It should burn N + len(answer), because you have to re-cache the whole answer without the prompt stack. Perhaps more persnickety, it pushes the LLM out of distribution - if it’s unnatural for it to write in plain…
“Users are the product” is a phrase used when the users aren’t the ones paying for a free service. For a paid API the users absolutely are the customers.
Impossible in fact, because there are 4 of them and you can’t repeat numbers
I agree an academic research program wouldn’t spend billions on a datacenter, but that’s just a reason why foss AI as described in this article won’t work - because big compute is required to do anything of real…
FOSS is the wrong analogy. Building frontier LLMs isn’t primarily an engineering discipline, it’s a scientific research program. Of course we do have basically open source research programs, including most universities…
They are definitely doing this to build RL environments. Absolutely heinous.
Very interesting! I honestly would have expected the opposite: I was optimistic about strongly functional languages in the age of AI. The more modular and side-effect-free your code is, the easier it should be to…
> A total of €13.5 million has been allocated to the project. > This public investment underlines the importance of an independent, trustworthy and future‑proof Dutch language model. It does, but not in the way you…
The next Jonathan Blow is going to be massively empowered by their tools and make something wonderful. Having fewer people involved can lead to a more focused execution of their vision - most amazing indie games are…
I love the concept - blocking apps are often too restrictive which makes me disable them. Slowing could be a nice alternative. This probably uses a vpn? It’s important to think about how to stop me disabling it…
Agreed - they dont even need to send an employee to do it, they can just send a driverless waymo with the luggage surely!
A decade ago I gave a presentation on automata theory. I demonstrated writing arbitrary symbols to tape with greek letters, just like I’d learned at university. The audience was pretty confused and didn’t really grok…
Well this is incredibly joyful, well done.

That’s… not how the labour market works
Happy new year from SF. 2025 was about hanging on, balancing a heavy workload and a new baby, but in ways which I’m confident are the right decisions for our future. I did a lot of Becoming An Adult this year, learning…
The conceit here is that it’s the bot itself writing the thankyou letter. Not pretending it’s from a human. The source is an environment running an LLM on loop and doing stuff it decides to do, looks like these letters…
Not easy, but I have a friend who did this by reaching back out to his old professors and colleagues, figuring out what they needed, and ended up doing a swe project in his old lab and built that into a consultancy…
Based on this article alone, I can believe this is a good thing. The US military suffers incredibly from its monopsony position and without a doubt will get a heavy wakeup call (read: dead young people) next time it has…
Why doesn’t the government put Cloudflare or something in front of their site?
Oh I was hoping for this but with real birds in my neighborhood. Still neat!
Not taking away at all from the message, but: there's something funny about a freehand MSPaint extrapolation appearing in a post about econ PHDs :)
This is great. Watch them take the data down in 3, 2, 1... Until then I'd love to see trails of where the traffic enforcers have been on the main map, it would make the map more engaging.
It’s funny, I immediately thought it was LLM but I was fairly confident it was ChatGPT. I suppose the styles are converging more than I thought: too long, lists, “not just x it’s y”, “here’s the X”…
