Github's uptime getting stray bullets, I see.

I read a few month ago a comment from an Anthropic or OpenAI employee saying that the security problem of prompt injection was a solved problem at this point, as the frontier models where rejecting 98% of attacks.

It tells you all you need to know about how unserious these people are about computer security.

It's nice to see more storage being added, but we have keep thr order of magnitude in mind: the peak electricity demand for the US is 750GW, so the added storage for the past 3 month corresponds to just 96 seconds of peak consumption.

There's still a very long way to go !

> I think the names are more of a reference to price. Luna is always cheaper than terra which is cheaper than Sol which is cheaper than Astra

Per token, yes. But per task it's not even necessarily the case depending on how much thinking is needed.

> Put another way Anthropic has committed 52 billion dollar a year

Idk where you got this figure from, but the actual figure are very different from that:

It's 120B over four years for SpaceX alone and 120B for Broadcom over 6 years. These two players, representing less than half of the total commitment, already give you an annual commitment above 50B.

I don't think they are betting on that many people subscribing to their $200/mo plan, there's pretty much no upside in using a frontier model for the average consumer.

But on the flip side I don't think aiming for 1M businesses spending $40k a month in token in average is going to be more viable. And I'm not sure having 1000 corporations spending $40M a month is a option either.

Interestingly enough the “before it was cheap” version was distributed for free when this one is for sale for half the price of the game this is supposed to run on.

The other criticisms are valid but this one is too much:

> No comparison to astra/6.1 sol/fable 5.1/opus 5.5

I mean, should a 27B model beat Fable 5 but not Fable 5.1 that would still be an incredible achievement.

Interestingly enough, Libya did in fact bomb France two decades before France bombed Libya, via the multiple terrorist proxy Gaddafi financed.

That's irrelevant to the point.

I'm pretty sure it's actually anti correlated: not because degoogled Androids are safer by themselves, but because the average user is way savier than the average Joe (which have an out of date Android full of unpatched security vulnerabilities, in the first place).

> It's calorie-dense and high in sodium?

There's plenty of real food that is as heavy and as salted, and as such no healthier, than junk food. But it actually tastes good. (I can't exactly put the finger on what makes an Italian pizza better than a US 7/11 one, but it's not about the former being healthier).

> Are you saying people unfamiliar with the 'pixel arts' can't enjoy it their own way?

The problem isn't that they look shitty to pixel artists or experts, they look shitty for anyone with a bit of observation.

It's junk art the same way Mc Donald's is junk food.

> Marginal value (which is the relevant measure) of Hydro is not zero, because the used water has a potential value in the future when it could have been used instead.

That only describe a small fraction of hydro power: the majority of hydro in the world is “Run-of-the-river”, which means it has little storage capacity if any.

> Any power-source which can move its production has this feature, independently of renewability.

Not really. For instance, Nuclear gives you the illusion of marginal price because you can think of the cost of the uranium rods, which will be consumed faster or slower depending on your supply, but in practice your maintenance (which are also when the fuel replacement happens) are planned years in advance and are mostly paced by a mix regulatory constraints and staffing needs (your maintenance experts are in limited supply in the country, and you want to keep them busy, so you make sure the maintenance of your park is well ordered with minimal overlaps. Source: my wife makes the long terms plan nuclear maintenance at EDF, here in France).

> This is not just theoretical, it has happened in the European power market.

I know, but this has nothing to do with the question, which is in fact theoretical (“equilibrium prices” are a purely theoretical concept).

> But the equilibrium still exists.

Nope, not in the meaning of this word in the classical model (i.e. the intersection of the marginal cost curve and the demand curve).

What exists is a market price, but it's not the “equilibrium price”, and it cannot be because it doesn't exist in this setting.
