It's been a while now that for "thinking" or "reasoning" models, most of the tokens generated are "thinking" tokens, and depending on what goes into that "thinking" token stream, it "decides

Seems obvious to me, though, that you can't beat China by pausing when they don't, and China is not likely to coordinate.

The argument seems to be: * Destroy the free internet in the US, ban VPNs in the US, assume enforcement of this is effective, ban frontier AI development in the US (probably needs at least one constitutional amendment) * Assume no other cou

But "sentient" does not mean the same thing as "human". It can be a property of other things, the way "flight" can be.

I ... need to get out of my evidence-based bubble in which I'm observing real non-technical users in the real world? This is not a discourse bubble. I'm not getting my talking points from other people. I'm drawing conclusions

Huh, TIL "engram" is not just an alternate spelling of "n-gram".

You don't need a backend. You don't even need a static site generator. Just sit a non-technical person in front of Claude Code and tell them to tell the computer what they want (including what the content should say). For somethin

I think you've got it backwards. The people arguing Claude can't be sentient because it's not human are arguing that a plane can't fly because it's not a bird.

There's a solution to this problem, and that solution is workers unionizing.

He's not "asking for a coauthor from Anthropic"; he already has a coauthor, who he's already been collaborating with, who happens to also be employed by Anthropic (but whose research in this area is not done as part of t

Prompt: cure all cancers and make sure to pretty please not to kill all humans, make no mistakes (This is the alignment problem of course)

It would also help incentivize real improved use of expensive property, and less speculative investment without improvement, perhaps leading to lower prices (thus lower land value, and lower taxes), perhaps reaching some kind of equilibrium

Many open weight models do actually have open training data and training algorithms -- I think especially some from Nvidia!

by reverius42 21d ago
Because making new AI models is a research activity, so the group within Nvidia (or other companies) that does that activity is called a research lab, or just "lab" for short. I don't think anyone is saying that all of Nvidia

Disagree, I think we do in fact have to treat AI models as capricious genies, at least until the alignment problem is fully solved. (I'm also not sure the alignment problem is even possible to fully solve.)

You're not the only one, I'm running Qwen3.8-27B in LM Studio and it seems to be going great. Was very easy to set up.

If you are sure about the final shape of your output it's a great use case for AI, as you can define what you want in your prompt and refine towards it! It's where you don't know the end state you're looking for that you

My M5 Max has 3 modes, "low", "automatic", and "high". Automatic doesn't seem to simply switch between low and high -- it seems to sit in the middle and vary dynamically based on workload and temperature.

Yes, a true overabundance would bring salaries trending down (theoretically all the way down to minimum wage) until the overabundance is fixed by making people choose other careers.

Pushing pixels around the screen is how I used to describe my day job. These days I describe it as "I talk to Claude about every 15 minutes".

A lot of people believe that this reality, in which we're conversing on HN, is also a simulation (thus making the fruit fly a simulation within a simulation).

Hospitals shouldn't have to negotiate with insurers. It should be illegal for an insurer to not pay for a necessary procedure at the hospital's standard rate.

The fact that it's already common doesn't mean it shouldn't be illegal. And I'm talking more specifically about a single entity selling to multiple customers. If two different retailers want to charge two different price
