That's where the CLIs come in for me, I'm not going to waste tokens on screenshots and input device manipulation https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/getting-start... https://github.com&#

one does not just "throw tokens" at a problem, Ai is not that capable, and we are talking about MS Office file format, likely a NP hard problem

Why not computer use or using the tools the user prefers instead? The primary office suites have APIs/CLIs now

That came up in this interview. They talked about several of his papers, the one about task creation from technology he said they didn't have great data, but another group since has done a much better job and came to the same conclusio

distillation is a minor piece of training data, you have to have a good foundation for it to be helpful, and even if you have good traces, you need a good RL reward scheme at the point it is used (very challenging)

your post is an author's words, not your own, though I suspect GP was being snarky, unclear if this is fair use :] regardless, asking to be hired is against HN's posting guidelines, there is a post today you can add a comment to

I cannot believe they are still on going, guess there are still some rubes out there

it's not, that's the echo chamber speaking

if I can put my tinfoil hat on for a moment, creating more tokens / busywork is in their investors' / IPO interest

what's wrong with jq?

models are different, they are easy to swap out because they all use the same api schemas and are converging however the harness may very well end up as you describe, which for many is the same things as a vendor model family for those usin

He's part of the professional political / social media class now. He makes his money through engagement. I've stopped trusting people of this ilk. I listen to people who make most of their money not via the media ecosystem.

Thanks Simon! Scroll better now, but something still feels off about the page (to me), perhaps I'm not used to such a large "navbar" area. The "breadcrumb" feels like "false advertising" to me too :]

You missed the point, a resume is insufficient (imo) for finding compatible jobs (from my perspective of what "compatible" means). In other words, my ethics are not represented in my resume, ergo you cannot do the filtering I need

Is there a polymarket for Haiku 5 vs Gemini 3.5 pro?

I'm not sure it is so remarkable, benchmark gains seem to be slowing, as some of us expect

much of the commentary here is about quota usage and costs, how the times have changed

I don't really want the models I use learning from Claude at this point. Open weight models of similar scale are available now too, so I expect this "distillation"/"stealing" chatter to wind down.

My experience is otherwise, try alternative search SaaS like Exa, i.e. pay per search, but use multiple because they return different sets. My agent looks at the results, includes some, performs more searches. It's more of a deep searc

Some of them still remember when the US helped the UK overthrow their leader to support an oil friendly dictatorship, after they nationalized UK's oil business there

Not to mention Trump's empty promise to these Iranians that the US would be there to support them as they protested and were summarily executed en masse.

Israel's diplomacy has taken a huge hit. They have all time low approval/support from the majority of the world, including America

He really doesn't want to think about it anymore, but I'm sure he's not thought through the potential for the Epstein-Trump files to become a story again in the media without the Iran war to preoccupy the pundits

being able to build your own feeds (and swap apps) like on ATProto seems a better model to me, but most people do not build their own there, they take what is given to them more often than not I haven't looked at this other than a quic

I'm not sure why I want WebGPU kernels for running local models. I can see why people who want to spend cycles on my hardware would like to deliver and run models in the browser
