Kickback would be bad if it binds in the kerf - I think sawzall is better/safer for cutting pipe that's under load.

No one who has answered "no" made it thru the selection process, so there might be some survivor bias at play here.

It reads like something written by a time traveler from the past.

Can't wait, been running the 3.6 locally and it's been a boon.

I'm on the verge over here, the new Anthropic models have been a disappointment. I've tried the A3B variant, but had mixed results. What do you use as the coding agent, and have yo…

A request to avoid these rhetorical devices, explicitly naming the ones you want to eliminate (eg, antithesis).

> the risk that authoritarian governments [...] build AI models that are more powerful than those built by the US, and use them to achieve permanent military superiority or perpetr…

Claude peaked with 4.8 - Fable and Opus 5.0 are useless for anything beyond one-shotted toy projects for one crippling reason: they first invent unnecessary complexity, then get ho…

These are relatively easy to nip in the bud with a brief addition to claude.md

It'd be great if they could come up with a photo of the truck. But an alternative to the oversized absurdities we have on the roads these days can't come soon enough.

The bicycle is almost anatomically correct! Forks should be raked the other way.

Very neat! I like how the decoy text is less visible to the human eye than the "hidden" message, but it's the other way for the image models. Well done!

I've put a few lines in my CLAUDE.md to have it not do that, and avoid the top tedious rhetorical devices (super helpful when I have it write documentation). Still fighting with it…

Only the ones that use radio for control. The fiberoptic ones are "dark" to this setup.

It's an absolute regression to the mean. We need to understand the correct place for LLM-driven coding agents et al: they're beige paste extruders. Which is actually a perfect matc…

I don't know, it's getting better every day. The other day, I took apart an old handheld vacuum cleaner to scavenge the internals. All there was inside was a small but powerful mot…

We're getting closer to the bubble-bursting peak. Yet another tech corp that fired a ton of experienced people hoping to squeeze more $ for a quarter, finding out AI hype is not al…

The "best" part of this is all the trading algos that scrape the news act on it. They 1) can't vet sources all that well and 2) absolutely cannot discern lies (eg, anything coming …

I throttle the GPUs to ~280W each (my cooling solution is insufficient to run them full tilt), and so at peak usage I show a ~1200VA draw. Electricity is relatively cheap here, so …

I think it's silly to go for a laptop form factor. Last fall I put together a workstation with two second-hand 3090s in it (paid $850CDN each, now the best I can find is $1200). Wi…

This is a reminder to curate and prune all your past social media contribution, because when this goes thru, you KNOW they will apply it retroactively. You'd loathe to lose your cu…

> stay with the models we actually want If you want control over the models you use, you have to self-host.
