vFunct··on ‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video]
> Most Israelis do not hate Palestinians.

LOL 51% of Israelis gave Palestinians a 0 out of 100 score rating of their humanity, according to PCPSR and the Times of Israel poll: https://pcpsr.org/en/node/989

Seems like their business plan is unsustainable. What's a sustainable cost model?

Say an 8xB200 server costs $500,000, with 3 years depreciation, so $166k/year costs for a server. Say 10 people share that server full time per year, so that's going to need $16k/year/person to break even, so ~$1,388/month subscription to break even at 10x users per server.

If they get it down to 100 users per server (doubt it), then they can break even at $138/month.

And all of this is just server costs...

Seems AI coding agents should be a lot more expensive going forward. I'm personally using 3-4 agents in parallel as well..

Still, it's a great problem for Anthropic to have. "Stop using our products so much or we'll raise prices!"

vFunct··on Is Jeff Bezos killing The Washington Post on purpose or by accident?
Yep. He has no idea what he's doing in media, or much else really (outside of AWS)

vFunct··on Rapidus Starts 2nm Gate All Around Prototype Production at IIM-1
How far behind Intel are they? Does Rapidus have backside power delivery?
vFunct··on AMD CEO sees chips from TSMC's US plant costing 5%-20% more
I'm surprised the US just doesn't fund a new fab company or consortium, like Japan did with Rapidus.

But I guess "too much socialism"

Much faster than Claude Sonnet 4 with similar results.
vFunct··on Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world
Do we know if the full model is FP8 or FP16/BF16? The hugging face page says BF16: https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct

So likely it needs 2x the memory.

Why not both?

vFunct··on Washington Post: Elon Musk's Starlink works great if hardly anyone uses it
Basically it's only usable for rural or oceanic use. Impossible to use in a neighborhood of 10,000 people.

And Elon wants the FAA to use Starlink to communicate between air traffic control centers, instead of the higher-bandwidth and more reliable fiber...

Aren't Hamas heroes for fighting against the European invaders?

vFunct··on Reflections on OpenAI
He describes 78,000 public pull requests per engineer over 53 days. LMAO. So it's likely 99.99% LLM written.

Lots of good info in the post, surprised he was able to share so much publicly. I would have kept most of the business process info secret.

Edit: NVM. That 78k pull requests is for all users of Codex, not all engineers of Codex.

You have to audit the risky tools because the system you are using was terribly designed.

Again, it's the system's responsibility to make sure you don't fail, not your responsibility.

vFunct··on Apple's MLX adding CUDA support
So if people aren't aware, you can have AI reimplement CUDA libraries for any hardware, as well as develop new ones.

You wouldn't believe me if you didn't try it and see for yourself, so try it.

NVidia's CUDA moat is no more.

vFunct··on Happy 20th Birthday, Django
This is my pain point in Django as well, the query DSL. 10+ years with Django and I still don't know how it's supposed to work, given it's all done within the namespace of a function call.

Fortunately, I now have AI to write any Django queries for me.

vFunct··on Code highlighting extension for Cursor AI used for $500k theft
Yah no that's not how it works. It's the system designer's responsibility to make sure you can run correct code without you reading it.

If you have to read it, then your system has already failed.

vFunct··on Building a Personal AI Factory
The issue I'm facing with multiple agents working on separate work trees is that each independent agent tends to have completely different ideas on absolutely every detail, leading to inconsistent user experience.

For example, an agent working on the dashboard for the Documents portion of my project has a completely different idea from the agent working on the dashboard for the Design portion of my project. The design consistency is not there, not just visually, but architecturally. Database schema and API ideas are inconsistent, for example. Even on the same input things are wildly different. It seems that if it can be different, it will be different.

You start to update instruction files to get things consistent, but then these end up being thousands of lines on a large project just to get the foundations right, eating into the context window.

I think ultimately we might need smaller language models trained on certain rules & schemas only, instead of on the universe of ideas that a prompt could result in. Small language models are likely the correct path.

vFunct··on IDF officers ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near Gaza food distribution sites
Correct. Israel does not allow a free press.

And this is how we know Israel does not believe in democracy and is not a democracy itself, since a free press is a requirement of democracy.

Democracy isn't just having elections. Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Russia has elections, too.

Reposting as it was flagged by Zionists:

You don't have to have sympathy for them. Their religion literally tells them to kill children to steal their land:

"However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you." - Deuteronomy 20:16-17

And now they are literally doing it.

I wondered how an entire ethnic group could be so depraved and removed from humanity, where literally hundreds of thousands of their members in Hebrew Telegram channels cheer on children being burned alive. And now I know that, it was always their religion that caused their depraved behavior. From a philosophy of racial superiority to literally commands to kill children to steal their land. It was always going to come to this genocidal conclusion.

It's perfectly fine to say Judaism should be canceled, given how Jews are behaving publicly and without shame in their desire to steal land and kill children. They literally don't know that they're not supposed to steal land and kill children. They believe that's completely fine.

vFunct··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Please don't promote war. Ain't no one going to overthrow the Iranian government now that we attacked them. The US and Israel just screwed up everything there. Thanks.
vFunct··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Why must we stop Iran's terrorism? Their terrorism is directed at Israel, not America.

We can in fact just as easily support Iran's attacks against Israel. No reason to pick either side.

Right now the American people are coming to the consensus that Israel are the bad guys. Everybody under 50 already recognizes that, purely based on the thousands of Palestinian toddlers they see on Instagram that Israel kills and injures (the popular post today on Instagram is of a toddler with his legs severed). And the people over 50 will eventually die off, causing Israel's base of support to disappear.

There is no hope of Israel's permanent existence. We should remove our support for Israel immediately and prepare for the long term.

vFunct··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Israel has always threatened its neighbors. Remember, it was born as a group of European Jews that attacked Palestine to conquer their land, with arms provided to them by Europe. It will always exist under a state of war.

We have to let Israel die off and change our alliances. An alliance with Iran would be much more beneficial to America than an alliance with Israel.
