I found opus 4.8 too agreeable and too wordy(as opposed to codex) and too agreeable. If you are reading documents generating by it was too much. TBH. Fable did a bit better on this…

If you love em dashes and commas you will also love this https://archive.ph/0dxpW from the newyorker by Mary Norris. I was never a big reader as a kid, but I fell in love with the …

There is just so much that can go wrong with rocket launches if you do cursory reading about these things. A few random examples: The lowest stage cant just be "turned down" or mod…

Noob Question: There is a famous parlor trick with generative networks(I think it was GANs but it might be some kind of diffusion based network.), you start with a canvas and draw …

Ah so you extract decisions, actions and outcomes and you index and search over them?

Especially for indie users/devs and smaller teams. I built a part of this(the retriever) in https://github.com/itissid/wiki for replacing deepwiki. I think the challenge is to teac…

I have a request: can this text be even more AI generated?

I think the main reason for this outrage is partly a confluence of factors some of which you pointed it. But my money/theory is on what I call `alonliness` specifically due to lack…

Interesting. Making low latency correct tool calls correctly is pretty important in voice AI cascading models(STT LLM TTS). Realtime Models are still 2x the cost and there are only…

Still too narrow a take on what self help techniques are killable by ai. I also think self help as a bunch of life hacks and habits is precisely what’s wrong with the industry writ…

#TIL multiple myeloma went from being a death sentence in the 90's to quite manageable using a really old compound called thalidomide[1]. Though it sad that it was exploited for al…

I wonder if the government might consider reversing the circadian cycle and tell people to work in the night and sleep in the day. At this point its better because IIUC many animal…

Yep and the speaker is not half bad! It has good hardware. Its a shame they could not spin it off to anyone else(not for lack of trying) before they were "forced" to kill it becaus…

I've heard there is a way to know if your resume is getting blackholed by a AI resume screening process — sort of like a test to fix it up. Any one knows how that works?

> People generally limit the number of roofs to one, as they are expensive and important for keeping the outside out and the inside in. What does this mean? And why is it the worst…

Has anyone gone back to doing code katas, code craft like exercises by hand? They help keep me grounded. Also I feel like it’s fine to let AI write your code. I felt very much like…

There is no difference between claude -p and typing into their "harness" in tmux. They want to make you pay for API which is subsidizing these plans. They say they want to do it du…

I did too. did you do this mainly for observability reasons and a better harness?

So ive been using claude -p from last year with a harness around it called codelayer(i am sure some of you have been using something similar too). Their harness is completely garba…

I would say its naive to regulate the algorithm than its effects. The effects are all that matter at the end.

Instead, a regulation could mandate the administration an anonymized unbiased mandatory eval test at the end of every week/bi-week/month just like instruments for psych evaluation …

He did mention in one of the planet earth 2/3 series how so much of the land is used for farmed animals. And, for the sake of completeness of argument, for restoring what was lost,…

You do know that in china while renewables are 30-40% of installed capacity(how many GWh they can theoretically produce), they are a smaller portion of generated capacity because i…

Also how EMs in amazon construct hunger games. Just hire a person every now and then so they can let go of another to prove you made your team better on some non-sensical performan…
