I believe there are valid critiques to be made of prediction markets, particularly on the morality of allowing bets on events with serious/market outcomes (the market could create an incentive for an insider to actualize that bad outco

Appreciate your perspective and totally understand that at some point you just have to ship it! From the outside it looks like a bit less time on XYZ feature and bit more time on marketing polish might have been a good call. But can only sp

I appreciate the Fly.io team’s enthusiasm and am optimistic this will mature into a product I’d pay for, but my initial impression was of a lack of polish. Documentation is sparse, or not even available? The API docs don’t tell you much abo

For everyone defending these actions on the basis of Maduro's own corruption and the desires of Venezuelans, I would encourage you to research the history of American intervention and regime change in Latin America. It is impossible to

The author makes effectively the same comment that twenty minutes late is normal for Germany (below). I don’t have any statistics, but anecdotally I’ve had worse experiences with DB than in the UK. DB does not just run late, but has a bad h

There has been a lot of discussion on this recently in the blog-o-sphere. All conclusions I've seen so far are that the economy is basically fine and maybe people's expectations have risen (I'm oversimplifying). I'm also

Totally, however OP's point was that Claude had to compensate for deficiencies versus a state of the art model like ChatGPT 5.2. I don't think that's correct. Whether or not Opus 4.5 is actually #1 on these benchmarks, it is

by MrOrelliOReilly 10mo ago
Yes, I personally feel that the "official" benchmarks are increasingly diverging from the everyday reality of using these models. My theory is that we are reaching a point where all the models are intelligent enough for day-to-day

I think this is a total misunderstanding of Anthropic’s place in the AI race. Opus 4.5 is absolutely a state of the art model. I won’t knock anyone for preferring Codex, but I think you’re ignoring official and unofficial benchmarks. See:

by MrOrelliOReilly 10mo ago
I agree that it's annoying to have competing standards, but when dealing with a lot of unknowns it's better to allow divergence and exploration. It's a worse use of time to quibble over the best way to do things when we hav

I have been fighting the same bizarre quota demon. Scripts kept timing out due to quota limitations, but I haven't been able to find any indication of a limit in the console. Finally gave up and switched to Claude, since they at least

I find this a bit disingenuous. If I visit a buffet looking for a healthy snack, but 90% of the dishes are fast food, then I'll probably spend a lot of time looking through the fast food, and may even eat some as the best worst option.

As someone who has recently been fighting bugs from representing very simple math with floats... thank you!

This is incredibly useful! I was manually generating my own model comparisons last night, so great to see this :) I will note that, personally, while adherence is a useful measure, it does miss some of the qualitative differences between mo

Did you actually see the bird? Some animals make sounds that are deceptively similar to birds (ex chipmunk chirps). Merlin won’t recognize these as “not a bird”; it just doesn’t recognize the sound at all. Usual disclaimer IANABL (I am not

Completely agree. This should be well beyond accusations of corporate bullying. It's one thing to mention Legos, it's another to actively include a brand name in your product! NikeGPT, CocaColaGPT and IkeaGPT will face the same is

Yes, agreed. For me, quitting social media went hand in hand with a recognition that I maintained superficial contact with a large number of old friends. My relationship with these people was already “illusory”, or at least unsatisfying. No

Great addition! Like others, I find it helpful to review how smart people are using Obsidian and related tools to create a second brain. I know it’s popular to critique these posts as onanism when we should just “get things done”, but Obsid

So funny I missed this behavior. Maybe the feedback then is there could be more gradations/tweaking for us slowpokes out there (especially since it appears other folks missed it as well) Also I should have lead my original comment with

It'd be more fun if you somehow got "bonus points" for reducing the time between clicks. I kept playing it safe trying to time the ball but it kind of felt like cheating!

Wow. The parent comment did not state they then sifted around for personal data. They checked if there was a bug and found it. For all we know the personal data is front and center, so this rudimentary check also revealed personal informati

I assume this is snark, but misguided if so. I believe the parent comment was simply stating there are some vaccines generally with this trait, so perhaps the covid vaccines would similarly improve from a 3rd dose

I think what the author is trying to say is that if a technology is sufficiently advanced it seems like it can’t be real, meaning it’s something only possible with CGI. So we see these dancing robots, think “just more CGI”, then are astound
