Years ago I also did some experimentation w/ midi-device and SRS ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6tvHMvF8Mo ), where the focus was on ear-training rather than score-learning. Cl…

A feature whose absence I've found more and more conspicuous over time is interactive-compact . Given a current context, and impending context overflow, I know the directions that …

Hi everyone. 2nd submission attempt here of a very-indie, very-passion project after a no-op first try. Backstory: ~10 years ago I started tinkering with a web based platform for e…

Not so long ago, I was good enough for many coding tasks. But I found that things can change in a hurry. Yes, a cheap and fast Opus4.6 can drive a lot of value in current context. …

Yes, but I expect that the elided part is less important than people assume it is. Token count is a less important factor in context pollution than idea count. The worst of the rot…

I find this astounding. 2024 to present thread is can write a coherent 15 line function to ... what exactly? No future for research mathematicians othet than as tastemakers / agend…

The general model for subscriptions is that power users are subsidized by subscriptions of casual users, like a gym membership or whatever. This is a little dicier in post-agent AI…

Recent LLM dingers like the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample have challenged the efficient mathematics hypothesis. The JC counterexample was so small in degree and coefficient. I…

I'll bite. Claude code interacts with many system processes, files, etc, as well as external APIs. Processes audio via built in dictation. Manages a bunch of nasty auth. Etc etc. W…

Of course there is: competition with other labs, and self-hosting of open-weight models! Yes, the mechanics are straightforward if Anthropic (or Claude, if you want to ascribe the …

Opus 4.7+ and Fable are both much more aggressive than prior models with respect to writing memories to a location that's effectively quasi-private for them. It's device-local (so …

For capabilities reference: I made a lower effort but similar scaffold for LLMs to do iterative drawing in Nov 2024, with Sonnet 3.5 as the artist: https://paritybits.me/llm-drawin…

> You can have these things without owning a house. Yes this is feasible, but respecting it as a design problem, renting is more transient than ownership and tilts the floor away f…

Thanks much. Source code is for customers only I guess :)

I had the same nit, but I imagine deforming text / inline content generally would be a much larger effort.

I like this a lot and am going to experiment w/ incorporating in my early literacy app. Heads up: the "See it live in the showcase → " links in the API documentation do not go back…

Yes - persons with death wishes having arbitrarily powerful consultation is the crux of it. Apologies for the bad example. Replace w/ gain of function / whatever else, or just brai…

The logic, whose premises you can take or leave: Even at the level of, say, Opus 4.5+, open weight models give a quick turnaround to every Joe and Jane on earth having easy access …

A const prompt across all of Anthropic's subscribers could draw from a global cache rather than per-user? Although saying that out loud makes me question it - each per-user chat an…

Hey everyone. The short story here is that I've made an early literacy app that you are encouraged to try with your pre-literate or only-sorta-literate kids. It's intended to be mi…

Great respect to site guidelines, and to you. Object on both counts. 1. The post was obviously bullish / optimistic on the technical capabilities. Not in the least dismissive. 2. T…

Any minute: wear it permanently to sell training data on LLMs. Take an audited IQ test to negotiate your rate. Better than text-stripping the internet - this thing will soon be pul…
