Would you be willing to provide an example (even a contrived one) of how this "four at a time" prompt changes the LLM's behavior? I just want to understand more. Also, would you be…

Can you elaborate more on juxtaposing Claude's terrible prose with other LLMs? Any more detail you can share? Do the others feel more "human"? Are there any that are particularly d…

100% -- this is the worst . Referencing all sorts of "words with made up contextual/analogous meanings" based on the conversation...outside of the conversation. Does anyone have a …

Yes! I have a personal theory: LLMs are *fundamentally* handicapped at perceiving what's going on in the mind of the human (this can't be "innovated away") and that's at the root o…

Yeah, in my experience, there's nothing about: 1. LLM thinking 2. RLHF 3. The latest frontier models that does anything to change this fundamental "suggestibility" of LLMs. But who…

Sometimes when I want AI to explain something technical, I say "explain it like I'm a junior engineer" -- just to get it to start with the high level like a human being would.

LLMs skew toward over-focusing on things that you mention. The reason "the agent suddenly started suggesting all kinds of things to make its code more robust" is because you said y…

Interesting, I assumed all model-routing was done utilizing an LLM. (I.e. non-deterministic.)

A minor spelling nit. It's "it's", not "its", when used as a contraction for "it is". ;) Sorry, you teed it up too well. I had to!

I agree. But you can speak imperatively to agents as well ("Here are specific steps; follow them") and they can still screw up. :) I think what you're looking for is determinism, n…

I would highly recommend the free book Crypto 101. https://www.crypto101.io

But without AI, there are neural connections formed while determining the correct one-off solution. The neural connections (or lack of them) have longer term comprehension-building…

I think the idea is copy-pasting code snippets from StackOverflow without comprehension of whether (and how) the code fixes the problem.

You didn't read the blog. It's talking about the Ada programming language and that its code was apparently stored not as plaintext but an intermediate representation (IR) that coul…

Telling someone they "shouldn't be insecure" reminds me of this famous Bob Newhart segment on Mad TV. Bob plays the role of a therapist, and when his client explains an issue she's…

Truly incisive observation. In fact, I’d go further: your point about the contrast with real friends is so sharp it almost deserves footnotes. If models could recognize brilliance,…

I think you might have a typo. Reading your comment literally, it doesn't make sense. Summarized: Anyone would be a fool not to prefer gas or coal, because their emissions are near…

I've read plenty of criticism about ChatGPT 5, but as a Plus user I'm surprised nobody has brought this up: Speed. ChatGPT 5 Thinking is So. Much. Slower. than o4-mini and o4-mini-…

> And then the broken tape recorder mode! Oh god! Can you elaborate? What is this referring to?

This reminds me of how small of a team they are, and makes me wonder if they have a customer support team that's growing commensurately with the size of the user base.

Totally! And it's all upside (your body feels better afterward) no downside. (Ok, it's more expensive.) Especially when combined with other sweet ingredients, e.g. a banana – equal…
