This blog post made it more difficult than it should to find the actual tool (needed to click twice! abysmal, really): https://github.com/specula-org/Specula Ran it on my tricky caching changes and it found bugs the st

OTOH if you’re developing a service with a frontend and a backend you are firmly in the distributed system territory even if you only have one user, so it doesn’t have to work all the time; it’s enough if it works approximately more often t

expectation: in the real world the CLI will be replaced by an agent prompt and to get to the shell you'll have to ask 'get me bash dammit'

the machines this is designed for are stupid. this makes them less stupid. do not anthropomorphize. I can see this being useful when feeding raw table dump csvs into models, isomorphism means it's a simple pre-post processing step whic

each model is different and nothing should be taken for granted, run your evals for your use cases. I'm not using Opus 4.7 for almost anything. I've seen very good improvements in GPTs since 5.2 and Opus 4.5 to 4.6 was quite an up

Not op but just look at HN posts in the last couple weeks: supply chain worms, zero-day LPEs for all OSes seemingly every other day, researchers on X and here openly saying they’ve got more valid findings than they know what to do with

It’s surprisingly hard to design a useful language which isn’t Turing-complete, so it should be seen as a compliment, not a problem to fix

People have been self medicating with shrooms and salvia since prehistoric times, perhaps reconsider what is novel?

Replace ‘CTF’ with ‘high school’ or ‘university’ and you’ve described the total slow motion collapse of education; the only saving grace is that most of it requires in person presence. We’ve figured out the human replacement pipeline it see

not necessarily. it might just as well be 'time is money'.

Open weights will remain open only if they’re significantly worse than the frontier weights. Before you challenge with benchmarks, consider the labs which release open weight models have internal testing and unpublished results.

And yet it seems that 90% are happily paying for the marginal 10% capability and saturate datacenters.

I’m flocking from GPT to opus every week for the past 3 months and always come back. The point isn’t that gpt is better, it’s that it is so much better for my work it isn’t even sticky, it’s reinforced concrete. I use opus 1% of the time

no such thing as closed source software anymore, just fully open and not quite fully open nowadays.
