I think this is also a reason why X has gotten worse. They pay people for engagement.

I believe Nvidia chips have a secure way to run your model on other infra.

Isn't that what insurance is for? So you don't need to stash away a bunch of idle capital incase something goes wrong.

Text autocomplete can write code, carry out actions (tool calls) and launch cyber attacks. It very much is a matter of national security.

The problem is recursive self improvement creating a very difficult gap and the fact that power, compute has a lag from when you invest and when data centers come up.

You also can't just spin up a research team out of nowhere.

I wonder with these stories. Why are there so many individual country efforts? We know the scale needed with scaling laws / capital / energy. Most of these countries alone can barely compete (even large groups of them would struggle.

Why don't they work together on it? Companies like Airbus have already been able to do that with aircraft.

Until they choose to lock their models down (e.g. Fable). Building policy off copying isn't reliable.

sarjann — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:25:51 +0000

I don't think token speed matters as much when a lot of tokens are needed to achieve a task. E.g. artificial analysis benchmarks where deepseek v4 is one of the biggest token burners to go through the benchmark.

My understanding is google owns a pretty decent stake in spacex (around 6% end of 2025). Booking revenue now will probably help Spacex's valuation.

I mean there is a little something called compute. And other complexity that comes like writing code to efficiently distribute a model across machines.

sarjann — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:17:51 +0000

I think it could help to maybe allow 10 searches free (without logging in) just for someone to see what the UI is like or show an example of the results page. It adds a bit of friction for someone to have to make an account and pay just to test the product.

Kagi lets you test it offline (go incognito and try) " Kagi Search is funded by members, not advertisers: built to find what you need, not sell your attention.

Try 50 free searches, and if you love it, sign up for 100 more before choosing a plan. Searches used "

I think it should be tested on goals.

E.g. Crack this puzzle, fix this code so these tests pass. (A human can verify it doesn't cheese things).

Isn't the solution in game theory when there are multiple turns to just repeat the move the previous person made.

So if the other side overpumped by x1 amount then you pump an extra x1 the next turn / year (maybe multiplied some reference production factor as they don't all have the same absolute limits).

Show HN: Generate lesson slides, homework and revision notes for UK teachers

sarjann — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:23:04 +0000

I'm a developer and I kept hearing from teachers how much time they spend making learning materials. So I built a tool where you pick a subject, topic, and education level, and it generates structured slides, homework, or revision notes that you can edit and export.

It's not perfect and the output needs user validation before using it in class, but it cuts the starting from scratch problem. Built with React, Convex, and OpenRouter w/ AI. Happy to answer questions, this is my first user facing product so don't be too mean :D.

Added support for SVG's as well although models don't seem great at that (e.g. angle arcs being wrongly placed) and there are some clipping issues I need to resolve.
