MattRix··on Carney's Bid to Make Canada an 'Associate Member' of the EU
*americans

(sorry just noticed the typo now lol)

MattRix··on Carney's Bid to Make Canada an 'Associate Member' of the EU
As a fellow Canadian I think you have a misunderstanding of what’s at stake here. There is potential to lose tens of thousands of jobs by agreeing to the bad deal the american’s proposed.
MattRix··on iPhone Duo
This is the first comment that showed for me, and it’s pretty useless. I don’t think it’s much better than the kind of comments you’re complaining about.
MattRix··on Sydney Marathon medal mistakenly depicts Munich stadium
The race has nothing to do with the stadium, other than running past it. They don’t have to get permission from anyone. Also, there’s no evidence that AI was involved, it could have just as easily been some designer googling for “Allianz Stadium” and illustrating the first thing that came up.
MattRix··on The August 17 outage
I have some big issues with this technology and the companies behind it, but I know of quite a few people personally who were not previously coders but have now been able to use LLMs to make their own custom software, solving real problems they had.
MattRix··on Codex Security
unfortunate typo lol
MattRix··on OpenAI reduces Codex Model Context Size from 372k to 272k
If you want stuff to be referenced regularly, why are you doing it in the conversation instead of just putting the documents in the directory and referring to them in AGENTS.md or whatever?
MattRix··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
This is a very long document that says nothing about chunking at first skim. If chunking is actually wrong, then just explain why, here. Wasting space is not actually a problem if it’s optimized for other purposes instead.
MattRix··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
I mean you wanted something objective, and they are. I don’t know why you’re being dismissive of them, they’re a huge element of what drives model development forward.

These companies aren’t just making stuff up, they really do want to improve the models, and the models really are improving.

MattRix··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
Yep, and the majority of them are children. It’s so horrific that it deserves to be brought up any time Musk is mentioned for the rest of his life.
MattRix··on Anthropic's Safety Superpower
Come on, these conspiracy theories make no sense, Anthropic isn’t even a publicly traded company.
MattRix··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
There are objective metrics, that’s what benchmarks are.
MattRix··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
The idea that progress is “slow” in the AI space is absurd. These are some of the fastest growing products and companies of all time. The models are still improving a surprising amount.
MattRix··on Anthropic's Safety Superpower
If you’re implying that the government is in on it and is doing this stuff intentionally in order to boost Anthropic, that’s ridiculous.
MattRix··on How to earn a billion dollars
Except he says nothing about the system, he only talks about the founder.
MattRix··on SpaceX's president is floating a Tesla merger as the company begins trading
That’s the stock, which has very little relation to how the company itself is doing, especially in Tesla’s case!
MattRix··on SpaceX's president is floating a Tesla merger as the company begins trading
no, that’s Nasdaq not S&P
MattRix··on SpaceX's president is floating a Tesla merger as the company begins trading
yup, and elon hinted at it in podcast interviews during the past year as well
MattRix··on WoofWare.PawPrint, a Deterministic .NET Runtime
I mean maybe I’m missing the point but it seems like it’s intended to be more of a tool for debugging race conditions, than a runtime you actually ship with. For that purpose I think using an LLM is fine.
MattRix··on Let's celebrate work that is 100% human-made
Do you think it would be a good thing if all music (for example) was made with AI and not by humans? What a lot of people in tech right now don’t seem to get is that art is about how it transforms the artist, not just the final product.
MattRix··on I put a datacenter GPU in my gaming PC
Yes, but input is usually what people are talking about since that is the vast majority of token usage.
MattRix··on I found a seashell in the middle of the desert
Yeah… that’s the point I was making.
MattRix··on I put a datacenter GPU in my gaming PC
Opus is normally $5 per mtok, no idea why anyone would use /fast if they were at all concerned about price. ($5 is still pricy though tbh)
MattRix··on Dav2d
Yes? There is 5x more code to optimize the ASM for.
MattRix··on I found a seashell in the middle of the desert
Ok and now where is the source code for the tool?
MattRix··on I found a seashell in the middle of the desert
It’s obvious you’re not an expert at the topic because we can all read the original article and then read your posts in this thread…
MattRix··on I made a million dollar product from my dorm room (2025)
If it didn’t have the clickbaity title you probably would have never known the article existed.
MattRix··on We're testing new ad formats in Search and expanding our Direct Offers pilot
Ok but using adblock isn’t switching platforms. It doesn’t inconvenience the user at all, and there are no negative network effects.
MattRix··on BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork
Oh please, they deserve shaming. This is a great use of social media. Put the facts out there as you see them. No need to sue or have a call to action.
MattRix··on On The <dl> (2021)
