At best this is a small piece IMO, but this does look like a piece of it, well done. At least based on my own experience exposing sys prompts from niche llm models in my saas niche…

So when do we investigate USA companies for use of Chinese made products :)

So, no offense but DeepSeek and other Chinese providers are the ones actually advancing the price-perf here. Being less expensive than Anthropic isn't impressive.

DeepSeek is amazing, they are, from a cost/benefit literally an order of magnitude or more better than the 'SOTA' models, and yet no one really talks about them. I'm using them for…

This is very exciting, my own niche micro-saas has already been able to make heavy use of DeepSeek-V4-Flash for my use case, I am looking forward to seeing how performance improves…

So, at this point any company that doesn’t want ai agents navigating on their webpages have to kill the accessibility. And they do and will. Blind users are a tiny tiny part of use…

How can they expect to A. Get away with political fallout of making local llm use illegal? B. Somehow enforce this? C. Do this without killing all scientific research in the USA (l…

Government solve problem. Problem gone. No more problem ever. Problem come back? Because problem complex problem based on a large number of interdependent variables as is common is…

So, just be careful with this, it very likely is switching to other less capable model hence the cost reduction. So looks like Fable but isn’t. So you are doing extra work when you…

So it is funny satire. But my wife is finishing up her PHd and according to her: all students are using ai and pretending they are not because the PI and other older leadership tre…

so just a quick counterpoint ---> I played around with qwen 2.5 4B recently locally. An older model and a tiny model. Tested this model with optimized harness and it was good enoug…

yeah, my personal work experience has taught me that extra productivity is actual really just a problem for many companies. You do more work now I have to too. We don't have to wor…

So, maybe a dumb question, but do we have any real reason to believe that productivity at any level is actually associated with the actual underlying profit and earnings of any of …

Another great product from anthropic where I need to pay hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for the privilege of being the unpaid QA team for the multi trillion dollar corporation.

Sounds like something that could be pretty useful as a 'validation' subagent. Provide it the details/context related to a larger LLM's run or turn in a harness and have it act as a…

The current op manual for anthropic appears to be: A. Do shady shit to try to hurt competitors/stop distillation/stop pro plan users using other coding harnesses/etc. B. Any shady …

Well, that is one way to rationalize, as I guess there is an infinite number of ways to do so. The point remains, only one singular choice guarantees your own safety. And another h…

Senior engineers have always owned the application (by knowledge not by law). And that has never been a problem. The real problem is, that without new Juniors there will never be n…

The problem isn't rephrased. Option Red = 0% chance of death, Option Blue = chance of death but maybe you can be the hero and save everyone. So we all choose option Red and you, th…

Its an interesting psychological test. Because, no, I don't agree, red is the moral choice and also the most rational. Those who think the population is too stupid to behave in reg…

I think this hypothetical captures a sort of hero complex. You think everyone is too stupid to choose the right choice so you will save us all... Except we all chose red because it…

Please explain. Red guarantees safety. Why wouldn't everyone pick red? The only option that leads to a statistical chance of death is blue?

I would describe it like this. We are all standing on the edge of a cliff. You can choose the 'Red' option. That option means you don't jump off the cliff. Or you can choose the 'B…

If red pressers always survive then everyone should pick red. Its incredibly and obviously so and I'm concerned by the fact that so many commenters aren't aware of this.

Your entire logical chain, and your self importance, well, it explains why I'm always picking red. If you win and most pick blue, I'm safe, otherwise, I'm also safe. You get to fee…
