First got a "Could not start playback".

Then I got the music, which promises Unlimited lossless downloads for Pro tier, whereas the text says only 400 per month! Isn't this false advertising?

6thbiton HuggingFace: Security.txt

Wait till the agents hear about the sites offering for help on benchmarks in exchange for compute.

6thbiton OpenAI Agents API

Buried in there, note you can opt to self-host your sandbox

https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents-api/env...

That makes this much more enticing, and potentially eases transition between providers.

6thbiton What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks

If AI becomes a true commodity do you think OpenRouter/Stripe will evolve into this type of network that visa/mastercard represent today?

6thbiton On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem

Any version with a bit more prose for a peasant like me to remotely pretend to grasp it

6thbiton Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf]

They (oAI) should just release all the prompts And internal reasoning for external audits.

6thbiton I've factored the RSA keys of a Certificate Authority from the 90s

So this is why forward secrecy matters eh

6thbiton Cloud in a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to everyone

Running the authoritative dns for the zone seems elegant, although wouldn’t that imply you absolutely can’t use cloudflare or similar services to avoid ddos/bots?

6thbiton Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.2

Why have they not included ARC-Agi-3 on their index?

Clearly that would move things around.

6thbiton GPT-6 Astra

63 cents is quite cheap isn't it? If you compare vs Fable5.1 Max @ a whooping $3.30

6thbiton GPT-6 Astra on OpenRouter

Invoking simonw for pelicans pretty please.

6thbiton OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on ARC-AGI-3

The instant/no reasoning performed extremely well

    none 35.2%, $49,791 96.7%, $23,457

35.2% on the standard harness, that's above Opus 5 on high.

6thbiton Ask HN: Why were OpenAI, Claude, and Grok simultaneously down?

My favourite theory so far.

And then a local swarm noticed and disagreed and took it down.

6thbiton Ask HN: Why were OpenAI, Claude, and Grok simultaneously down?

What's the single point of failure across providers?

6thbiton ChatGPT Is Throwing 404

https://status.openai.com/

Somehow codex shows 100%, so it was only chat web interface?

6thbiton Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1

Even with discounted cache, their prices remain way above everyone else but not necessarily the results.

What exactly is the premium that you're getting for paying these prices?

6thbiton Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1

Huh! Yeah that feels more like an opus5.1 than a fable5.1.

6thbiton GUIs should be fully keyboard-driven

Shortcat.app fills some of this gap.

I still haven't found generic solutions to selecting and copy-pasting text using the keyboard only though, when the text is not in a textbox/area.

I had used a vim-like plugin in firefox that let you do that somewhat, but nothing OS level.

6thbiton The turbulent AI era is here

This would imply public corporations would have to disclose their quarterly token consumption. I wonder the impact of having access to that number publicly among competitors, would it encourage being the greatest spender of showing off how efficient you are with less tokens? Cutting token consumption could be the new layoff-driven stock bump?

That transparency alone could change the market dynamics a lot.

Just hope that as an individual you wouldn't be taxed for this though...

6thbiton OpenAI: GPT 5.6 Sol price reduction (until at least Nov 21)

Same here. Thought Luna was for “moonshots” and sol for.. sunshots? While keeping Terra earthly.

But alas

6thbiton OpenRouter is joining Stripe

This has to be all about cashflow, right?

Surely stripe if anyone have learned to harness the cash flowing through their system. Hell, they could be emitting bonds on expected token consumption bills!

6thbiton The price of a Costco hot dog has gone up

Clickbaity title. The price tag didn’t change and still sits at 1.50.

Shrinkflation is a thing and the bun has been its victim. They could slowly shrink the sausage now until it fits the bun again.

6thbiton Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2

So what Meta believes fair for "paying" for your data is $0.1/Mtok plus the opportunity cost of $3/Mtok in output?

6thbiton Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2

is this their way to push their harness?

people interested in the discounted -contributor model would increase their harness beta testers. But it'd be a terrible strategy to capture the better paying customer base through openrouter and similar...

6thbiton Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2

This is likely an legitimate risk, not from you exactly, but if there's unethical competitors with unlimited budgets, their training could indeed be poisoned.

Not sure if anyone would bother.

6thbiton LLMs reward expertise

So we could run a lighter LLM in front of humans, which translates from 'no domain knowledge' to 'domain expert' and in turn prompts over to the larger LLM.

Then the larger LLM gets all the right lights on, yields better outputs and we translate back into user domain.

I kinda thought the chain-of-thought reasoning already did this, no?

6thbiton Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code

Use it not just as an output tool but as an input as well.

You could try doing the high level design yourself at least. Ask for its review and iterate without asking it to do it all.

Once it has generated some implementation, critique it and ensure you understand its approach And you agree with it, steer it otherwise.

If there’s anything unclear to you say so and have it rewrite it in an easier way to understand.

6thbiton Tailscale didn't stop the Hugging Face intrusion

I've always found tailscale's json config a bit intimidating. I greatly appreciate the new UI that makes it easier to define rules, alas, both going to relevant docs straight from it and determining 'is this rule just lazy/bad/unsafe' is hard and frustrating most of the time.

That's where I'd like to see this sort of checkup. Yell at me please if i just said anyone can ssh as root from any node!

6thbiton Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations

There was no rush for this disclosure on their side. And they publish at a point where they have not yet taken corrective actions:

    > Some of the solutions here may even be simple fixes;

They are still throwing ideas. Why have they not made those simple fixes yet before disclosing?

6thbiton Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations

    > closer to a harness and operational failure than a model alignment failure. Our models were told they had no internet access and to capture the flag, while in fact being misconfigured to have internet access. 
    > This led them to believe—arguably reasonably—that the real environments they encountered were simulations.

That the AI lab most typically preaching for alignment does not consider this an obvious misalignment is a clear red flag.
