Important to note is that what is being measured here is the ability of the models not of the chat tools themselves, which combine model completions with other tools that the models can call upon. The mainstream labs already know this abo

You do you. Just carry on blacksmithing in your forge. People are always going to need swords right? Any seismic changes to society that change that fact can only be the result of evil, selfish people which surely someone else will put a st

> I don't care if it's "intelligent", I don't care if it "has a mind"... Agreed. The AI is useful for the particular tasks that it proves itself useful for. And if it occasionally spits out a claim that

True, that’s why I didn’t have a single Fable thread running for the whole time. Each phase had its own orchestrator that ran about 4-5h, in Fable or Opus depending on complexity, delegating to sub agents along the way - they had tasks brok

I love the way people romanticise this hippie utopian idea of “The Internet” like it wasn’t originally built by, and for, the US Military

Models are already good enough. Last week I had Fable plan out a project that took approx 4 days end to end with each phase orchestrated by a supervisor agent delegating individual tasks to other agents, coordinating everything and checking

One piece of anecdata: after first getting into Claude Code and then discovered the Claude app I briefly got excited about using it in voice chat mode, demonstrated this to my Austrian wife who found it immediately cool then of course asked

I mean, technically it was built for "the management of general information about accelerators and experiments at CERN". The fact that it also supports a whole bunch of peoples' passion projects as well as a multi-trillion do

Sorry you're struggling. There are tons of resources out there from people who've been through the same pain and built up techniques to mitigate them. Matt Pocock's YouTube channel is one good starting place, there are many o

Don’t they have Haftpflichtversicherung in Germany? Set up as a sole trader, get good-enough liability insurance, send invoices on Day 1, earn actual money while you wait for however long it takes to get that elusive company registration se

As soon as you work in a team, it’s irrelevant whether the project actually needs it. There will be someone who convinces stakeholders that it is necessary and then you just have to fall in line and learn the skills knowing that it is mos

I guess if you have a subscription with a token allowance that you are not going to use up this week, it’s better to let someone else use those tokens rather than throwing them away. So using the food analogy it’s more like a store giving a

Absolutely true - witness the enormous upheaval in the north of England’s coal mining communities when all the pits got closed in the 1980s. It wasn’t just individuals but families across generations and entire villages who had defined them

Off topic but: the scroll mechanism on mobile is so horribly irritating and unpredictable that I just can’t be bothered fighting against it to read what sounds like at least a mildly interesting article.

> Where so many see it as the key to a bright future, unlocking untold troves of wisdom, it simply regurgitates… This needs one of those Wikipedia style [Who?] tags in superscript. I don’t think anyone, at least here on HN, sees AI as an

Yes but Anglo-Catholic doesn’t mean an Anglo who is Catholic. It means an Anglican who is pretending to be Catholic but without acknowledging the pope’s authority.

Also, Mrs Trump is Catholic and in the past they made a big deal out of being photographed with Pope Francis to appeal to Catholic voters.

That was my initial thought too on seeing the title, having never heard the term before. So I decided to look it up and it turns out there is a whole separate genre called “ANSI art” based on a different tech stack and a naming mistake from

Who creates value in the art market? Is it the artist who creates the work? Or the dealer who persuades the buyers that the work has value? As a builder I’m attracted to the fantasy that I can create value with my bare hands just by writing

I find one possible answer to the question “How to make yourself actually do it” is to start by getting into the routine of keeping an engineering notebook - if you are already in the habit of jotting down stream-of-consciousness notes on w

No it's not. It's because the meaning of the English word "prove" has changed. It used to mean "test", which could of course have a positive or negative outcome. The modern sense of "successfully demonstra

While you’re at it call Netflix and tell them that marrying a European prince at Christmas isn’t a viable option for most big city career girls. Fiction must be realistic at all times with no idealism or escapism, got it.

> it's not ideal is it? Oh jeez, I've literally just typed out a message on Teams to describe a situation where someone deployed breaking DB changes without the accompanied app changes as "a less-than-ideal scenario".
