New comment by cantaloupe in "Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence"

cantaloupe — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 21:04:21 +0000

I didn’t realize that GPT-5.6 is basically dominating the cost/intelligence Pareto frontier right now, at least for this set of benchmarks. Otherwise it’s only Fable on the very high end and DeepSeek on the very low end. This Kimi model gets close, though.

Looks a lot like Tailscale.

New comment by cantaloupe in "High-income job losses are cooling housing demand"

cantaloupe — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 19:11:19 +0000

The academic consensus is that there is a housing shortage, not a surplus. Perhaps there is a local surplus in undesirable areas, but that isn’t true in cities or nationally.

Some interesting points, but it’s hard to get past the over the top ad hominem against Musk and generally emotionally charged feeling of the article.

Only if no interest is accrued on assets. When interest is introduced, there is no longer shuffling.

This more detailed simulation shows the impact of UBI, interest, etc. Unsurprisingly it is much more balanced with UBI and even more extremely skewed with interest accruing. https://joshworth.com/jpw/does-this-simulation-explain-why-l...

This is only when no other effects/processes are accounted for. If every participant keeps their current funds in an account with the same interest rate, then the distribution permanently skews so that there is no longer bobbing. The rich stay rich. See this more detailed simulation linked in another comment: https://joshworth.com/jpw/does-this-simulation-explain-why-l...

New comment by cantaloupe in "Show HN: Cleverb.ee – open-source agent that writes a cited research report"

cantaloupe — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 04:30:56 +0000

I browsed the GitHub and website for a bit, but didn’t see any examples! It would be useful to share the output for a common question that can be substantiated with reliable sources, like “Is coffee good for me?”. Even better if you can show a comparison to other deep research tools. From the copy it seems like Cleverbee could pull from more diverse sources (e.g. YouTube) and fewer unreliable sources (e.g. product blogs). Show that off!

His paper is #55, “Some upsetting things about shapes”, found on page 342. Its header and contents are not searchable, presumably due to his use of his bespoke typesetting program from a previous SIGBOVIK year. It’s a great read!
