I don’t know who needs to hear this but raising a ton of money is not success. Also interesting from their Series C press release from earlier this year: > With this large Series C, we have entirely de-risked capital going forward, which

I was interviewing interns before this, starting in 2013 or so. There are plenty of more useful questions you can ask. Tell me about a project you’ve worked on, then many follow ups, for example. Asking about group project dynamics or somet

A classically terrible interview question. Solving riddles in realtime is almost never a real job skill. _Maybe_ in an incident, but you’d be relying on tooling and experience, not an intern. Same with leetcode at startups. It makes no sens

In US politics, the right is far, far better at winning elections than the left. This isn’t about personal preference. It’s objective political science. Look at the most contentious issues in the US: abortion, climate change, taxing the wea

If you think that the American Left is anything like communism, I’m sorry, but, respectfully, I can’t take your comments seriously. The left in the US would be center-right in Europe, who are certainly not communist (they have separate part

You’re making a weird number of assumptions about people’s voting and extrapolating to assertions about Society. Ads are not really the same. They can’t be as tightly targeted to what resonates with someone. Programmatic ads are certainly m

We will get much better at manipulation and better at people “writing” things to justify their own feelings. What’s new about LLMs is that you can scalably manipulate people individually. It used to be that you could either have scale (spee

Python uses comprehensions because whitespace sensitivity was a horrendous language decision, then couldn’t find a way to support multiline lambdas. Comprehensions are not a well-designed feature but a consequence of poor design.

Cursor was lambasted from the start because they wrote blog posts about writing a browner “from scratch in rust” but it was neither without dependencies nor actually worked. It was not serious engineering. It was a side project experiment w

You’re talking about the same fund. They were open about their gains. It was the margin calls and illiquidity that got them, not going negative. Some of their assets, like Anthropic stock, isn’t worthless, it’s just illiquid.

It won’t because KYC is a legal process and you don’t want to prophets that across the entire system with bypasses for it. That’s legal trouble waiting to happen. Yes, Google also wants to tie back to legal identities to sell ads. I’m not s

Again, what are you proposing for the problem of models becoming increasingly capable and dangerous? Be specific.

What are you suggesting as an alternative? Everyone seems to want some fairytale world where there are open models, they’re all safe according to that person’s exact balance of risk and capabilities, and no one except the author or cynics a

In a similar way that Python won, despite having some pretty delulu characteristics. Whitespace sensitivity is horrendous (can’t autoformat, no multi-line lambdas, bonkers inline list comprehensions) but here we are.

What do you think lend itself to this culture and how will it change? Is it considered normal / unsurprising / accepted? Like, “just cost of doing business”?

It's helpful to see it all in one place and be able to iterate with it independently of implementation. It's good at asking questions, then whipping up various options of designs that you can compare side-by-side. I'm not sur

I'm interested in benchmarks for Claude Design. There is so much opportunity there and I hope they continue investing in it. It EATS tokens though.

yes. At the bottom of the release post it says that they are releasing two new features, one of which is customizing fallback behavior instead of blocking for restricted models

You are correct! They do and it was bypassing my pihole. I was able to get around this but man they really want to stalk people.

I don't think they care if it's disempowering. They'd gain more in market share by indicating that this is God than missing out on a few subscriptions from math theory people. My guess is they don't do this because they

Yes. I bought a Samsung TV and there isn’t a way to set up Art Mode without the internet. So first you have to get a raspberry pi, install pi hole, then switch your router’s DNS. What a wild experience 2026 is. But I do feel like a wizard.

Reading the chain of thought for Fable, it is incredulous as well. It keeps thinking that it must be missing something or that this is a trick, because it can't have just found a counterexample to a famous conjecture. It's just li

Why would you need an M4 for this? If most of the "thinking" is happening on Anthropic's side, are you running particularly resource-intensive apps?

Are you speaking from experience or simply making things up? I know a fair number of former AWS engineers and managers. None of them think like this.
