What are all these rote coding tasks people do that they can farm it out to lesser models?

Try Fable and make it write a ton of tests. I generally don't trust benchmarks, as they don't match my experience, but this one[1] very much does. [1] https://www.primeintellect.ai/research/nanogpt-speedrun

It's the first because we finally caught up on speed. We have it better than I imagined possible. Last year, I saw 1600 Mbit/s from the Internet at a normie's place with an ISP-provided router. Still have a cat 6 cable around

Yes, but it's also built by people who would rather tinker with AI than build MacOS apps. Intrinsic motivation is very hard to beat, especially in subtler areas like good UX or performant software.

Libertarianism has its moments but it generally hasn't caught on because state capacity is unique and useful. And virtually every last bit of it can be used to facilitate a police state because it's... a state. Sure, we could all

I didn't even know super+v on Windows. Not to sound all entitled about opensource software but can we get a screenshot on GNOME? Maybe on both?

It's hard to measure ROI so we generally wouldn't. Even McKinseys and BCGs have a hard time showing ROIs. Sure, you could say all digital transformations are nebulous snake oil and don't deliver but I just don't think th

> Usage does not correlate with valued output or ROI This sounds possible but how can we know? It could just as well correlate. Effort of all kinds correlates with success even when it's not obvious or not... linear.

There is a massive difference even between Opus and Fable, same provider, before various harnesses and other optimizations come into play. Don't be deceived by rankings and benchmarks, try for yourself.

Standard VAT in Poland is 23% so taxes usually dwarf fees.

Only the interchange is capped. The merchant has to also cover network and processor fees. And then there are some uncapped transaction supposedly so the fee covers this risk. Comes out to 0.6-0.7% for a smaller merchant with the card prese

Isn't 0.5% very competitive and basically nothing compared to taxes on the transaction? Here in Poland we have a budding "save cash" movement. And they make some good points about freedom and privacy but are the loudest about

I am definitely not impressed by Opus. Quite the opposite usually.

What's moving the goalposts? I am very much amazed at what Fable can do. I push its code straight to prod. But I am just as amazed with how little real life consequence it seems to have! Even software houses were hit more by interest r

The main reason we don't see much quality degradation in LLM writing output is because they're already poor writers. This is the load bearing reason. I was bulding a small interpreter and writing an article in ~markdown yesterday

First, it's not three years since. The real improvements in programming ability arrived in the last 6-8 months. Second, the Internet didn't show up much in GDP and similar measures either! But your point stands. Where are the amaz

They lost 18 months in decision-making, compressing their development timeline. I am not seeing it happen yet but I wonder if this will be the main AI SDLC improvement: you can analyze a ton of docs, build prototypes smoothing the decisions

There's usually a fairly small number of criminals in the population and they have short careers. Otherwise, the whole enterprise of society wouldn't be viable. So once you take them off the streets for a couple of years, or decad

Very impressive that it was done with Opus 4.8. My experiences with Opus have been such that I always max out my Fable allotment but rarely exceed 40% of the remaining limit on Claude.

The same on a smaller scale happened with modern consumer computing. We like to complain but * have OLED screens and dark modes which are amazing after sundown, * virtually everything works on Linux, especially all effectively mandatory&#x2

I find Fable completely unbeatable for anything code-related. It's the only frontier model that seems to come with sane defaults. If it implements something simple like a file export, it just knows that the file should have a meaningfu

People give him a lot of shit for these antics. The "regulate us!" cries, disaster-marketing of escaped models, now this. I am slightly annoyed to be paying for a product (Claude Max) with such eyeroll worthy marketing. But it wor

Yes, it definitely worked. I had three servers with them for years and only added a card this year because it lifted bandwidth limits on the ARM.

We created the content their systems are built on, yet they won’t even share how much energy each query uses, how much water goes to cooling "You read my blog so now show me your utility bill" is... an interesting argument.

I think the speedups and conveniences of modern IT and the Internet have been massive: I can bank from my pocket, review the best photos out of 100k+ just when riding a tram, get virtually any good produced anywhere delivered to my doorstep
