"Comfortably" varies by person. I know many people living fine on less in San Francisco.

Yes, I absolutely know some. At the same time, many weren’t out of financial necessity but maybe financial convenience. I know a few who had a remote job or worked in their hometown even though they had savings and weren’t spending a lot. T

Some interesting ideas in this, but I think his argument is somewhat undermined by the fact that his main example of computer use has actually gotten much better recently because of RLVR

Perhaps. RL env companies based in the U.S. sell to Chinese labs quite a bit too though (though on a discount, once they're no longer on the frontier)! And it would make sense that a lot of these problems which are based on work in the

What did you do around cross-harness testing? I don't see anything in the blog post about what harnesses were used in evaluation. SOTA benchmarks have consistently shown that frontier model performance is quite sensitive to what tools

Obviously a balance would be best, but as someone who went to a very grade-inflated school, I do believe that grade inflation gets in the way of education substantially. When you can get through classes with very little effort and understan

I mean, so many graded assignments are online now that very little technology is needed to cheat. I would guess that is the largest driver in increased cheating at universities.

As someone who attended an elite school in the post-covid era, here was my experience: There is relatively little stigma against cheating. Maybe in smaller seminars and classes with higher collaboration there is some, but much less so in la

Sort of. Putting current knowledge into a number can be pretty interesting / useful though. Like many people, I read headlines and pay attention to what's happening in international politics, but from those it's hard to have

I’m not so sure. From talking to some of my own friends at google they feel that antigravity/gemini models are handicapping them and would much rather be using claude code (which only deepmind gets to use)

I mean, this is why everyone is making bank selling RL environments in different domains to frontier labs.

I mean the same level of intelligence does get cheaper. People just care about being on the frontier. But if you track a single level of intelligence the price just drops and drops.

I wish I had the opposite of this. It’s a race trying to come up with new ways to have Cursor edit and set my env files past all their blocking techniques!

It’s unlikely the students at Brown killed were targeted. He opened fire on a room of students at a review session, shooting 11 people. It seems very possible that this was an act of violence out of resentment towards Brown, where he droppe

I grew up in a very warm place, then moved to a very cold place and was miserable. I’d never done a winter and every year I was deeply unhappy for huge spans of the year. But then I moved to Denmark from that cold place and found myself ver

I believe they’re just classifying all models into “reasoning models” eg o3 vs “non reasoning models” eg 4o and just doing a comparison of total tokens (input tokens + hidden reasoning output tokens + shown output tokens)

Meta doesn't actually owe the bank anything in this setup. That would be Blackrock and the other private creditors.

I agree with this. It's a critique you'll hear often from intellectual elites who prefer NYC. But most people, even in the bay area, are people with many interests who don't talk about intellectual things all the time! "

I mean the ruling does in fact find that treating this particular kind of creative work qualifies as fair use.

Maybe, though this lawsuit is different in respect to the piracy issue. Anthropic is paying the settlement because they pirated the books, not because training on copyrighted books isn’t fair use which isn’t necessarily true with the other

If that demo video is how it actually works, this is a pretty amazing technical feat. I’m definitely going to try this out. Edit: I've used. It's amazing. I'm going to be using this a lot.

This makes sense as long as people continue to value using the best models (which may or may not continue for lots of reasons). I’m not entirely sure that AI companies like Cursor necessarily miscalculated though. It’s noted that the actual

This post tracks well with much analysis of some (emphasis some) AI companies in this particular audience.
