the 1.5 and 2.0 flash models were absolute beasts. They were very cheap, and _very_ fast. We contemplated moving some of our fine tuned workloads to them because we would have gotten very substantial total latency reductions for our workloads.

However, they are aggressively deprecating them (OpenAI is as well), and replacing with newer models. These newer models are all reasoning models, and importantly, only bear the flash name. They are not fast. And they are very expensive!

very cool! not sure if something is broken, but there seems to be no data past 2019 on any of the queries that i can see

As a Canadian I see little reason for optimism

Yeah, I have been seeing lots of comments, tweets, etc, but given everything I have learned about these models - i do not think the change to 1M was innocuous. I'm not sure what they've claimed publicly, but I'm fairly certain they must be doing additional quantization, or at minimum additional quantization of the KV cache. Plus, sequence length can change things even when not fully utilized. I had to manually re-enable the "clear context and continue" feature as well.

i feel like i misunderstand the UI - it seems to show coalition strikes mostly being intercepted? or does the bottom row refer to strikes against coalition forces?

The reflexive and moralistic anti-AI takes are starting to get more annoying than the actual AI slop

the stacked changes support, for me, was an absolute game changer. the auto rebasing, etc, is -really- nice. i found it especially useful for Gitops type stuff where you have to make lots of little PRs

The iPhones autocorrect is one of my biggest frustrations coming from Android a few years ago. The biggest frustration for me is the tendency to correct the _second to last word_. I have never gotten used to this. I know i can stop it by "clicking" on the word instead of hitting space - but that feels slow and bad.

awesome! i was just looking at a bucket full of parquet files from last year trying to recall some things about them.

i tried to install with brew, but it told me my cli tools were "too out of date". Never seen that before! and also just upgraded.

Will try again tomorrow

thanks! glad to know its getting fixed. if i have any notes ill send them your way!

Cool app!

I think I found a broken problem (or it’s worded strangely?) and I’m unable to progress beyond it

“Pick 2 that beat villain on board”

“QQ552”

In submitting Queen and 2 to make a full house but it just says

“Incorrect. Two pair on board. Win with a full house or ace kicker”

There is a podcast, Memory Hole, about the recovered memory movement. There is a lengthy section about this book and the people behind it (not positive)

This is happening everywhere where I live (Vancouver)

I think it should fairly clear why I'm curious, as the article mentions

> Although it’s typically not viewed as a partisan board, the Biden administration had installed the entire committee.

After some degree of googling the history of ACIP I had not found any explanation and thought maybe someone here(who is actually American and maybe follows this kind of thing more closely?) would just know

Looks like there are actually some comments now that are more clarifying.

> Are you just asking questions to smokescreen for this executive power grab?

I’m just trying to understand the background. I get that this is a sensitive topic, but I’d ask that we keep things civil and give people the benefit of the doubt when they’re asking honest questions.
