A friend recently showed off a security scan Kimi did that Claude refused. I noticed the writing sounded uncannily like Claude. I decided to chat with it to see if the distillation claims had any merit.

So I messaged Kimi on Fireworks with "Hi Kimi!" and K3 responded: "Quick heads-up - I'm actually Claude, an Al assistant made by Anthropic, not Kimi. But hello all the same!"

Kimi is Claude

Unless Apple figures out AI software execution and opens up their walled garden a bit, their hardware edge won't matter.

In 2020 I could write audio apps that worked incredibly well on a Pixel: despite LLMs! I still can get Siri to put tasks in the right todo app 70% of the time.

I updated to iOS 27 beta hoping something had changed, but nope: the biggest change is a massive black orb search bar.

Is there any reason they shouldn't be the same?

Yes. You need ZDR at the account level first. Contact your AWS rep.

I have done this a few times for customer deployments.

You can be stupefied and also pessimistic.

More practically, society should be reimagined around AI. You're comment presumes an outcome that will be politically determined: you can still fight for the world you want.

This is actually simpler to implement. You can have a AGENTS.md describing who is boot at what and then you have the agents converse over tmux.

Anthropic offered ZDR for Fable on AWS bedrock from the beginning.

That was a reccomendation from a philosophy professor I had in college. By the end of the semester, I didn't even have to review my notes.

I went back to school at 25, and that moment made me realize why school felt strangely more difficult, and then I remembered that we wrote down everything back then.

From the article, it looks like ads are separate from answers in a clearly delineated way. It's not quite as nefarious as what you're suggesting. Frankly, I'm surprised.

This is only round one however, and I could see a future where they offer more "intimate" experiences. At least that's not today.

JavaScript is dynamic and supports live reload which means iterations are far faster than would be in a compiled language--even for LLMs.

This is especially useful when you're trying to evaluate behaviors while changing state surgically.

It's the exact same playbook Silicon Valley uses. Subsizide, lose piles of money, capture market share, recoup investment.

They've done this in other industries like solar panels, chips, and EVs. This is no different.

We will suffer from not knowing how to add. You could still argue "so what?"

Systems aren't a single addition. They are compounded operations with sprawling complexity. What happens when you can't reason through the system? What happens when you start asking for the wrong things? What happens when saying "fix it" on loop stops working?

The FDE is really the consolidation of two existing roles: solutions architect and engineer.

In the old days, sales would close a client with the help of someone in technical sales and a solutions architect that would come up with a high level spec for a solution. That spec would be fleshed out post sales and then given to an engineer to develop.

Today the FDE often does both.

The difference between Palantir and pure consulting is that Palantir has a core software platform that they customize per client. The business model is more akin to IBM or SAP products.

I'm not sure I follow what one step means exactly. Aren't all models some f(x) = y? Is the suggestion instead that we should be doing f(x) = g(h(x)) = y?

What would the difference be?

Of course they did: they could have just chosen to not publish apps which would have crippled iOS. The only reason it feels existential is because developers made a Faustian bargain from the beginnning.
