Income vs wealth tax. These aren't comparable.

Multi turn review of code written by cc reviewed by codex works pretty well. Been one of the only ways to be able to deliver larger scoped features without constant bugs. I've seen them do 10-15 rounds of fix and review until complete.

Also implemented this as a gh action, works well for sentry to gh to auto triage to fix pr.

This is as designed to gatekeep these customers. Those in control of the checklists stand to benefit.

Maybe you have not received an alert but, yes it does, and it's annoying as all hell. Dirt, sun, etc all pop an alert about degraded performance.

I answered this already for one of our investors - marked the single "decline to disclose" box and sent it back.

It's wikipedia in the 00s all over again being preached by roughly the same age and social demographic.

No, it lets good engineers parallelize work. I can be adding a route to the backend while Cline with Sonnet 3.7 adds a button to the frontend. Boilerplate work that would take 20-30 minutes is handled by a coding agent. With Claude writing some of the backend routes with supervision, you've got a very efficient workflow. I do something like this daily in a 80k loc codebase.

The research posted demonstrates the opposite of that within the scope of sequence lengths they studied. The model has future tokens strongly represented well in advance.

This is, justifiably, very similar to nuclear reactor operators. Pay needs to reflect the working conditions to attract more people (it does for reactor operators).

Great release Daniel. Applaud the consistency you have shown.

Can you release slightly bigger quant versions? Would enjoy something that runs well on 8x32 v100 and 8x80 A100.

The cyber security gatekeepers care very little about that kind of stuff. They care only about what does not get them in trouble, and AI in many enterprises is still viewed as a cyber threat.

I didn't say average, and the highs are higher for many days. It sounds like you've never been in extreme heat, there's a huge difference between 89F and 110+F. More people are moving here than are leaving.

There are already different classes of licensing in the US for larger industrial vehicles.

And where I live it's 110F+ for three months of the year. No one sane is biking or walking anywhere as it's too dangerous. Not everyone lives in some temperate small European city.

Having done this for domain specific engineering paperwork that looks similar to cause analysis, it does work well at param sizes << 70B.

lora does not work though, you need full parameter training if the knowledge isnt already present in pre training set.

If it was an airplane it wouldn't be at 75ft agl, he probably wouldn't have shot at it, and if he did, the charges would have been significantly more severe. The drone was 75ft high. Pretty easy to see what it is clearly.
