when you think about all of the advancements since Attention / GPT a lot of it has been somewhat more obvious than in other fields, as is typical with the massive flood of innovation that follows a big breakthrough. Paul likely assumes

over time greater intelligence will be expressed in smaller and cheaper models. we are still somewhat near the beginning of this bc we are finally starting to understand what makes a model truly intelligent/capable. With Sol we see op

At this point nobody should assume good faith on Trump's part... not citizens, not allies, not adversaries engaged in negotiation. It turns out "The Art of the Deal" is simply lying.

Yes, thanks for this, Deepseek! (I did start using the Deepseek harness and v4 flash due to the crazy low usage limits on sol and I'm quite pleased to have discovered how capable both of those are -- both have now earned a place in my

Google is in direct meetings with Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick and is prudently keeping dangerous frontier models out of the hands of customers until reasonable precautions can be taken.

It's a bit ironic that in a country with free markets , so much of the data that is relevant to modern finance is proprietary and quite expensive. The exchange/marketplace is the oldest business in the world. How absurd that in 2

Not sure why anyone has a taste for the kind of butch, chest-pounding performative foreign policy we have these days. Not only does it not work, it's dangerous to national security.

If you're getting 2x you are likely at the limit of your own ability to coordinate or plan intelligent work effort, and you have plateaued such that even when models are twice as powerful as they are today you will still be getting 2x

Perhaps, but things like Sora burned a lot of compute -- a high percentage.

While I completely agree with your take, I think everyone has been surprised by how quickly LLMs have become highly useful and extremely powerful, and by how possible it is for relatively smaller models to also be highly useful. Given that,

How is merging identities the solution? The goal is not "how can I do blackmail-worthy activities without being blackmailed?" the goal is "how can I participate in a narrow way without, for example, having those reading my co

Does it really matter that a review was written by "Ronald B Smith" vs "BrewersFan4000"? I'd argue that it only matters when the goal is to convert "real name" accounts into something that is effectively m

There are some of us (late generation-X / early millennial) who saw this coming and still maintain a variety of separate identities across many domains. I don't know why someone would want to have the same identity in the workpl

I'm very pleased to see open source mapping/navigation systems. I have had the hypothesis for a while that many of the UI/UX designers on the google maps team do not actually drive a car.

I make code review and PR approval optional for my teams. A solid process should emerge from respect and peer pressure alone.

This article is sort of a self-advertised red flag that the writer is rationality-challenged. 1) many disagreements are not ultimately about facts but about intentionally different tradeoffs/prioritization. 2) if in fact one argues on

They are focused on the things you do when you are not over-capitalized and you can’t get unlimited nvidia hardware to train on. And the results speak for themselves. Meanwhile we in the US are blocked from buying Huawei GPUs and retirees a

Thank you so much to everyone at DeepSeek who is working on this and who have the courage and generosity to open source this for humanity. We in the United States will never forget! For all the harm Trump does to the US at least he is helpi

China’s leadership is pragmatic, transparent, mature.

Regulation at the state level (which is what Sacks and the toadies were so against) is far superior to this bc it is local and bad ideas only affect those in one state! Bad Federal regulation has a much larger blast radius. Let’s hope Chine

This is what we get when the president is a nepo baby who inherited a fortune and bankrupted many companies and had mainly business failures before entering politics. I’m quite confident that few people are more ignorant on AI than Donald T

You're right it's not only trade policy, but I think most of the fab contracts on current models were already negotiated and Apple ate $3.3B of tariffs as a COGS increase (delaying passthrough avoids spotlighting tariff-driven i

Expect this trend to continue -- firms have delayed price adjustments to avoid retaliation from Trump as doing so would draw attention to Trump's many inflationary policies. Now all of the businesses who use Apple products as an input

to train models to be smarter than they are, one needs examples and cases to train on, and once you get close to the top percentiles of human reasoning there is extremely little such material available. You can create contrived logic proble

It's not surprising if one has the mental model of the probability that the request gets enqueued. Then when you add variable time to process requests it becomes more clear why some requests can take unexpectedly long (there is a >0

It's not surprising that Trump is as bad as he is at many of these things, but what is surprising is that he's worshiped by his supporters.

Great point. I wish more people realized that intuitively.

I tried it and it was extremely broken and dramatically overhyped. Which I guess is what Elon finds appealing about it, as that seems to be his preferred type of business.

While there is some irony in the AI is dangerous marketing Anthropic uses, the main story here is that the Trump administration is apparently retaliating against Anthropic for refusing to relax certain safeguards. Trump and Hegseth have b
