I'm surprised I never heard people talking about using -Pro variants, even though their rates ($125-175/M?) aren't drastically larger than old Opus ($75/M), which people seemed to …

I'd be curious if there were some measurements of the final effects, since presumably models wont in caveman speak nor code like that

I figure OP would try and give the models pure text forms of the game? ..... l.... l.... l.ttt l..t.

This is fair, but this seems like the only way to test this type of thing while avoiding the risk of harassing tons of farmers with AI emails. In the end, the performance will be j…

I associate "yello" with Homer Simpson: https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctorZaius/videos/7233283715092... (fingers crossed I'm not somehow doxxing myself by sharing a fb link)

People will pay extra for Opus over Sonnet and often describe the $200 Max plan as cheap because of the time it saves. Paying for a somewhat better harness follows the same logic

The game looks really good, although I think it'd be improved if the sphere was a bit smaller. It feels like it takes too long for the game to become difficult

Oh my reasoning was coming at this from a different angle: H200s were released in November of 2023, so they're over 2 years old at this point while still being valuable

A few months ago, there was a lot of news lambasting tech companies for extending the depreciation lifespan of GPUs from ~3 years to ~5 years. Do these price hikes suggest a longer…

Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised you can't just ctrl-a + copy-paste your bank statement and get it to work easily

I don't think the commentor above is saying that an AI should necessarily apply the redaction. Rather, an AI can serve as an objective-ish way of determining what should be redacte…

That's fair. I sometimes find myself pausing or just talking in circles as I'm deciding what I want. I think when I'm speaking, I feel freer to use less precise/formal descriptions…

> Claude on macOS and iOS have native voice to text transcription Yeah, Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini all offer this, although Gemini's is basically unusable because it will immediately se…

I'm using Wispr flow, but I've also tried Superwhisper. Both are fine. I have a convenient hotkey to start/end recording with one hand. Having it just need one hand is nice. I'm us…

There are a few apps nowadays for voice transcription. I've used Wispr Flow and Superwhisper, and both seem good. You can map some hotkey (e.g., ctrl + windows) to start recording,…

Using voice transcription is nice for fully expressing what you want, so the model doesn't need to make guesses. I'm often voicing 500-word prompts. If you talk in a winding way th…
