They may seem like small details, but I think a couple novel design decisions are going to prove to be widely adopted and revolutionary. The biggest one (as Karpathy notes) is having skills for how to write a (slack, discord, etc) integrati

Yeah this is what I was getting at with “reputation” - I think the world where anyone can submit a patch and get human eyes on it is a thing of the past. IIRC Mitchell Hashimoto recently proposed some system of attestations for OSS contribu

Obviously - it takes effort to hone the idea/spec, and it takes time to validate the result. Code being free doesn’t make a kernel patch free, though it would make it cheaper.

From what I have seen, (some) private schools are moving faster here; not to say private primary/secondary schools are unaffected, rather that it's worst in public schools.

by theptip 7mo ago
This is what terrifies me about the public school system. A revolution has occurred, but it’s unevenly distributed. The schools simply don’t have the flexibility, agility, or frankly it seems motivation to adapt to what has already happened

I think Jira / Linear is the more likely next target. They just promoted Todos to Tasks (with dependencies), and you’ll need some more mature solution for agent swarms. Cowork / Code are interfaces for individual knowledge workers

The reading I’ve done elsewhere suggests that it’s far from a done deal that companies will be able to extract refunds from the government. For example if doing so offends Trump and causes him to try to extract concessions elsewhere. Or if

The impact is that you get to go solve another problem. This absolutely does show up in a good performance review.

There’s a real tension here. If you are vibe-coding, this approach is definitely going to kill you buzz and lose all the rapid iteration benefits. But if you are working in an existing large system, vibe coding is hard to bring into the cor

Gotcha, thanks. I just use git but don’t sync to my iPhone, this helps give context on the value prop there.

Yeah, I would view this as a “levels of maturity” thing. It’s not completely misguided to judge a JD on whether they shipped 0loc or 1kloc. Assuming you have some quality counter-metric like “the app works”. For staff engineers it’s obvious

Why would you use this over plain git in a CI pipeline? Presumably you need your knowledge graph versioned?
284.
by theptip 8mo ago
Exactly. This is obviously targeted at these three, and in those cases will be a massive improvement over forcing every site operator to start collecting photo ID.

They can try, but: 1) it’s pretty transparently obvious that Anthropic is not a supply chain risk, and that this is a retaliatory gesture. So I don’t support that usage. 2) if they do try, Congress or SCOTUS could well reduce or remove that

I’m sure you can; grumpy people can criticize anything. I just think it’s a waste of emotional energy to get worked up about what’s very obviously a net positive. And I did not say gifts should never be criticized; “here have this free crac

It’s baffling to me that you can frame a $1200 gift to FOSS projects as “ugly”. I think it’s reasonable to grant humans agency. If they don’t want it they don’t have to take it. It’s pretty obviously a huge net positive.

What grounds for challenge do you imagine here?

by theptip 8mo ago
Of course not, nor can you write a contract that places your customers in indentured servitude. Those would be illegal contractual terms. But this is irrelevant to the case we are discussing, where Anthropic used legal contractual terms, an

Every company is free to determine its terms of use. If USG doesn’t like them they should sign a contract with someone else.

Take a look at Harvey. Pi / Opus alone cannot do what this product does. You can think of this most simply as “model + scaffolding/skills = product”.

I think it’s very plausible that the OSS models are being distilled too, but note that it’s asymmetrical. You can’t get an Opus 4.5 by distilling from DeepSeek. What you might be able to get is a slightly more cost-effective training data g

The point is that in this hypothetical you can get public access to Claude Opus 6, but they internally use Claude Opus 7 (Accounting Finetune) which is both cheaper to operate and higher IQ. So they (or their wholly owned subsidiary) can se

If capabilities stop increasing for some reason, then yeah, Anthropic is screwed. If METR task times double twice into the multi-day range in 12 months, then it’s plausible to me that Anthropic can charge $1k/mo or more by automating l

I think this take underestimates a couple points: 1) the opportunities for vertical integration are huge. Anthropic originally said they didn’t want to build IDEs, then realized the pivot to Claude Code was available to them. Likewise when

Are people surprised? I think the interesting point is the transition time. When is it ROI-positive to tape out a chip for your new model? There’s a bunch of fun infra to build to make this process cheaper/faster and I imagine MoE will
