All the people saying that this is pure marketing: Do you think that they are literally lying about what happened, or do you just think that what happened doesn't matter in any sense whatsoever, and that therefore the only reason they

I will leave the following since so far all the commenters seem to have either not read the article at all, or to have at least skipped the following two sections: >The third, predictable and annoying argument is “stop overthinking it, i

There have been some pretty egregious misuses of eminent domain in the past, but using it for infrastructure is pretty much the quintessential justification. That's basically the only reason to have eminent domain at all. Arguing a

About a week ago, I set it up on my windows machine (host) to my ubuntu laptop (client) with the help of an LLM in about 30 minutes, with an additional 15 of troubleshooting the first time I tried using it away from the LAN. It was pretty p

yes, but the GarminDB [0] project still manages to get most available data by impersonating a browser (admittedly that could be broken eventually). If that happens in the future, I'll probably revisit making an entire tracking app for

I almost decided to make my own app recently (and was also considering the Pebble) to try and replicate the old basis Peak functionality, but when I found out that the Garmin health data was relatively open and accessible, l decided that it

300 Gbps? Is that typo? Unless you are connecting to some very particular infrastructure on the other one, nothing you could possibly connect to could use it, and you would need gear that would be somewhat high end even for server grade. (

I've always had a soft spot for the plan of repopulating the Great Plains with modern versions of all the extinct megafauna. We used to have camels and cheetahs and lions and more. We could import half of the African large mammals and

I was going to post a comment on a related topic (I couldn't find in the announcement if this is English only or not), but would you mind expanding? I was thinking about doing something very similar, and yeah, if the model isn't h

I'm somewhat skeptical that the cost difference would really be that high, but honestly...yeah I probably would. If what I was getting was fully physical (not capacitive) media and AC controls, including pause/play, skip/tune

I don't have the mathematical chops to really analyze this on my own. Is this a bigger deal than the fact that real world markets already violate all the theoretical assumptions (e.g. unimpeded access to new entrants, perfect informati

While I think you are accurately describing how people do/would react, the "big deal" you describe killed, injured, or caused adverse health effects for exactly zero people. It is possible that these are inevitable outcomes o

I was talking about reporting on testing and capabilities. Yes, open models provide a greater amount of information about the development of the model and how to run it yourself, but I am quite confident that literally no AI company, open o

While I'm still not sure I would characterize that as bragging, you're right that that is a fair interpretation. However, another Fair interpretation of that is something along the lines of "the downside or cost of this posit

I find it interesting how two different directly opposed messages seem to have both been interpreted as being nothing but marketing speak.

Why do you think they are bragging? Anthropic has long been the company to give us by far the most in-depth information about their models, both positive and negative. I read this as them just stating a fact about this model that users woul

The gap between grok and Gemini to Claude and chatgpt suggests that yes it is that hard.

And even if they didn't, they have a track record. Even if we did have benchmarks in this case I would still wait until people got there hands on it and formed a more holistic opinion.

"Affordable" depends on what you need. When a task is able to be achieved by two different calibers of model, it's obviously more cost effective to use the less capable model, in the same way that you wouldn't hire a mat

20 years ago, that argument would make sense. They had no competition and could do what they wanted. As an earlier comment stated: that is starting to change, and if they wait until open competitors are fully established, then it will be to

As others have commented, this is not a Framework product. That's part of the beauty: they open source there designs, allowing for third parties to easily make things like this (and much more beside). I believe at some point someone in

Exactly. I made a small package for my lab and just put it on GitHub. My guess is that many academics don't know that you can install packages from other sources than cran

How long have you been testing this? Have you noted a large improvement? I tested Opus for this quite a while ago (maybe 4.5? Whatever was out about a year ago), and it performed quite poorly on my use case.

Does anyone know of OCR benchmarks that include hand-written documents? I'm currently using Gemini pro 3 for this, and error rates are quite good, but it's a little bit pricey, and I'd be interested in a cheaper model that co

The cost is a choice. Not inherent to the power. We could choose literally any day to make it dramatically cheaper.

I'm ok with a version of this as a concept. The version being when a feature is technically present in every SKU, but requires an extra purchase to unlock. A reply to you specifically mentioned subscriptions, which I very much do not l

The person I was replying to specifically said that the Claude will "encode more knowledge" and that their problem was that they didn't like talking to Claude. It sounds like they think that Claude is at least slightly more f

Curious if you have tried custom instructions. I was never quite as unhappy with Claude's voice as you appear to be, but there were several things I didn't like. A custom prompt fixed almost all of them.
