Are LLMs going to eventually become the architecture that powers self-driving cars? Seeing them play Portal and other video games, I'm curious if they will eventually help solve that last N% of self-driving.

No, the writing style is clearly AI. I enjoyed the content nonetheless.

If anyone is interested, I launched a new mud client in 2026: https://runemud.com I had been working on it for a couple years, using it myself. I finally released it recently. A number of users are contributing feature requests,

I have zero consumer debt and pay off any credit card at the end of the month. But I don’t mind work expenses on my personal card? I get reward benefits for a sizable chunk of expenses that I’m directly reimbursed for?

I hope they bring back the former UI that allowed you to explicitly toggle "AI / Agent" mode on/off in a terminal session, and gets rid of the Oz / Cloud Agent stuff. I don't want this auto-detect agent request

Thank you for that tip, I'll try that.

I used to like Warp and was a paying customer. It had a simple UI with a clear button / key combo to toggle the “agent mode”. That, plus the fact it could “warpify” my SSH connections made this a useful utility. Then a couple months a

It reminds me of the standard counter to the Chinese Room thought experiment: the person inside doesn’t understand Chinese, but the system _does_. The person, the rules, and the lookup tables together form the thing doing the understanding.

Claude Code has gotta be way cheaper for this, right?

I think its the end-to-end, integrated nature of it. API driven, have "elastic resources", etc, etc. Rather than bolting together various solutions you get to have a "Cloud-like" stack in your own datacenter.

This past month Parakeet v3 dropped with a streaming ASR model that is 0.6B params, can run on a CPU and is super good.

I agree that DeepSeek and others have been doing most of the published research for future frontier models. But I’m not sure we can say they the big US companies aren’t doing foundational research anymore. I suspect a lot of it is just kep

This is handy for maintaining a resume! I converted my resume to LaTeX with Claude Code recently. Being able to iterate on this code-form of my document is so much nicer than fighting the formatting with in Word/Google Docs. I dropped

Perhaps concentrated use of Claude Code increases their perceived market value. It also perhaps tries to preserve some moat around their product/service.

I think that’s more a critique of the modern caricature of stoicism than of Stoicism itself. Classical Stoicism isn’t about suppressing emotions. It’s about understanding your emotions, examining where they come from, and choosing how you r

This from quantizing their Gemini model? There are a lot of anecdotal reports of quality differences following some Gemini 2.5 Pro releases earlier in the year.

Gary Marcus tends to have pretty shallow analysis or points. His takes often remind me of Jim Cramer’s stock analysis — to the point I’d be willing to bet on the side of a “reverse Gary Marcus”.

This is why this stuff is going to shift to the user’s AI enabled browser. Half of the sites already block OpemAI. But if it is steering the user’s browser itself?

The commentary around every Chinese model is incredibly disappointing. Asking about Tiananmen Square isn't some clever insight. Look at the political leanings that government-backed AIs in the United States will soon be required to ref
