All the hedge funds sniping orders right now lol

Low latency starlink orders on hold

Might be hug of death but the load times are horrifically slow.

For me nextcloud has always been worryingly slow even on my instance

Is the markdown rendered once on the server and stored as HTML? Then why is it slow? Or is it rendered for each client, or rendered in the client?

The blog mentions checking each agent action (say the agent was planning to send a malicious http request) against the user prompt for coherence; the attack vector exists but it should make the trivial versions of instruction injection harder

we all love non ascii code (cough emoji variable names)

I thought human preferences was typically considered a noisy reward signal

If it was just "noisy", you could compensate with scale. It's worse than that.

"Human preference" is incredibly fucking entangled, and we have no way to disentangle it and get rid of all the unwanted confounders. A lot of the recent "extreme LLM sycophancy" cases is downstream from that.

I've never used Kagi before and wanted to try: how does Kagi stack up against Brave search?

Kagi results consume brave search among others before returning the result so should be a superset in quality

I assume the high volume of search traffic forces Google to use a low quality model for AI overviews. Frontier Google models (e.g. Gemini 2.5 pro) are on-par, if not 'better', than leading models from other companies.

Generally agree with the ideas of the article and wanted to know more about what a 'makerist' movement for AI would be like.

Quite concerning to see the issue still marked as open (since jan!), hopefully it got fixed and it's just that no one marked as closed

Helium is released from alpha decay (hence unlikely to run out in the near future) and is also obtainable from natural gas. That being said it is still non-renewable (in the sense that once the radioactive decays happen no more helium is released) and has quite volatile prices for some reason.

For those who don't know, the helium we use for party balloons is mostly the accumulation of Alpha particles in petroleum reserves. When that helium is released it floats into the upper atmosphere and boils off into space. All other methods of helium acquisition are extremely costly and inefficient.

This means that in the next couple hundred years more or less, humanity will run out of helium cheap enough to use for piddly things like MRIs and particle accelerators. It will essentially become the most valuable resource on the planet mostly extracted from volcanic gasses.

We’ll be mining the Jovian planets at that point.

Why? That would be like taking a flight to China to buy a gallon of milk.

Wouldn't it be more like going to China to buy herds of cattle?
