It’s interesting the author ponders what they might be missing now. it seems like it’s the deterioration of the writing due to llms. I’ve liked some of the authors posts in the past. And might look in more detail at the…
I hope the test data is the same when comparing the different runs. So the big o notation should be the same across different runs.
It’s probably got phone home a few times to to make sure they’re measuring user engagement
This seems to be a very generic/common response to any ai critique. It kind of reinforces my point there’s a lot of situations where the appropriate harness isn’t some agent that’s set to ultra high thinking mode. Chat…
I find that thinking/agent mode sometimes makes it worse/comes up with the same thing and just takes a long time. But I’m sure it’ll be different with fable for a few months until that hype blows over
I guess I’m coming at it from an optimizing market data provider perspective once you preallocate memory the next thing to optimize is the string decimal conversion if the feed isnt binary encoded
That’s quite a bit slower to process. At least if you’re converting to integers to do the calculations and the calculations would be quite a bit slower if you kept the big decimal type
There’s quite a few historical cases of mergers acquisitions being poorly valued aol time warner for example. So maybe v the calculus is different from the execs perspective but it’s not necessarily any better.
I wouldn’t call comparing yourself to Fabrice Ballard and not just saying he’s a better programmer modest.
I don’t know like chess engines didn’t kill chess. You could just play with people that don’t use the “engine”
Not if it drives up energy prices and makes other businesses that employ more people less competitive. Not saying that is the case but it’s certainly not a given
Some of the utilization comparisons are interesting, but the article says 2 trillion was spent on laying fiber but that seems suspicious.
The whole point is that the outages happened not that the ai code caused them. If ai is so useful/amazing then these outages should be less common not more. It’s obviously not rock solid evidence. Yeah ai could be…
If there is really amazing stuff happening with this technology how did we have two recent major outages that were cause by embarrassing problems? I would guess that at least in the cloud flare instance some of the…
I think he could have been instrumental to the iphone (not saying he was or wasn't) and whatever he tries next is a complete flop. The ability to be successful is contextual, and great artists can produce mediocre art.

Is there a public generic measure of IT outages with historical data. Severe outages seem to be more common lately, but I don't have any data to back it up.
value doesn't have to be monetary
Interesting that there's only the m5 on the macbook pro. I thought the m4 and m4 pro/max were at the same time on the macbook pro
Thanks for the write up. Seems like a cool pattern I hadn’t heard of before
that is an interesting use case, I hadn't thought about a setup like this with a local redis cache before. Is it the typical advantages of using a db over a filesystem the reason to use redis instead of just reading…
Strange unit of measurement. Who would find that more useful than expected compute or even just the number of chips.
Ah interesting, I was just curious. I’ve wasted some time setting up ci runners stuff on bare metal servers just because I’ve heard runners from gitlab/github can be expensive
That makes sense. Maybe it’s easier in an organization/ some people’s mental model to put guards around changing database because it’s separate from the code, standard across many organizations and in my opinion just…
I wouldn’t think gpt5 is any better than the previous chat gpt. I know it’s a silly example but I was trying to trip it up with the 8.6-8.11 and it got it right .49 but then it said the opposite of 8.6 - 8.12 was -.21.…
