This is incredibly cruel, and not surprising at all. On par with this administration- Goons pulled back because they're murdering innocent civilians at car stops? Chief goon steps …

Reserve status is based on confidence. The US can't bomb markets into trusting the dollar. They've already begun diversifying away from it.

They built their own benchmark and then trained directly against its scoring function.. seems to be the rage, but nothing convincing from the article alone.

This is my read too- if American companies start backing nonsense like this, they'll fall behind permanently. > My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not so…

So company who stole stuff to make their stuff is mad because another company is stealing their stuff. And now a regime best known for lying to their own people is the one trying t…

That's the one murdering innocent civilians in the streets? That's the one locking up thousands and denying basic human rights? No. They're not the 'correct agency' for anything.

This isn't about "finding" fraud. This is about instilling fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Interesting generalization; that’s almost the opposite of my experience. A common hiring anecdote we share with people outside tech is literally: “A CS degree doesn’t teach you how…

Agreed, it seems to be working and it's nonsense. I don't know why you're being downvoted. "This information is too dangerous for you, so we'll just hold on to it.." Thanks big bro…

As an American, I'm deeply ashamed of m̶y̶ this country. I don't expect the damage to be undone within my lifetime.

Do we really need to keep slamming the grid and killing the planet for pseudonymous casino chips? Can someone please merge crypto with llm training/inference somehow?

Hey now! The man is _acing_ the multitude of cognitive tests that doctors keep giving him.

Agree on cause, disagree on solution. I'd lean more towards education than fornication. No judgement.

This makes sense. Facts cease to exist because you ignore them. I think Huxley wrote that.

I started coding AddonInteractive/AddonChat in 2001 shortly after graduating. A simple Java-based chat SaaS. When I felt it was good enough I put up a web site and started marketin…

4.5 works well for me too and avoids adaptive-dismissal, though anymore Codex is crushing them all. If 4.8 just brings us back to Opus circa February, it'll be a massive improvemen…

Assuming a rational decision from this regime is an absurd and amusing thought to ponder.

The first time someone explained Docker to me I remember saying, "Oh, you mean a jail?". Not quite, as the article explains. :) kqueue was a huge win too. A huge thank you to the F…

Tant mieux pour eux. I suppose some added sovereignty is to be expected when your closest ally extorts, threatens annexation and slams you with tariffs.

The METR report continues to hold up. I would add "No Silver Bullet" to the reading list. Careful who you share this information with- better to roll with the kool-aid drinkers whe…

I think it's natural to lose enthusiasm over time when a joy becomes a job. "I don't care for coding new stuff. Everything I may need either already exists or is too complex to do …

IME, based on an in-house bench it's still good to about 20% on the 1M for 4.6 and 4.7 with a code base >50k loc. The trick I used before switching providers was to have it write a…

This. Astonished to see so many bright people on HN taking the bait, especially from a company whose gone to such lengths to screw over their paying customers. They're a commodity …
