Are frontier models actually astronomically expensive to train? GLM 5.2 was trained on ~30T tokens, so ~10^25 FLOPs. Say you get B300's for $5/h (pretty high), and you get 50% MFU; that's ~$15M. Of course there's also

Reminds me of 0 A.D. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D._(video_game) ). The usual problem with an open-source game is the art/music, but this looks pretty decent.

This is cool. Something about dropping everything to go see a movie in an empty theater is sort of tempting.

I really want automated QA to work better! It's a great thing to work on. Some feedback: - I definitely don't want three long new messages on every PR. Max 1, ideally none? Codex does a great job just using emoji. - The replay is

I have tried many times to do this, but lack even the minor discipline required. I inevitably make changes to the commands I want to run at the command line, rather than in the script, and then later forget to edit them in the script. Inste

I see, yeah, I can see how if it's like 100% matching some parts of the style, but then failing completely on other parts, it's a huge pain to deal with. I wonder if a bigger model could loop here - like, have GPT 5.2 compare the

I was most surprised by the fact that it only took 40 examples for a Qwen finetune to match the style and quality of (interactively tuned) Nano Banana. Certainly the end result does not look like the stock output of open-source image genera

I reset my network settings and updated before realizing this is just an outage. I kept searching “<MY LOCATION> Verizon outage” but did not even consider it could be nationwide. I guess it shows how rare nationwide outages are.

Google (and Vercel) are great for doing this! I would like to see Anthropic and OpenAI do something similar, since they too greatly benefit from Tailwind CSS.

I tend to avoid sci-fi that hits too close to home (don't love any of the AI/internet/crypto classics, same reason I can't bear to watch Silicon Valley), so I was a little bored by the top of the the list. But, there&#x2

There was lots of public scrutiny of Kyber (ML-KEM); DJB made his own submission to the NIST PQC standardization process. A purposely introduced backdoor in Kyber makes absolutely no sense; it was submitted by 11 respected cryptographers, a

> Since ML-KEM is supported by the NSA, it should be assumed to have a NSA-known backdoor that they want to be used as much as possible AES and RSA are also supported by the NSA, but that doesn’t mean they were backdoored.

TLS 1.3 did do that, but it also fixed the ciphersuite negotiation mechanism (and got formally verified). So downgrade attacks are a moot point now.

Standardizing a codepoint for a pure ML-KEM version of TLS is fine. TLS clients always get to choose what ciphersuites they support, and nothing forces you to use it. He has essentially accused anyone who shares this view of secretly workin

I'm surprised at how normal some of the unseen words are. I expected them to all be archaic or niche, but many are pretty reasonable: 'congregant', 'definer', 'stereoscope'.

There has been a theoretical breakthrough that makes search a O(log n) problem, actually, ( https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/1703 ) but it is pretty impractical (and not getting much faster).

Technically, there are rate-1 homomorphic encryption schemes, where ‘rate’ refers to the size ratio between the plaintext and the ciphertext. They’re not super practical, so your general point stands.
