I do think most of the "adversarial to their own customers" things are coming from a company in extreme compute crunch. Eg, if they stop abuse they have more compute to serve real customers. And some of it is coming from them bein

It can. They meant "some coding tasks". Not "all coding tasks"

I do think compute is the limiter here. It's a huge model.

by usef- 3mo ago
I really don't think this is effective advertising, reactions have been negative virtually everywhere. The security bugs were real (see the Open Source projects struggling to keep up) so I think gradual rollout was sensible originally

It sounds like they were required to this time. See their post about "larger safety margin" on the classifier yesterday.

The grandparent claim was that they were surprised downloading books was legal, I was saying that it's not, as they did need to pay. Whether the law is enough is another question (some cases are still ongoing), and whether the courts

This page buried in their docs is a bit better than the homepage imo: https://ampcode.com/manual#why-amp I haven't used them in a while so my info may be out of date, but they tended to track whatever models were the b

Given the chip shortage, I wonder if they push Sonnet to the older chips. It presumably requires less memory.

I'd appreciate if the down voters explain why. I wasn't making a value judgement. Anthropic did pay more than a billion: https://www.npr.org/2025/09/05/nx-s1-5529404/anthropic-settl... And is n

It wasnt, that's why they paid a >billion dollar settlement over it, and now license/purchase them. I don't know if the people distilling are licensing those books/etc today, though

Judging by the events of recent weeks, I'm guessing the low cyber results are why they were allowed to release it

New chipolos work in both Apple Find My and Android Find Hub. Most third-party tags seem to support multiple platforms now.

Ok. So what's an example of something that should only exist in a right click context menu, for the average consumer?
166.
by usef- 3mo ago
Defaults are for the normal consumer, non trivial software is not, I think? What's something you think must only exist in a context menu? Note that in non-trivial or professional software it's typical to have a hand on the keybo

It's not temporary: Mac trackpads are precise and the multitouch gestures are integrated well with the system. Mice don't support them.

I've been able to plug in any two buttoned mouse for the 22 years since I first used a Mac. Their own trackpads and mice allow two finger tap to be enabled for advanced users (but on a laptop one finger can press ctrl while the other

I guess we draw a different line then. This year has been full of a lot of great releases so far. Most normal people didn't even use Agents before January. It does not at all feel slower than previous years. HN commenters have been say

OpenAI's leaked documents also said OpenAI was profitable on inference. The small resellers of open models have nowhere near the resources to optimise their models or inference and yet usually have a lower cost, why wouldn't the b

That's only a few months old. Just because there's time between big releases doesn't mean progress stopped. Fable seemed very clearly a step up in my one afternoon of usage. I gave it several bugs that other models had failed

Based on the people I know, they're paying because when ask they want the smartest model to be the one answering. There's still quite a difference between models.

Anthropic have claimed they expect their first profitable quarter this year. As far as we can infer their current API prices have decent margins.

It's very easy to use other providers. See https://openrouter.ai/ which also lets you filter by where the provider is hosted and their data retention policy. Jeremy Howard was recommending fireworks.ai as a host of you

In the US the courts are also pursuing labs that open their models: Meta's current court case is over the training data of the llama models they released openly.

by usef- 4mo ago
My understanding is that US labs now are paying for books, news and other content from media companies, but people in the middle (like blog authors) are left out by current courts over whether fair use applies. There's definitely an ar

I agree that that's a more consistent position for the people criticising the data slurping. But I don't see people advocating those open-data models in these threads? It's usually about defending the zero-licensing competito

by usef- 4mo ago
The US labs do seem to have announced a lot of licensing deals though, and are buying things today due to the previous lawsuits. At what point will we be better to support a lab that pays (some) licenses today vs the ones that pay none? Som
