You hope it’s “far-fetched”. As noted in this paper⁽¹⁾, ”Publicly releasing model weights is an act of irreversible proliferation. Once weights are released, they can never be reca…

Needs a (2020) tag. (The 2023 commit was just a Google Analytics update). A badge of honor these days!

All of which are easily bypassed in open weight models; see my previous comment about K2.5.

Classifiers are policy enforced by the process serving the model. Input classifiers get applied before it reaches the model so somebody hacking an open-weight model would skip this…

Constitutional classifiers go a long way to reducing unsafe usage in closed-weight models. And like we saw with Fable, closed models can be revoked and classifiers updated when “ja…

A change in kind is not the same as a change in degree. Ten orchestrated LLM PhD advisors is a genuinely different thing from a library.

It’s all about the harness , not just calling the API.

If you’re gonna capitalize the “D” you should also capitalize the “G” (since it’s the first letter of his last name…)

Thanks for the reply! I went to make the change, and all the sudden it started working with “>” again ( not URL encoded) so this appears to have been a transient issue.

The HN search help page⁽¹⁾ still documents points>NUMBER as a supported filter, so hopefully this is an unintentional regression. ⁽¹⁾ https://hn.algolia.com/api

From 27 years ago ... you could almost search-and-replace "PCs" with "agents" and re-publish it today... Dig more coal -- the PCs are coming https://www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/0531…
