wow totally forgot about nearlyfreespeech. so glad they're still around. wonderful host.


Ah, also Newgrounds


How do people mentally price things. I'm on the fringe but I'm willing to pay $60 for a AAA 60 hour game that I'm positive I won't finish but am find if I get 6-10 hours out of it.


I love reading Gwern. This seems like a really ambitious project, but guaranteeing some of these things like trustworthiness and security behind a private company is a bit sus. Later on they make military use a selling point for GA. Maybe I'm a bit of a cynic but the division of USA values are increasingly dividing each year. Assuming that our values and principals today will not be the values and principals of tomorrow. And that those values taught today (or even yesterday) will be left out of the context window tomorrow.

EDIT: tbh, some of this reads as satire now.


For all of these things, then what's the point of having a humanoid robot then? The last thing is a folding laundry bot that I would happily also pay $1000 for.


> folding laundry robot

This is my dream for a house chore robot. If I could dump hampers of clothes into a receptacle and get stacks of folded clothes out, I’d happily pay $1k. Household of 5; my kids each produce 3-4 sets of clothes a day (sleep, school, sports, after school). I run wash in AM so dryer finishes before 3pm (pg&e ToU) and then I’m focused on other things for rest of day. More often than not, I get to bed to find a near full hamper of clothes dumped where I sleep and then have to sort/fold/deliver. Bonus points if robot can sort different items to different stacks/bundles.

I don’t need AI/robotics to save me time from having to think, research, or code… I need AI/robotics to save me time so I can think, research, or code.


A foldimate costs a fraction of your $1k.


And is vapourware. They went bankrupt in 2021 after failing to make it work and the domain is run by scammers.


My wife hates having other people in our house and we both hate cleaning. If it worked, we’d drop $5k no problem. It’ll be $5k and a $50/mo sub? Sold!


What is the true purpose of our existence?


That is a very good question, perhaps without an objective answer. But it's definitely not a 9-5 job, at least for me.


Yes, but they won't say that. Instead they will say _too Chinese, too communist, too national security-y_


They usually say it has "ties" to the Chinese military. Meanwhile, every big tech from Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Anthropic, and a ton of smaller corporations directly supply the US military.


I mean, usually people saying this are politician's so you must at least assume they are hypocritical or lying in some way.

Needless to say, I'm not surprised that they are trying to block them.


I use Claude at work and burn tokens at a regular rate on a huge monorepo. If I'm using heavy skills, these burn up pretty quickly.

At home, I have a pretty simple project and pay $20 for Deepseek which has lasted me more than 2 weeks with pretty heavy usage.

I know my cost at work is something like $500-$1000+ per month, and I have found negligible difference with a $20 Deepseek usage based pricing.


If your Claude at work API costs are $1000, that will comfortably fit in a $100 Claude Max 5x subscription at home. You could probably get about $400 worth on the $20 subscription. Just FYI if you wanted to be able to have similar Claude usage at home.

But it sounds like the $20 DeepSeek is working for you, and it's good to try new models, so just sharing info if it helps!


Depends on the task. The dumber the model the more you need to cut up the task into smaller chunks.

Also, if you’re using deepseek it’s worth checking out opencode go ($10 for $60 of equivalent api pricing is a good deal).


To be fair, you're comparing different use cases


I think the meaning is that because we can see success with KRAS mutation of pancreatic cancer, we can now begin clinical trials for other cancers that may have KRAS mutation (colorectal, lung) and see if there is success there. If there is success in treating other cancers during clinical trials, it could be fast tracked through FDA to be more generally available and then become part of the national treatment option (ideally in 1-5 years after clinical trials).


was just thinking how I'd like to have multiple chat boxes like for AIM vs a tabbed experience like with all chat clients now
