Cruft complaints aside, what are people actually doing about this? Claude's prose output is becoming incomprehensible as its coding skill increases, and the concepts it needs to express are becoming more complex as it can handle more c

Is that including cache reads? It seems improbable that (a) you actually filled 1000 1M contexts and (b) OpenAI allowed that in a $100 subscription window.

What is it a license for, though? Copyright? Are model weights even copyrightable?

AI is big in GPU terms but in raw bytes the whole token economy is laughably tractable. Case in point: OpenRouter is serving 60T tokens a week, but this is all human text and code (and cache hits!), which is almost certainly compressible en

I won't claim strong enthusiasm for Sprites, but in my experience (albeit way back in 2021) Fly's support was absolutely top-notch, up to and including Kurt personally working with me to help debug our deployments. This was as a s

The AI sandbox play also confuses me because (aside from the fractional pay-as-you-use billing) it's trivially implemented on top of any VM/container as a service provider. Given the reduced importance of data retention (the conta

Interesting to see that Gemini (which I assume wrote this entire article and site) has the exact same over-stylized italic serif preference as Claude does.

This brought back fond memories of my favorite kebab cart in college. Looked back at their cart on Google Maps and some of the menu items are just the same image stretched differently.

I wish there were a way to universally ban these embedded browser flows. Aside from oauth they serve no use to the end user and are primarily designed to inflate company engagement numbers. Nearly every time I end up in one and forget to cl

Looking at these pages reminds me of browsing jellybean components on DigiKey. Amazing for the consumer, but one does wonder: What are all these DotAI infra companies’ plans to justify any of their valuations if they’re just selling commodi

A shocking number of devices are continuously reporting location data over random unencrypted protocols. What’s worse, they’re often sending the data to cloud IPs that aren’t even controlled by the company, so some random person is getting

That's not OP's contention though; it's that models are incapable of even surfacing sufficient information. This doesn't pass the smell test. To wit, here is ChatGPT's "superintelligent" answer: https:&#x

Am I missing something here? Bike tires are pretty much the easiest tires to change. You don’t even really need irons and it involves a few very basic steps.

Best way to go about this is just blackhole SPF so it never passes, then set your DMARC alignment to strict. This approach prevents SPF from satisfying DMARC on the vast majority of providers [1]. [1] https://taejoong.github.io&#

Per tfa vehicle size “ represents about 10 percent of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths” so the title is really a distraction from the (likely) root cause that GP brings up.

This only works if it's a proxy instead of an IP-layer tunnel. I suppose you could go a step further and validate whether the total ping is realistic, but this could be trivially solved by putting C2 close to the res-proxy endpoint.

If Anthropic is calling it distillation [1] then that would argue for it being correct (or at least canonical) terminology. [1] https://www.anthropic.com/news/detecting-and-preventing-dist...

The best part of this is that you forget you're tying your shoes differently, so when the "how the heck" moment arrives you're also surprised!

This is definitely the go-to knot over secure knot. Been using it every day for 13 years. Yes, it comes apart every so often (maybe a few times a year), but the tying time savings far outweighs those few instances.
