@leothecurious @willdepue This. Big compound exercises targeting back and legs work best. Another thing to try is Cyclic Ketogenic Diet (CKD). You'll be ready to eat any small creature that moves by the weekend refeed.

@willdepue lift more weights. the more muscle u grow the larger ur appetite becomes, and then the larger appetite allows for better muscle growth, and so the flywheel begins.

@prerat Batching doesn’t only mean different people. If you have tasks that need to run tens of thousands of LLM calls you can still run vLLM on your own hardware and get high sustained utilization.

sooo this means that local compute is extremely cost ineffective and if you want to avoid lock-in, you should use commoditized open models but still on some cloud provider who is batching requests for that 1000x cost reduction ... right?? (from latest dwarkesh podcast)

@AaronBergman18 I use 2.6 and now v4 extensively, every day, despite having unlimited Claude and Codex for professional use. I can’t imagine anyone who heavily uses both American and Chinese models believing that Chinese models are actually 8 months behind. Maybe 4?

My sense is essentially 0% of LLM users people unless you have a lot of money some very specific finetuning use case that can’t be accomplished without actual weight modification for whatever reason

Yes and no. Her parents came first. She told me as much multiple times. She expected them to live with us and have basically no boundaries. But ... MIL is South Asian, FIL is white dude from a small town but worked abroad for US gov. FIL is socially awkward, predator vibes, inappropriate sexual remarks. Abandoned his family several times to live solo in Thailand. MIL and FIL visibly hate each other. Yet MIL and my wife trip over each other to serve him and make him comfortable. MIL dumped his weird ass on us when his health started failing (he couldn't live in Thailand alone anymore, wouldn't live with wife - and their servants and driver). Biggest red flag? South Asian culture is that wife moves into husband's family NOT the inverse. That's actually taboo. So the "it's my culture" was fig leaf bullshit.

This is the reality of how an increasing number of men view marriage - and seeing the BS happening in too many marriages, it’s not hard to blame them. Husbands putting up with wives doing the bare minimum - if they even do that at all - is feeding the “marriage is for cucks” mindset. The optics won’t change until husbands at scale start setting expectations and enacting consequences when those expectations aren’t met. I understand the very real financial fallout husbands fear that prevents them from enacting consequences such as leaving if a wife refuses to put good faith effort into a marriage the husband enjoys, just as the wife expects the husband to do the same for her. But here’s the thing: the fact you fear the power your wife has to harm you via the state plays a significant role in your fears becoming reality. There are without a doubt some bad wives out there no matter how great a leader their husband is. But I personally believe most wives are capable of being great wives under the leadership of a husband who refuses to accept any BS from her or himself. My challenge to the rest of the husbands out there is to prove “marriage is for cuck simps” is a lie rather than validating it by allowing your wives to lead from the backseat in the interest of “financial safety.” “F*ck it” - you are going to do what you know needs to be done in the best interests of having a marriage you enjoy being in as much as your wife enjoys being in - the potential consequences be dammed. -R

@TC36489185 @aruvinchan Or the morons who recommend marriage to others in their posts/lives. Extremely dangerous proposition in the modern age.

@HimboWisecrack @rob_avis_ramble “Travel abroad to see parents” makes me wonder if there was just some fundamental cultural incompatibility contributing?

This is a tough one. My marriage was rough for a few years. Wife screamed and broke things. Told me her parents were more important than me. Always complained I never did enough. I did *a lot*, far more than most men - cooking, kids lunches, groceries, drop off, laundry (mine+son's). Anyway after a huge screaming fight about spending $20K to travel abroad to see her parents (2nd time in 6mo, 3mo before they were scheduled to visit us) our marriage wasn't the same. I made one last push over Valentine's day. Dinner, jewelry, fun date - the works. Wife left me a couple gradeschool ish notes. After that I told my wife I felt like I was doing nine tenths of the effort to preserve our marriage. I told her I can do 5-6, sometimes 7 but not forever. She said she would "meet me at 9 tenths" but not go further. I asked if she would invest in the marriage or not. She wouldn't answer me. I gave her 24h. She never answered. After that it was over. I could never be with someone who had such apathy and entitlement. Who treated me like a roommate with money. Separation and divorce are an identity shock and a huge financial drain. But invalidated and rejected and used is a slow death. You shrink and eventually lose yourself completely.

@scaling01 @thdxr I suggest you actually read the CAISI cost comparison methodology before vomiting out so many words about how the token cost is higher. Their methodology is garbage and is one they explicitly criticized in the past and they say proper analysis is forthcoming.

@tszzl Like Beijing, Paris has changed to be almost unrecognizable from the first time I visited each place. But both places still know how to riot better than anywhere in America. Paris lighting cars on fire for any reason at all and BJ illegal fireworks at CNY.

@bubbling_creek @TheZvi The whole argument rests on “if they could have they would have”, which seems clearly false to me. Panic marketing oneself into quasi-nationalization is a Dario M.O. and is opposite of OAI M.O.

Okay, since people seem to be not understanding the distinction here, I'll spell it out. They are not the same. Mythos can, on its own, discover lots of new vulnerabilities, because it is capable of navigating and exploring on its own and stringing these things together. It doesn't need to be told exactly what to do, it can figure out what to do. GPT-5.5 is at least as good as Mythos on 'narrow cyber tasks' as per UK AISI, but they have to be narrow. You need to know what it is you want done. That's valuable, but it's not at all the same thing, and far less dangerous. If OpenAI could have compiled and fixed a similar stream of bugs in the world's most important software, at similar compute cost, I presume that they would have. Indeed, GPT-5.5-Cyber exists, and yet the White House is objecting to Anthropic expanding deployment of Mythos. You think they're doing this for no reason? Meanwhile, the whole 'everyone will have it in six months' is the usual pretending that the situation is much closer than it is, although of course on a long enough time horizon the point stands.
David Sacks@DavidSacks

It’s time to demystify Mythos. Mythos is not magic. It’s not a doomsday device. It’s the first of many models that can automate cyber tasks (just like coding). OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-cyber can now do the same. And all the frontier models (including those from China) will be there within approximately 6 months. It’s important to recognize that these models do not create vulnerabilities; they discover them. The bugs are already in the code. Using AI to discover and patch them will actually harden these systems. The leap from pre-AI cyber to post-AI cyber means that there will be a big upgrade cycle. After that, however, the market is likely to reach a new equilibrium between AI-powered cyber-offense and AI-powered cyber-defense. Obviously it’s important that cyber defenders get access before cyber attackers. That process is already underway but needs to happen quickly (see point above about Chinese models). Unlike Mythos, GPT-5.5-cyber appears not to be token constrained so it may be the first cyber model that defenders actually get to use.

@S_OhEigeartaigh @TheZvi For some reason you have chosen to exclude the reason that was articulated in the reporting on the topic and which is most parsimonious: Anthropic is in a severe compute crunch and the government doesn’t want to compete with other entities for quota.

>Indeed, GPT-5.5-Cyber exists, and yet the White House is objecting to Anthropic expanding deployment of Mythos. You think they're doing this for no reason? I'm going 85% "because mythos is good", 10% "because WH hates Anthropic and at this point messing with them is just trained reflex by now", 5% "doing this for no reason". Which I think is actually quite generous to them.

@ShakeelHashim Like, he didn’t claim Huawei had more than OpenAI or GDM and reading the way you apparently have requires an aggressive level of stupidity. I assume his other points about HBM etc also completely eluded you.

@ShakeelHashim This is cope. That production level is indeed more compute than Anthropic is known to have, and production rate has doubled in less than 12 months and continues to increase. And Jensen’s point was that China will ramp if we force them to, not that they currently exceed US labs.
