Is this meant to be read in order?

Is this the story of Johnny Rotten?

Interesting that there's not a single mention of cannabis, perhaps it's more of a musician's choice.

> I believe eval startups can work when they're targeting safety benchmarks specifically. Are there any examples of successful startups doing this?

Yeah. I'm realizing that the models are strong at drafting the overall shape of the writing but the specific phrases are grating once you've seen it hundreds of time in slop.

Even with the examples, I've found that explicitly pointing out what not to do is moderately helpful if the model is given some time to self-evaluate. I wish this was something tha…

Ah this is very helpful. I've been pointing out things that the model does, labeling it, and then adding them into a skill. The models (Opus, etc) are very good at labeling the pat…

Every time I ask the latest models to write something, it defaults to LLMisms like contrastive negation and long unnecessary lists. Is there a way to desloppify AI writing, or is t…

This is a charitable read, but I think that being able to pick from a panoply of models will actually yield much better results in the long run. The same model that has been post-t…

> GLM-5.2 cost a fraction as much. Opus finished in half the time and shipped a cleaner game. Off topic, but does anyone else instantly pick up on LLMisms like this? It seems like …

It's similar to this: https://openrouter.ai/blog/announcements/fusion-beats-fronti... Basically, if you combine a bunch of near-frontier models (like GPT 5.5, etc) you can get perf…

Their research around building a domain specific model is pretty cool, it's kind of like Karpathy's autoresearch but pointed at deciding the optimal model to use at each step of th…

Whoa, say more about Fable sabotaging your codebase?

These models don't seem very competitive, who's their target audience?

Super helpful, thanks for sending.

Speaking from personal experience, I already know exactly what I’m getting with containers. Same with Postgres.

The economics of working at a pre-IPO company that will likely have a successful IPO and a 20+ year post-IPO company are also very different.
