That's fair, but I'm not sure why you chose to address the one part of my comment that isn't responsive to your points.

How exactly did I misquote you?

At that point, asking the model to e.g. note any ambiguities about the task at hand is exactly equivalent to asking it to evaluate any input This point is load-bearing for your position, and it is completely wrong. Prompt P at sta

You're retreating from your position. You started at "major step" and "extremely important", and you've arrived at "there's not no value".

LLMs do not have special or unique insight into how best to prompt them. Not in the slightest. https://aphyr.com/posts/411-the-future-of-everything-is-lies...

It wasn't hidden previously. It was fairly well-understood. The CC source doesn't "reveal" a single thing about anything other than Anthropic internals. It says nothing about the industry at large, certainly nothing new.

Why does everything always have to reveal something? It's such a definitive, decisive word, which is abused to the point of meaninglessness by clickbait. Claude Code's source could imply, suggest, point to, highlight, call attenti

Next headache? Any team that is actually reviewing code will notice this immediately.

This does what the best speculative fiction does, attempts to stretch and expand your understanding of the real world by presenting a provocative fictional reality. The author is trying to get you to speculate on the kind of intelligence th

You are presupposing that in this fictional universe, Christianity itself is not contained in and described by this memetic pattern. And why would you expect a memetic victory condition not to have an element of cliche?

No, they don't. They use short sentences in weird, stilted ways.

I didn't say they're dispositive. I said they're suspicious. Most people don't write effectively.

Think of all the things that took hundreds/thousands/millions of years to develop and mature, which humans have managed to destroy in relatively short order. Every 50 years we cycle out an entirely new batch of thinking humans. Wh

I've seen way, way worse. Either someone LLM-polished something they already wrote, or they did their own manual editing pass. The short sentence construction is the most suspicious, but I actually don't see anything glaring. It n

It's the strongest possible memetic weapon humans would have - I think it's entirely consistent with the meta-nature of the book, especially the self-conscious part.

Ukraine is a pre-existing ally of Europe and the US. Why are you making this about "the right kind of people".

by mpalmer 6mo ago
You sound like someone who learns all the memes about why the US is bad. Have you learned other memes, or maybe any history?

In the first 90 seconds, the narration refers to "the insane 19th century electronics that made color possible", but is referring to the 1900s, which were the 20th century. The video contains no insight at all into "why"

Really incredible how apparent the atmosphere can be. I love that you can see both blue sky and northern lights inside the bubble.

But why give him credit for subtext for which there's no apparent evidence? By all appearances he's saying this stuff in earnest. Why does it need to be "encoded"?

So not only is he not wrong, he's a keen social critic?

I grew up in the 90s. "Backrooms" and liminal spaces take me back to my early nightmares/kid fears, or the way they've stuck in my memory, at least. I have the same sort of memory reaction/association with chillwave

Well, we're not there today. Generated code and prose are still trivial to spot. And even mass-produced products benefit from thoughtful design by a human. Why didn't the blog post explain anything about why the rewrite is faster?

by mpalmer 7mo ago
The title is obviously dishonest. I do not hesitate to call it a lie. The post is also not about the speed increase, it's about how proud this team is of their agent orchestration scheme. As I understand it, there is really no speed

Anthropic can't prop up Nvidia and the chip industry itself. If AI as an industry can't start turning a dollar into $1.05, a lot of stuff starts falling in value

Yes, because they've vibed it into phenomenally unnecessary complexity. The mistake you continually make in this thread is to look at complexity and see something that is de facto praiseworthy and impressive. It is not.

The file is more than 5000 lines of code. The main function is 3000. Code comments make reference to (and depend on guarantees in connection with) the specific behavior of code in other files . Do I need to explain why that's bad?
