Gotta use the Active page so you can see what HN cares about censoring.
So your use of a frontier model is evidence that openai's model hacked hugging face? Just want to make sure I'm following your line of thinking

Your anecdotal story is perfectly representative of all govt entities, surely.

The IRS wanted a full 3d scan of my face to prove identity AFTER I already had a working account used every year for the past 3+ years.

They asked for feedback after I canceled the login, I gave very candid feedback in a form.

Then they asked if I would give an interview.

You know why I wanted to log in? To claim a $7 refund.

They ended up mailing it.

Dropped my Gemini pro sub yesterday, the new quotas make antigravity unusable.
I'm curious why they wouldn't opt for Mac studios -

Smaller size = more efficient cluster layout?

RAM is the only care so skip the beefy studio CPUS and max ram on something cheaper?

Perhaps someone closer to this space could illuminate me

Which rights, you may ask?

Don't worry, Palantir will decide for you

I REALLY struggle with Gemini 3 Pro refusing to perform web searches / getting combative with the current date. Ironically their flash model seems much more likely to opt for web search for info validation.

Not sure if others have seen this...

I could attribute it to:

1. It's known quantity with the pro models (I recall that the pro/thinking models from most providers were not immediately equipped with web search tools when they were released originally)

2. Google wants you to pay more for grounding via their API offerings vs. including it out of the box

Since you're in industry, any thoughts on the Rellis "test bench" at Texas A&M?

"SMR Four" Consortium:

    In early 2025, Texas A&M selected four other major SMR companies to deploy reactors at RELLIS:

        Kairos Power: Developing fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactors.

        Natura Resources: Working on liquid-fueled molten salt reactors (MSRs).

        Aalo Atomics: Focused on factory-fabricated microreactors (the "Aalo-1").

        Terrestrial Energy: Developing the Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR).

I'm surprised this hasn't been been automated yet but I'm pretty naive to the space - the problem of "when?"/"how often?" seems like a fun one to chew on
I always chuckle when tech writers take a stab at financial statements
Its also plausible that the research field attracts people who want to explore the cutting edge and now that transformers are no longer "that"... he wants to find something novel.

I have in my possession a chunk of one of those graphite bricks. Very neat piece of history.
Probably the Intel CPUs in Macbooks before Apple made the push for the M1 - circa the Intel quad core era where their laptop chips had major heat issues... ~2012 IIRC?
That is true, but I'd rather deal with a busted solar farm than a busted nuclear reactor
