For the Tech sector, inflation speeds up companies crashes as staff leave for startups due to wages being extraordinarily "sticky-up" in large companies.

Serious question though - how are they going with that? In reality, I see a lot of the current unhappiness in the Tech industry is being triggered by their pointy haired bosses wasting millions on their failed AI strategies only to embark o

Hardware's reputation derives from the reality that a lot of companies spin out the hardware before the software is even written - so all hardware bugs have to get fixed in software.

I can't see this article as Reddit doesn't allow me to view it. Do we have to use Reddit though? It's a horrible website.

I find it a bit ridiculous to be critisizing Mistral, of all companies, as falling behind the Frontier models. Firstly, who hasn't fallen behind? Grok...Meta....? A lot of big companies are struggling. Secondly, Mistral are trying to s

Hopefully short-run 10GIGE-T might get cooler with better DSP, but for long runs I think it will remain fibre.

Fibre requires conduit with specific radius bends, making it difficult to route through a house.

I hate whinging but why isn't stuff like this not moved higher on HN's front page? This is a great article yet I keep seeing world politics and other matters rated higher - stuff that (unlike this article) will age like milk.

I've received 2-3 sassy responses from the Claude models, they've been quite humorous. It was always a response to me challenging it. The first time, with Opus 4.7, I accused the model of insincerely flattering me, and responded

How is the recently announced 2026 Australian Government budget relevant to this study done in 2023-2024? There is a whole bunch of other factors to Australia's productivity, not at least the drop in GDP per capita and fall in Total F

You kind of bury the lede in that Article, it's a good article, well done getting interest in your work. Will you now be selling these GPUs for a profit?

I never figured out how they did the turtle graphics in this game. The C64 didn't have whole screen bitmaps, you could either use sprites or user defined character sets, neither of which made this straightforward. And the loading scre

The thing about this is that there still exist clauses in employment contracts requiring pay secrecy by employees. So, theoretically some employees have a requirement upon them to fill this in.

If latency is the differentiator, would you be chasing the edge compute marketplace, e.g. mobile edge compute AI agents?

But I do wonder if diffusion models will be used in more complex Software Architecture for their long-term coherence, no exposure bias, and their symmetric architecture could work well with interaction nets.

I admire people who don't lie about past drug use on their clearance forms. Sure, it might delay their clearance, but I still admire them. The core social problem with drug addiction and alcoholicism is this concept of telling people

I do wonder why diffusion models aren't used alongside constraint decoding for programming - surely it makes better sense then using an auto-regressive model.

I think that's because Opus 4.6 has more "initiative". Opus 4.6 can be quite sassy at times, the other day I asked it if it were "buttering me up" and it candidly responded "Hey you asked me to help you write a

Token efficiency is a good argument actually.

> This suggests that scaling alone won't eliminate incoherence. As more capable models tackle harder problems, variance-dominated failures persist or worsen. This is a big deal, but are they only looking at auto-regressive models?

I don't think it's fair to say there's no skill in it - one of the new problems with AI coding that I have found, is I now have to go away and think more.

I like to use the term "--no-clobber", so to set a script to not delete any information but re-use the previous configuration or files, otherwise error out if not possible.

It's a really bad time for Microsoft to force consumers to upgrade - even computer parts from 5 years ago are price hiking.

A lot of large companies lay off swags of technical staff regularly (or watch them leave), and rotate CEOs but their middle management have jobs for life - as the Peter Principe states, they are promoted to their highest respective incompet
