I’ve noticed that the emphasis in messaging and product from Anthropic is towards monolithic agent usage rather than building systems using agents or building more specialised agents. I listened to a talk by Boris recently and his vision for the future was that “the model just knows”.

My guess is that they are trying to increase the cost of switching as much as they possibly can before the VC subsidies run out and they have to 10x their prices.


> his vision for the future was that “the model just knows”

Possibly, could also just mean that they've internalized the bitter lesson. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~eunsol/courses/data/bitter_lesson...


I’ve been using kimi 2.5/2.6 for the past 2 weeks and it’s really not far off OpenAI and Claude models. I am a coder so it’s not all vibes but I am definitely more in the “spec to code” mode than “edit this file for me” and it copes just fine. Needs a bit more supervision than the frontier models but it’s also significantly cheaper. If I were anthropic I’d be shitting myself, their prices are going to 10x over the next 2 years


So are you running Kimi on Verda?


Verda has B300 clusters, 8 for USD $55/hour in 10 minute billing blocks


Check out Verda you can rent whatever super powerful GPU clusters you need in 10 minute increments. Deploy any open weight model using SGLang and away you go


This is the most compelling "who is Satoshi?" post I've found:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=628344.msg48198887#m...

"I contend that James Simons put the team together that made up Satoshi Nakamoto and that Nick Szabo was the main public-facing voice behind the nym."


Why would he do that surreptitiously, instead of just being clear that they were working on it? Why wouldn't they cash in the million or so bitcoins that were pre-mined? How did they get the whole team to communicate in a unified style? How did they get everyone to stay quiet after Bitcoin took off?


Same, I tested Claude Code CLI and it crapped out and took my money, and they haven't responded to my billing dispute yet. Meanwhile JetBrains replies within hours and Junie is LLM agnostic. I'm a huge fan of JetBrains for AI coding.


LLM agnostic? I thought they ran their own LLM. Can you use Junie with Claude, but have your payment contact only through JetBrains?


No editorialising in the title


Uh oh did someone CVE grok or twitter?


The schema describes the database layout. The file layout (if you were going to call it that) in a modern RDBMS would describe how the RDBMS implemented a particular database layout as described by the schema.


Easy: this is political retribution.

USAID: 0.6% of the budget CFPB: 0.011% of the budget

It has nothing to do with saving money and is well beyond the executive order than instantiated the agency.

If all they do is disrupt things enough for some crypto dorks and Russians to make a play it was all worth it.


USAID was the most resistant to an audit which is why they’re getting scrutinized early. Trump literally said today on an interview aired before the superbowl that a department of defense audit is coming up and he expects it to turn up billions to hundreds of billions in waste.


What does “resistant” mean here?

It appears that they passed audit just a few months ago:

> Opinion: Williams Adley concluded that USADF’s financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, are presented fairly, in all material respects, and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

> The audit firm also found no reportable noncompliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.

> The audit firm found no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting but found deficiencies in the internal controls over the Funds Held Outside of Treasury process. We collectively identified these deficiencies as a reportable significant deficiency.

It sure looks like retaliation hit job.


There's no way that USAID was more resistant to an audit than DOD.


Why would the DoD be resistant to an audit? They've had un-auditable black budgets for decades and every time someone questions them they pull a new stealth aircraft out of their back pocket


Trump is a liar, he lies about everything. Starting a sentence with “trump said” implies that any concurrence with reality is purely coincidental.
