You got an article off by one error, I think you meant to post on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49558685 :)

Ah this is interesting. Essentially the idea is that the compute can try and move into positions that it can evaluate but humans might have trouble evaluating because of the board state's complexity?

That was a lot of snark :-) I know what you're saying. It's not clear to what degree the film industry would be viable in its current form though without IP rights. If everyone can watch the latest marvel film at home for free, ar

I think they meant more like "people band together to pay Christophe Nolan to create some new film" ala crowdfunding. Is that a sustainable model for the world economy? Unclear.

Why can't effort just be at the end of the prompt? My understanding is that that is how modes and other "dynamic updates" like the time are handled.

Calling China a country that "bred like rabbits" over the past few decades is first of all offensive and second of all stupid for a country that has one of the biggest problems with their coming population pyramid and limited coup

China is at a higher installed capacity by 6x from overall and 30% by per capita capacity. They're growing installed capacity from your source at 45% y/y as compared to 20% in the US. Sure, there might be more transmission constra

The quote you pulled for China is conveniently 3 years old and missing the global context that it was in response to supply issues with other fossil fuels, not a reflection in meeting demand. These charts address your points: https:/&

Hmmm... Why wouldn't this be handled like other end of prompt things like the current mode?

Ah, so it's more that "LLMs just bypass Rust's safety" rather than "LLMs write perfect C"? That's a more fair argument.

Just curious, are there lifeforms today that rely on these metals to live in anaerobic environments? Maybe the hydrothermal vents that are talked about? Do you think complex life could develop (perhaps by moving backwards) in a way that the

This is neat. I'm only halfway through but some really cool discussion about the internals of the chips and what they offer.

I feel like the future is people building applications with tightly integrated LLMs that work hand in hand with the application's own lifecycle and code. I also didn't realize that people were using agentic harnesses for search, i

I think there's probably a "in a long time" missing from unsubtle bully. American diplomacy was a lot less subtle in the past.

> only ~20-30% of the energy in the fuel turns into useful work, while electricity is much, much more efficient. So, we need much less of it. Isn't a lot of energy used for heating, not work?

Perhaps an un-fun fun fact if you're living near one of these, but Boom aerospace has pivoted to start selling turbines for data centers in addition to its normal business.

Because their model previously got blocked by the government for this and they don't want a repeat?

Claiming that it's more expensive isn't true, it's workload dependent. Filling the cache (worst case) 12 times in an hour is much more expensive than caching it for an hour, and the cheapest is to have your 5m cache refilled

It's a bit unrelated, but I've been wondering if LLM providers are using cache read costs to preserve the illusion of constant output token prices. In reality, the longer your context the more expensive output tokens are, but anth

I once shared a proposal at Google that Vint commented on and encouraged me to follow up on. I haven't, but it certainly made my year :)

How would it help? MMOs generally don't need to know where things are right now since it's mostly static, no?

No reason other than you're giving user's a cost footgun? That's a pretty good reason.
