Correct, but they should explicitly announce this ahead of time.

> I have no hard data but I have a strong feeling this morning that something's wrong with Fable 5 compared to Friday evening. Fable is effectively worse than Opus 4.6 now. They severely messed with the model.

Yep, that's what they've been doing for a long while now. Also the amount of tokens you get per sub varies drastically from month to month. Needs to be regulated.

Same. The issue with Anthropics models is that (speaking regarding code generation) they REFUSE any kind of comment override instructions. I've tried everything and no matter what, after a few turns, they resort to generating the same

Marketing has always been the toughest part. Doesn't matter what you invent in private if no one sees it.

UB according to the standard committee is "we didn't think of it". It's not literal UB it's well known what it compiles down to, every time. (.loop: jmp .loop)

It's catastrophic actually. Like disastrously catastrophic. It started with C++20 mostly, and has only kept getting worse from then. See zero initializing variables by default (WHY?) compare/meta including half the STL and HARDCOD

The language is already littered with these "the compiler shall insert" and then a reference to the STANDARD LIBRARY FEATURE N.X. Which means if you're compiling in a freestanding environment half the time you'll get lin

This is all publicly available anyways, who cares? Also you're practically consenting to it when you run an agent locally

Why? Writing a memory allocator is quite simple, and I'd argue that _everyone_ should write one from scratch for any kind of high performance application. It's also trivial to outperform general purpose allocators that have to sat

Dead wrong. Win32 (externally) only seems stable, but internally it changes between Windows releases. Win7 syscalls are completely different from Win11 syscalls, meaning if I want to release a binary _without relying_ on Win32 I need to pro

It's memory/tiling alignment issues + wrong instruction/feaatures.

Yep, 100%. In fact writing anything GPU co-processor related is nothing like porting CPU code. Sometimes the entire kernel needs to be rewritten outright when switching between GPU gens (of the same vendor). Things like precision et al also

OpenAI is a better value proposition too because they give you effectively infinite image generation + chat usage, which is separate from work/codex.

Of the major providers, Codex/Astra. By far the highest quality model, especially for cross-discipline work.

I suspect this is the future of most businesses. Even today, one person can effectively replicate Microsoft from the early 2000s.

Yes, but H1B visas apply only for those working IN the US, not remotely.
21.
by rfgplk 12d ago
H1B visas are only given to US local workers (remote workers don't need them), most of whom will end up working in tech centers (aka high cost of living places).

Yep. Taking advantage of desperate people from developing countries who think a $90k salary is something extravagant.

The market is broken because investing in stocks gives the best risk adjusted returns, meaning investors refuse to invest in businesses and would much rather just dump money in equities. Large companies also refuse to devalue their stock (i

Not really, and even in your example, liberalism is strictly a right-wing ideology. The issue comes down to people using internal biases labeling ideologies according to their own in group biases, ie "left-wing is good and i'm a l

by rfgplk 13d ago
It's possible to do this even with existing frontier models. You just have to angle your prompts such that it doesn't invoke "pentesting" anywhere in it's chain of thought. This also allows you to get the models to

My general piece of advice to anyone looking to do this is not to even bother. Just strip the hardware package and replace it with an arduino/bb or an equivalent sbc figure out what the motors are and wire it up yourself. Way faster an

You can use an LLM but you have the provide the spec of the motor and the surrounding hardware apparatus. Not every motor is the same.
