> Humans should focus on finding simple solutions that lead to a 10X improvement

How many humans can you name who really did that? Like, in the whole history of our species

Didn't Americans send all their freedom to Iran?

You mean the state of Iran?

Yes, and now they're running out.

So now Iran with their freedom ?

yes, diesel is 1 cent per liter. For $50 can drive the whole month non stop.

> It's avoiding two distinct vowel sounds in succession

That implies that English added a consonant there to avoid double vowels, but it's the other way around: it used to have "n" always, same as other Germanic languages, and then it was dropped to avoid two consonants in a row

My layman definition of what a star is is "it's somewhere in the sky and it gives off light". The word "density" wouldn't even come to my mind

Thanks to blackbody radiation, every human skydiver briefly becomes a star by this definition! ;)

It needs a core generating energy through fusion, which has density requirements, for what it’s worth.

I've been using it since the time it was called Netscape Navigator. Just sayin'

Loved netscape navigator! That entire suite with mail, website builder (composer?)

Shit, remember Mosaic? Gopher?

Any fellow CompuServe users around???

> So the (PCI-E) bandwidth strongly affects time to first token

On dedicated inference hardware I'd expect model weights to never leave the RAM, and you'd probably load them on startup before even starting to serve requests

Another 40% is in Russia, good luck with that

Afaik, the modern view on birds is not that they came from dinosaurs, but they are dinosaurs, the only kind that survived.

That's probably a bit pedantic. Whether you draw a magic line with dinosaurs on one side and (avian) dinosaurs/birds on the other or just say that birds continued on from the avian dinosaur clade is pretty definitional.

> The latest cuts come after Oracle's workforce fell by roughly 21,000 employees, or 13%, during fiscal 2026

13% doesn't seem too different from other tech companies

The 13% quoted there was from previous layoffs that mostly took place in Q2 of 2026.

This is another 20,000 - 30,000 (the exact number isn't public yet) on top of that.

The difference is that they didn't overhire during Covid.

I guess, you don't use AI for work? Otherwise, why should you be paid for it? Should you only be paid for the code you actually wrote yourself?

I do. But the difference is: do I go around bragging that my agent worked for 88h to solve a problem? Where is the credit coming from? Is it coming from the: I was the first one to think about throwing a prompt: "Solve Riemann Hypothesis" and it turns out that by luck of the non-deterministic behavior of the agent, it got right? Wow, that is a lot of merit really. Congrats...

Sorry the sarcasm, but really your point makes absolutely no sense. It is completely different to design something with AI and then execute, validate, evolve vs just prompt it machine-g-brrrr style and get a result. This brings an important question. Nowadays I don't write code, I review code, I review systems behavior and get paid for it. Will that be the same for math researchers? Their prompt/problem is already well-posed out there. Ours, in the day-to-day, are not. Will the first one to verify AI work get the credit? or is it going to be the dumdum that types a simple prompt and has the compute to run it for 21321 hours? I absolutely don't get your point here. Or you are just rage baiting

If the machine is highly non-deterministic, it is a matter of luck to get to the result, therefore using agentic swarms to optimize chance.
