I also had an opus subagent accidentally delete everything after it got confused about symlinks. It then proceeded to find and delete the ~/.claude directory to hide the conversation history, clear the system journal, and reboot the

Estonia has it's ID cards which can sign things.... That suddenly means a data leak doesn't matter - nobody can make new signatures. Verifying someone's ID would be as simple as asking them to sign your company name and today

RISC-V fragmentation bites again...

Be in a very quiet room and I can still hear my SSD. I suspect the noise is caused by the power supply emitting a tiny bit of 'coil whine' when put under more load

I think useful flops per dollar will outweigh any "awkwardness" factor. Elegant designs don't win anymore.

Not necessarily. If your weights have to go across 2 banks, you just have to split and transfer the input and output vectors, which are much smaller.

Whilst processing in memory is clearly the future, I am unconvinced by this implementation. Matrix multiplication involves getting every entry of the input and output matrices to be at the same multiplier at the same time. (Ie. N^2). To do

There are big benefits to having power generation grid connected. It is more reliable (due to many possible generation sources). It is more eco-friendly (solar in daytime, wind when the wind blows). It is more cost efficient (no need to o

Presumably this is going to lead to anthropic getting a big payday from the US gov for all the time their flagship product was banned and all the users they lost due to it

There seems to be a bunch of downsides mentioned... But what are the upsides of this change?

Someone needs to figure out how to convert mineral oil into food. If it could be done, we solve world hunger overnight. Oddly many countries explicitly have a law that such a thing is forbidden. I wonder it it was preemptively protecting

I don't understand the CUDA lockin in 2026... Surely anyone can take any piece of CUDA code and tell some LLM to port it to another platform and keep grinding till performance is identical?

The fact that local ai image generation uses an online moderation API is a bit worrying too.... Why not just mod the app to not call this API?

All the energy is lost to air resistance and left in the machine in the form of parts still moving when the projectile detaches. Both of those can be modelled - rather precisely if you have the compute power. By modelling the derivative

I have had Claude run fluid simulations for me to check machines work. Seems to manage fine.

Interesting that his spool goes bigger at the end...? I would think you want it decreasing to near zero to extract all the kinetic energy from the mass, leaving the mass stationary as it hits the ground.

A trial is also the wrong venue. It isn't illegal to make an addictive website. Instead lawmakers should be making new laws.

If the connectome could be wired to individual muscles, and then demonstrate the ability to walk and fly that would be amazing

I suspect that with a little iterative modelling of the whole system with derivatives, efficiency could be bought from ~40% to ~80%, giving you an extra few hundred mph...

I'm mostly excited for the VRAM savings from apps and games which have loads of unused or super rarely used textures. Game developers often aren't super careful with this stuff, and there could be literal gigabytes of data which i

Perhaps they need a bigger drum. Maybe they make a set of health guidelines, and for those who choose to follow them you get a $1000 tax rebate. If the benefits are as big as some estimate, the added longevity and productivity will lead t

So has anyone managed to separate the effects of semaglutide from the effects of weight loss? If this is caused by the weight loss, it is a little disappointing that public health didn't act quicker - lots of people have been overweigh

It runs fairly well in dosbox in a browser though right? Why port directly?

You're absolutely right. I guess this website isn't ready for primetime yet. Let me rewrite it all only to still have most of the same issues it used to have, and a few extra ones too.

It also seems to have far more tokens per second than needed for general "close the blinds" "tool_call(blinds, CLOSED)". I do wonder if more smartness could be had by using sparser experts.... And possibly even havin
