Well put, great article.

Yeah this Tao guy is just your average scrub. You would be able to tell the difference, right richard_chase?

I think you’re just speculating.

The training costs are well below the profits for each model.

Yeah, they're lying. The model didn't do any of that, right?

No one cares about wrinkles anymore. Come on let's be real.

Problem with that is that if the agent starts to browse the contents of the repo, it may read both AGENTS and CLAUDE.md.

What do you want the regulators to do to Apple in this case? What have they done wrong?

I dont necessarily disagree with you on your other points, but the population argument sort of shows a lack of understanding of how China works. It’s not guaranteed at all that they will ever overtake the US.

Why would they allow Mythos but not Fable? Fable is the one with more guardrails.

Yeah but one is supported by science and the other isn't. It's nothing to do with internet access. The fact is that computers/ipads in classrooms are negative regardless of whether they're connected to the internet.

pertymcpert — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 22:15:26 +0000

Yes, there's also a push to ban all computers in classrooms because data is showing that it's of no benefit and if anything is a negative effect on education.

If Clang generated non-deterministic output due to pointer addresses then that's a bug (happens regularly) that should be fixed. The most common way this happens if it some code path is iterating over a DenseMap which is non-deterministic. Sometimes that's fine and sometimes that's not depending on how that map is used. The common way to fix that is to switch to a MapVector which pays some additional runtime/memory cost to guarantee deterministic iteration order.

I read their post in the way they intended. Regardless of whether they can, the fact that they fail to cover all the bases makes the legislation almost useless.

Football really doesn't have control over politicians. There are only 20 premier league teams and most of them aren't very influential, only a few big clubs. In terms of scale they are dwarfed by the financial services industry in the UK. Arm for example could buy all of the premier league teams (with their own equity, not cash on hand).

Most of the cost of batteries is in labor? So why not outsource them out of China where labor is quite expensive vs developing countries?

Small steps taken many times gets you far. At some point the scaling will kick in and ramp up even more.

> Thats a really deep thought for a 12 year old.

This was completely unnecessary. I understand why you say it, you like to make people feel bad. But it was being an asshole, regardless of how you try to justify it.
