hrn_frson Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War

Historically speaking, he's right. China has never had an expansionist foreign policy.

hrn_frson How Taalas “prints” LLM onto a chip?

> I'm curious why this isn't getting much attention from larger companies.

Time is money and when you're competing with multiple companies with little margin for error you'll focus all your effort into releasing things quickly.

This chip is "only" a performance boost. It will unlock a lot of potential, but startups can't divide their attention like this. Big companies like google are surely already investigating this venue, but they might lack hardware expertise.

hrn_frson Experts Have World Models. LLMs Have Word Models

That's correct, but if successful you'd essentially have updated the LLM's knowledge and capabilities "on the fly".

hrn_frson Experts Have World Models. LLMs Have Word Models

Any attempt at world modeling using today's LLMs needs to have a goal function for the LLM to optimize. The LLM needs to build, evaluate and update it's model of the world. Personally, the main obstacle I found is in updating the model: Data can be large and I think that LLMs aren't good at finding correlations.

hrn_frson Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)

Hi tim.

From talking to the hiring bot (cool tool!), It seems there's a list of countries that Posthog can't hire from for different reasons. If it's ok with you, I'd like to know if this list is up to date.

And for me specifically, I live in Argentina and some weeks ago I sent an application but I think that the resume might have been a bit hard to follow (I now updated it). Is it OK to re-send the application or are decisions for the same role final?

Thank you. Have a great day.
