osti··on Claude Opus 4.6
Somehow regresses on SWE bench?
osti··on New York to require social media platforms to display mental health warnings
Social "science" be social science.
osti··on Assetto Corsa Rally
I saw many complaints about assetto corsa evo early access about the slow pace of development after EA release. So I'm not sure if I wanna "beta test" this one.
osti··on USA gives South Korea green light to build nuclear submarines
That's why reading comments about geopolitics on the Internet is largely useless. Big news! A country's population supports its own country on international stage! If you go on Chinese social media, it'll be mostly about how awful the Americans are, and vice versa if you are on Reddit for example. So what is even the point of reading them, anywhere..
osti··on Bull markets make you feel smarter than you are
Look at IXUS or VEU for example, in the past 5-10 years, or even longer, they have significantly underperformed US indices.
osti··on Bull markets make you feel smarter than you are
Yeah, and those have underpermed historically and it's definitely not recommended by most people.

That's the biggest problem I have with the recommendation to buy indices as if indices grow at >8% annually is an natural law.

Many (most) indices of countries in the world performed way less than 8%. US performed exceptionally well over almost a century so people are starting to take it as a natural law. If I buy US index, I'm still putting a directional bet on US stock market performing at an exceptional rate.

osti··on Kimi K2 Thinking, a SOTA open-source trillion-parameter reasoning model
I wouldn't say that, but just that qwen 3 max thinking definitely underperforms relative to its size.
osti··on Kimi K2 Thinking, a SOTA open-source trillion-parameter reasoning model
Qwen 3 max has been getting rather bad reviews around the web (both on reddit and chinese social media), and from my own experience with it. So I wouldn't expect this to be worse.
osti··on iPhone 17 chip becomes the fastest single-core CPU in the world on PassMark
Apple chips are fastest in single core in most benchmarks, not just passmark.
osti··on ICPC 2025 World Finals Results
What do you mean by imaginary patterns from Codeforces?
osti··on Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?
This kinda tracks with the latest estimate of power usage of llm inference published by google https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44972808. If inference isnt that power hungry like people thought, they must be able to make good money from those subscriptions.
osti··on Claim: GPT-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics
In here https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-2-5-deep-think/, the professor google worked with also claimed proving some previously unproven conjecture.
osti··on GPT-5
It kinda is, at least I'd say a rich person is on average more intelligent than a poor person.
osti··on Meta's Vision for Superintelligence
Looks like no more open source models :(

"We believe the benefits of superintelligence should be shared with the world as broadly as possible. That said, superintelligence will raise novel safety concerns. We'll need to be rigorous about mitigating these risks and careful about what we choose to open source. Still, we believe that building a free society requires that we aim to empower people as much as possible."

For the coding benchmarks, does anyone know what are OJBench and CFEval?
osti··on A diverse cast of rocky worlds around a small star revealed by astronomers
Is it time to send Matt Damon?
osti··on Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world
Yes, but with a 400B parameter model, at fp16 it's 800GB right? So with 800GB/s memory bandwidth, you'd still only be able to bring them in once per second.

Edit: actually forgot the MoE part, so that makes sense.

osti··on Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world
Interesting, so with enough memory bandwidth, even the server CPU has enough compute to do inference on a rather large model? Enough to compete against M4 gpu?

Edit: I just aked chatgpt and it says with no memory bandwidth bottleneck, i can still only achieve around 1 token/s from a 96 core cpu.

osti··on Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world
How? These don't even have GPU's right?
osti··on Gemini with Deep Think achieves gold-medal standard at the IMO
True, but openai definitely isn't trying to do public research on science, they are all about money now.
osti··on Gemini with Deep Think achieves gold-medal standard at the IMO
The proofs also seem more human reable than openai's?
osti··on Gemini with Deep Think achieves gold-medal standard at the IMO
I think this is them not being confident enough before the event, so they don't wanna be shown a worse result than competitors. By being private they can obviously not publish anything if it didn't work out.
osti··on H-1B program grew 81 percent from 2011 to 2022
"Note that I'm also an immigrant."

This sentence doesn't really help your statement, it just makes you a gatekeeper.

osti··on LLM Inevitabilism
If you are seriously equating these two with AI, then you have horrible judgements and should learn to think critically, but unfortunately for you, I don't think critical thinking can be learned despite what people say.

Note that I'm not even going to bother arguing against your point and instead resort to personal attacks,because I believe it would be a waste of time to argue against people with poor judgment.

osti··on U.S. will review social media for foreign student visa applications
What I don't get is, education is one of US's big "exports", and basically easy money; so why try to kneecap that revenue stream?
osti··on My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
I bet they did at one point in time, then they stopped doing that, but still not bug free.
osti··on China's Huawei Develops New AI Chip, Seeking to Match Nvidia
Funny how as a Chinese, I told my Canadian friend that I'd bet on one of the Chinese companies catching up to Nvidia (at least partly) before AMD or Intel.
osti··on Google contract prevented Motorola from setting Perplexity as default assistant
As opposed to bow down to Apple and oh, still can't make an iOS phone?
