blovescoffee··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
there are still competitive market forces for co's post IPO
blovescoffee··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
1. you can have luna clean up after itself and improve code 2. you might be doing something like video-editing, cad modeling, artistic direction, pcb routing, etc. that need to run a long time to "converge"
blovescoffee··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
and to squeeze anthropic, and other research innovations, not just chinese models but those help bring price down
blovescoffee··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
cost is dominated by non cached reads
blovescoffee··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
It wasn't really used enough and it sat in an awkward middle space between luna and sol where either luna high/xhigh or sol med were better cost/perf wise
blovescoffee··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
It's before and after following the arrow. 6 is the cheaper one.
blovescoffee··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Of course they'd charge more if they could... Of course they're pricing to outcompete their competitor...
blovescoffee··on Samsung is expected to more than double output of its HBM4 and HBM4E DRAM
how would you even derive that conclusion from the headline/article?
blovescoffee··on Israeli Minister Threatens Filmmakers' Citizenship over Gaza Documentary
There are plenty of Jews that support Zionism and consider themselves Zionists that live in NY. You’re speaking from ignorance.
blovescoffee··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
Great tech but the voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me
blovescoffee··on METR Report on OpenAI / Hugging Face Hacking Incident
Did you read any of it? The investigators call this out
blovescoffee··on Uber shuts operations in Nigeria and Uganda with immediate effect
One anecdote for a datapoint: Not sure if it's better now but I've lost a phone in an InDrive and I've lost an expensive bag in an Uber and it was significantly easier and less sketchy to get the bag back. I'm not a price sensitive rider so the insurance of a reputable 'comfort' tier Uber driver paid off. The InDrive driver made me get another ride to him then demanded $1000mxn (~$55usd) to return my phone. The Uber app had me pay ~$250mxn if I remember correctly and the driver promptly returned the bag.
blovescoffee··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
The laws should produce friction but the right friction in the right places. There are too many arbitrary and difficult processes in the US immigration system that keep great people out of the US.

TPUs and ASICs run in data centers too. Your argument only holds true if there's some satisfied limit to demand for inference. If not, data centers will continue to spring up to host more and more agents. Even if agents were running on hardware and software as efficient as the human brain, its conceivable we want trillions of them running at any given time which would require data center scale.
blovescoffee··on Qwen3.8 27B scores 52 on Artificial Analysis
they didn't plateau, the hardware was effectively saturated and it wasn't until later in 2026 that newer hardware came online to provide enough capacity to keep scaling up the models efficiently
blovescoffee··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
As a company... but that includes things like research costs, model training etc. to determine if they're selling electricity at a loss you should look at inference costs bc that's the "thing" they're selling
blovescoffee··on AI has access to a vastly larger working memory than the human brain
what is it?
blovescoffee··on The Conceptual Reasoning Index
The underlying idea is that AI capabilities will become so advanced that only AI will enable us to monitor/correct/understand behavior. Obviously this is not without issue and I don't want to try to defend their position right now. But that's what they mean
blovescoffee··on HTML over WebSockets: real-time SPAs with barely any JavaScript
You can drop react into an html page with a script tag. You don't need a build step. The build step is only requisite if you'd like the full benefits of react, which personally I find worth it. Cached builds are quite fast. All build steps/compilers/etc. exist to add some devex upgrade on top of some lighter-weight thing that many devs find useful.

a 15% improvement at a trillion dollar scale company is massive
blovescoffee··on How Olinia Turns Mexico's EV Ambition into Reality
mexican presidents serve a single term... I'm sure you mean well but you have lot of reading to do about mexican politics :)
blovescoffee··on How Olinia Turns Mexico's EV Ambition into Reality
no... Mexico is in north america

and if you follow Mexican politics, her politics are almost entirely a continuation of the last president who was her political mentor so it's reasonably well understood what trajectory her term is on

blovescoffee··on Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6
it's kind of hard to save a company billions in operating costs via software without it being part of Silicon Valley (culture)...
blovescoffee··on Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6
Absolutely true although at some point it's not just raw numbers but also the kernels that run matmuls and there seems (from outsider perspective) to have been more optimization in the cuda kernels
blovescoffee··on Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6
what do you mean "if"? of course we will, and the models will be smarter as well
blovescoffee··on How Olinia Turns Mexico's EV Ambition into Reality
Thank you. Not to go against site rules and veer into meta-discussion on other posters but it strikes me as very odd that a foreigner is just repeating govt propaganda to people who live here.

More insidiously this infra work is being used by Morena to further militarize Mexico. The military is everywhere in this country and its power and reach continue to grow.
blovescoffee··on How Olinia Turns Mexico's EV Ambition into Reality
Not to make a weak appeal to authority but have you spent much time in Mexico and much time speaking with locals? Those initiative are widely viewed as either failures, DOA, or political chips to appeal to the Morena base (which even then fails).

Very very few taxi drivers in Mexico are financing a $9000 sedan. They're mostly driving some taxi service's car and paying the service for the car or they're paying cash for a used and much cheaper car. $9000 is a lot of money for a taxi driver in Mexico.
blovescoffee··on How Olinia Turns Mexico's EV Ambition into Reality
This is going to go absolutely nowhere. There's really no market for these and the govt. would rather focus on something flashy like a new car instead of infrastructure or anything that could threaten Pemex (god forbid...)
