the question is, what's the business cost of some amount of css bugs vs paying specialists or people to learn these details. the generalists win overall, except of course for specific cases where specialists are great

> The big headline is that Opus 5 got a 24% on the small subset of the benchmark that I ran - not much higher than Opus 4.6's 17% strict pass rate in the original paper. a 41% improvement is not much higher? come on that's just

That Amazon story is a misnomer. They just saw an opportunity with the tech and hardware they had to make a new offering for customers. It's not like they could just offer their spare capacity, then eg at peak US time snatch it back fo

Of course spinning up a hello world of anything is easy. Now introduce monitoring, change controls, version upgrades, multiple environments and regions It's not that it's necessarily complex. But if you don't need it, don&#x2

Yeah exactly this is right. In the same way that we don't get an LLM to write the HTML for each request, but we do get an LLM to write the code to make the HTML

True, but this was a problem long before AI (read this article, met this guy at a conference who told me x, my boss said blah) AI probably exacerbates it but crappy managers exist regardless

"we'll get lower prices that justify unemploying a bunch of people" isn't this proven to be true? better for the country, worse for a small amount of directly affected people?

I doubt it lets see who's right. 2028 r&d is it higher or lower than 2026.

> R&D cost is static since when? do you think their R&D in 2026 is the same as in 2022?

by willsmith72 4mo ago
but why is that a feasible hypothetical? Just 10x your revenue without increasing R&D cost? where's this 1 magic trick and why can't every company just use it?

What's the actual verdict on who reported it? The article is writing as if Amazon did a complex analysis and then reported it. But the latest reporting id read was it was not a jailbreak, and reported by the ceo (not the old technical

Ok after 2 hours.. I really miss fable. Opus is fine, Fable just got it.

silly or corrupt?

by willsmith72 4mo ago
Yeah same here, it's a huge step up for me. Curious why people are having such different experiences. Is it just to do with what they're working on? Specific prompt styles (eg overfitting on opus)?

Nice thanks for the info. 48gb ram would be a dream Yeah I go back and forth using more or less sessions. Was always a fan of kanban, less WIP better, but some sessions are just slow so I end up starting new ones.

Thanks for all your work and books, Lean Startup was invaluable to me starting my career in 2017 working in a feature factory. You've probably talked about this before, but with AI speeding up product "delivery" (especially p

It seems way more keen to do stuff without checking with me. So far the results are good, so I'm not complaining, but was definitely a shock. I usually have 5-10 sessions open so am used to getting some investigations going, coming bac

maybe i'm just pedantic. it's possible you could only build models like these from scratch until a few years ago for that reason, but isn't that an (illegal,unethical) early mover advantage? to me ladder pulling would be: -

that option is still available to everyone to be clear, I'm not saying what they did in scraping to learn was ethical. It wasn't. But I just don't see it as pulling the ladder. The ladder is still there.
