Every time I hear someone say that software is successful in spite of something I find that looking harder shows some interesting choices. If this software succeeds despite the manifest failures that are pointed out here, that’s a sign that

But you can’t and the reason that you care also has to do with the same production process. It’s not like a separate company made the terminal app versus the model. If we think that the desktop app is bad, but the model is good then that’s

20,000 is the most this will ever cost.

Strange how whenever there is an outage in these tools a forum devoted to people better than them lights up immediately.

Think of this as an algebraic jewelers loupe. Zoom in on local structure and push aside the global. It’s fascinating.

It is deeply hilarious to watch software engineers become, at long last, bikeshedders.

What kind of phone does your grownup have?

Well there the cost plays a part! It’s not independent. If I can build 1000 missiles for every 1 interceptor, the probability of interception hardly matters. This actually was why we planned to put lasers in space: the economics of one nucl

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_bomber_will_always_get_thr... That’s the steady state. Interceptors are expensive; missiles are (relatively) cheap. There’s no sine wave or cat and mouse game. If you’re trying to defe

I don’t know if it is dishonest. What I do know is that it will only save you time if you have a very specific and testable need. Otherwise it will appear to save time and produce something that you won’t be proud of.

None of us are jumping out of the pot. We will boil happily. An argument to the contrary needs to look outside.

Well, it works with humans just fine.

I’m sorry that you find the modal experience in reading groups to be bad? It seems like the reading group that the OP put together was really successful. Most are not. That’s not really the fault of someone else for sharing their experience

Post a network recording of that page loading from a code start on your machine. I’ll believe chrome devtools.

I dunno. You can hear the same spiel on any city bus in the us, but the guy giving it isn’t rich. How come the whole “world government” thing doesn’t set off tiny alarm bell for you? It’s the politics version of reading a math paper that su

Historically it's always been the folks saying "democracy is a liability" who are real sweethearts.

This is probably bad but as another comment noted most people don’t understand how bad it is right now. I’ll give you an example: you might’ve heard the word “Cocomelon,” because it’s one of the most popular children’s television programs i

So, they have to do anything special to those models in order to get them to regurgitate ~ 100%? Any special prompts they needed to use to get sonnet to cough that up? What is the real copyright risk of there being an arcane procedure to so

by adampunk 7mo ago
This must be why all of these copyright plaintiffs are having tremendous days in court! If even half of this were correct, they wouldn’t be losing in summary judgment. We have yet to see a single judgment come down against a model maker for

>What specifically is different now, such that for some reason it's harder to jump in now than it was before? Well, the obvious evidence that something is different now is all around us. It's been made with painful seriousness

by adampunk 7mo ago
I don't think this argument is a winner. It fails on a few grounds: First, unless you can point to regurgitation of memorized code, you're not able to make an argument about distribution or replication. This is part of the problem

I'm saying that there's a cost to waiting, just like there's a cost to jumping in early. The cost is SPECIFICALLY that it is harder to jump in to a mature field with its own jargon and concerns. The assumption I think folks a

Do you have an anthropic API key with money attached to that account? Do you think most people who have a subscription to Claude code have an API key for Anthropic and have money attached to that that they’re ready to spend? Do you think th

by adampunk 7mo ago
You don't go after OpenCode because they allow for arbitrage. You go after them because they can decouple your model from your brand.

by adampunk 7mo ago
Here's one possibility: Anthropic understands the value of the brand and the harness and that those two things are connected, specifically because they came from behind. OpenAI almost accidentally launched a global brand overnight. Cha
