> Anthropic wanted to have rules on how the military used AI

No, they want to have rules on how the military used Anthropic AI.

Military would still be free to use OpenAI for the nasty stuff

Most of these models, both open and closed, are now so over tuned to agentic and coding tasks that they no longer work well for general purpose. Kimi K3 is an exception to that – maybe you need that larger size todo well on a broader range of tasks.

Clearly you don’t read the economist

I wonder about mapping RDF data (like Wikidata) to this. I guess the RDF predicate becomes the edge in your node-edge style of graph.

Because we are depressed by the realization of how stupid we are.

We aren't optimized for smart, for happy, or for truth - we are optimized for getting our genes into the next generation.

It seems wrong that Amazon should get in trouble for this when it was XAI that began this new race to the bottom.

Peoplecheered xAI on and admired how quickly they were able to move, without much regard to the methods or legality. IMO competitors had no choice but to respond in kind when they see XAI not just getting away with it, but also getting a pass on legal issues.

I was with you until there. Qwen and the OpenAI models are great, aggressive agents, but they’re not as good as the anthropic models for human interaction. They just don’t have the subtlety, understanding, or attention to detail.

Wait, are you saying it has dynamic vertical scaling of RAM?

IMO, if you "put a quick note in AGENTS.md" then you should expect a cache miss.

I think that is reasonable and intuitive.

That was the first complaint I came across in the article and it made me question the level of indignation of the whole thing.

Um, the 'codex world' is the OpenAI world and there is a ton of drama and product confusion there!

Anthropic has certainly had some drama inflicted on them by the US administration, but otherwise they have just had heads down and executed with great focus. That is why they have succeeded.

This looks great, but let's see if I have this right ...

The "Agent Apps" (or whatever we are calling them) from the big vendors are organized around projects/folders, and we attach apps (via plugins) to the projects.

This appears to mae the apps (work surfaces) the primary artifact?

I don’t know the specifics of this case, but in Canada, calls like this (all wrapped up in the flag), usually come from Canadian companies hoping for some sort of sole sourced contract that they have no business getting.

So so perhaps we should be excluding American companies at this time, but in the name of competition and openness, we should allow bids from our real allies, such as the Europeans or the Asians.

> Anthropic and OpenAI could fight it in court.

They did exactly that with supply chain risk designation, and look what it got them: the administration simply found another more effective way to punish them.

But these have near instant suspended/resume, and they even have vertical scaling of the ram, which is a great feature that’s not very common.

> This amount of courting the current administration is pretty scary imo.

That’s ironic – I interpreted that paragraph with the opposite slant: positively. If that’s what the government mandates then these companies, in the end, have little choice, so was at least relieved to see them publicly pushing back.

> We don’t believe this kind of government access process should become the long-term default.

Really glad to see some reasonably prominent pushback against this government overreach.

The information has been reporting that the government wants to individually approve which companies get access and when.

Imagine the wonderful opportunities for corruption and influence peddling, not to mention, excluding any companies that don’t support Trump

But there’s no good WYSIWIG markdown editor extension for VS code.

Yes, bun is good locally, but need node support for deployment. So while the bun specific stuff sounds great I feel I need to avoid it.

You are running a binary that you got from the developer. If it presented you with Deno permissions, I think that would be misleading because there’s no guarantee of their integrity.

Can we get better source for this story? I find that website to be unreadable.

I guess you mean it runs automatically at Mac user login, so that it is running all the time.

It seems I need to leave this running for it to work? So it's not just a configuration changes.

I think you’re referring to the short term impacts of AI and he’s thinking more long-term.

Also, AI, even short term, is going to make some people and some countries extremely wealthy, so maybe this isn’t such a bad time to be thinking about those who are still extremely poor and who won’t benefit.

I can't believe that readers of HN actually think that that is how it does or should work.

Google/GCP can only make very general statements and in this case we want more than that.

They need to tell Railway and Railway needs to tell us, or Railway can tell us that Google is refusing to tell them.

Either way, we need to hear about this from Railway.

They can't - that would violate the privacy rights of their customer.

They need to tell Railway and Railway needs to tell us, or Railway can tell us that Google is refusing to tell them.

Either way, we need to hear about this from Railway.

I think we know how this goes ...

Administration officials will insist that this will be bipartisan and just for national security.

Trump will then just come out and say it: that they won't authorize models that provide "fake news" such as him not winning the election by the most votes ever.

There will be a big fuss as people and media point to this as the smoking gun, but then it will turn out that American voters just don't care.

I guess we could learn to appreciate Mistral sooner than expected.

Having it in the hands of public companies or foundations seems preferable to me to having it in the hands of private companies or individuals.

This sounds great, except for one thing: you can scale your compute (CPU & RAM) as needed but your storage appears to scale with it.

So, if I use a "16 vCPUs, 32GB RAM, 400GB SSD" machine for a period of intense compute, and then want to scale that down to "2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM", most of my storage disappears?

That rather ruins the potential of the advertised scalability.

Joplin looks great, and is open source, but it appears to have one problem: the primary data store is SQLite, not files, and in this AI infected era having plain text files on the local filesystem is really important.

So if I am correct the "cloud drive as the storage" option is syncing with a the local SQLite db and to get local files one would need to be syncing the local db with both the cloud drive and the local filesystem.

With Obsidian I sync from local files direct to a cloud drive.

That would be great! Please do.
