Yes. I have to observe: Seeing the raw CoT is the best signal for evaluating prompt efficiency. The fact that frontier providers don’t share this feels criminal after this last weekend. They’ve played us all for fools. Thanks for the toke

Thank you. This is the hackernews I miss.

FWIW, I’m not dead ended yet. Using frontier providers to manage prompt tuning experiments has been very exciting. Might be something there.

Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to get into more detail, but I spent the whole weekend working these problems and then constructing this post. Dario’s behavior this weekend made me feel like this just needed to get out quick. In the fut

I mean this respectfully: I am no longer and will never again be interested in Bill Gates’ opinion about anything. He needs to retire. He’s a sclerotic representative of what needs to be left behind. Thank you for your contributions, Bill

"complete wheel-spinning nonsense that was OpenRAN" is a concise summary of 3-5 years of cargo-cult telco innovation.

Hi Telco nerds! It's looking like 3GPP is shifting away from faster networks and into networks that are programmable, energy-budgeted platforms. Anybody doing experiments with components where power is transmitted by a transport provid

Dvorak's curmudgeonly approach to tech journalism was deeply enjoyable. He was utterly un-sycophantic and a playful troublemaker. Condolences to his wife, family and fellow podcasters.

Thank you for sharing this observation. I had a post on here this week that was briefly popular. There were numerous folks who posted that the material “wasn’t new.” I felt like it should be implicit that people who already know what I was

Reading these comments is so harrowing. You are correct in my intentions on this post generally. I want to highlight: I want to measure performance of the LLMs over time- which includes assessing the quality of their outputs. I don’t perce

I want to measure performance drift over time. Having access to the reasoning text and output would help with performance measurement.

It’d be nice to see some example code. Good writeup otherwise!

Hey! Cool idea! I was lamenting the state of advertisements in biblehub and biblegateway and thought it’d be nice to see something like what you’ve done. Where are you pulling your datasets from? Is there a Strong’s dataset available for

‘The United States’ foreign router ban didn’t make a whole lot of sense, and today may not change that.` ??? No obvious reason? What if the Executive Branch is a dog chasing cars? It’s just doing things.

I think it’s unwise because Model reliability is transient. When the models have an off day, the workflows you’ve grown to depend upon fail. When you’re completely dependent on Anthropic for not only execution but troubleshooting- you’re d

I’ve been building my own version of this. It’s a bit shocking to see parallel ideation. FWIW- IMO, being locked into a single model provider is a deal breaker. This solution will distract a lot of folks and doom-lock them into Anthropic.

It may be possible that this has changed. Last year I built a device and crashed into the bridging weirdness when I wanted to use upstream dhcp. There was/is some funkiness lurking with bridging wifi to Ethernet- in particular with b
