Human code review? What is this, 2025? The modality today is write with one LLM, review by a different one, (important: two different model families will catch errors one series won't) then deploy right to production.

"If this paint can make any surface cooler than ambient, why isn't it used everywhere?" Condensation is a serious problem, and then also the fact that seven months out of the year in temperate climates you don't want your building's exterior envelope to cool off even faster!

Specifically, oil cooled Porsches take that much, because they have to fill the oil cooler at the front and the lines that lead to the engine at the back.

Amusingly enough, someone from a frontier lab could probably answer this empirically. Years ago Microsoft demonstrated training LLMs on synthetic text-- books rewritten by LLMs to be more concise and more accurate. https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.11644 It is well known that Anthropic extensively uses synthetic text in training. You could probably get good 50tile, 90tile, 99 etc numbers just from the size of the training materials on Anthropic servers.

Mainland China also has the 996 schedule for office workers purely as a cargo cult ritual, forcing people to sit at a desk at midnight and pantomime doing work.

Stripe obviously records data around friendly fraud, (At minimum they implement Visa Compelling Evidence 3.0 https://support.stripe.com/questions/how-does-stripe-support... ) and since you did not include screenshots of the messages sent by Stripe support I suspect they were saying something carefully noncommittal and legally compliant to get you to go away, which then got spun into an outraged blog post.

Keep in mind that $275 today is the same as $140 in January 2000. Tech gadgets used to be far more expensive, both in real terms and as a percentage of average income.

Depending on how you convert synapse count to parameters, the brain also has something like a thousand trillion parameters. In that light it's pretty darn surprising that an artificial neural network can produce anything like coherent text.

Are you planning on dying before 2036? That's one estimate for when they'll run out of power.
