I am confused or misinformed. I thought the administration has severely gutted nasa, did it not? Yet they are doubling down on the brand?

Does this also mean ram prices are not coming down anytime soon?

Isn’t email already scriptable? What does cf provide that is different? I clicked on it assuming they are launching their own email service.

I am beginning to fear Claude is going to massively raise prices or at the very least severely restrict its $20/month plan. Hope it doesn’t happen but feels inevitable

I like the approach, however, could tell this is done by AI, someone that studied it at the periphery. The characters, if you are automating the creation, should be a lot more in depth, at least that’s what I would expect.

It still has the best AI news because users are not quitting it. Even the most fervent left leaning folks I know cannot quit it. Too bad it fell into the wrong hands and became a shell of its former self

So this is trending towards new prices and quotas just like your Netflix pricing. The cost of this infra is high or they have realized they have hit a tipping point in usage and they can raise prices and people will pay, just like Netflix.

New comment by yalogin in "Small models also found the vulnerabilities that Mythos found"

yalogin — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 18:53:48 +0000

Intuitively every existing model has already been trained on all code, all vulnerabilities reported, all security papers. So they all have the capability. Small models fall short because they may not be able to find a vulnerability that spans across a large function chain but for the most part they should suffice too.

Of course I say this without any knowledge of what mythos is doing or how it’s different. I am sure it’s somehow different

This is a cool idea, very well put through for everyone to understand such an esoteric concept.

However I wonder if the core idea itself is useful or not in practice. With modern memory there are two main aspects it makes worse. First is cost, it needs to double the memory used for the same compute. With memory costs already soaring this is not good. Then the other main issue of throughout, haven’t put enough thought into that yet but feels like it requires more orchestration and increases costs there too.

New comment by yalogin in "Robots eat cars"

yalogin — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 07:40:51 +0000

Building robots at that scale without any indication that the market wants it is weird. I wouldn’t want to say atupid because with musk there is no rational thought. However this is not cars where the concept exists and we know people spend 100k towards a car. We don’t know if people will even spend on a robot that doesn’t do shit. Figure is looking at 100-150k robot if built at scale, so u less they revised this estimate down drastically, what does a 20k robot do?

I don’t see the allure here. It’s nothing but an ai assistant that’s already on every phone. The interaction angle is not clean at all. I hear Apple is going to release something similar. Very curious to see how that goes, I am extremely pessimistic on that one. Let’s see

New comment by yalogin in "EFF is leaving X"

yalogin — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:32:36 +0000

I wonder if the message of eff doesn’t resonate with the younger generation who did not see the OS wars first hand and instead always saw Microsoft as a cloud provider and Apple and Google as the OS providers.

This is actually really nice from anthropic. They are aggressively owning the entire development stack for every swe. They become the default development platform. Automatic recurring revenue too and I am sure they will come up with more categories of subscriptions too.

Meta is in a weird spot. They caught up late to the game and instead of releasing llama as a chat bot they open sourced it, precisely because they lost the mind share. They thought chatbot is not their product and I am sure they are regretting it now. Mark is obsessed with becoming the android of something and he poured billions into the metaverse thinking he is first and failed. He then open sourced llama and wanted to be the android of llms. He ended up enabling groq but it didn’t benefit meta directly at all. They have no revenue or mind share path from llms but continue to pour billions into it. The only 1-1 mapping is with the glasses but that is a tough fit for the company given they are extremely allergic to privqcy and security.

Not sure what this is now.

How is this not already common knowledge for existing llms? They are all trained with all the literature available and so this must be standard, no? Is the real danger the agentic infrastructure around this?

So with all the bluster we are able to roll the clock back successfully to pre Obama stage of negotiations? Essentially starting from discussing if Iran should have nuclear capability or not and then adding new stuff like Iran controlling the strait and collecting toll on it. Awesome, so much winning!

Has anyone played with the released versions of Claude and tried to create exploits? I cannot imagine it not being able to craft one if guided, unless the tooling around it doesn’t allow it

This is not over yet and it may just result in an established fee for each shipment through the strait to Iran. We won’t/havent hear from Israel which is the key player here. They just do what they want to do because they know the whole world will look the other way.

So what changed? They are surely not getting new data to train with, what is the change in architecture that caused this? Do we not know anything about this model? My fear is Anthropic cannot be the only one that achieved it, OpenAI, Gemini and even the Chinese companies see this and probably achieved it too. At which point not releasing will become moot.

Depends on how much funding you have, your target audience, target vertical, and how custom your hardware is, no? There can only be so many things you can cut and optimize.
