It was definitely AI-written. Has all of the usual cadence, "impact sentences", and pacing quirks. Pangram has it at 96% AI.

That's not necessarily incompatible. The raw output could come from RL rollouts where the model learnt from the process of solving these problems.

This work is/was a community endeavour, and if you're unpleasant, people will route around you. My sympathy ends because this isn't just an AI problem, it's an interpersonal problem.
The parent poster was talking about the amount of data transfer you could do on dialup over a month in 1996.

I wanted to be sympathetic to someone watching their hobby and source of income disappear, but I'm finding it quite difficult to do so when they're this smarmy and unpleasant. I would not want to involve this person in any of my endeavours, either.

One step closer to bringing the Rust experience to Python. Good.

Looks like this post's using "3T-class", which I think I've seen them use before.

Are we sure this is a new pretrain and not them rounding up 2.8T?

Eh, not necessarily, many of the RL vendors sell to Chinese labs, too: https://www.interconnects.ai/p/glm-53-how-chinese-labs-keep-...

Huh? It is remarkably open and the policies are not really an issue.

I suspect that the additional friction in doing these things in Rust is still largely outweighed by everything else. I won't deny the friction - it's definitely there - but it has never been large enough for me to consider using anything else (especially reverting to C++!)

With that being said, I did write a compiler to specifically help me match C++ memory layouts in Rust [0], so I might be an outlier case :-)

For more detail: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/type-layout.html#r-layou...

I can confirm that this has been sufficient for all of my memory layout needs, including interfacing with existing C/C++ code in memory.

This is of interest to me, but I have no idea why you'd set `height: 720px`. I had to turn that off to make it readable.

They weren't paying frontier rates. They had frontier-level staff to train their own bespoke, hyper-optimised[0] LLMs until they didn't.

It's a bit silly to write an article like this without mentioning the company was hollowed out by Google in 2024.

It is difficult to make a company in a fast-growing sector work when all of your technical staff and leadership are working for Google, and your remaining staff can see the writing on the wall and are checking out.

Lack of focus can kill you, too. OpenAI learnt this the hard way: https://www.wired.com/story/openai-shuts-down-sora-ipo-ai-su...
