They're definitely not subsidizing API pricing, can't believe how prevalent that fallacy is on HN of all places. The question is how profitable Claude Code is. Your example 2 is real and major but your example 1 is ridiculous, alm

Where do you see that? I only skimmed the prompts but don't see any aspects of any of the games explained in there. There are a few hints which are legitimate prior knowledge about games in general, though some looks too inflexible to

The dataset miscomparison is a big problem. The prompt is super specific to ARC-AGI-3, which is perfectly fine to do, but skimming it I saw nothing that appears specific to the 25 games in the dataset. Especially considering they've on

...Their agent is called "Agentica ARC-AGI-3 agent for Opus 4.6 (120k) High". Yes, it's unfair to compare results for the 25 (easier) public games against scores for the 55 semi-private games (scores for which are taken from

Ed Zitron made that claim (in particular here: [1]). In the same article he admits he not a programmer, and had to ask someone else to try out Claude Code and ccusage for him. He doesn't have any understanding of how LLMs or caching wo

I'm surprised "faulty PSU" is not on GP's list of common problems. Almost every unstable computer I've ever experienced has been due to either a dying PSU (not an under-specced one) or dying power conversion capacit

AFAICT, Claude was not asked to prove its algorithm works for all odd n, but was instead told to move on to even n.

That misses my point: the evidence is the extensive argumentation provided for why it reduces risk. To quote Karnofsky: > I wish people simply evaluated whether the changes seem good on the merits, without starting from a strong presumpt

Yes. And I did port my GUI layer to CimGui.jl. The rest of it is pretty intertwined with Makie, didn't do that yet. The Makie version does look better than ImGui though.

I recently used Makie to create an interactive tool for inspecting nodes of a search graph (dragging, hiding, expanding edges, custom graph layout), with floating windows of data and buttons. Yes, it's great for interactive plots (you

Sure, depending on the particular product, having control and direct local access to the data would be desirable or deal breaker. But for this Clickup integration that's not so important to us (we can duplicate where necessary), while

I'd agree that this effect is probably mainly due to architectural parameters such as the number and dimensions of heads, and hidden dimension. But not so much the model size (number of parameters) or less training. Saw something about

Agreed, and here's a real example from a tiny startup: Clickup's web app is too damn slow and bloated with features and UI, so we created emacs modes to access and edit Clickup workspaces (lists, kanban boards, docs, etc) via the

Yes, it's a great deal especially because you get access to such a wide range of models, including some free ones, and they only rate limit for a couple minutes at a time, not 5 hours. And if you go over the monthly limit you can just

That's an interesting observation. I'd suggest modelling the LLM's behaviour in that situation as selecting between different simple strategies, each of which has its own transition function. Some of the strategies will be fa

One interesting and ironic part of the article is that one of the mentioned optics research groups has been submitting a lot of patents on EUV sources. Are we meant to be mad about it?
