CF Workers uses V8 isolates rather than (OS/HW-level) VMs.

Also, the RAM usage isn't really a differentiator between FaaS and any other cloud instance. If a VM is used for FaaS, it's almost certainly also used across the platform for multi-tenancy, invisible live migration, etc.

It imitates applying knowledge. The imitation may be uncanny, but assigning LLMs intentionality and ToM is a category error.

That's either a mathematically illiterate assumption or a very strange philosophical hill to die on.

Sure. The question is what to do about the ones that can be averted.

Again, the question is what choices to make when you can (arguably must) make them. Saying they're impossible is just refusing to take responsibility. You either do something, or you don't.

It sounds like they use plenty of software so they must be incredibly lucky, picky, or both.

Because one day they'll send you an email informing you the new rate is $1.50, and if you missed the email, that's not their problem.

There's no particular reason "agent harness" can't have practically the same definition, substituting test-specific concepts for agent-specific ones.

Dumping slop into the public commons deserves criticism.

Well, physicists came up with quantum mechanics because they found a way to distinguish a genuinely discrete phenomenon.

Understanding the physical universe overlaps with a subset of math. It shouldn't constrain the abstract tools which may or may not one day be useful for that understanding.

Not really. There are infinitely many infinities. Infinite numbers are not particularly more special than real numbers, complex numbers, matrices, functions/operators, etc.

It's unclear what you're saying here... Yes, AI-induced psychosis is a real problem and the frontier labs' mitigations are ineffective, to put it mildly. But using AI as a coding tool doesn't have anything to do with psychosis.

Yes, so, not particularly.

Sure, the exact choice on the trade-off, changing that choice, and having a pretty product-breaking bug as a result, are much more opaque. But I was responding to somebody who was surprised there's any trade-off at all. Computers don't give you infinite resources, whether or not they're "servers," "in the cloud," or "AI."

Touché. Still, to a reasonable approximation, caching makes the dominant term linear, or equiv, linearly scales the expensive bits.
