Because said "highly damaged brain" in most respects still functions pretty much like a healthy one. There is no misinformation in what I wrote.

Sperry's experiments makes it quite clear that the comparison is not nonsensical: humans can't reliably tell why we do things either. It is not imbuing AI with anything more to recognise that. Rather pointing out that when we seek

If you ask humans to explain why we did something, Sperry's split brain experiment gives reason to think you can't trust our accounts of why we did something either (his experiments showed the brain making up justifications for de

It provides failover between multiple providers (of both the same model, with routing based on price, performance or availability, and you can define presets that allows automated failover to entirely different models if you want), middlewa

I haven't looked at whether Eden does this, but Openrouter provides a number of these, and more. I go direct to the major providers, and use OpenRouter for the smaller ones because it saves me a lot of hassle. If Eden provides a simi

OpenRouter is far more than a simple proxy.

So important that you'd switch to another middleman at no additional cost over the middleman you're already using? Probably for quite a few people.

At the right height the pressure would be equalised, and so while a leak isn't great, they'd be slow and manageable.

Even better than just the atmosphere itself: Venus has an induced magnetosphere.

The solution to this with Claude is to use a small agent harness and include refactoring steps once tests are written and pass. For some things you will need to include rules on coding style it should prefer. This is especially true for Rub

The more common is an advance payment, but note that these are almost always offset against royalties, not in addition to royalties, and you need to be fairly successful before you'll ever earn out a full advance. For 99%+ of authors

It's a similar subset to mruby, and it might well end up influencing mruby, which does have its users. But it's almost a different language in some ways.

I have a constant droning monologue that only stops when I sleep or meditate. But I also know at least one author who doesn't think in words at all , even when preparing to write or speak them.

Same for me. There are tasks when I want the smartest model. But for a whole lot of tasks I now default to Sonnet, or go with cheaper models like GLM, Kimi, Qwen. DeepSeek hasn't been in the mix for a while because their previous mod

It's perhaps fitting that Christopher Priest, one of the biographers, is the author of Inverted World, that might well fit in the "inner space" genre.

To quantify that: If the author has self-published on Amazon, 35%-70% goes to the author. (70% above a certain price threshold and assuming the e-book is exclusive to KDP) If published via a publisher, the author is more likely to be gettin

Anyone (with sufficient karma, I guess; I don't recall, but HN gates a few features behind that) can flag for any reason, and sufficient flags will get a post taken down. HN is prickly - my guess is this got flagged because it's m

You can't train a model to detect arbitrary text to SHA, so yes, there are edge cases - this doesn't fully generalise. You can, however, trivially train a model to detect natural language to SHA. More specifically, for poisoning t

If you take 2 on average every 4 hours, you're at 12. If you're feverish or otherwise feeling ill enough and sleep deprived enough, forgetting when you took them last is easy. Personally I write down the time I took the last one.

It is absolutely valid to warn about long term use, and NSAIDs in particular (I was lucky and had a gastroscopy before they'd done any serious damage, but they found significant erosion of my stomach lining due to NSAIDs), but acetamin

I feel like it's Sonnet level for implementation, but not matching up to Opus for planning. But I agree it's close enough that it's worth using heavily. I've not cancelled my Claude Max subscription, but I've added

I don't find GLM 5.1 beating Opus personally, but I do think it is good enough to consider it part of the SOTA pack at this point. It feels like it needs more time and tokens to achieve things, but that's okay - it's so much

Indeed, the existence of public access to the spam detection mechanism (up to and including spammers having tons of Gmail accounts etc. to test deliverability with) provides the same mechanism: The spammers can use the detector meant to sto
