I sue the speedup/accuracy for the ML algorithm. So far seems to be doing well, albeit on mostly synthetic data. Need to see how well it performs on the real world data.

Vibe coding ML library refactor fails with no speedup
By
–
Yesterday I tried to vibe code a refactor of an ML library into a new more efficient framework. I followed some of the "best practices" I heard of here: created the refactor plan with Claude and then implemented it in Codex. It was a disaster. No meaningful speedup for any of

I wouldn't be surprised if in the second half of this year we get *weekly* +0.1 model version releases. At least from the top three labs that matter.

AI labs must mandate remote work in small towns for normie taste
By
–
I honestly think that *ALL* AI labs should make it MANDATORY for a high percentage of their workforce to be fully remote and work in small towns away from tech hubs. Their insider AI mindset is getting out of hand. They are increasingly incapable of relating to the normie tastes
