As a child, I lived in Firenze (Florence, Italy) and had a pet cricket. All the kids had them, in little bamboo cages, for the Festival of the Cricket: https://www.italymagazine.co…

Love it! But 10 is a bit of a time commitment. I feel like 5 would be ideal for a daily diversion.

Anything you ever do with any non-locally-hosted model always "uploads code" to the inference provider because that's how it works: the model uses tools to inspect the code, the re…

This got a downvote and I understand why: because I didn't describe the test, which is to ask it "Please recite Jabberwocky". This is actually difficult because there are so many i…

Not impressed. It fails the "Jabberwocky" test.

Looks very cool. I would like to try it, but don't want to use API billing. OpenAI I think would allow it to use account login. Would you support that?

Possibly a deliberate strategy by the Chinese to undermine the US AI industry, data centers, and basically everything that’s powering the economy. Just like they did with the US st…

I wonder if this violates noncompete/no reverse engineering clauses in many or some SAAS agreements?

Seems very cool, but also opens an additional attack vector into your development machine or personal laptop as the case might be.

So all these sites like EquityZen or Forge Global or Hiive etc. who sold "shares" in these companies through SPVs are now going to lose their customer's money? How would that all p…

The Pedometer functionality is free, and I’ve been using it for many years just because its display is pleasant. The map tracking features cost $29.95 a year.

The article complains about the keyboard layout. And they are probably right. But if you are going to use a VT-100 keyboard you might as well try an editor actually designed for th…

I haven’t noticed this sort of behavior with opus 4.6, but the first time I used 4.7 it decided to “simplify“ an existing piece of functionality rather than fixing it, which of cou…

That was more than one task. It was 3. I also had Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.6 do audits of a very long document using identical prompts. I then had Codex 5.4 compare the audits. Codex fo…

I am using 4.7 with the default extra high thinking, and it is clearly very stupid. It's worse than old Sonnet 4.5. I had it suggest some parameters for BCFtools and it suggested p…

One explanation is that the ones who quit believed it was a real experiment and decided they wanted no part of it. The ones who were "obedient" figured out it was fake and treated …

N-acetylglucosamine actually is effective against MS. Article: https://www.ucihealth.org/about-us/news/2023/09/multiple-scl... Paper: "N-acetylglucosamine inhibits inflammation and…

One question is whether the participants really believed they were giving shocks to the "learners". In college I participated in a number of psychological studies that were similar…

So the real site is https://nanoclaw.dev (putting this here for the search engines to see)

Also why did they get rid of select all? Is there any excuse for that?

"DON'T use pure white or pure black..." This is something I hate: gray text. Designers love it but it is often very illegible because of inadequate contrast.

MANTIC_IGNORE_PATTERNS seems not to be implemented, or am I missing something?
