if he “had been made aware that OpenAI has scraped and trained on information that was behind a paywall,” the company would have required OpenAI “to retrain its models.” ... yeah, sure.

I got 3x Bose QuietComfort 35 2 by buying 1. They did honor their warranty, but my impression was that they plan for people not going through the effort of actually requesting a replacement item, even though the warranty says they can.

The first one, "Henckels", openly says that their stuff is from China. But the second link, "Zwilling" says "Approved". But boy was I disappointed that their "Zwilling Peak" branded ceramic hybrid fry

I would like to run a robotics company. But raising for that is super challenging, because you have high execution risk combined with low margins on the final product. It's like the opposite of what western VCs want to see. That's

"VCs in the US are too big now — only social media (prev) or Al (now) have the scale they want." I agree.

(I don't work at Anthropic, but I've designed RLVR tasks) My impression is that especially for long-horizon tasks like science, the harness is much more important than people give it credit for. Claude Code + Fable 5 seems to have

That’s what big trucks use. Because you can use wide angle cameras and actually see more.

aggressively proactive I'd say that's the correct way to describe frontier models. They were trained with reinforcement learning based on human feedback. And obviously, humans prefer the bug-free variant. That's why models ar

In my opinion, the big issue with Fable is that Claude Code cannot use it properly. I know, that sounds weird, but I've had Fable run down the wrong lane (and never stop) or give up and claim that something was impossible so many times

My experience with Claude is that it suffers badly from “not invented here” syndrome. So probably it rebuilt something like llama from scratch and then 2 hours suddenly seems reasonable (if you don’t question the approach). And that’s the t

Watching the video, 11:37 [1] made me feel very uneasy about the validity of those results. CMA-ES optimization times in seconds? That only works if you do no physics, no collision checks, no trajectory roll-outs. (Otherwise you're loo

I like the idea of adding a fake cpanel subdomain for 169.254.169.254 so that script kiddies will start port-scanning their own hosting provider, which will likely get them flagged/banned.

Humans will typically learn after you have forced them to apologise for the same mistake for 20 times in a row. AI won’t.

Fully agree. I tried to refactor parts of a large code base with Fable+ultracode and it just keeps accidentally merging distinct concepts and making up explanations/reasonings that the code base did not contain. For example, the code b

The grab app shows un-skippable ads. And some taxis even have ads "based on your interests" playing on a TV in front of your seat. I found their "no marketing" ;) to be almost too much.

The thing that nobody talks about is how many EU citizens already are working on frontier models, just inside US companies. That’s why the prohibition was so crippling for Anthropic. And, btw, the bang per buck that I got from OVH was bette

This is an interesting approach with integer programming and then using an explicit solver. It’s probably very slow, but you only have to run this once and it produces the mathematically perfect result. In the past, I got good results with

Me, too. I love that they have tables with return and warranty percentages so you can see which products other people kept and which products only keep breaking.
