100% agree. The key issue is that users think they are getting results from a specific model configuration and they are clearly not, which is fraudulent. If OpenRouter wants to succeed as a business, they need to be auditing the providers t

Yeah, the README seems like AI slop to me. That always makes me lose interest in a project because it seems so low-effort.

How are you supporting the claim that GPT 5.6 is "far more token efficient" than Opus 5? Tokens equal, output is cheaper for Opus 5 ($25/1M) than GPT-5.6-Sol ($30/1M), and it seems to outperform slightly on agentic co

I think you're being overly cynical here. First, I don't see any claim that is the world's best model for agentic coding. Second, it is absolutely the best model in terms of coding performance vs. dollar, and it's raw pe

It's interesting that it cares about formatting choices like bullet points. On the one hand, it makes the system more brittle and arguably overfit, since it's not making a decision on the content of the writing itself. Most people

You would be surprised how much of a difference the model makes for certain niche tasks. For my use case, `gemini-3.1-flash-lite` is ~20% higher accuracy than the next best model of comparable cost (considering both proprietary and open-wei

A lot of people in this thread think they're being clever by pointing out that a bookstore can't sell "banned" books. But it's common for bookstores and libraries to feature titles that have been banned in some juri

It took a few minutes to get the hang of, but it does work very nicely! Being able to adjust length without any re-tying is a great feature

Seeing this makes me wonder if Grok uses Claude conversations for training. It's otherwise kind of surprising that they both converge on very similar phrases (e.g. "API integration is kicking my ass") that aren't anywher

Automatic coding systems have way too much economic value to be considered a "fad". I don't think you need to be Nostradamus to predict that we're never going back to manual coding. Sure, the systems will evolve and impr

You're describing "modularity" or "loose coupling" in code. But it rarely implies you can just delete files or directory. It usually just means that a change in one component requires minimal changes to other compon

The win is in how many weights you process per instruction and how much data you load. So it's not that individual ops are faster — it's that the packed representation lets each instruction do more useful work, and you're mov

I still don't understand is why they don't even make an attempt to apply overlayers, when (as the author notes) there is ample secondary evidence that it would be present. It's not like there isn't already some element o

I assume you didn't read the article, since that's their exact point... "Since underlayers are generally the only element of which traces survive, such doctrines lead to all-underlayer reconstructions, with the overlayers tha

I've never heard the caveat that it can't be attributable to misinformation in the pre-training corpus. For frontier models, we don't even have access to the enormous training corpus, so we would have no way of verifying whet

You started this by objecting to my wording ("among the most") when I said fish/chicken are the most sustainable meat options. They are, by a wide margin. Beef’s footprint is roughly 10× higher, so swapping a beef meal for ch

I agree it’s worth comparing beef sources! That was my point about within-category differences and harm reduction. Saying "tofu is cleaner" doesn’t make beef comparisons pointless - just like the existence of bicycles doesn’t ma

I don't think it's "unserious" to recognize that >85% of the world's population eats meat. If you're quibbling about wording, all I meant was: farmed fish and chicken are among the most sustainable meat sour

That take’s outdated. In the US/EU, routine antibiotics in fish farming are banned [1]. Growth hormones aren’t used in edible fish. Farmed salmon’s feed changed (more plant oils), but it still delivers high omega-3s and usually less me

I don't think you've understood the paper. - There are no experts. The outputs are approximating random samples from the distribution. - There is no latent diffusion going on. It's using convolutions similar to a GAN. - At in

It doesn't play nice with a lot of popular Python libraries. In particular, many popular Python libraries (NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, etc.) rely on CPython’s C API which can cause issues.

Smalltalk JITs make p x * 2 fast by speculating on types and inserting guards, not by skipping semantics. Python JITs do the same (e.g. PyPy), but Python’s dynamic features (like __getattribute__, unbounded ints, C-API hooks) make that hard

by ActivePattern 1y ago
A “sufficiently smart compiler” can’t legally skip Python’s semantics. In Python, p.x * 2 means dynamic lookup, possible descriptors, big-int overflow checks, etc. A compiler can drop that only if it proves they don’t matter or speculates a
