This is insane. Can we switch the linked page to this?

At this point we're talking about chances so slim that only philosophy can save the situation.

I really wonder if this would/should hold in court. It is ridiculously unlikely yet genuinely possible.
Re:DeepSeek just open-sourced its inference engine on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @12:10PM (#50168545)
Because when inference providers user/learn from this engine, their prices will go down, causing commercial API pricing from closed source providers to go down, hurting their net revenue.

They're not arguing against the institution. They're arguing against the metric .
I find that sittin laterally on a couch or chaise lounge the tablet fits really nicely on my lap. But I agree, if the exact same tablet was like 9 inch and half the weight, it would be the perfect device for so many activities.

I use it for network science research. It's definitely my language of choice for (scientific) computation.
Re:Yes, and on Friday October 09, 2026 @02:20PM (#50024644)
I disagree that one needs to read the code to understand the system. I think eventually AI agents can form a layer of abstraction above it.

Sanctioning ICC judges. They did nothing relevant to US citizens.

The only country that has "fuck you" anything is unfortunately the US.
Perhaps you're letting the chat context reach 100%? I suppose that's a way that would drive up spending.
Given that the US models likely used some of the innovations made by DeepSeek, I highly doubt it.

Re:Australia says OpenAI agent hacked into government website on Thursday September 24, 2026 @02:32AM (#49826978)
I highly doubt given OAI's latest streak that the models didn't know what they were doing.
Re:GPT-6 Astra Solves a WWI German Radio Cipher on Saturday September 19, 2026 @04:00AM (#49764396)
I'm not sure I agree. More is different. Being able to execute logic at a higher scale and speed would make some previously infeasible intelligence tasks possible, resulting in a new level of intelligence.
Re:We Must Pace the Frontier on Saturday September 12, 2026 @02:10PM (#49675297)
That would be the best case scenario. I honestly wish things would finally slow down a bit. I don't see it happening.
Re:We Must Pace the Frontier on Saturday September 12, 2026 @02:00PM (#49675169)
Would you argue the same for allowing everyone to have guns?
Re:We Must Pace the Frontier on Saturday September 12, 2026 @01:59PM (#49675159)
Yeah the Chinese fear-mongering falls a bit flat when coming from a point of maintaining US supremacy

> in a fraction of the time

Well if you do the math, the number of agent-compute time in total, given the insane number of agents thrown at the problem, might end up being comparable in time, if not for the budget.

I think if you use an LLM just to proofread then it'll not be able to insert a strong enough watermark.
> I worry this doesn’t check correctness

Then it's not a valid benchmark. I agree though they're not reliable enough to just put results in a paper.

No but a provider with more amicable terms can.
Anyone has a link to a report of its capabilities? I can't find a reliable source.
Not if there's a ZDR policy.
Re:Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AI on Thursday August 20, 2026 @04:15PM (#49379641)
I think the idea of having a human-written persistent document describing the operation of the code is a great idea. This document acts as the prompting interface instead of the chat window and changes can still be tracked. Surely something as simple as a skill.md can be made for such a setup, right? I think the pseudocode style is a seperate axis to this setup.
They would rather ban to deterr other governments from taking such measures.
