> if it actually wrapped around on itself with a half-twist, wouldn’t the letters wind up backwards too? Then 6-Down wouldn’t be MESSENGER but rather MESSENGER, and so on. This pre…

> The regulation is good only for US interests. I think your nuclear scenario outlines precisely why this isn't true. Nuclear regulation has terms that are "good for the US" only i…

And who is held responsible for crimes committed by AI? When open model A, fine tuned by B, is running with system prompt C, hosted by D running on E's hardware, is prompted by F t…

I've directly inspected calls for pro/Max plans and as of today they have 1hr cache expiries. This has definitely degraded to 5 min in the past but that's the behavior today. If yo…

Training on generating SVGs directly at all is already fairly niche. Generating full scenes with a cartoony character is even nicher. But there's plenty of non-pelican cartoony SVG…

I don't think this small amount generalization to other animals and vehicles is strong evidence they haven't trained on this, either directly or more generally.

No mention of KV cache, one of the biggest reasons not to switch models mid-stream. Once you pay, say, 50k input and 50k output Opus 4.8 tokens, you don't pay token cost for cache …

I mean, this is real. Your KV cache lives for an hour since the last token (on anthropic pro/Max at least, today at least, this has degraded in the past). So once you pay, say, 50k…

Are you maybe misunderstanding this point? > It's a fascinating arms race right now: the AIs are training on the humans but the human hivemind is also training on the AIs. Readers …

So, Claude Cowork for OpenAI? Feels overdue! I've loved using Cowork recently for sourcing decisions. Things where seemingly everyone's out of stock or questionably reputable, just…

I also love the countdown. Counterintuitively it makes the game less stressful — the counter goes back to 30 no matter what. If the timer counted up, you'd constantly need to care …

> I have to imagine if you give it positions in text it'd be pretty great Not at all? LLMs are a terrible match for the kind of analysis a chess engine does (scaled deep search, de…

In a hypothetical scenario where we were inventing the standard model in the first 10^-11 seconds after the big bang, you're right there would be an analogy there. But in that scen…

Stopped reading after "Yet in the mathematical equations that define the Standard Model, the eight gluons are distinct from one another in the same way that the W and Z bosons diff…

"Elastic" in economics happens to refers to how elastic the supply/demand is when the price changes (not vice versa, as you're describing). So e.g. an inelastic demand means the qu…

It doesn't solve scalping, it solves putting everyone in a Red Queen race[0] against the scalpers. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen%27s_race

Overdiagnosis will be a major problem long after we have the data. It's just hard convince people with a general feeling something's wrong and a specific picture of something wrong…

Another problem is that there haven't been natural experiments in low dose exposures the way there unfortunately have been for high dose exposures.

LNT is the null hypothesis. No one disagrees a linear model fits the data very well in high doses. If you want to argue that model doesn't work in low doses, you need a model with …

So, on the one hand, this is interesting! Reducing radiation from CT scans is a noble cause on its own. If on top of that it could make tomography cheaper and easier, you could ima…

> I will never pay the "normal" API token price for it. Not until June 22 you won't!

TBF I think it's just a remark on the upvotes. It's a perfectly cromulent comment with no business being at the top of an AMA.

> Your first 2 to 3ish paragraph (explanation and rephrasing) is very characteristic of an AI What you're seeing in those paragraphs is patience and empathy. Let's not let LLMs hav…

Zeros are just sold out everywhere through, no?

Yeah, this made it basically clickbait for me, in terms of time I wasted with the wrong expectation. The lack of downvotes on posts on HN has always felt like more of a bug than a …
