tax break. We should be making unapologetically American movies, and if foreign consumers still watch those movies, all the better. But we shouldn't be writing these to a lowest common denominator of politically correct speech. It's how we've arrived at a point where all we produce is Marvel slop.
