This part stood out to me: "Jamie Brandon got an offer from Anthropic and you probably can't afford him unless you're OpenAI"

Interesting.. so how much do you think his package was worth?

I've heard people say this, but I haven't seen any evidence for it. Do you have any evidence?

Generally I believe a person's baseline happiness is determined at birth.

Some people are just born happier than others.

Not that impressive when you realize it's mostly due to AI slop

edit: AI actually writes 99.9% of my code these days. I'm just saying of course the number of commits to github is going to climb astronomically due to AI.

At this point, it doesn't matter who is distilling from who.

When I first heard about pi.dev I was also initially confused. Raspberry Pi is already very big in the hacker community... they really should not have named this harness "Pi".

re: overloaded naming

Anyone else think "Pi" was a bad naming choice? raspberry pi was already big in the hacker community

How does it score on DeepSWE?

While all the other AI labs are releasing new models weekly or monthly...we have Google here busy renaming their AI products (NotebookLM -> Gemini Notebook, and Gemini CLI -> Antigravity CLI)

For comparison, a human brain has roughly 100 trillion synapses, which are sometimes loosely compared to about 100 trillion AI parameters.

How many parameters do the top closed models use?

They have this, it's essentially ChatGPT Business. And if you use an Amex Plat card, it's basically free (plenty of ChatGPT 50% off links going around, or at least there were a few weeks ago).

Why would they want to? China’s entire economic model relies on the US remaining a stable, wealthy consumer base for their industrial output. Physically invading your largest customer is a form of economic suicide.

They don't want to govern California; they want to ensure that the global infrastructure, shipping lanes, and institutions run on Chinese technology and standards. From Beijing's perspective, a kinetic war on the US mainland destroys the exact global economy they are trying to lead.

California already more or less provides 8 weeks of paid parental leave (PFL program).

Anyone deep in the AI realm know which is the gold standard benchmark for coding?
