This post is a mess. The best advice is clear and specific, and this is neither. The examples are at best loosely related to the points they're supposed to illustrate. It's honestly so bad that I cynically suspect that this post w

3x price drop almost certainly means Opus 4.5 is a different and smaller base model than Opus 4.1, with more fine tuning to target the benchmarks. I'll be curious to see how performance compares to Opus 4.1 on the kind of tasks and met

It is considered valuable and worthwhile for a society to educate all of its children/citizens. This means we have to develop systems and techniques to educate all kinds of people, not just the ones who can be dropped off by themselves

Sure, but the point is that if 5% of students are using AI then you have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI, because otherwise you're giving a massive advantage to the 5% of students who used AI, right?

Well, no, you can't play it because the source code doesn't include assets like the 3d models and textures and levels and sound files. You need to acquire those some other way if you want to build a playable version of the game. I

I love DCSS, and in abstract I think that "meaningful decisions (no no-brainers)" is a great top priority design principle, but in practice I wish they cared more about maintaining the qualia of the game itself. I understand why t

that's not all there is to it, but I think that "the rest of it" is just additional fine tuning. Benchmarks are good fixed targets for fine tuning, and I think that Sonnet gets significantly more fine tuning than Opus. Sonnet
