Grok 4.6

Researchers moving between companies (and other ways that techniques get leaked) is the largest cause of this IMO. It's happening continuously, so I don't see why the timing makes it implausible. A really underrated strength of Silicon Valley is California's ban on non-competes that allows this to happen and ensures robust competition between model providers both for talent (increasing salaries for workers) and in the marketplace (reducing prices for consumers). If OpenAI had been located in New York instead then Anthropic could never have succeeded, for example. But I think the other reason you didn't mention is the timing of new compute coming online. Compute is the major factor limiting the training of these models and new datacenter investments are bearing fruit at around the same tim…

Grok 4.6

I didn't mean that - I meant that when, for example, Anthropic started, then later finished their Mythos/Fable pre-training run that people at OpenAI and elsewhere would have heard about it, probably knew some details such as the size of the model etc - people from these companies go out and socialize with each other, attend parties, share houses ... So, it's not coincidence when they respond to each others models with something roughly equivalent - because they know what each other are working on.

Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index

Yeah, even without the resets, chatgpt subscription currently goes quite a bit further than an equivalent anthropic plan. The main reason to have an anthropic plan is to get access to Fable 5 if you feel the quality of output makes it worth it.

Delphi 13 Community Edition Is Now Available

I really find it mind blowing nothing else from what I've seen has really replicated it. Qt does an alright job but everything just seems to take 50% more effort to get it do the same.

OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining

I guess that's a logically coherent way of viewing it, but to me, that stretches the definition of "value" to be almost tautological; it's essentially saying "companies are founded to do the things that the people who found them want them to do".

The Human Is the Loop

> Prose? Don't care, I'm not writing literature, I'm delivering a message. If AI helps that be more clear and faster, great. What you've probably just never noticed is that voice is a critical part of communication in written form just as much as in speech. And this is especially true when communicating in a crowded public environment like the internet. Voice helps the receiver cohere your message as a distinct signal to pay attention to and draws it out from the noise of competing communication in their day, on their screen, etc. It helps them hear you -- and what you mean to say -- in your prose. It also gives the receiver subtle but meaningful insight into where you're thoughts are coming from culturally, experientially, and ideologically as your voice leaks that background informat…

Compression is prediction

They're also way more robust distributed systems. Imagine a compute substrate that was continuously mutating, dying, regenerating, cancering, being polluted by various environmental and self-generated contaminants (e.g. alcohol, adrenaline) yet all the while still able to function as a coherent whole. I think this is sort of the pipe dream of the Internet as a system that is robust under strategic nuclear attack. But us meatbags actually do it.

Mars Bar from 1991 found – and it's 20g bigger than today's

> So no, OP used the correct definition and no wide spread usage uses ~Q=>~P. That's a weird logical formulation that was randomly concocted. No, most logically coherent usage of that phrase absolutely does reflect ~Q=>~P, which was not "randomly concocted", but was rather was determined via logical reasoning. > Rule: It's hard to find a product that hasn't gotten worse or more expensive, even adjusted for inflation. > Exception: computers i think are more affordable now than even 20 years ago, in bang for buck > This proves the rule because if it's an exception to the rule, therefore the rule must exist in the first place. No, a standalone claim that contradicts the premise of a previously claimed general rule does not "prove" that original claim. If I say "it hasn't ra…

LinkedIn CringeBot 3000

In my case it was interesting to note that the same prompt with different "Cringe Style" uses the exact same food analogy for a topic of tube amp superiority. Vulnerability: > Digital modeling amps are the Bluetooth earbuds of guitar amplification. Technically impressive. Completely missing the point. A Kemper can model a 1959 Plexi the way a photograph can model a meal. Truth To Power: > A modeling amp will simulate 47 vintage amplifiers and nail exactly none of them. It is a photograph of food. It looks correct. You cannot eat it. Another anecdote supporting the opinion that gluing the words in coherent paragraphs can hide the shallowness of the conceptual grasp behind it pretty well. PS: Had to override the JS to lift the limit a bit to paste the whole "crystal lattice" quote by …

DARPA heavy lift challenge ends with winner at a 3.84:1 payload to weight ratio

I imagine they're expanding a bunch of notes and reports and research into an article, whose total size is not that much bigger than the "meat" of the inputs. The annoying LLM fluff is largely when someone is trying to inflate some simple information in size by an order of magnitude, e.g. turning three bullet points into an article. If you have enough of actual content to furnish an article, well, LLMs are excellent at restyling that into coherent prose.

llama.cpp

This MacOS app used to be called LlamaBarn. Really excellent to see the fast progress being made. Official repo, also has documentation how to configure server parameters: https://github.com/ggml-org/Llama-macOS Small tip, install llama.cpp with brew before llama.app, which will pick up the existing llama.cpp. That way it's easier to stay up to date with llama.cpp, since llama.app is on a slower release cadence. Also, models installed with the hugging face CLI (hf) are picked up by llama.app automatically. The CLI will keep the model cache updated, e.g. when models get updated. Llama.cpp became part of Huggingface recently.

Show HN: Tamron Lens Utility Alternative on Linux

New Tamron lenses have built-in usb-c port close to the lens mount. The utility just replicates what official Windows/Mac software does - not much, configuration of focus-by-wire, corrections, button functions.

llama.cpp

llama.cpp is like the ffmepg of AI, and one of the reasons I so greatly dislike ollama is that the latter completely obfuscates that they're a rebrand of the former. Georgi Gerganov and team did all the hard work; ollama is langchain-like VC-bait with a HF download wrapper.

Dropbox is an obvious PE Target?

Sad. I still use Dropbox personally and really like their use experience, but I just don't find enough use for it to pay for a service like that. The technology proved to be far too easy to replicate and they failed to build anything that would make users stick around, I guess. Maybe moving to workspace collaboration solution like Google docs was the play? As much as I hate it, capturing users and building a walled garden seems to be the only way to make it really big.

Gemini becomes Google's fastest-growing product ever as it hits 1B users

Yesterday I read that they sold a lot of TPUs to Anthropic as well as renting them out. This is odd, because I've constantly had issues with Google LLMs not having enough resources. Except for AI suggestions in Search, these work reliably.

Oh this looks very interesting, both for personal and work; I’ve been looking for something similar for quite a while. However, no OpenAI API support (just Anthropic + openai.com) means I can’t use it for either.
