The difference is that releasing the model for free doesn't have ongoing cost for the company. Providing cheap tokens is very expensive - specially if you don't have access to the latest transistor node chips. So I think the parent comment is right, there's something else at play allowing DS and Xiaomi to offer these nearly free tokens.

What's the verifiable oracle in this scenario?

Without showing false-positive rates this analysis is useless.

If your model says every line if your code has a bug, it will catch 100% of the bugs, but it's not useful at all. They tested false-positives with only a single bug...

I'm not defending anthropic and openai either. Their numbers are garbage too since they don't produce false-positive rates either.

Why is this "analysis" making the rounds?

Given that Google has said they'll be delaying source code release for Android to every X months intervals (iirc), how is GrapheneOS planning to handle security updates? Will they just be Google's binary blobs?

The controversy isn't about defending one's country, it's about you and the parent comment author assuming what this is all about without reading the article.

The core of the issue about autonomous use of AI in mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous use of AI in automated weapons that make kill decisions. Anthropic is perfectly fine with working with the War Department and "defending one's nation".

But they are not okay with their AI being used to make a mockery of the 4th amendment and making automated kill/no-kill decisions about actual human lives.

Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't a byte-by-byte output recreation of the C++ code in Rust defeat the whole purpose of using Rust? For one, would it be idiomatic Rust anymore? Also, if there's a (non-memory related) vulnerability in the C++ code, would it be possible for that to be introduced in Rust too?

This looks great! I have a couple of questions:

1) Is it possible to start off with plain Postgres and add pgdog without scheduled downtime down the road when scaling via sharding becomes necessary?

2) How are schema updates handled when using physical multi-tenancy? Does pgdog just loop over all the databases that it knows about and issues the update schema command to each?

I'm currently using Ghostty with Zellij, and there has been a constant tension w.r.t whether I should use a zellij feature or a Ghostty one (i.e, tabs/panes/etc) when they provide the same thing.

I've come to the conclusion to rely more on Zellij because I can SSH into my desktop from my laptop remotely to continue my dev session exactly where I left off.

So, these days I don't even use "native" terminal tabs anymore.

You can try raising the head part of the bed by 5 - 6 or so inches using wood blocks. The doctor recommended it to me.

It's not perfect, but has really helped me!

How interesting it is depends purely on your use-case. For me this is the perfect size for running fine-tuning experiments.

5 years used to be true 15 years ago. IPOs are happening much later now, probably 10+ years, if you're lucky

How are situations like lack of liquidity to pay the taxes handled?

i.e, As an employee you get stock options, which you exercise when you leave the startup. Then long before the company has a liquidity event the FMV shoots up because the business is doing well. How do you as a wage worker pay the taxes on your paper riches without a way to sell your shares?

Ads aren't added to agentic workflows. Agentic usage of gpt-5 is only available if you're a paying user.

How exactly has it distracted the U.S?

I don't see the U.S rushing to adopt either renewables or nuclear. We're just increasing our fossil fuel burning (natural gas).

How did we get to a place where either Cloudflare or AWS having an outage means a large part of the web going down? This centralization is very worrying.

Do I need to use the other services from the Ory stack to have this be complete? I tried reading the Ory docs a couple of times when I needed an auth solution but it was indecipherable to me as someone not living in the auth world

At what quantization? And if it is in fact quantized below fp8, how is the performance impacted on all the various benchmarks?

I can't find a single screenshot of opendesk applications anywhere - including their own website. This is extremely strange.

Building data centers for OpenAI, but it requires a lot of upfront capital.

Not really. It lets me focus on what I want to focus on without losing motivation. Gaming is just an addictive behavior which is why it works against it, but not real work that I actually want to do.
