Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of amps." What I said was, "Give me all the amps you have." Do you understand?

Don't know if I'll ever best a 3 phase 8000A arc furnace though.

"Shopping" at "stores" for commodities is really amateur manual item picking at inefficient, insecure logistics hubs located on expensive land. It's all going away. Machines will select and deliver goods faster, better & cheaper. Can't wait for the last day I enter a box store.

This seems so obvious: Who cares about CUDA when AI can rewrite anything in anything? It's why I'm looking for gently used AMD MI355X servers.
The Nvidia CUDA moat is gone. Anthropic sees all compute as fungible and it only took Mythos 3 days to figure out how to run itself on AMD hardware.

This is a decade of agency. Go. Do. Now.

new grinch just dropped
BONES attributed to Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, kept since 1098 in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, were STOLEN from their reliquary inside the basilica, then DESTROYED. The suspect, arrested at his home, admitted to SMASHING the display case protecting the reliquary, then stealing its contents, BURNING the bones and CRUSHING them out of a “desire to destroy.” (Source: L'Est Républicain)

I got to introduce a business owner to AI yesterday. "Can it -" Yes. "Will it -" Yes, watch. Zero to SOTA in one hour. The best question on Claude (no Thielian context): "Ethically, I'm not helping create the Antichrist, am I?" Funny you ask - can't guarantee that.

I've always wondered when we would start using the vacuum of space to cut manufacturing queue times.
Replying to @XFreeze
If the wafer is transported in vacuum, then no pump down is required when it transfers to a machine that requires vacuum. This would greatly improve cycle time and yield.

Birds are quiet. Drones will be quiet.
Replying to @Keller @maggiemjim
We’ve spent a decade focused on building new powertrains that can operate quietly. We were reading Soviet aerospace white papers from the 70s to figure out how to do this!

Sometimes the direct, simple things work the best. The private key? 4. The password? "p". The algorithm for RSI? Asking nicely.
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp… github.com/RikiyaT/lm_und… huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0… huggingface.co/RikiyaT/Qwen3.…

AGI is here. Claude (with a tiny bit of context) has an incredibly good guess at the purpose of these wires.
