New comment by BinRoo in "Every SaaS business will become a harness around a model"

> Harnesses go from internal tooling you’d happily buy to something you’d no more outsource than your product-eng org or your GTM team.

I couldn't have said this better myself. If you're not owning your harness, and you're not owning your model, then that leaves very little moat for any AI native company.

For anyone who can't make it to IEEE Quantum Week this year in Toronto, I've made my accepted tutorial publicly available. New lessons drop every Tuesday.

Beware of the benchmarks listed. SciCode and EnterpriseOps for instance: https://shukla.io/blog/2026-08/gym.html

Love that this goes beyond paged attention. Curious how this compares with Radix Attention [1]?

Food for thought: if inflation remains poor (3.5%) a $5 hot dog will cost twenty-fold in under a century.

New comment by BinRoo in "Professor denounces mass AI fraud on an exam at Brown"

BinRoo — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 23:01:05 +0000

> In the AI era...

Back in my day, you could also just Google the problems and find the solutions. What mitigated cheating at UVA was the honor code and each professor's faith and trust in our integrity. That culture was enough to not cheat.

Imo, the fix should be to work on culture. Cheating should always be a tempting choice, so that the student may challenge their integrity, which is a muscle that can atrophy.

New comment by BinRoo in "The just-say-no engineer was a ZIRP phenomenon"

BinRoo — Wed, 27 May 2026 04:37:07 +0000

Beautiful write-up, thank you.

One aspect that still bothers me is that you claim the just-say-no-engineer "was a critical role during ZIRP." I might be in the minority here, but I don't hold that same stance. I wonder if I am alone in that?

Ever read a quantum circuit? It's all so foreign, so let me introduce to you a simple one (no speedup) called rank-select, described through an interactive story.
