Years and years ago I saw this story on k5 when it came out and never read it -- but from commentary I always thought was some sort of hard sci-fi exploration of what happens when …

It's exactly because everyone's tone is different that I'm confident it's AI. Granted, a bit of AI-influencing phrasing in human writing is common, but the idea that someone sat do…

You're too kind. It's obviously AI copy, and a huge negative signal (to me, anyway).

Don't worry, we'll get there soon enough.

Have you tried iterating on style feedback in AGENTS.md? I've been reasonably successful using this to get it to output code in a terse, non-defensive style that matches my hand-wr…

Reload should fix (did for me).

Doesn't look minified, just very dense, almost like progcomp code. First time I've seen an LLM spit out that style of code, I'm impressed!

It's just Claudeslop. It's everywhere. An epidemic. If you're familiar it stands out instantly. (Would you let someone else talk for you? In real life? Like open up your mouth and …

Why Codex GPT-5.5 High instead of Extra High, I wonder?

Yeah, it has a tendency to default to "smallest local hack that will work" and code as defensively as possible. BUT I have had great success using AGENTS.md and becoming better at …

Personally I don't find this to be true anymore! It's not always great and does still will often tend towards unneeded complexity (especially if not pushed a bit), but I often find…

way easier to work on a focussed c codebase you own than a mature unwieldy c++ codebase you don't. but it's fine, people will take that work and port to llamacpp and everyone wins.…

FWIW, I've found Codex with GPT-5.4 to be better than Opus-4.6; I would say it's at least worth checking out for your use case.

Deepseek R1 was a publically-available, MoE model that was getting a ton of attention before llama4. Llama4 didn't get much attention because it wasn't good.

i use a an auto-layout tool, so having windows stacked on top of each other is super-common for me, and the fact that they all peak thru each other (like the screenshot in the blog…

I wish I could remember the details -- I know I got annoyed with things being slow and when I got a new computer decided to go the no-homebrew route. I'm using nix, and it seems fi…

Horses for courses, but I've stopped using brew 'cuz it's too slow, so this might bring me back! Edit: no, it won't...

I thought this was parody until the last sentence.

I still remember the very first time I saw an emoji -- just an old-school dumb phone, and my friend sent me a message with an emoji, which the phone, amazingly, was able to display…

Welllll I'm not so sure that phrase is well-suited for your intended meaning, then. (Also, tangentially, I think could argue thinking models w/ the elided thought prelude satisfy "…

Ha, thanks!

I don't know for a fact, but I'd bet a few digits of cold hard cash it's a SwiftUI rewrite that is to blame. (Any1 in the know want to chime in?) And yeah, it's terrible. Apple doe…

The fundamental nature of the model is that it consumes tokens as input and produces token probabilities as output, but there's nothing inherently "predictive" about it -- that's j…

That description is really only fair for base models†. Something like Opus 4.6 has all kinds of other training on top of that which teach it behaviors beyond "predict most probable…
