    Yeah, I've dropped back to 4.8 entirely for the remainder of this billing cycle. I'm going to be seriously looking into Qwen adoption and harness migration options over the course …

    Anthropic have a real fight on their hands now. The competition is no longer 6 months behind, it's 6 days. If this had come out two or three weeks earlier this would be an absolute…

    If it was 2021, probably. But Trump has soured relations in the last 18 months enough that the soft power about technology isn't there like it once was assumed to be. What's he goi…

    Even if the US does ban it, Europe due to its lack of European competitors, has no current similar protectionist incentives. Even if there is regulatory capture in the US, the rest…

    That's the current culture, but culture changes. Gauss, Onsager and Grothendieck hid their work. "Pauca sed matura". Your best interest only means your current best interest. What …

    It does feel a bit smarter, but it seems to be also "too clever by half" and its not ignoring the rules, it's rejecting them and finding work arounds. It sticks to the word of the …

    This all strikes me as an effort to move tailoring the harness out of the easily transferable .md file into specific Anthropic tooling to increase lock in. I've been running Opus 5…

    I have a hunch it comes down to the training data. We have spent decades as an industry talking up the new shiny thing, deliverables, frameworks, features, performance improvements…

    And the RF is a pre-certified module. Of course hardware is easy when you've offloaded the hard part to the supplier. Not to mention, a three year turn around? For this? Three mont…

    The last few have corresponded to basically within the hour or two of the release of a competing model that is getting good reviews. Twice I've gone "well, I'm over my weekly limit…

    Managers, good technical ones anyway, also dive deeper into technical understanding. They don't do it to write more code, they do it to figure out what the developer is saying to e…

    A rewrite is like moving house. In the new house, it doesn't have things the way you had everything set up "just right" is the old house. But you now have an extra bedroom and bath…

    Fine for my closed source stuff, but my open source work is specifically meant to be viewable, even by non-technical people doing recruitment or looking over my portfolio. I've put…
