Yeah this is my experience as well. At first it felt empty, but then I sort of realized it’s not a quest game it’s a building game and it’s all about building bases and ships and what not, and they’re added progressively more ways to build

I’ve desperately tried to use the Claude work, ChatGPT work, even OpenClaw, and I’ve yet to find a meaningful use of such an assistant. Maybe my life is too boring, but what I see here is a bunch of stuff that makes life more complicated. I

5-1 is considerable cheaper I’ve found and feels a lot more like 4-6. But opus 5 described as a terrorist is being generous.

The provenance doesn’t matter because they settled on a difficult mathematical problem to solve because it was difficult to solve and would require clever solutions that answered more fundamental mathematical questions than the banal proble

We have a mandate to only use 4-8. Sonnet 5 is pretty good and fable 5-1 has been pretty good so far fwiw.

Unless things changed this used to work but was blocked. You also used to be able to force in a model catalog to get around the token cap. Each, as of at least April, were closed off and ineffectual. I’ve not tried lately so you may be righ

Because the question isn’t can you make a rice with 5! Sides but can you make it so 5 players can roll simultaneously individual dice with a minimal number of sides per dice and never tie and always be fair. Sure you can fly a helicopter to

Codex is missing a few things that Claude code has had for some time like defined plugin subagents and a few other things. But overall it’s fairly capable. The biggest gripe I have is that codex really restricts context window sizes and com

I expect it will be by the courts regardless and there will be a massive federal register journal based rollback of the Trump administration and a declaration that all regulation reverts to 2024 by default.

The picture everyone is missing is voting in November is how this gets resolved. The only way radical authoritarians survive on 30% approval ratings is apathy. Theres no reason to put up with this, the other side of a 70% electorate opposit

This research is not current, and is based on a flawed premise - generated agents.md are used. There isn’t a hand curated agents.md that has some knowledge passed to it that is withheld then measured against. I think there is overall someth

When I say total market capture I mean in the March time frame. At that point Claude code / 4.6 was so far beyond any competition even meta abandoned their entire internal coding harness and fine tuning efforts in favor of large scale

This assumes that a human brain produces the only “real thought” - the difference being that the processes of digestion are specific to the human process and are physical chemical process with inputs, processes, and outputs that are highly

I think these are more like RL tics caused by over zealous alignment towards specific goals, not all of which are to our benefit. A lot of the language used by Claude now is excusing of responsibility and inducing it to exit loops of work e

This is actually nonsense. More tokens means more capacity subscription and expense. Anthropic has enjoyed a high premium per million tokens because the quality per token was unusually high. Now it’s unusually low. This drives down the marg

I’d wager 30% have a profound mental illness and could be convinced of literally anything. Not even a typical super majority vote requires that many people because 30% is the rough threshold of typical insanity prevalence.

Many is a misnomer for “some.” The current administration won by a plurality, 49%, not even a majority. This was 32% of possible voters. Of people with a PhD, approximately 30% voted for Trump. Of Trump voters 1% had a PhD. This is still

The key is who has standing in such a case. Likely broadcasters are the ones most likely to be impacted. Also depending on how the statute is written markets with total monopoly could have standing, individuals to cities. It’s not just the

Honestly I wouldn’t want myself as my own guardian angel. In fact I think very few people look out for themselves well. I don’t want another version of me around, one is too many already. I’d probably be able to identify a number of people

The start of the dot com boom I would mark at August 1995 when Netscape’s IPO was the most successful IPO to that date. But really I mark it with the IETF RFC 1290 “There’s Gold In Them Thar Networks” in 1991. But yes, the 21st century was

I suggest downloading these frontier models just to have a copy; even though it’s 1.5TB, it’s worth sticking in a cheap disk and putting aside. Seeding torrents would be even more useful. The man is coming to lock these down, like they trie

Yes, it’s way off field in many things, gets into weird minutia without seeing a way out, and it’s often seeing a clear sequence of work but then halts on a statement like “ok I’m going to start now.” Then after expiring the cache when I n

I have to say cc opus 5 is abysmal. It talks to itself incessantly, gets stuck in minutia, fails to understand problems clearly and makes steering mistakes constantly. It also has a weird behavior where it says “ok I know exactly what to do

As well as tons of other things without electricity involved at all! Don Quixote was never in fear of being electrocuted. In other news, no whales were bothered by this windmill, either.

When I say distill I also mean mine it architecturally for insights but I doubt seriously the model training is entirely distillation of Claude, it’s almost certainly a mixture of both original corpus and reinforcement as well as distillati

Because the open model might have been distilled from outputs of the closed model doesn’t mean they are architecturally equivalent. There is almost certainly innovations in architecture present in the open models that the closed labs didn’t

Interestingly the reality of the open source release is they are opening up to full distillation by the closed source model providers at a deeper and more fundamental level. If anything the open sourcing will help Anthropic and open ai ladd

Come now. The purposes for which the data is used is relevant. I am much more concerned with my internal corporate IP being actively used against me than passively used to train the model. I would also note you and sign agreements that proh
