Started watching “I bought an abandoned storage unit” videos and I can’t think of any job I’d enjoy less. The initial score would be a huge dopamine hit, but pricing the junk, hauling the junk, storing the junk, paying to trash the junk, selling the junk, and shipping the junk to people all sounds awful to me. They’re fun videos, but feels like the sad sewers of materialism to me. Related

It's likely that more software will be produced next year than in all of the history of computing. It took Vercel 10 years to get to 1 billion deployments, but then we added another 1.4 billion in the last 10 months alone. Some of this will be tiny, personal and even disposable software. An HTML file with some javascript ("artifacts"), a report, a pricing calculator, a slide deck, all the way to sophisticated apps, agents and platforms. Deployment speed is one of our obsessions. We've brought down the time to deploy, upload, assign a domain and globally propagate an artifact to 1 second.

many people reported astra draining quota way too fast i ran an empirical study to quantify this for us. now here's some hard data - 1. in terms of "how many $ of tokens do you get from 1% of weekly quota", astra and sol aren't meaningfully different, so OpenAI is not "cheating" or anything they both give around $13-15 per 1% of weekly quota on the $200 plan (btw this also shows you the month value of the subscription is ~$6000) 2. however, astra works much faster than sol while being way more expensive in terms of pricing. these two factors compound into a 2x faster drain on your quota the s… OpenAI Related

The ETP was a successful project, running over several months, to resolve over 22 million implications in universal algebra (and formalize them in Lean) through a variety of methods, both human and automated, although in our case the automation was much more in the ``good old-fashioned'' form of utilizing automated theorem provers (ATP) and simple scr… Related

Goodbye per-seat pricing. Per-user pricing has always rubbed me the wrong way. And in this agentic age, it feels downright antique. For the vast majority of the time Basecamp has been on offer, we never charged per-user. A few years ago we experimented with one pay-per-user plan, and that experiment just came to an end. And it couldn’t come at a better time. With the Basecamp CLI (and soon MCP, too), you can bring your agents to Basecamp as users too. Charging you for individual agents feels just as wrong as charging you for individual people. So today we have brand new pricing plans with NO… basecamp.com

I've been maintaining a Rails app for ~10 years. It has very specific business logic for on-site multi-day course registrations. DDD style like I learned at 37signals. For 10 years, I configured each course in the Rails console. It was never worth it to build out the configurator UI. This year, I just talked to AI to do it. And the payoff from the carefully written model is really amazing. The AI was completely speaking the language of the domain and even raising meaningful pricing/structural questions about how the packages are set up this year vs previous years.

A short illustration of how the Claude's watermarking is supposed to work (based on my read of their released materials). In general, when we are generating tokens, there can be multiple high-scoring tokens at certain next-word positions. Usually, we sample with top-k or top-p sampling so the highest-scoring token is most often selected (if we repeat the sampling many times), but other tokens may be selected as well. With watermarking, there is a key that says which of the (ideally equally) highest-scoring tokens to select. Or, more concretely, the secret key and previous token influence the… Quoting @AnthropicAI We’ve written an FAQ to answer some of the questions we've received about watermarking.

humans are capable of doing a lot of things with our tools, but we don't do all of them. For example, today any car manufacturer can say every Friday the brake doesn't work. This is a trivial technology. There's a clock in the car's computer and it just turns off the brake every Friday. But we don't do that because it has deeply bad implications to our human society.

sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
