It makes sense if they let them fail, but note the system is not that the ccp broadly backs them. Each state backs their own set, and if they fail that state loses the jobs/favtories/etc. so there is a lot of friction for letting them fail.

They also had a 22% decrease in sales domestically YoY this past year. The only thing keeping a bunch of those brands around is state sponsorship.

That’s only true of street side shares. And unlike cede shares vs direct registrations you can’t treat tokens as fungible with direct ownership.

Look at swap contracts. They are pretty standard financial agreements that are just otc agreements between 2 parties and they are frequently pegged to an exchange traded price with none of the underlying contract obligations.

Tokenization is and of the tech isn’t sketchy at all. That it’s mostly used to get around the regulations something like swap contracts are for is.

I’m not sure where you are getting your sources but the reporting that the Times and Post won the Pulitzer for was validated by both the Mueller report, Congressional investigations and 2 different reviews by the Pulitzer board.

Rather than moving on from this the Pulitzer Board is vigorously defending their decision in court as we speak.

There certainly hasn’t been a retraction. You’ll also note Trump never sued the papers over their coverage.

The same compiler will convert source to binary in different ways! Hermetic builds are hard!

Even if we allow for hermetic builds in some cases in many many other cases your runtime will recompile your code based on its observations about your environment and that’s frequently what we want.

This fetishism of “determinism” seems crazy to anyone that has had to spend time really digging into modern JIT based compilation.

Not disagreeing with you just curious if you can cite sources for my own research.

In most threaded Internet forums when you respond to a thread you are implying a continuation of the previous conversation.

It seems you weren’t following that norm and we were talking past each other. That’s fine and I’m happy to leave it at that.

Perhaps in the future you can recognize the local norms before resorting to personal attacks even if those norms are different than the parts of the internet you normally hang out in.

> By definition an LLM is unable to build what has never been built before because you are going outside the realm of pretraining/RL

That’s pretty hard to read differently. Can you add the nuance I’m missing?

Your argument is that advanced mathematics, that did not solve navier stones, were in the weights and that enabled them to solve it. And you think it butresses the argument that the llms can’t do _coding_ tasks they haven’t seen before?

It is, and always has been, data contracts. Which is why the hyperscalars are a more likely candidate to take American frontier business than Chinese vendors.

I can click a button in Azure foundry and run open weight models that are approved through my compliance and procurement teams.

I don’t know how open sourcing this stuff helps deepseek but it means I’m getting ever better and cheaper models so I’m fine with it.

Did you read the article? WhatsApp are claiming that’s steering their own agent is exactly who it is for. And they removed that when they found a better way to steer it.

You can decide you don’t believe that but it’s in the article so acting like it’s not a topic of discussion is on you.

They are not required to suggest you delete their account in their chatbot.

That’s a hard position to defend in the face of navier stokes

It’s a complicated legal area and it changes. The SEC prior to the current Trump administration took an extremely broad view of it and included all kinds of unintuitive relationships.

But the obvious one is if you are an employee of a company you owe the shareholders of the company due to your employment.
