Publicity benefit corporation HAHAHA typo, think they mean public benefit corporation. Anthropic however is DEFINITELY a publicity benefit corporation.

Not for vibe-coders, and also not for any business or user with any project using AI for "most" of the code (an ill-defined term in their ToS that nonetheless safely excludes many …

Ah yes. The famous problem that is ambiguous because it ignores space travel! Let M_n := Mary's age now = 24, A_n := Ann's age now, and let M_p, A_p be the ages of Mary and Ann at …

Can't go wrong with Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory

I studied harmony and music analysis many years ago as a piano performance major in school. One thing I will say is that harmony really is not an abstract set of symbols on a page …

Squid is my working guess as well

I am very skeptical of the Guardian's skepticism

I really don't want AI-generated copy to walk me through how to understand various famous paintings by answering 8 boilerplate questions about each of them. If the answers were wri…

I fully agree with everything in this essay. Make distillation fair use. And let us use Mythos/Fable and Sol and successor or future models for all cybersecurity purposes.

That sounds like the worst "exam nightmare" scenario imaginable, but did the student get the PhD in the end?

Being charitable, "more scientific" means more rigorous, reproducible, reliable based on the consensus of that scientific community (if any consensus exists, which it usually does …

I have to concur, unfortunately. This isn't reliable, reproducible, or interpretable.

Wow, congrats on this project! Really cool. I majored in piano performance many years ago and will definitely check this out.

Sorry to hear about the stress of being a founder; I also am a solo founder and feel the pressure every day too. For what it's worth, you've already achieved something very special…

Question: Why does AWS need to roll back estimated bills to a "last known good" state? I get wanting to do that for ACTUAL billing mistakes, but for estimates, they're just that --…

Nice game -- a bit more of a challenge than the usual word games, so I appreciated it. I suggest including a little demo before the game starts to showcase how it works because it …

FYI just 502'd

lol fair and I appreciate the feedback. I'm overhauling tbe home page to include a demo and will definitely revisit the tagline as well. (Even if I still do believe it's true!)

The author pointed out that JSON-wrangling and regex issues are a pain in the ass. I found them to be a pain in the ass in my own project, too. He also argued that his project impl…

I think tools have to be flexible enough to accommodate a range of expected inputs. Even assuming models are trained to supply a particular schema, they are stochastic and randomly…

I call it tool-response engineering -- the tool-response JSON object itself and any content supplied, plus the available mechanisms after an initial tool call has been made.

I did indeed read every word. And read the code. Don't be rude.

I really wish this study had chosen to focus on more useful endpoints like revenue, profitability, customer retention, conversion rate, etc....at a minimum, don't look at PRs merge…
