But this assumes Chinese models will not achieve token cost optimization. Intelligence needs are fairly flat for many tasks, and the Chinese models have caught up on this front. Next they achieve greater token cost efficiency and we don’t n

I've used RLAIF to build out heuristic based non-LLM models for various decision systems and achieved like, 95% F1 on certain projects. We're in a place where models can be used to fine tune a lot of stuff via loops.

LLM architectures need to fundamentally change or inference needs to be used in constrained trusted environments. Nothing surprising here. Filtering and sanitizing, relying on tags around input strings that can be intercepted and replayed

I'm quite certain that Google's AI services are likely the most used in the world right now by virtue of having the widest distribution. It's in the search box. It's on your Android phone. Just because they aren't t

Would love to see this benchmark tested on more perceivably LLM friendly frameworks/ORM (e.g. is NestJS or Drizzle / Kysely more performant than their choice of Sequelize) and more frontier model vs just GPT 5.2. Anyone read wheth

This is fairly standard practice for device fingerprinting. LI is probably using this to protect its platform from scraping etc, and extension lists have sufficient enough entropy to help identify users and form a useful component of a fing

The worst has been the post-covid assignment of seating and QR code driven ordering in bars. So few opportunities to mingle. I miss standing in bars, talking to bartenders, chatting with random patrons. This has recovered much better in lar

I'm still stuck on superpowers. Can't seem to get better plans out of native claude planning - superpowers ensures I have a reviewed design that actually matches my mental model. Typical claude planning doesn't confirm assump

I think that, for possibly a very long time, AI will just increase the quality bar and scale of expectations when we produce things. We might take the same amount of time (or longer) to produce something, but with significantly better outco

I've tried all the Q&A skills, confidence meters and little hacks to get agents to clarify and propose better solutions. Clarification and planning has gotten a lot better using some skills (e.g. obra/superpowers), but counter

Yes, we're in for more headless interfaces and there are existing products that will struggle to serve these new interaction models due to organizational constraints. But I don't think it's as simple as asking "are they

Yeah, I guess this take is tempting for a technologist, but Gen Z is buying iPods and walking around in wired headphones because it's cool and nostalgic, not because of usability. Cycles of nostalgia are well understood to be getting s

This is a fair cautionary tale but it's worth understanding the specifics of the situation – Windsurf maintained a relatively easy to replicate product with no moat, and employed a bunch of attractive talent. The company got gutted of

This take doesn't really highlight the fact that the most competitive foundational model companies are innovative application builders. Anthropic and OpenAI are vying for consumers to use their models by building these sort of super

I'm not sure that's the "core problem", it sounds like companies should do diligence on a data asset if that's what they're after.

It could be interesting to host several isolated versions open at different times, maybe a Nine39, a Five39? But you can only sign up for one.

I once drove across the US-Canadian border during a snowstorm. On the Canadian side, the road was a slew of white slush that had us hydroplaning on and off. But as soon as we crossed back into the States, it was like a switch flipped. The r

As far as I understand they're talking about the internal storage mechanics of ClickHouse, these aren't user exposed JSON data types, they just power the underlying optimizations they're introducing.
