And when you see the reactions in the HN comment to the original article, it's pretty clear that most people have indeed been mislead.
It's fair to say that this is malpractice.
Where have you seen a trillion dollar IPO from a cult?
I haven't wrapped my head around 5 and 6 so maybe these are a bigger deal, but 1,2 and 3 are trivial. And the author's writing about 7 and 8 (which show that 7 is just directional ablation and nothing more) really doesn't inspire confidence in the paper as a whole.
But it's not what's happening here at all! Read the thing in detail and you'll see that it's not doing anything alien, it does exactly what you (or at least someone with at least some knowledge abouy neural nets) would do if you were asked to perform the task. It doesn't reason about weights in a magical way, instead it reads the easy to interpret parts or use directional ablation to tweak a model's behavior, exactly like how the ERP folks have been decensoring models to produce adult content over the past two years.
It's an interesting demonstration of ML knowledge and agentic ability, but it's not alien NY any means, and it's not actually surprising given how strong today's models are with agentic work.
FYI there are 4 weeks in a month…
> Recent analysis by industry analysts like Semi Accurate have measured Sol 6.1 on the $200/month plan to be around $2000 of API equivalent use.
Sol isn't an Anthropic product though so maybe OpenAI is less generous than the former, I can't tell.
I don't know where you got that from but the only time I maxed my $20 plan for a week I made the calculation that I had spend close to $200 in a single week. So maxing a $200 plan for a month should give you $8000 worth of token at API price. Obviously it's not $300k but it's still very far from the retail price.
At this point every churches should IPO and raise hundreds of billions from the implied odds that judgment day is near and Paradise becomes the entire economy, that wouldn't be crazier.
It tells you all you need to know about how unserious these people are about computer security.
There's still a very long way to go !
Per token, yes. But per task it's not even necessarily the case depending on how much thinking is needed.
Idk where you got this figure from, but the actual figure are very different from that:
It's 120B over four years for SpaceX alone and 120B for Broadcom over 6 years. These two players, representing less than half of the total commitment, already give you an annual commitment above 50B.
But on the flip side I don't think aiming for 1M businesses spending $40k a month in token in average is going to be more viable. And I'm not sure having 1000 corporations spending $40M a month is a option either.
It's not that Rust or Go aren't used to write new things, it's just that the bar for reaching the HN front page with new things is much higher than for mere copycats.
> No comparison to astra/6.1 sol/fable 5.1/opus 5.5
I mean, should a 27B model beat Fable 5 but not Fable 5.1 that would still be an incredible achievement.
There's plenty of real food that is as heavy and as salted, and as such no healthier, than junk food. But it actually tastes good. (I can't exactly put the finger on what makes an Italian pizza better than a US 7/11 one, but it's not about the former being healthier).
The problem isn't that they look shitty to pixel artists or experts, they look shitty for anyone with a bit of observation.
It's junk art the same way Mc Donald's is junk food.
That only describe a small fraction of hydro power: the majority of hydro in the world is “Run-of-the-river”, which means it has little storage capacity if any.
> Any power-source which can move its production has this feature, independently of renewability.
Not really. For instance, Nuclear gives you the illusion of marginal price because you can think of the cost of the uranium rods, which will be consumed faster or slower depending on your supply, but in practice your maintenance (which are also when the fuel replacement happens) are planned years in advance and are mostly paced by a mix regulatory constraints and staffing needs (your maintenance experts are in limited supply in the country, and you want to keep them busy, so you make sure the maintenance of your park is well ordered with minimal overlaps. Source: my wife makes the long terms plan nuclear maintenance at EDF, here in France).
> This is not just theoretical, it has happened in the European power market.
I know, but this has nothing to do with the question, which is in fact theoretical (“equilibrium prices” are a purely theoretical concept).
> But the equilibrium still exists.
Nope, not in the meaning of this word in the classical model (i.e. the intersection of the marginal cost curve and the demand curve).
What exists is a market price, but it's not the “equilibrium price”, and it cannot be because it doesn't exist in this setting.
Too nice of a way to talk about the Epstein class.
Nome, it only works for fossile-based power, for any other power source (be it hydro, nuclear, solar, geothermal or wind) the marginal cost of supply is zero and all the cost is upfront cost. In that situation, the (classical economics) market equilibrium simply doesn't exist mathematically.
I've read your blog enough times to recognize it instantly, yet it's the first time I notice that you blog header is an animated and interactive 3D demo. Very cool!
