    Comment #48246233

    An alternative I've tried is to ask Claude Code to create programming exercises or challenges on some topic and then ask it to check my work after every step while giving feedback.…

    I probably have an unfounded assumption that whatever coding agent they make will work really well with their models, better than external harnesses. I don't have a good sense for …

    Comment #48239098

    Once they have their own coding agent which they seem to be working towards, I may start predominantly using their models. They seem to be doing all the "right" things, open sourci…

    It could easily be fixed on google's side with a better prompt used for search queries.

    I also encountered an issue with my credits. I was previously subscribed to the max plan, claimed credits, then downgraded to the pro plan and noticed I lost my credits. I didn't u…

    This could end up becoming a cat-and-mouse game where users programmatically try to turn their non-interactive usage of Claude Code to appear interactive and Anthropic tries to det…

    In theory I would expect it to do everything the current frontier models are capable of but with the added benefit of real time interactivity for better collaboration. The biggest …

    The noteworthy things to me are that the architecture is a transformer that takes in text, image, and audio input and produces text and audio output, all trained together, and it w…

    I dislike the title because it doesn't clearly state it's a layoff. "Building for the future" gave me the impression that it's about some major new initiative with a roadmap outlin…

    The blog post was published a couple months ago, and it looks like there hasn't been a follow-up release with the fully trained model. I'm not sure if there's much to take away fro…

    Despite their attrition, this combined with their cursor partnership is likely going to make them competitive in coding agents soon.

    I mean I tried sending the pieces of text to Opus that Kelsey was referring to on her blog just to independently check the identification claim. Presumably those pieces of text fir…

    Comment #47969192

    I tried the four pieces of text with Opus 4.7 (in incognito) and it guessed correctly for two of them, and I made sure to specify no web search and the model seems to have obeyed m…

    > We support 34-qubit CPU and 36-qubit GPU simulators available 24/7 to our users. This one looks like an exact simulator that handles exponential states, so it's far more limited …

    Comment #47957697

    If I'm understanding this correctly, it doesn't simulate any general purpose quantum circuit with 1000 qubits, only ones where there's a more efficient strategy than an exponential…

    This is the right partnership to happen. SpaceX has all the compute but is missing the talent for training LLMs, especially on the RL side. Cursor has the talent and RL stack, but …

    All the examples you gave are chatbots with web search integrated. Are you sure those chatbots didn't just reference false information it found in web searches? That's fundamentall…

    This seems like a wasted effort when AI will primarily learn the majority consensus view and not one-off misinformation. AI tries to learn pattern matching for generalization, so g…

    Plenty of people wanted to spend more than $20 but less than $200 for a plan. It's long overdue IMO.

    I think of journalism like any other job where there's an expectation to produce results, where the main objective here is to write an article that lots of people read. It's a topi…
