You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

Got absolutely read to filth: > You've spent more time explaining why Go's error handling is bad than Go developers have spent actually handling errors. > Your relationship with programming languages is like a dating show - you keep finding flaws in all of them but can't commit to just one. > If error handling were a religion, you'd be its most zealous missionary, converting the unchecked one exception at a time.

I got "You've spent more time explaining why Rust isn't memory-safe than most people have spent writing actual Rust code." So I suspect these are not as free-form-generated as they actually look?

Well, yeah?!

Ahha, recently my daugher come to me with 3rd grade math problem. "Without rearranging the digits 1 2 3 4 5, insert mathematical operation signs and, if necessary, parentheses between them so that the resulting expression equals 40 and 80. The key is that you can combine digits (like 12+3/45) but you cannot change their order from the original sequence 1,2,3,4,5" Grok3, Claude, Deepseek, Qwen all failed to solve this…

Looks correct to me on 3.7 extended (albeit with loooots of thinking) although I'm incredibly exhausted so I might not be mathing correctly:

What makes software "agentic" instead of just a computer program? I hear lots of talk about agents and can't see them as being any different from an ordinary computer program.

Computer programs generally don’t call functions non-deterministically, including choosing what functions to call , and when, at runtime.

Computer programs do all of those things actually.

I paid for it for a while, but I kept running out of usage limits right in the middle of work every day. I'd end up pasting the context into ChatGPT to continue. It was so frustrating, especially because I really liked it and used it a lot. It became such an anti-pattern that I stopped paying. Now, when people ask me which one to use, I always say I like Claude more than others, but I don’t recommend using it in a pr…

I have substantial usage via their API using LibreChat and have never run into rate limits. Why not just use that?

That sounds more expensive than the £18/mo Claude Pro costs?

The fact that the answer is interesting makes me suspect that it's not a good test for thinking. I remember reading the explanation for the answer somewhere on the internet years ago, and it's stayed with me ever since. It's interesting enough that it's probably been written about multiple times in multiple places. So I think it would probably stay with a transformer trained on large volumes of data from the internet…

It's clear that progress is incremental at this point. At the same time Anthropic and OpenAI are bleeding money. It's unclear to me how they'll shift to making money while providing almost no enhanced value.

Yudkowsky just mentioned that even if LLM progress stopped right here, right now, there are enough fundamental economic changes to provide us a really weird decade. Even with no moat, if the labs are in any way placed to capture a little of the value they've created, they could make high multiples of their investors' money.

Like what economic changes? You can make a case people are 10% more productive in very specific fields (programming, perhaps consultancy etc). That's not really an earthquake, the internet/web was probably way more significant.

Yep totally agree. It will also depend who captures the most eyeballs. ChatGPT is already my default first place to check something, where it was Google for the previous 20+ years.

Eyeballs aren’t enough though. Unlike Google ChatGPT is very expensive to run. It’s unlikely they can just slap ads on it like Google did.

Yes, permanently. Sonnet 3.7 is already number one in the ranking. Grok3 has no API yet.
