I have never had a problem with kiwi skins (except when the kiwi is unripe; a natural mat with acids and possibly oxalate. NOPE). But are you claiming you eat the whole fruit, or you throw out the tiny thorn?
I don't get your point. The planet will not realistically run out of either. The water price goes up, then soler + desal becomes more cost effective, then people get to use the material that covers 75% of the planet's…
My personal opinions (not necessarily reflecting my company's): 1. Free-form capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with AI. In other words, competent AI brings a free-form (low regulation) capitalistic environment to…
Like taalas.com (very recently acquired by AMD), or cerebras.ai (whole wafer is a chip)? As you said, I also think that is one of the main direction many companies (and academia) is moving to.
To me, the legal concerns seem blown out of proportion. If you use open weight models (of dubious origin) to generate code, you can still verify them with code review and tests and other methods, used to verify human…
That would only be a minor marker. A major marker would be whatever the Chinese equivalent(s) of Amazon are (Alibaba? etc.) going that route successfully. From academic / industrial conference presentations it appears…
Haha, darn it, you threw me into a rabbit hole. I hooked M-x doctor to an LLM, and the funniest thing happened. The little piece of sh*t kept pretending to be emacs's own eliza / doctor. It took like 5-6 turns to…
This year, the migration projects I have worked on were some of the most fun. Migrations have changed from the death-by-1000-cuts that they were, to the which-AI-method-to-best-ensure-100%-fidelity. So, I don't believe…
Compute In Memory has been most of what electronics research (more accurately, the parts I am interacting with) talking about this year. There are a few trends and I am curious to see which ones survive in the market.…
I haven't been directly involved with any large company CEOs, but the CEOs of smaller companies I have worked with have frequently been constantly dealing with responsibilities from many decisions they took (or didn't…
True, I have seen that happen many times. When I want short answers, I always clarify that (e.g., give me short technical answer without pleasantries). I'm often okay if the answer is longer but not hiding the real…
I often compose prompts from various sources (my "AGENTS.md", "CURRENT_TASK", "CURRENT_PHASE", ...). Last year I was composing in markdown and that got very tedious very quickly. I tried various text and text-like…
I am still not getting the point or we are talking past each other. When I am providing information for humans, I CAN go with semantic HTML (that 9kB Markdown becoming maybe 10KB semantic HTML). I can also go with…
I found HTML itself works [slightly] better with some LLMs (that I happen to frequent). So, when scraping, I parse the resulting html, simplify it, and produce simpler html contents (closer to semantics of what I…
We are comparing different things. I am comparing expressing information in semantic HTML or in Markdown. HTML doesn't bloat it much, and it is easier to work with (programmatically in python, ts, go, java, etc.;…
I am not sure if that is the main value add. I have repeatedly heard that taking responsibility and being on the hook for the decisions (even if AI hands you the decision and all the research and homework that went into…
Aah, I thought we are talking about prompting or providing information to AI agents in either html or md form, and comparing the two. Assuming that is what we are talking about, HTML is easier to work with than…
No, it's just that I wasn't very clear. HTML I can view in any browser / webview / etc. Good markdown viewers are fewer / more special, or end up translating md to html for display. And by composing, I didn't mean…
Is that even true? I most often use HTML. HTML is about 5%-20% more tokens than a similar Markdown. As a rule of thumb, the number of tags/structural tokens doubles, when going from markdown to html, while the rest…
Accurate short answers / text are always harder than long answers, for human or AI. I know several authors and editors who write a lot longer at first, then spend a multiple of the initial time compressing it via a back…
If that is confusing to you, you are probably not ready for politics :-) Politicians act with hypocrisy or twisted plans (where the most straightforward conclusion is not necessarily the truth) all the time. Random…
This has been one of the billion(s) dollar questions of 2026. There have been a few approaches emerging throughout the year (heuristics to hard-divide work, using better languages with dependable contracts, task…
I mildly disagree. You still have to validate what the browser gives you. The user could have edited the "strong contract" using browser dev tools. So, let the user type, then validate in javascript if you want instant…
The theory is trivial for anyone with a Number Theory background. That's not the point. Picking a good and interesting problem and going all the way to an elegant optimal solution, AND presenting it well, is all that…
...didn't have the vocabulary... That is exactly the key or the sign there. Even with a couple of decades of engineering expertise, when I try to do / research something that I don't know enough about, I find myself in…
