Software developer since 1981. Excited about the utility of AI and LLMs. Use to say building with VueJs, InertiaJS, Laravel and Tailwind. Now developing in whatever tech stack makes sense for each project since LLMs can code in anything.

“ without a shadow of doubt” Yet Republican still embrace and fawn over the president who committed crimes against the United States. That is definitely their brand. Checkmark treason, and bestiality as OK for public office.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Even if AI development stopped today, we'd have years of catching up to do. The gap between what current models can do and what almost anyone is using them for is vast. Here’s my post on The Overhang, and the four advantages that let people close it. open.substack.com/pub/oneusefu...

The world has gone mad! Folks getting arrested under the UK Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said "I oppose genocide" 🇬🇧 That is fucked up! The majority of those arrested have been pension aged women, often with disabilities. Do these folks look like terrorists? Shame on you England. #Free 🇵🇸

Today, I was proud to join New Yorkers for the 9/11 Day of Service at the Intrepid Museum. September 11th is a day we remember the terror and loss our city endured. It is also a day we remember the extraordinary courage, kindness and generosity New Yorkers showed one another.
Mayor Mamdani volunteers at the Intrepid day of service. He is wearing a suit and a blue hair net.

I think it’s a great idea. If it happened the republicans would never win another election. Of course that does assume there would be another election.

All sane people everywhere are extreemly worred about where 'Merica is headed. If they're not they aren't paying attention. I've been concerned for a while, but I thought the comparison to 1930s fascism was a little far fetched. I'm reminded daily that I was probably wrong.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

Just me or have the SOTA releases (Anthropic & OpenAI) slowed down? If not false perception then I suspect it's concern with the capabilities of the next gen models. Problem with slowing down is that the Chinese & open weights models are unlikley to pause their progress. Horse has already bolted.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

We know they knew. But this is the world we live in where principles are scrificed to self interest. Reminds me of the movie Kingdom of Heaven where the priest suggests they all convert to Islam & repent later. To which Bloom's character replies, "You have taught me a lot about religion."

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

You’ve waited long enough, the Kimi K3 open weights & full tech report are here! github.com/MoonshotAI/K...
K KIMI K3: OPEN FRONTIER INTELLIGENCE
TECHNICAL REPORT OF KIMI K3
Kimi Team
ABSTRACT
parameters, native vision capabilities, and a 1-million-token context window. Kimi K3 is built on Kimi Delta Attention [63] and Attention Residuals [57], which improve information flow across sequence length and model depth. Together with Stable LatentMoE, which effectively activates 16 of 896 routed experts per token, and refined training and data recipes, these advances yield an proximately 2.5x improvement in overall scaling efficiency over Kimi K2 [581. Post-trainin highlights reinforcement learning across general, agentic, and coding domains and multiple reasoning-effort levels, enabling compositional generalization and robust long-horizon execution. At 2.8T scale, Kimi K3 is supported by infrastructure advances in multiple areas: algorithm-system co-design for KDA, perfectly balanced expert-parallel training with efficient memory management, million-token agentic RL with persistent rollout and sandbox states, and deployment innovations.
Extensive evaluations show that Kimi K3 achieves frontier-level performance across long-horizon coding, agentic, knowledge, reasoning, and vision tasks. While its overall performance still trails the most powerful proprietary models, namely Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, Kimi K3 consistently outperforms other open and proprietary models evaluated in our suite. We release the full Kimi K3 model weights to facilitate future research and accelerate the broader deployment and adoption of frontier intelligence.'
