do LLMs have knowledge of their own token boundaries?
here deepseek claims to be counting per-token in an array. is it correct?
you could RL this, right? is there any point in doing so?

this was an interesting one to write. I am very optimistic about the economic upsides of AI. but I am having trouble seeing how the valuations currently are unworkably high.
I would love to be wrong. see what you think:

We're currently in the biggest game of the Dollar Auction ever created. Each new frontier model represents a bid, whose cost is paid for at the time that it is trained. But the AI market is a most-capable winner-take-most game.

bsky was appealing to me because of its incredible technological foundation. fascinating to me that so many other people are here that seem to have no idea how it’s different from x dot com
this is a feature of bluesky. it’s a decentralized platform, meaning my data is mine, and your data is yours, and none of it belongs to bluesky. so they literally do not have the power to stop anyone from adding anyone else to a list. It’s a good thing and prevents censorship

My father-in-law is a programmer. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at Hypercard together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer...
"We can't, we don't know how to do it."
"We can't, we don't know how to do it."
