Wasn’t this already tried at least once and then reverted some 2 years later?

Yes, nothing fancy.

I’m on iOS 26.5 and for some reason background playback continues smoothly even when locking the screen.

Thank You!

You probably already know this but sou can get a lot of Levine’s writing without a paid Bloomie subscription by subscribing to his Money Stuff Newsletter.

As soon as tokens stop stop being subsidized, heavy agentic use will become as least as expensive than paying an (entry level) employee. When this happens many companies will trade off havy tolen usage for (maybe a bit slower, bit less accurate) employees again.

Tis is very simple and very cool! Just installed it on my Hetzner box where I run a remote controlled local agent so now I can basically chat/email a video link to get a summary and/or ask questions. The only issue was YouTube's PO Token requirement (web/mweb clients refuse to serve formats from datacenter IPs without a valid Proof-of-Origin token.) So I had to find a client that still work without PO Token first. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate Evans’ work and wrote an “antithesis” to the Nov 2024 iteration of this. Given the pivot to “models look likely to become infrastructure” I might want to update my take.

Very neat project - been clicking through it for a while, a bit slow but manageable - hope it holds the weight of the HN front page.

cool idea, happy to try it out

Searches each data broker site for your name + state

Is this US only or would it also work for international profiles (and if so what would be the "state" equivalent)?

Commenting here since this is somewhat related to the research (1) I have been doing lately:

UMA is one transparency layer.

The bigger one is the public WebSocket feed itself, which broadcasts post-match book state but hides taker identity. So trade direction inferred from the feed only hits 59% sign agreement vs on-chain ground truth.. that breaks six standard microstructure measures (effective spread, Kyle's lambda, Amihud, etc.) on most top-100 markets.

I believe any Polymarket research that depends on direction should to source it from on-chain OrderFilled events, not the feed.

Don't necessarily agree with all of the writing in this article. But I just spent the past weeks reading into the whole AI valuation topic again (did dis in March already (1)). So I'll try to add some perspective:

Form my research (1) Four widely cited 2025 enterprise AI revenue figures span 40x ($37B Menlo, $1.478T Gartner). The audit-grade floor you could defend on a 10-Q against $690B of 2026 hyperscaler capex is just $63.2B, or 9.2% coverage. Telecom 1999 peaked at 28%. Even after netting only AI-incremental capex you only get to 12-15%, which is still below the closest analogue we have.

I like the idea. As others suggested it might be a good idea to drop the branding. Had the same considerations when I built a “Tinder” (1) for RSS Feeds. In the end it worked fine, if not better.

This is super cool - Started using Zed a couple weeks ago. Is there also something like a Theme gallery? Where one can look at Themes other people created? I would imagine not everyone has the inspiration to build their own "form scratch" but would still love to customize.

corrected, thanks for flagging!

If your model converges to the same outputs as everyone else's because everyone trained on the same data, the only thing left to differentiate on is brand, and fear is great at building brand.

"We are too dangerous to commoditize" pitches better than "we are mostly typical of the internet's median answer", those are kind of the same statement.

In young women, just 1.36% dehydration makes tasks feel 58% harder, concentration 45% harder, fatigue 17% worse, and headaches ~2x more likely.

Despite all the (valid) criticisms here I just wanted to say that this is a really cool Idea and well executed imo. Thanks for sharing!

OpenAI is doing the Joel Spolsky move, commoditize the layer above yours. Google did it with Kubernetes back when GCP was losing on infra. If they don't put a spec out, every orchestrator gets built around MCP or A2A by default and OpenAI is the third wheel. The spec is free, the runtime is where the money is..

AlphaZero worked because chess and Go have terminal rewards and positions you can prove are right or wrong. General intelligence has neither, and the leap from self-play in a well-defined game to self-play in arbitrary environments is the hard part Silver isn't really demoing. Sara Hooker's stuff on scaling laws lines up here (1)

50% cache savings is nice buuuuut.. token cost is the product now, not the model. Every coding agent is converging on the same trick, cache the context across calls. Anthropic's prompt caching, then Cursor's snapshots, now this Reddit thing.

Captive aftermarkets are roughly the biggest hidden cross-subsidy in consumer goods imo.. printer and tractor OEMs price the unit near cost and pull the lifetime margin out of parts, service, and locked firmware. That's why right-to-repair is one of the few issues where farm states and urban progressives end up in the same column.

The veto doesn't read as pro-growth, more "don't apply the brake too broadly".. ME-307 was the first state-wide moratorium to get serious traction and one Jay carve-out was the only thing keeping it from law. NY is queued up next. Grid pushback is the part of the AI capex story the 10-Ks aren't really pricing in: https://philippdubach.com/posts/ai-capex-arms-race-who-blink...

The model is available today under the Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face (opens in a new window) and Github (opens in a new window).

Bringing back the Open to OpenAI..

whether the final result is actually better, or whether it is just a more polished hallucinatio

Agents sampled from the same base model agreeing with each other isn't validation, it's correlation. Cheaper orchestration mostly amplifies whatever bias the model already has. Neat hack though.
