I think “soulless” crosses a line into unkind. Just say you don’t like AI generated text.

> the one-word lines The funny thing is that there are no "one-word lines". This more or less cements the fact that it must be AI in my mind.

Ouch, this seems unnecessarily harsh for a side project made for fun. This might be acceptable if this was a low effort single prompt to an AI but it’s pretty clear from the write …

384 is a tad small. How does it perform on 1k/2k/4k..?

AWS never "humblebrags" about an outage. No blog post looks as good as an extra 9.

Companies post deeply embarrassing eng blogs all the time. See: every post about downtime or a security incident ever.

> If their AI finished it, where's the release? `bun upgrade --canary`. You can use it today. Keeping a large release, like a total rewrite, on canary for a while to iron out bugs …

This is really good - miles ahead of almost all other math writing I have read. One particular thing I really liked was the explanation of the determinant. When I was in college I …

But surely at some point you need to stop, right? Most web developers are perfectly capable without understanding the intricacies of the file system or OS, even though the browser …

The response says "I also believe we can do better". How is that in any way "you're holding it wrong"?

To be blunt the degree to which I take these projects seriously is basically the same as how extensive their eval suite is. A single guided refactor is better than nothing, but one…

Pangram said a bunch of reasonable things and responded very coherently to the point and you skipped over it and misinterpreted this one section.

This issue is, like, exactly what the response from Pangram is talking about.

How do you propose they check for something like this? They can't exactly ctrl-f the model weights for "Arc-AGI".

This doesn't seem quite right. For one, I don't need all the intelligence of an expensive model like Opus 5 to do the relatively simple task of choosing a correct model for a task.…

Sure Claude would comply, but Anthropic has no financial (or other) incentive to optimize this, so there’s no reason to expect it to be particularly good. It would be like asking t…

I see a pretty big gap between finding software vulnerabilities and “the world is about to end”. It is literally true that AI models are finding software vulnerabilities. It is als…

I think I agree with you, so maybe you meant to ask someone else? Or you’re just supporting my argument, in which case I appreciate it :-)

This doesn’t seem obviously true, eg an Anthropic model will never route to Kimi even if it were best suited for a particular task.

I think the burden of proof is on you to argue that Codeberg will stop at exactly two policies, given they haven’t said they will do that, but they have already banned things they …

> Non-math fields tend to reuse regular words as jargon Isn’t this the field with a “closed” “set”, an “open” “set”, oh and also a “clopen” “set” for some reason?

Why would rewriting Claude code, an app which probably has 30-40 (I might be significantly underestimating) extremely active contributors be easier than rewriting Bun, which has fe…

Pangram clearly says "Remember, our results aren’t based on this evidence." when you turn on supporting evidence.

Sure and OpenAI articles aren’t negative because of Sam Altman, Anthropic articles aren’t negative because of Dario etc…
