Surprised this is not bigger on HN, seems like a pretty big deal that Ilya Sutskever is claiming what sounds like a breakthrough. I expect that within the next 12 months they should release something significant with that compute.

Can you share some links/references?

same — that was an unexpected little moment on HN. Honestly appreciated the answer as it caused me to stop and examine the phrase I've been using/hearing without never really thinking about it.

What's everyone's experience with modern PF in production? Also, not to start a holy war, but what people think about modern PF vs nftables? I've only ever used nftables (and only in fairly simple scenarios) but I've always been curious about the PF side of the world.

Thanks, I'll reach out!

Re AIQ, I've actually built a couple of devices myself (using different sensors, plantower being the most popular one, but I've played with sensiron and others as well) but I've mostly focused on the PM monitoring.

The sockets that have strange "smell" are actually on the (inside) wall that is the building boundary (i.e. not a wall with a neighbour — these sockets don't "smell"). Still, it's a bit shocking to me that this could happen. Do you know how the humidity "got" onto your wall? How were you able to find out? I'm pretty early in my mini "investigation".

Can you add an email to your profile, so I can reach out to learn more? I'm really into air quality and been trying to improve conditions in my apartment. You mentioned that

> Generally learn about diffusion in wall construction materials and figure out where organic material is used in your house. If organic material is next to something that limits diffusion (plastic, foam, metal, concrete, cement, paint) it is a possible point of water condensation and mold growth.

which is super interesting — I've found a couple of electrical sockets in my apartment which have a very strange smell, similar to soil/mold (I've confirmed that with other people, just to reduce the chance that I'm crazy). I'm still trying to investigate/fix the issue, and it seems that you know more about that, would love to learn from you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, very interesting!

Imagine reading that pre 2008 (creation of bitcoin) — what kind of crypto scam could president run?!

Curious about the deal value/price — any clues whether it was just to make existing investors even (so say up to $30M) or are we talking some multiple? But if it's a multiple, even 2x sounds a bit crazy.

Thanks for that context. Was your expectation/prediction about that tech that it was going to happen in say 2000s or sooner/later?

Self-flying cars? I wonder if it's actually easier to have autonomous vehicles operating in 3D than in "2D".

I didn't know about these ads, thanks for sharing! Can't imagine how people reacted to that when they aired — the things they described sound so "normal" today, I wonder if it was seen as far fetched, crazy or actually expected.

Solid post, thanks for sharing. Zitron occupies his own echo chamber. I've seen some people share links to his articles with a smirk as a "proof" of how "bullshit LLMs are" — and I know for a fact that they have no understanding of LLMs or how to evaluate limitations, saying nothing about unit economics. Sadly, I don't think it's possible to reason with them.

To be clear, I do expect that the bubble will burst at some point (my bet is 2028/2029) — but that's due to dynamics between markets and new tech. The tech itself is solid, even in the current form — but when there's a lot of money to make you tend to observe repeatable social patterns that often lead to overvaluing of the stuff in question.

Does anyone know how skills relate to subagents? Seems that subagents have more capabilities (e.g. can access the internet) but seems that there's a lot of overlap.

I've asked Claude and this it answered this:

  Skills = Instructions + resources for the current Claude instance (shared context)
  Subagents = Separate AI instances with isolated contexts that can work in parallel (different context windows)
  Skills make Claude better at specific tasks. Subagents are like having multiple specialized Claudes working simultaneously on different aspects of a problem.

I imagine we can probably compose them, e.g. invoke subagents (to keep separate context) which could use some skills to in the end summarize the findings/provide output, without "polluting" the main context window.

Yeah, that's my main bottleneck too. Constantly at 90%+ RAM utilization with my 64GiB (VMs, IDEs etc.). Hoping to go with at least 128GiB (or more) once M5 Max is released.
