How are you supporting the claim that GPT 5.6 is "far more token efficient" than Opus 5? Tokens equal, output is cheaper for Opus 5 ($25/1M) than GPT-5.6-Sol ($30/1M), and it seems…

I think you're being overly cynical here. First, I don't see any claim that is the world's best model for agentic coding. Second, it is absolutely the best model in terms of coding…

It's interesting that it cares about formatting choices like bullet points. On the one hand, it makes the system more brittle and arguably overfit, since it's not making a decision…

You would be surprised how much of a difference the model makes for certain niche tasks. For my use case, `gemini-3.1-flash-lite` is ~20% higher accuracy than the next best model o…

A lot of people in this thread think they're being clever by pointing out that a bookstore can't sell "banned" books. But it's common for bookstores and libraries to feature titles…

It took a few minutes to get the hang of, but it does work very nicely! Being able to adjust length without any re-tying is a great feature

Seeing this makes me wonder if Grok uses Claude conversations for training. It's otherwise kind of surprising that they both converge on very similar phrases (e.g. "API integration…

Automatic coding systems have way too much economic value to be considered a "fad". I don't think you need to be Nostradamus to predict that we're never going back to manual coding…

You're describing "modularity" or "loose coupling" in code. But it rarely implies you can just delete files or directory. It usually just means that a change in one component requi…

He's most definitely talking about a white homeland [1][2] [1] https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1962406618886492245 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration

Reinforcement Learning by Sutton & Barto is an excellent introduction by two of the founders of the field. Read here: http://incompleteideas.net/book/the-book-2nd.html

The win is in how many weights you process per instruction and how much data you load. So it's not that individual ops are faster — it's that the packed representation lets each in…

I still don't understand is why they don't even make an attempt to apply overlayers, when (as the author notes) there is ample secondary evidence that it would be present. It's not…

I assume you didn't read the article, since that's their exact point... "Since underlayers are generally the only element of which traces survive, such doctrines lead to all-underl…

> I can only say being against this is either it’s self-interest or not able to grasp it. So we're just waving away the carbon cost, centralization of power, privacy fallout, fraud…

I've never heard the caveat that it can't be attributable to misinformation in the pre-training corpus. For frontier models, we don't even have access to the enormous training corp…

Yes, as is implied by the word "improvements"

You started this by objecting to my wording ("among the most") when I said fish/chicken are the most sustainable meat options. They are, by a wide margin. Beef’s footprint is rough…

I agree it’s worth comparing beef sources! That was my point about within-category differences and harm reduction. Saying "tofu is cleaner" doesn’t make beef comparisons pointless …

I don't think it's "unserious" to recognize that >85% of the world's population eats meat. If you're quibbling about wording, all I meant was: farmed fish and chicken are among the…

That take’s outdated. In the US/EU, routine antibiotics in fish farming are banned [1]. Growth hormones aren’t used in edible fish. Farmed salmon’s feed changed (more plant oils), …

On the contrary, farmed fish is among the most sustainable protein sources for those not willing to go full vegetarian [1] [1] https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-per-protein-po…

Hah, why don't you try implementing your 3 little functions and see how smart your "AGI" turns out. > not a particularly capable AGI Maybe the word AGI doesn't mean what you think …
