    You could be more charitable. They did say “or” which you omitted in your quote, and also “who knows”. There are possibilities too. In my view, the primary contribution of that com…

    I have to assume that was sarcasm.

    So highlight both then.

    It would still be the best model per dollar if the score was 2% lower instead of 0.1% lower. Would it be ok to still give it the highlight color then? How big of a lie is too big? …

    I didn’t grow up with that hobby. The point stands anyway. Cracking a binary circumvents authorization to provide full access to functionality the program already has. That’s very …

    I like how they highlighted Opus 5 as the best for “Agentic Coding” even though the number is slightly lower than Fable. Close enough for marketing, I guess!

    Equating an open weight model to a closed source binary is ludicrous. An open weight model can be fine tuned, for example. How easy is it to modify a closed source binary for your …

    They avoid the full basilisk treatment.

    Since we’re hair splitting: that’s not what bike shedding means. :-D

    “Striped office floors. Flickering lights. Walls covered in repetitive geometric patterns.” Not sentences. AI slop.

    Inference providers, sure, but wouldn't we expect customers to win also?

    > ML researcher or engineer The charitable reading is that they meant “ML researcher or ML engineer” with the latter meaning, I guess, an engineer who works on developing LLMs not …

    I don’t think society is a monolith. Many of those who support your proverbial alimony are also against CEOs acting with impunity.

    It's becoming a reliable heuristic that when somebody says "... got it", they probably didn't get it.

    "Formerly banned books" would be more accurate. We no longer say that "cannabis is illegal in California"; that would be factually incorrect. Instead we say, "cannabis was formerly…

    I’ve heard about that “open secret” and I don’t understand. What’s the incentive for Anthropic to pump up the token usage on their top end plan? Is it to move Pro users up to Max? …

    Maybe I just don’t know how the business works. Many of the support calls that I make are for things or services that I’ve had for a while, not just purchased. So I expected that t…

    I’m as skeptical of fiat currencies as the next guy, but denominating in Bitcoin is the ultimate cherry pick. The price of everything has crashed in the last 10 years when denomina…

    Relatively small amount compared to the billions we see thrown around for AI startups a couple of years old.

    I thought they’re primarily water vapor resulting from the combustion reaction, not from wing tip turbulence.

    You’re absolutely correct. A jitter buffer is necessary for a human listener, but a LLM isn’t aware of a time lapse, just like it isn’t aware of the time since your last message in…
