Comment #49210291
I decided to ask chatgpt for a fermi estimate of cores/datacenter, which you can check for yourself: 1~10 million physical cores. The surprising part of this for me was the "low" p…

Comment #49210060
Back of the envelope math, if anyone wants to correct my mental model: 2.1B (min core)/week ~ 300M (min core)/day. Assuming ~300k cores (~3k physical server CPUs, seems fine), that…

I don't GR but I'm fairly certain dipole does not work for gravitational waves (i.e. two objects accelerating straight at each other). Supposedly, there's a specific definition of …

Wouldn't discretion "just" be a really good rules engine?

I used Claude to generate technical SVGs (which are verifiable correct) because I wasn't going to take the time to draw the grid/arrows/etc.

... I don't think the original commenter said anything about mice being a non-model organism. But mice are far from humans, and I, at least, find the distinction rather important.

This is a big part of why I am in love in Posthog's design (though personally I have little belief in my own current ability to replicate it)

Almost completely disagree. Slightly more expensive, but significant better on a per-prompt basis? For non-trivial projects, the former is a small linear increase, the latter is a …

Comment #49041036
I found 4.6 more amenable than 4.8 to style directions, we'll see how 5.0 does. Super-small-sample-size: I think part of its "Claude-ism" style comes from its propensity to try and…

Comment #49040955
Several other commenters have disparaging the design seemingly mostly due to its AI-generated nature, or maybe they actually do dislike cyberpunk. Personally, I think being able to…

Comment #48854841
How bad is it for you? Are you on ultra or xhigh/max? I typically ask it (5.5, now 5.6-sol) to use subagents for specific things anyway. On the Pro 20x plan, I'm seeing like ~1% us…

Comment #48854583
I find it interesting that no one here has mentioned the increased (usable) context window 258k -> 353k. That's huge, but I wonder if it means we pay long context (2x) for the ones…

I would pay $200/mo for Opus 4.8 already. Fable 5 is just a cherry on top (although, without it, Codex 5.5 is the better buy imo).

Honestly quite excited to see what can happen here, I think biology has generally had a lack of data science expertise.

(Yes, not yet, but...) As a Scala afficionado, "free"/freer runtime performance is very welcome :) Fun read.

Comment #48591477
(Based off 2-3 month-old recollection, take with a grain of salt) I had wanted to use it for my agent "network". A2A didn't fit the use case of "trusted agent, and was bloated due …

Not saying you're doing this specifically, but I'd be careful with thinking that "company" in China means the same as "company" in America (or in the West more generally).

Comment #48532798
Love this. I've shifted in the past few months to using highly expressive types in Scala 3 to have types carry more and more compile-time proofs (without macros, though a couple ar…

Comment #48472220
Minor note, 2x $/tok is not 2x cost. Personally, I see Fable being significantly more token-efficient than Opus 4.8. Then, there's also the compounding costs of quality.

My experience has been that 5.4 is slower than 5.5 (confound: I use >512k max context size for 5.4, though it seems slower even below the normal size)

Comment #48312438
I typically just launch CC with `--model claude-opus-4-6[1m]`, `4-6[1m]` -> `4-8[1m]` works fine. Still 200k max without the `[1m]`.

There's the other (orthogonal) possible explanation of using more GPUs for stress-testing before product launch.
