> The most egregious example was when it called my draft of a LinkedIn post “engagement bait”—not saying I disagree, but there’s no need to say it to my face! Maybe it did need to …

Isn't this sort of like asking "Why does getting shot kill some but not other?" It depends on which part of the body was shot, and which part of the DNA was damaged.

According to these charts I should switch from Fable to Opus in Claude Code now?

git's data model is incredibly powerful and flexible, but its UX is famously... interesting: https://stevelosh.com/blog/2013/04/git-koans/

Similar to the story of George Dantzig, who was late to class and solved two open problems in statistics because he mistook them for homework, I think the current batch of frontier…

Yeah agreed, from one standpoint I couldn't care less that they did a "distillation attack", but I am interested in knowing if China is able to develop open weight frontier models …

Does the apple passwords app work this way (log in to a public machine by scanning a QR code?)

The legal argument is that we gave this data "voluntarily" to the data broker so the government no longer needs a warrant. This is an area that desperately needs new laws to catch …

I have a side business selling custom fingerprint jewelry and I use gemini nano banana to clean up customer submitted fingerprint images. This was a step I used to do by hand at 10…

I feel bad for the engineers at Cursor who have to use Grok in these sorts of experiments.

I think the SotA is moving too fast for the production timelines of an ASIC, wouldn't you think? People are just now coming out with LLAMA ASICS but who would want to use LLAMA? Or…

What are the steep angle arrows indicating? Too steep for an escalator/stairs, but not 90 degrees like an elevator would need to be. Anyone know?

> Is there anyone credible who thinks this is a plausible pathway for SpaceX to make huge amounts of profit? Scott Manly (who I think is credible) has a video where he goes over th…

Can you tell me more about the cache misses causing a hefty bill? I think I read somewhere that interacting with a CC instance that has been idle for over an hour can cause a cache…

Agreed, and the prevailing wisdom now seems to be that unless you can release a truly frontier model, you might as well release yours as open source to undercut your competition.

I do not mind when I am coding with Claude and it uses all the typical claudisms. I am much more bothered when I am reading a blog post, email, or other form of prose and I see tho…

Very interesting, I wonder what happened in 2020 that causes the rotational speed to start drifting the other way? Pandemic -> more people working from home -> less people in tall …

> I also don’t understand the reference to 2017. My guess is that is when they last changed the offset, so the -37s has been in effect since then.

What causes the unpredictability in this? I would have guessed we have earth's rotation and orbit down to many decimals. Does geological activity, weather, or something else cause …

You can never ask why a model did a certain thing, or what it was "thinking" when it said something - just like you can't ask a human which neurons were firing when they had a cert…

Yes, good science writing almost always gets an opinion from someone not involved in the research for the article. I would guess varying definitions of "not involved" depending on …

Ordering a main, a side, and a drink isn't really "working to reach it". Your original post was insinuating that the OP or their friend lied about the cost and I was just demonstra…
